Sean Taylor Dies after shooting

[MadtownPacker]

Hey Bigguns...

Your lil biotch ass crying about racism and all that other who-hah BS was for nothing. A. Rolle from the cardinals was on NFLN saying that this was NO BURGLARY and there where several haters after Taylor. He even went so far as to say Taylor was "scared" when he was down in Miami. This is a guy who knows him from Miami.

Im sure you will come back with some long weak ass rant but the truth is coming out. You trying to belittle others opinions and trying to make them look like racist was pretty pathetic in hindsight. Taylor was in with some bad folks. I believe he was trying to change but I can tell you from personal experience that sometimes people wont let you change. They want to hold others back and I think that was the case here.

Now be a man and admit you where wrong.

He was arrested in June 2005 on felony charges of waving a gun at people he believed had stolen his all-terrain vehicle. He later pleaded no contest to misdemeanor assault and battery. Sharpstein said Taylor was the victim and that he should not have been charged. After the plea, Ryan Lee Hill, a member of the group that Taylor had allegedly accosted, sued Taylor. In the suit, which is pending, Hill claimed Taylor hit him repeatedly in a fight and brandished a gun at him, and said he had lost wages and had medical bills because of injuries. "Totally garbage and untrue," Sharpstein said Monday of Hill's account. After the fight, Taylor, friend Michael McFarlane and a man named Charles Caughman went to McFarlane's house in West Perrine, according to court records of the incident. Soon afterward, a silver car pulled up to McFarlane's house and someone opened fire, peppering Taylor's GMC Yukon Denali with bullets. Police found 27 bullet casings outside, and at least 15 shots hit Taylor's car. No one was hit, and the shooting remains unsolved. McFarlane has since moved out of the small ranch home on Southwest 104th Avenue. The current renter on Monday showed a visitor bullet holes that remain over a front window.

Taylor's cousin, Florida State University safety Anthony Leon, said Taylor was trying to shed some troublemaking friends he had grown up with. Leon, who said he spent his morning crying and praying in his dorm room, said Taylor had "started to calm down." "He's been trying to stay away from bad company -- especially for his daughter's sake," Leon said. "Sean wasn't a bad guy at all. He's got his personality on the football field and off it. All he was trying to do was protect his family. And they shot him."

Kind of strange that Taylor hung with the wrong crowd, but his Dad was a police chief.

I think it's the same concept as preachers' kids being the wildest...

I think it's the same concept as preachers' kids being the wildest...

That's the stereotype, but generally I don't think that's necessarily the case. See Michael Redd and many others.

[MJZiggy]

I don't know that it's necessarily a stereotype as it's not attributed broadly and incorrectly, but I think the concept is that if they are gonna rebel, they have something strict to rebel against so they really do it. The ones that don't rebel, just don't.

[GrnBay007]

I guess you never know and can't predict. Look at different stories you've heard from some NFL players that Dad was in prison and Mom was a drug addict and they grew up and are living what many consider to be the American dream and very productive, law-abiding citizens. Goes to show you it's not wise to judge based on one's family. I have a friend that is a probation officer and he was a great father when his kids were growing up...always attending all the school functions, coached them in baseball, took his boys on camping/fishing trips and now when his son is a Senior in HS the kid is in all kinds of trouble. I feel bad for the guy. He feels like a failure as a father and I don't believe that's the case at all. Sometimes "the apple doesn't fall far from the tree" doesn't always apply.

If this is true that it is a former friend I hope he gets the maximum they can give him, The loss here is devastating and will affect lives for years to come if there is any truth to this his wife should move to a safe place maybe in another state. the focus should focus on protecting her and finding the killer even if there is any truth to this.

[The Leaper]

What i can't figure out is if it was a hit as rolle suggests, then why only one bullet in him. I'd think they'd tap him a few times to make sure.

Well, if it was a former friend who wanted to send a message...it was likely that they might not have been looking to flat out kill him. I wouldn't expect this to be a professional hit. I was thinking it was more like some thugs who weren't happy Taylor wanted out of their buddy system...the kind who pump 15 shots into an SUV and can't hit anything.

[The Leaper]

Yet, the police say it wasn't a targetted attack, just a burglary.

This surprises me too. How do the police know with CERTAINTY at this point either way? Do they know who did it? Do they know if that person had ties to Taylor?

It seems odd that people in charge are making pronouncements like that before they have anyone in custody.

Well, don't forget that at times the police deliberately feed mis-information to the public in order to help move the investigation along.

I went out to lunch today with one of my best friends, who is dating a guy that is very good friends with a couple of the players (Packers). The talk in the locker room is that in the past, Sean was messing around with someone's wife and this hit was to send a message, not kill him. Judging by the general area of where the bullet hit, it kind of does make sense.

Take this however you want, but I believe my friend and her bf when they told me that Bubba's exact words were "nigger sleeps with another niggers wife, nigger gets shot."

Hey Bigguns...

Your lil biotch ass crying about racism and all that other who-hah BS was for nothing. A. Rolle from the cardinals was on NFLN saying that this was NO BURGLARY and there where several haters after Taylor. He even went so far as to say Taylor was "scared" when he was down in Miami. This is a guy who knows him from Miami.

Im sure you will come back with some long weak ass rant but the truth is coming out. You trying to belittle others opinions and trying to make them look like racist was pretty pathetic in hindsight. Taylor was in with some bad folks. I believe he was trying to change but I can tell you from personal experience that sometimes people wont let you change. They want to hold others back and I think that was the case here.

Now be a man and admit you where wrong.

If you saw Rolle's interview, he said it was former "friends" that he was distancing himself from. rolle didn't say one thing about him being involved in anything nefarious.

rolle, at this point is the only one saying this. Where are the rest of the people saying this.

But, are you going to believe Rolle who hasn't been in contact with him much, by his own admission, or Ryan Clark his best friend or the po po.

My point was that let the truth come out. Why leap to judgement. And, if rolle is wrong...you are going to look like a fool for this rant.

And, as i pointed out, if it was a hit, why only one shot...that isn't what thugs who wanna take you out do. One shot hardly is a death certainty.

And, if he felt he was in danger, why would he be in miami after someone left a knife on the bed? Was the knife left there by accident? Or was it a message? If it was a message, why didn't act scared and put himself outta danger?

All i ever said, was let's wait for more information.

Well, don't forget that at times the police deliberately feed mis-information to the public in order to help move the investigation along.

I rarely have heard of misinformation..usually they withhold key information. that way they let people incriminate themselves or those that give them "private" info can be vetted.
