NFL Star Taylor Dies After Gunshot

136. Hey Don, you sanctimonious prig. Given that the UK has a total Black population of 1.2 million or 2.2% of the population, you are hardly in a position to judge the impact that the thug culture has on life in the US. Would you like to discuss the impact of the mass migration of Muslims that you've allowed into the UK? That would be a cheery topic.

I dont care what color the culture, if it is anit-social, devoid of respectable cultural and moral values and perpetuates crime and lawlessness, that is a culture that needs to be called on it. I don't recall White Europeans ever getting a pass for their collective behavior. Neither should any other group.

It's a good thing to hold a mirror up to yourself- and your culture- if need be every so often. That is the only way you can see the warts, blemishes and melonomas that need to be dealt with. Not all of us care to live in your irrelevent world of political correctness.

138. Who said I was Black? You assumed my race and boy are you wrong. And wow are you saying Blacks promote criminal activity? Because the way your speech sounded it seems like it. And you have a nerve saying that if that is what you meant because we all know who the first violent people of America are. And you need to hold a mirror to your own race because one that judges others should be the perfect example and boy no race can say they are that because all have done wrong. So thanks for the little speech but umm we all have our problems so please do not act like the race you come from is perfect because I can prove you with many examples otherwise.

139. Just wanted to say my condolences to his family, his girlfriend and his baby girl. No matter how he lived his life in the past he did NOT, I REPEAT NOT deserve to be gunned down in his home with his girlfriend there and baby girl in the next freakin room. So sad the way our society downplays the senseless death of another human being because of mistakes he made in his past. I will keep his family in my prayers and I pray they do find the coward who did this to him. R.I.P Sean

140. Statistically, the #1 cause of death across our country for the Black man under the age of 30, is homicide. It does not matter if you are rich or poor. And those who have taken a life, served time in jail, and have been released, are considered a very high risk to kill again.

It is time for our country to quit having sympathy for criminals and murderers and our violent world can and will become the peaceful country it was intended to be. If you kill and get caught once. you should not be released before your 65th Birthday. Our country is too soft and because we don't jail our criminals, many innocent people die. Mr. Taylor may not have been very innocent, but he didn't deserve to die. Now all he is, is another statistic of Black men 30 and younger.

141. My thoughts and prayers are with his family. There is just to much senseless violence in the world today we all risk our lives driving to work . The man was in his home with his family not out doing anything wrong, and his house broken into 2 times in a week and nothing taken" except his life". I hope the number 21 is wore by all players for the rest of the season.

Don't be DETERRED you are right on the money

I feel sad, and this a tragedy

BUT

AM SURE SEAN WOULD WANT US TO LEARN FROM HIS MISTAKES.

Let's use this FOR POSITIVE CHANGE.

Am trying to hold back and wait for more details, but anyone can see this was more of a hit.

Nothing was taken from his home, and he was the only one shot. That doesn't sound like a ROBBERY, the person was SO BOLD, they didn't even take the time to MAKE IT LOOK LIKE A ROBBERY.

RIP

143.
Tonight On CNN Nancy Grace had a guest host who was phone interviewing a detective who is from the town where this murder took place in Florida.
He was trying to tell her the rumor has been going around about the knife left on the bed during the previous break in did not happen but she cut him off!
She didn't want him to say that! why? if it is not true and is only a rumor lets hear it!

144. To #67, this isn't the time or place for this discussion (though you DO raise some valid points). At this point, who cares if he brought it on himself. That's another topic for another time.

Again, you actually do make some great points. Still, now isn't the time for it.

145. Yesterday Florida law enforcement said this was being investigated as a "possible armed robbery" . Some reports also called it a "possible burglary." By definition it was a burglary because his home was intruded upon, and clearly it was armed. I want to see this case investigated aggressively and solved. It was cruel and heartless to murder this young man in his abode with his girlfriend (some reports upgraded her to "fiancee") and young daughter right there. There had been an earlier home break-in and disputes over stolen/missing vehicles. This crime doesn't appear on the surface to have been random. Let's hope that someone starts talking. Rest in peace, Mr. Sean Taylor. May the police's efforts lead to the apprehension of the killer(s).

146. Don, evidently your reading comprehension is as poor as your social analysis. I said, I think you're a lilly white guilt ridden limosine liberal or in this case the Euro version thereof. I also stated you know nothing about the impact of African American culture on either blacks or whites in the US because you dont even have enough in your culture to merit an opinion.

My heart breaks for this guy. It is the fact that yet another talented black man gets mowed down in his own home that is so astounding. We all have a suspicion that the cause has something to do with his past thug life or some sort of "warning" that was sent to him due to his past or present associations. Or just a warning, "dont get too far from your roots, 'bro." This strikes me as yet another black on black crime.

Did they mean to kill him? I dont know. But if you think that black culture doesnt need to hold a mirror to itself (just as all of our cultures have been forced to do) you are out of your mind. In fact, worse, you jepordize yet another black person because of your patronizing, ridiculous infantilization of the black race. Maybe you can't take it but they can and they should. No, they must.

148. I watched Sean Taylor play when he was at Miami, not only was he a great player but he was a devoted father who died protecting his family. Sean will be missed by everyone and my prayers go out to his family!

149. Oh please in that little paragraph were you trying to seem sincere? Anyway do not care.

R.I.P Sean. And I will pray for your family to make it through this.

150. Sounds like someone was playing around with someone elses girl. Dude broke in and left aknife on his pillow, then comes back later the next week kicks the door down and takes two shots at his balls (not upper leg), no robbery, nothing was taken. Dude was down with OPP!
