137. Also, Brady, if Sean Taylor had a gun, instead of the machete he had enough time to grab, he might be alive today.

138. lol, Brady. You're cool, I'm just sayin' I don't agree with you on the gun control thing. I can disagree with peoples' opinions and still not hate them. I'm not a republican :-P

139. No Problem Fight! Just playing a little devil's advocate. I believe in the 2nd Amendment, we should be able to Protect ourselves, Your right! If he had a Gun, he might be alive today, I'm an Independent, I vote for who I think will do the best Job. Have a Great Sunday :)

140. It is very sad indeed that this young man who was trying to better his life is taken out by a bunch of thugs--who cares what color anyone is. There are some bleeding hearts out there who will say that the 4 burglers/murderers were only trying to take care of themselves because their childhood was so heinous blah blah blah..but until people are held responsible/accountable for their actions and are not permitted to blame everyone else, this type of horror will continue to happen. We are so PC as a society and enabling because no one wants to speak the cold hard truth. As a nurse I see women of all colors who have FREE access to healthcare and any birth control they want continue to have MULTIPLE children they can't/won't take care of. Some of these poor, neglected kids grow up to be burglers/murderers and we can do little to
stop it. Wake up people, color is not the problem, it is the behavior and lack of consequences that we all allow. It is time to take a stand for all the law abiding people of this country, those working hard, not murdering and stealing to take care of their families. Those that play the race card can go to hell or better yet, stop contributing to the problem but be part of the solution,

141. Comments to recent posts:

Sean didn't have a gun cuz he wasn't allowed to carry one becuz of his plea agreement for trying to kill the guy who he claimed stole his ATV.

He got a pass on the DUI - and never should have - if he'd been convicted he could have gotten counseling - Fairfax County Judge and DA failed him - they should have made him go to counseling.

He didn't grow up "middle class" = his mom was on welfare and had 4 or 5 kids by 3 different fathers - he lived with her some years and his police father some years - two distinct worlds - held on to both, including friends from both worlds.

Provided in life for his mom and his step sister (whose boyfriends relative's and friends killed her brother) and his stepbrother - and bought the house for them, but was totally irresponsible in

not providing for his son and mother of his child - never married her or bought a house for her and/or his son - so they're out of the house - his murdering sister and mother will get it. Sorry commentary on who he cared for! Never protected his son's assets or his son's mothers. Didn't even marry her after 6 years.

Becuz he never married her - he was just another irresponsible father who cared more for his druggie mom and half-sister and brother than for his own child - how sick!

So now his wife and child will be kicked out the house

142. Blue -

His baby is his heir, and will be fine ... even if somehow the mother and baby get nothing of Sean's money (which won't happen), I'm sure her uncle can take care of her. I never officially married my husband before he died, but there are common law marriages.

As for him getting passes from the police, that's something you need to take up with the police.

And I don't care what kind of father you think he was (it sounds like you must have known him very well). I know that he had his girlfriend and baby in a house with him ... a house nice enough, with nice enough stuff, to make people want to rob him. It sounds like no matter what he had done in the past, he was coming around.

I'd like to know ... what is your goal, what's constructive about anything you've said? Why are you trashing a dead man? You can't think of any one better (perhaps someone alive) to pick on?

143. lol woldort. Jigaboo IS old. Someone referred to me as one, and I had o clue what he was talking about. Even when my grandma explained it to me I couldn't be offended, it just sounds so silly. And some British guy called me a "nig-nog", and I couldn't be offended by that one either.

I'm probably not the best black person to tell you though. I understand why people get offended by words, but I can't be offended by them easily. I love language, and various uses of it. I was happy that guy called me a jigaboo, just because I learned something new. I think it's all in how you use them. If a friend that I knew wasn't racist told me some jigaboos robbed him, I would just write it off as "poetic license".

Use whatever words you want, but don't treat me like I'm less than human because of my skin color. Ya dig?

144. WTF??? They came to rob his house, and they brought guns. That's not premeditated??? Doesn't Florida allow felony murder charges?? Burn their asses.

145. RaraAvis - I'm pretty certain that all murder charges are felonies.

Some people take guns to robberies thinking they can just intimidate people out of their belongings (like with woldort). That doesn't mean they planned to kill anyone. I still believe they should have the book thrown at them, but you can't say they planned to hurt anyone. As their law stands, if you didn't go their with the intent to kill, it's not 1st degree. As for them going to an empty home with guns, maybe they just always carry guns?

In this situation I believe they should be charged with 1st degree murder, but that doesn't work out with their laws. As soon as 4 black guys kill a rich white guy I'm sure the laws will change. Be patient.

146. Still waiting for someone to step-up to the plate, besides Bill Cosby, and get some things straight in these un-educated poverty stricken neighborhoods.

The blame is only within ourselves.
Keep waiting for Uncle Sams 30-day notice, you will always be poor and continue killing eachother.

How many wake-up calls do you need?

This man did not have to die over what HE worked hard to achieve.

147. Anyone else think these men's children (if they have any, and let's be real, the youngest was 17, its almost a gaurantee they do) will grow up and do the same thing? I mean, they sure do look like upstanding citizens, so can you imagine the type of females they got to sleep with them, that are now raising thuglets?
They didn't plan to murder him? Well, correct me if I'm worng, but the phone lines were cut. They certainly weren't going to allow anyone to call for help, or get out alive since they busted down the bedroom door he locked to keep his family safe.

148. Just another move for this country to become a third world country. And these guys were not poor, please get off the poor crap!! Hell, they were looking for anything they could buy drugs with!! I'm poor, and can barely pay my bills, hanging them should be brought back, as it is permanent and there is nothing humane about hanging a person, and that's what these thugs deserve!!
