This is such a sad and senseless tragedy!!! My thoughts and prayers go out to his friends and family members, but mostly to his 1 year old daughter Jackie, who will never get the chance to know her father… R.I.P Sean!!!

i am not a redskins fan but this is very sad and these incendents are getting old

A few weeks ago, this boy who attends my school snatched an ipod right out of this lady’s hand and ran off the bus with it. I remember saying, “Damn, your mama couldn’t buy you one?? and although that incident isn’t close to being as serious as this one is, it just goes to say that people oughta get off their asses to work for whatever it was they want. I live in South Florida and I last night on our local news, Seans father stated that he was responding to the doctors and I along with everybody else who were watching, had great hopes that he would pull through. So to wake up this morning and see the headline that he passed, really hurts my heart. Just recently i lost a friend to gun violence and its so sad when it has to come to that. No amount of money, or whatever it was the intruder was trying to steal, is worth taking someones life. As cliche as it sounds, when will all of this senseless violence end?! This is truly sad…and may God bless us all in this crazy world.

And to answer #25’s question, Lil Waynes “Prostitute” was for rapper Trina

WHEN???? When will it STOP??? Man it seems everyday I hear about someone getting killed, robbed, beat up, shot at, suffer from Racism?? This Bullshit, senseless act of behavior is SO stupid and I wish people would just THINK before they ACT! They have left a daughter with NO father, a Mother without a SON…..I just hope justice is served to whoever did this. AND if they are caught I dont want to see any tears shed in front of the judge…talkin about he didnt mean to and blah, blah, blah. This killing is outrageous and out of hand, they need to just start giving everyone that takes a Life the damn death penalty UNLESS it’s self-defense…I swear because this is SO SAD and i’m tired of it….I bet it will teach these wanna be thugs to sit their asses down and read a damn book or some shit!! R.I.P your family is in my PRAYERS!!!!!!!

When I heard this yesterday on the news, I knew he wasn’t going to make it. I prayed and will continue to pray for him and his family. There is a time to live and a time to die. Only God knows why this happen this way but there is obviously a purpose and a point he wants others to learn and see.

This is SO senseless!!! Prayers go out to his family!

Hip Hop and music has become a convenient scapegoat and a poor one at that.
The dude who shot up Va. Tech was not influenced to do that because of rap.
And as far as the violence in the streets it is more about drugs and $$$ than a hot beat or a hot rhyme. These rappers of more imitators than innovators.

I admit that some rappers are glorifying the dope game and quick $$$, — they are typically speaking on what they see in the streets, they are not speaking it into existence. It was there before rap, it was there before hip-hop.

The highest grossing movie this month, American Gangster, was about the drugs and the money, over 30 years ago, and Frank Lucas and his co-horts didn’t have a record deal, and wasn’t trying to get one.

I never heard of him, but it still is so sad to see a young man die, when he is just starting to live his dream. I hope they find who did it. May he rest in peace, my thoughts and prayers go out to his family

God didn’t have nothing to do with that.You live by it you die by it.May he rest in peace and i’ll pray 4 da’ fam.but it is what it is.no disrespect intended.

@71 and 83 thank you. Just like when the Imus ordeal happen the media was quick to attack hip hop but like Jay said Imus can not name 3 rap songs. I just want the blame placed on the individual and not the music industry.

This is absolutely sad. It’s so sad that the good die and the good die young. There are too many people out here dying innocently, and for what, someone who’s too lazy to get a job, and wants a free handout. I guess it ain’t so free after all if you’re taking someone else’s life. Well this proves to show that the person or persons involved in this child’s innocent and senseless death will have to pay, not by man, but by our Heavenly Father. Only God gives life, and he alone takes life, no human being should take the life of another. Things like this makes me sick to my stomach. For the past few weeks, there are too many senseless deaths going on here. Dr. Donda West - died for no reason. She was beautiful the way God made her, she didn’t need to do that to herself. And now we have this young man Sean Taylor, who died innocently as well. All I can say is may God’s wrath be on those person(s) who killed this young man and left his child fatherless. May God be with his family and Kanye and his family during this difficult time. May we all (viewers and readers) continue to uplift those families in need through our encouraging words, support and prayers. God Bless. RIP.

I am very sadden by this story. My prayers go out to his friends and fam. RIP

This is another sad and tragic loss…smh so sad R.I.P

RIP SEAN !!!!…

I am hurting right now. I feel like I lost a member of my family. It’s not just because I am a true Redskins fan. We have watched this young man mature right before our eyes. His daughter brought peace and calm to him and facilitated that maturity. Now she has to grow up without him. I grieve for Redskins Nation. But most of all, I grieve for little Jackie and the rest of the Taylor family. R.I.P #36, #21, Best FS in the NFL…

This is so sad. I remember reading about him getting shot and I honestly thought that he was gonna be okay. I’m so shocked. I didn’t know him because I’m not a football fan but it’s still the same. This is crazy. He was so young. RIP and I hope whatever happens comes into light. My prayers go out to him and his family.

This is such a sad day for the Metro DC area.. I will keep Sean’s family in my prayers and I pray for the person who did such a horrible crime. May god have mercy on your soul!

R.I.P May God be with his family and friends!

This has nothing to do with black or white. It has everything to do with violence and greed. I truly hope the killer is caught and justice is served. But, in the end, he/she will have to answer to a higher authority.

@66 and 71…..both of you have stated typical MALE rebuttals in response to my statement about hip hop…(I know for sure both of you are males). When you listen to the music and sing the lyrics, you might as well be out killing somebody….those devious lyrics are coming out of the beautiful mouth God gave you…and you think it’s alright to repeat the nonsense of T.I. and 50 cent. And bump it in your car, at that? Riiiiiiiight. Some rappers..not all….praise violence.

I’M A DIE HARD REDSKIN FAN. THIS LOST IS VERY TRADGIC FOR REDSKIN FANS SO I CAN’T EVEN IMAGINE HOW IT IS FOR HIS FAMILY. A HUGE VOID FOR THE REDSKIN FAMILY. A SENSELESS DEATH MAY YOU FOREVER REST IN PEACE SEAN.WE LOVE YOU BUT GOD LOVES YOU BEST.

I agree with no. 65; Sean Taylor was a dude with a track record. I’m not saying that the brother deserved death but I’m not the Most High so neither I, nor anyone else is fit to say that death or what type of death is appropriate for any man or woman. Nor is anyone fit to say that death is not deserved. Maybe he was a good brother and the Lord killed him to take him away from the evil to come (Isa 57:1). Many people are saying that they hope that the killer is found so that justice can be served. What if Sean Taylor was wicked as hell and his death was the justice (Job 4:7)? It’s all speculation. Black people confuse me. They’ll be the first ones to exclaim that “we can’t judge anybody”, but then a negro that they don’t know from Adam will get killed and just because he/she is famous, the black community puts that person in Heaven on the right hand of Christ. The Lord is no respecter of persons when it’s time to die (II Sam 14:14, Ecc 8:8, Job 7:1). Sean Taylor is is heaven based on what? Because he was rich? Because he was a professional athlete? Please.

Then black people will claim to pray for someone who’s died when we should be praying for the blacks that are still here in Satan’s world (Matt 8:21,22, Mark 12:26,27). We have no understanding whatsoever (Hos 4:6) and as long as our people disrespect the Most High, he will not hear our prayers (Psa 80:4-7, Prov 28:9, Isa 59:1-4, Jer 11:14, Mic 3:4, Zech 7:9-13) . The fact of the matter is that his death is extremely suspicious and everyone is a suspect, including that girlfriend of his. This situation makes no sense and yet at the same time it makes alot of sense. It’s obviously a hit and the murderer wanted to make a point because he left the girlfriend alive. What that point is is something that we’ll have to wait to be exposed, as all things are (Luke 12:2). Honestly; Sean Taylor’s murder at first glance, seems to be on some personal vendetta type shit. It’s a high profile case and I expect the white man to have Taylor’s killers bagged and tagged for their perp-walk photo-op within 2 weeks.

He was a drug driver and a drug dealer. No surprise that he got sniped out. This was a personal hit not a random act of violence; it’s obvious because of the details surrounding the break in several days earlier with the knife left on the bed.
***************************

wht does the knife on the bed mean?

I SMELL A RAT! SOMETHING IS SO WRONG WITH THIS STORY…..TOO MANY QUESTIONS?

FIRST, HE WAS SHOT IN HIS BEDROOM WHILE IN BED…..WASN’T HIS DOOR LOCKED, DID HE HAVE AN ALARM? HE SHOULD HAVE HEARD SOMETHING AMIST WAYY BEFORE THE PERPETRATOR GOT TO THE BEDROOM, UNLESS SOMEONE LEFT THE DOOR UNLOCKED AND DIDN’T SET THE ALARM….

SORRY, I’M A NATURAL SKEPTIC, OF COURSE, I COULD BE WRONG, BUT THERE ARE TOO MANY LOOSE ENDS TO THIS STORY. THIS SOUNDS SO SENSELESS, AND I’M TRYING TO UNDERSTAND SOME OF IT.

THE STORY IS THAT SOMEONE BROKE INTO THE HOUSE AND WENT DIRECTLY TO THE BEDROOM AND ONLY SHOT SEAN. FIRST, HOW DID THEY KNOW EXACTLY WHERE THE BEDROOM WAS? ( I BELIEVE THEY BEEN THERE BEFORE) WHY DIDN’T SEAN OR GIRLFRIEND HEAR SOMEONE COMING IN…THE HOUSE IS NOT SMALL, THEY WOULD HAVE HAD A LITTLE TIME TO PREPARE…PLUS, WHY WAS HE ONLY SHOT IN THE LEG?

MY HYPOTHESIS:

SOMEONE BROKE INTO SEAN’S HOUSE A WEEK BEFORE HE WAS SHOT….

HE PROBABLY KNEW WHO BROKE INTO HIS HOUSE (SOME OF HIS BROKE ASS CHILDHOOD FRIENDS HE STILL HANGS AROUND) AND WENT AND BEAT SOMEONE UP OR EITHER THREATENED SOMEONE…(THIS IS NOT FAR FETCHED IF YOU READ HIS BACKGROUND AND SEE THAT HE WAS SORT OF OUT THERE BEFORE AND WENT AND TWO YEARS PRIOR WENT AND THREATENED SOMEONE WITH A GUN WHO HE THOUGHT STOLE HIS TRUCK).

THE PERPS BROKE INTO THE HOUSE TO RETALIATE AND ONLY SHOT IHIM IN THE LEGS, I THINK THEY WERE TRYING TO END HIS FOOTBALL CAREER CAUSE HE’S A RUNNER, AND NOT KILL HIM (DUMMIES FORGOT PEOPLE CAN DIE FROM GUNSHOT WOUND TO LEG IF IT HITS THAT MAIN ARTERY).

I DON’T THINK THEY WANTED TO KILL HIM, AND THAT’S WHY THEY DIDN’T HURT HIS GIRLFRIEND OR BABY, CAUSE LET’S FACE IT, THESE DAYS PERPS GET IN, AND THEY KILLIN EVERYBODY.

SORRY ABOUT THE LONG HYPOTHESIS, BUT SOMETHINGS ARE SO SENSELESS THAT SOMETIMES IT HELPS ME TO TRY TO MAKE SOME SENSE OF OUT IT…..CAUSE OTHER THAN THAT, I DON’T UNDERSTAND THIS AT ALL AND IT JUST MAKES ME ANGRY….

WHATEVER THE STORY, SEAN DIDN’T DESERVE THIS….VIOLENCE IS NEVER A SOLUTION….

RIP SEAN, MY THOUGHTS ARE WITH THE FAMILY.

How can someone spit the bible and curse all in the same paragraph?????? He says to not Judge or Speculate but yet does it himself! .. People… beware of false preachers…. Remember.. THE DEVIL CAN CITE SCRIPTURE FOR HIS OWN PURPOSE!!!……

RIP…so sad

I pray for everyone who has been affected with the lost…especially to his close family and friends. And I also pray that we as human beings began to take note of what surrounds us and try to make an effort to change our environments for the better. May God be with us ALL in these times of need to give us strength and have mercy upon us.

101. WOW

How can someone spit the bible and curse all in the same paragraph?????? He says to not Judge or Speculate but yet does it himself! .. People… beware of false preachers…. Remember.. THE DEVIL CAN CITE SCRIPTURE FOR HIS OWN PURPOSE!!!……
—————————————————-

See – I though it was just me. Glad to know I wasn’t the only one who noticed that.

My heart and prayers goes out to the Taylor family, his girlfriend and especially his daughter. I mprayer that as she gets older she will know how much hwe daddy loved her and what a good man it wa before his untimely death. Sean Taylor will be missed dearly. He is now in a better place with his lord and savior where no hurt, harm or danger can come to him. R.I.P. Sean

R.I.P… no one deserves to have their life taken away by another human form.

Although I am not a football fan nor a redskins fan, I am still sadden by the death of Sean. My prayers are with his team, friends, and most importantly his family. May he R.I.P.

I’m not even going to get into all this speculation about what happened because I don’t know. There may have been some dirt done on both parts, but GOD knows what happened and HE is and always will be the true judge in the end. I heard that Sean turned his life around after he had his daughter, which for the most part, is the only thing that matters. But like one person said, your past always comes back to haunt you in one form or another. Sad story.

ThinkAboutIt said: “These young athletes are targets - they work hard at their craft, only to be faced with do nothing folks, who have no ambition, goals or morals, and live only to take away what somebody else has worked for. There have been an increase of home invasions on young black athletes - Antoine Walker, Eddy Curry, DeShawn Stevenson.”

This murder sounded more like a “gang-wars” than “home invasions” or robbery! All of these people are acquainted with each other and usually fighting over chicken-heads, drug or money! Maybe the term “home invasion” can apply, but not in the random sense. I hardly believe DeShawn was fast asleep during his ordeal!!

These types of incidents should make parents feel relieved that their son or daughter didn’t make it into the big leagues! Young athletes become targets when they flash the cash and try to run with the Big Dawgs. The strip clubs, night-life and bars belong to the thugs! A young man with million$ need to avoid the underground! You don’t see this $#!T happening to young women athletes, because they have common sense to avoid trouble or they only get into cat fights!!

Don’t label them as victims or targets until you know all the facts! And, the majority of cases like Sean’s and DeShawn’s are not random, but attitudes and disrespect among acquaintences! Most of them don’t have to work hard at their craft to make into the Pros! The athleticism for black men is a gift from God and all we do is use what He gave us! Competing and winning comes easy for most of us! Much easier than going to College to get some knowledge!

So, we fall further behind!!!

#96 I am fortunately a female. What i’m saying is just because I listen to rap does not make me a violent criminal. I am far from that. As a matter of fact I have a high position in the corporate world. The excuse lies on us, not the rap music. I am a mother of 3 teenage boys, 19, 17 and 15 who also listen to rap and yes I allow them to listen to it. Why shield them from it when they are going to hear it out in the street or from family and friends anyway. But not once have i been to school for my child/children being disruptive or have any on them being suspended from school or accused of disrespecting authority or anyone for that matter. My son is a freshman at an HBCU and doing quite well I might add. My other son is a senior and participates in various activities at shcool and the other is a freshman in high shcool and plays various sports.I give all the Glory to GOD for the way that they are. but it is also because every since they were little i taught them Morals and Values of respecting themselves and more importantly others and the Value you of life. I always to them the are not the giver of life so they have no right to take it away except in the case of self defense. So yes, at the end of the day it all comes down to home training. You can never say what your child will or want do but it starts from the home.

Meat -
You’re right, they may not be random, because people know who they are, what they have and where and how they live. The DeShawn Stevenson case suggest that he invited some woman from the club over, so no he wasn’t asleep. But the point is, if they didn’t have the $$$, they wouldn’t be getting robbed, and because they are high profile and because they are still hanging out and dealing with some folk that mean no good they do make themselves more vunerable.

They could protect themselves by making better choices, no doubt, but that doesn’t change the fact that somebody is taking from them what is their’s - their money, their jewels - Their Life.

Wow itz a sad case, may he rest in peace.

@96 I am a female so that is wrong. I can’t speak for everyone but me and music not just rap does not effect me. You know how raunchy r&b is but yet I have no kids. I am just saying people need to take responsibilty of their own actions. A young man lost his life and it wasn’t music that killed him.

#96 if you re-read my comment that is exaclty what im saying. Take responsibility for your own actions. I said listening to rap music does not make me want to kill, steal or destroy. Enough said on the matter.

I meant #112 please re-read my original comment

@101 & 104

What are ya’ll, two of those women in the church that want to usurp the authority of a man, lmao. The topic is Sean Taylor but you’re talking about a curse word that I used at the end of two paragraphs. Instead of worrying about that, you should be more concerned with your woeful reading comprehension skills. I didn’t say to not judge, I said that black people say to not judge. Read it again and let it marinate, lol. In regards to cursing, it’s a bad habit but many men of the Lord used foul language, but most of you church people are stuck on the frosting instead of the cake (Isa 6:5, II Cor 11:6)

“Sean was awakened with his girlfriend and 18-month old baby,” Sharpstein said. There were “noises, thumps in the living room.” Taylor “got up and locked the bedroom door. Before he could do anything, the door was kicked in and two shots were fired — one hit him in the leg, one went into the wall.”

Taylor “was on the floor, non-responsive, bleeding out and chest heaving, eyes rolled back and he was pretty much gone from that point on,” Sharpstein said.

Taylor’s girlfriend “tried to call 911 and it’s unclear whether the phone lines were cut or the phone was broken or off or unplugged or turned off,” said Sharpstein. “She had to use her cell phone to eventually call 911.”

“Whether this was a purposeful action in taking Sean’s life or in shooting him or whether it was a burglary gone awry, the police are still investigating those circumstances,” Sharpstein said.

The attorney said Taylor was home unexpectedly due to an injury, and “no one expected him there.”

“I think he was surprised or they were surprised to find him there,” Sharpstein said.

Lt. Nancy Perez with the Miami-Dade Police Department said investigators were looking for an “unknown suspect.”

Taylor’s home also was reported broken into eight days earlier on November 18, according to Miami-Dade police.

During that incident, someone forced open a window and left a kitchen knife on a bed, according to the police report. Several drawers and a bedroom safe had been searched during the break-in, the report said.

No one knows whether the first invasion is related to Monday’s attack, Sharpstein said. “It is a high probability that it was the same people or some related people that returned.”

According to the police report, Taylor’s mother reported the break-in, saying it occurred while the house was empty. Police found a window pried open, but could not confirm if anything was missing.

Observers searching for a motive for his killing put Taylor’s police record under renewed scrutiny. In 2005, he was arrested after he was accused of waving a gun at people he believed were stealing his all-terrain vehicles, according to Sharpstein.

“He got into fisticuffs, but no gun,” Sharpstein said.

After originally being charged with aggravated assault, Taylor pleaded to a misdemeanor battery in the case, Sharpstein said. A civil suit stemming from the case remains open. “There’s still a lot of open ends to that,” he said.

Thinkaboutit -

They don’t get robbed because they have the money…! I believe they get robbed because they flash it and they enter into bad relationships with leaches and thugs! Most of these “Pro” night-lifers hit the strip clubs and hire prostitutes as soon as the game is over. Only Kobe tried to take his from the hotel staff!

How do you take money from someone who has their money in the bank? How can you take jewels from someone who can afford a home safe? I think these men are vunerable by choice! They get robbed and disrespected when the flash and use people!

The “enemy” comes to kill and destroy like a theif in the night! That’s his job! There are men and women who get to be rich by taking wealth from the simple-minded and weak! Selena was killed by her assistant, Yolanda Saldivar who thought Selena owed her something! Too many crazy people out there!

Nothing is sadder than a young person’s life getting cut short, but power and fame ain’t nothing to play with!! DeShawn was raised by a single mom! His story is a one in a million! His father has watched everyone of his games from a cell! He started his career with a rape charge on a minor! He just don’t get it!!!

Again, young athletes have the wealth of an old man, but the mind and understanding of youngsters! Money and immaturity don’t mix! It took Michael Jordan a lifetime to learn his lessons and he still lost his father, gambled off millions and now divorced! I consider him a wise man with his wealth, but I don’t wish his troubles on anyone!

There’s more to these stories than we’ll ever know!

My prayers goes out to his family and any family stricken with death of a loved one. I don’t watch football nor did I know the victim, but after reading the story I think there should be a serious investigation going on because this story does not add up. I don’t think they meant to kill him at all, so this may be more personal than anything. I would even consider questioning the girlfriend again because honestly you can’t put anything pass people these days.

You make some excellent points.

i hope everyone will be alright and bless him.. may he rest in peace. lUV U SEAN

I heard this yesterday and I don’t understand how someone can be so fucking bold and so fucking heartless as so go into another man’s (who actually worked for his success) house and shoot him infront of his child. I don’t think I ever will but my heart goes out to the family and I pray they get the fucking bastards who did this. They deserve to rot in the depths of hell after they serve their whole pointless lives in a prison cell.

Thinkabouit -

It’s just unfortunate that the police and media have to call it “home invasion” and “robbery” when no one is willing to press charges or give eye witness testimony!

Makes it seem so random and senseless when if fact, these young men are making their own beds hard! Micheal Vick, Ray Carruth and Kobe lost millions because of bad decisions and associates!! And now, we lose a life!

Girlfriends, baby mammas, ex, fiance’, automatic weapons with silencers, bling-bling, clubing till 6 in the morn, after parties at the mansion, running with my boys…it just goes on and on and on and on like Erykah Badu said:

Oh on & on & on & on
My cipher keeps movin like a rollin stone
On & on & on & on
All right the voltures swarm
I go on & on & on & on
My cipher keeps movin like a rollin stone
Oh on & on & on & on
Mad props to the God ja born

Oh what a day, what a day, what a day!

As a D.C. native, I must say that a part of the city died with you Sean - may you rest in peace

Blessings and comfort to the Taylor family

So sad….People need to think before they act. This was an unnecessary tragedy. May he rest in peace and bless his family in their time of need.

first of all, you don’t know what youre talking about, because you are misconscrewed. basically screwed. in the head and out of the game. Yes I know the subject was about Mr. Taylor, but you placed yourself in his thought position and became the subject. Youre using a race card as well and your identity should be checked. Yes a man of God sometimes slip but it states in the bible if you can control the tongue you can control the whole body. So if your reading and getting an interpetation of what is being said then get the understanding of what the bible is telling you at hand. YOU ARE NOT TO JUDGE….let him who is without sin cast the first stone…….

REST IN PEACE SEAN TAYLOR #21…I STILL CANT BELIEVE…Its a loss not only to the family but to all of us Redskins fans especially to those who have followed his great career…

@113 I read ur comments and we have the same views. I agree with u 100 % as well. Music does not kill people, people kill people.

RIP SEAN

MY PRAYS ARE WITH HIS FAMILY AND FRIENDS AND HOPE THEY FIND THE PERSON OR PEOPLE WHO DID THIS

Another untimely death. People foreal we need to get it together. R.I.P.

THIS HAS TRULY BEEN ON MY MIND ALL DAY. SEAN TAYLOR WAS SUCH A GREAT FOOTBALL PLAYER. ALTHOUGH IT WAS A HOME INVASION, I SWEAR I THINK THAT THIS WAS THE WORK OF A HIT MAN OR A FORMER FRIEND, ONLY BECAUSE OF THE PAST ATTEMPTED ROBBERY AT THE SAME ADDDRESS. I REALLY WISH HE HAD SECURTY AT THAT HOME. ONLY GOD KNOWS. HE WAS A VICTIM OF THIS SICK ASS SOCIETY THAT IS TAKING ALL OF OUR SUCCESSFUL BROTHERS AS WELLAS OUR BROTHERS WITH POTENTIAL. MY HEART GOES OUT TO HIS FAMILY, FIANCE’ AND BABY-GIRL JACKIE (WHOM HE LOVED SO MUCH). SEAN WAS A TRUE REDSKIN THAT ADDED CLASS AND LOT OF LUV TO HIS FRIENDS AND FANS IN THE DC/MD/VA AREA. YOU WILL BE MISSED…..RIP SEAN-2007.

On November 26, 2007, at 1:45 AM., Taylor was shot in the upper leg by an armed intruder at his Palmetto Bay home, critically wounding him by severing his femoral artery. His girlfriend tried to call police from the house line, only to discover the line had been cut, and proceeded to call 911 from her cell phone, which delayed response time.

definitely does not sound random or like a burglary. sounds like he was targeted.
second NFL player to be shot and killed this year.
both my niece and nephew have had murders on their college campuses.
at least two college athletes include one in miami also killed at school.
people what the fuck????

My thoughts and prayers are with his family. Rest In Peace Mr. Sean Taylor…He is from my hometown, Miami and the local news stations are really focusing on his death however supposedly detectives don’t have the intruder in custody. Its really sad and unexpected because last night his father held a press conference at jackson and he was saying that taylor was responsive so everyone was optimistic about a speedy recovery, i know i was. its the fact that the bullet hit a major femoral artery so his blood wasnt receiving enough oxygen so thats when organs begin to fail.

and it is reported that someone had burglarized his home either 8 days ago or on nov.17 so this act may very well be correlated.

rest in peace sean your #1 fan

such a shame. he was far too young to die.

This is too sad…it’s truly sad when you live your life tryin to stay away from that stuff especially the violence and it finds you anyway. R.I.P. and my condolences go out to your family.

R.I.P. Sean Taylor god bless

Whatever the circumstances may be surrounding this talented man’s death, lets remember that his life was cut short and now a baby girl has no father. It depresses me to see another black man killed violently and yet people assumes that he was a drug dealer and blah blah. As a football fan this hurts me to my soul because he was the third or fourth (correct me if I’m wrong) nfler to die within a year and it saddens me. Thats all I have to say.

~Ahsatar

OMG that is so damn shocking….why the hell does there have to be violence and shootings I dont get it??! And in his own home…damn that is clearly messed up smh..

Rest In Peace Sean Taylor..

@125

Once again sis, the topic is Sean Taylor, not me. Do you have anything pertinent to say on his murder? I’m not going to go back and forth with you because honestly, you obviously don’t have anything to say and you gravitated to my comment because you’re perplexed that there are still black people that can analyze a serious situation without saying, “That’s so sad…”, or “Wow!”, lol. Let’s keep it real though, you’ve been reading my comments for awhile, getting vexed more and more, and you couldn’t hold it in any longer. Lol. You’re going to continue to only agitate yourself because I’m a man and I speak how a man is supposed to speak, not like those effeminate negroes in your church (if you’re even black). The scriptures speak on the tongue and it also speaks on how a woman should dress and conduct herself. Do you follow those precepts or was that for “back then”, lol?

You want my identity? Why? If you want a picture just ask, lol. If you want to be taught, give me your email and stop being rebellious. That “the devil quotes scripture” nonsense is getting so tired and it’s something that bible-thumpers say when they run into someone who really knows what they’re talking about (Matt 12:24-27). One of the main reasons why these black men continue to kill each other is because there are so few real black men that stand for anything and so many sisters that try to strongarm black men because the white man has their back. It’s sad.

meat….you’re talking about deshawn stevenson, not sean taylor…..

no matter what eventually transpires, this is the loss of yet another young black man……in the prime of his life and career. sean taylor and everyone else’s family, freinds and associates who’ve had to suffer through this kind of senseless crime….my heart goes out to you.

this year in particular, there are many, many, many sean taylors….and that is the saddest part.

This is so sad……..this happened right in my neck of the woods. My prayers go out to his family…….life is to short……………..

———————————————————————————————————————-

It depresses all of us to know that Sean’s life has been cut short, but the circumstances surrounding his murder suggest that is was “blah blah” and not a home invasion! Rarely do these things happen randomly! Sean’s legs were his bread and butter and someone tried to end his career, but what they didn’t intend to do was commit murder! And, the motive for such a crime is never about robbery! Thevies want to take your stuff and make clean get aways! They never want to use violence or force. Only someone with a evil vendeta or ulterior motive would stoop so low!

It doesn’t tarnish is image for those who knew and loved him! It only serves as a warning to other pro athletes that it’s time to live up to the blessings they receive! To those who much is given…much is required! If you are blessed to make millions, you can’t keep hanging out in the hood and kickin it with “DoRay” nem! Stay on a different level!

It’s no secret that a majority of the pro athletes, get high, get drunk, use steriods, gamble heavy, strip club experts, and they squeeze on as many shorties as they can! That lifestyle is very common for black and white pros!

Sometimes they get in too deep!

Now, we can close our eyes and pretend that this was a random invasion, but the clearer message can be used to help someone like Labron James or Dwight Howard or Randy Moss! Even though Kobe was aquitted, his rape case sent a clear message to all Pros that they are not above the law!

phone lines cut…killer kicks the door in and fires two shots…it doesnt sound like a home invasion or robbery to me.

I dont follow fb but I was shocked when I heard that he didnt make it. Such a horrible waste of life.

You can chase money all your life, get it and die the next day. He earned his but there’s millions of folks out there hustlin’ in unrighteous ways for paper, forsaking family and their own souls-you think this will make them think twice?

am I the only one that thinks this story is too fabricated??

I think they need to look within the home to find out what really happened because this makes little sense to me.

I was having a friendly exchange with #33 Thinkaboutit! She said that: “There have been an increase of home invasions on young black athletes - Antoine Walker, Eddy Curry, DeShawn Stevenson.”

I just told her that a home invasion or robbery has the implication of a “burglary gone awry!” And, in both incidents nothing was stolen! Only a life! So, in response to her comment above, I was talking about Deshawn, Sean and Diddy too, if he says someone came into his home to take his jewelry!

Sorry, if we strayed to far from your center!

Same ole, same ole.

RIP Sean.
