I thought I read there were two shots fired, one missed.

Wow. That's amazing. In this day and age, I really wouldn't have expected a gunshot wound to the leg to be fatal. That's too bad.

On another note, they still haven't caught the guy who murdered the Denver Bronco player here last year. Another surprise is that in this day and age people can still get away with murder. Hopefully, they'll catch both murderers eventually.

It wasn't to the leg -- like a shin or something. It was the femoral artery near the groin. That's like taking out a section of the Alaska Pipeline. You can bleed out very quickly.

Yeah, in the movies the hero always gets shot in the thigh and do just fine other than a little limping, but I guess they never get shot in the femoral artery.

The thigh is a shitty place to get shot, besides the femoral, the thigh bone cares some of the greatest loads/impacts of any one bone in the body. If an adult suffers a break (like a bullet hitting it) it's quite possible they'd have walking problems for life.

On this same topic, heroes get shot in the shoulder in movies too and there is both the artery that serves the arms (not small) and a large nerve bundle. There's also bones which have a good way of re-directing hand gun bullets into other stuff which doesn't like bullet holes.

The more he goes on, it's not so much a blast on Taylor as it is a rant about "The U". In particular, why do their players keep turning up dead?

Right, just guessing it would be the one guy who's been in trouble before doesn't make you a racist.

People who cry racism at every opportunity, even when it's unwarranted, advance the cause of racism. They cheapen the word so that it has less value when it really needs to be used for people who are seriously ignorant and stupid.

The Klan thanks you jettio

They just had another one get killed this year who was still an undergrad, didn't they?

Then that brawl they had with FIU or Florida Atlantic or whomever it was..

You have to wonder, why do bad things just keep happening there?

Eleazar · 11-27-2007, 12:09 PM

To speculate on the case:

We know they broke in a few days ago when no one was home, left a knife on his bed, and then left. Then yesterday they come back, cut the phone lines, and shoot him.

My guess is that they broke in with the intention of shooting him when they were there in the past couple of days but he wasn't home. The previous time(s), they may have set off the alarm, so that's why they cut the phone line this time.

Where he was shot is kind of strange. Maybe they just wanted to shoot him in the groin, to send a message? Maybe having Sean Taylor running at you with a machete makes you nervous and you're not such a good shot? If they intended to kill him, you have to think that they'd have at least fired again. That's why I think maybe this was a "send a message" thing.

If he owed someone money, for instance, they wouldn't want to kill him, they'd want him to keep living because he has the means to pay up, eventually. If they wanted something from him they wouldn't want him dead.

MOhillbilly · 11-27-2007, 12:10 PM

after Shields retired Taylor was my favorite active football player. he had the ability to change the outcome of a game and get me out of a chair yelling in a instant.
It really bothers me talking to certain people that i trust what they say how this could have been something from his past after he had taken the high road in his personal life.
weve all been young and done stoopid shit.

sucks i feel like when glenn mongomery died of als or when DT passed.
