Even if Taylor had been an asshole in his past, and a dirty player in his career, it doesn't mean he was doing anything wrong at this time. It sounds like he was doing alot better and trying to be a responsible family guy. People can change.

Regardless, if he's in his home which had been broken into recently, it makes perfect sense that he might have something to protect his family with.(especially if he didn't have a gun due to previous infractions).

He wasn't in a strip club, he wasn't in the hood at a party, he wasn't in a seedy part of town, he wasn't in a club with a bad element.....the man was in his bed, with his woman and child.

Its a shitty thing that this guy is dead. I hope his family finds peace, and the police find all of the guilty.

I was there in June, and aside from the area immediately around my hotel downtown (well, not really even there) and the beach, I would have rather not been walking around after dark.

Just wondering, did they ever catch the person(s) who killed Darrent Williams?

It just feels like to me that they aren't going to be able to find out who did this...

You're not going to get any disagreement from anyone who remembers #58.

So it was the same situation with him?

Did he bleed to death?

HMc · 11-27-2007, 08:27 PM

there was a number of days between DT's crash and his death. He was sitting up in bed and talking to people, i believe.

Seems like a bloodclot dislodged and clogged an artery or went to his brain, or something like that, that actually killed him. Sad times.

Imagine if he was on the Chiefs in 04-05. Vermeil would need a beach towel to dry his tears.

C-Mac · 11-27-2007, 09:06 PM

I dont know if these interesting facts to the murder of Taylor have already been posted, but anyway....
-Eight days ago someone broke in the house and a knife was left on the bed, nothing was taken or stolen.
-On the day of the shooting the murderer did not take anything from the house.
-Taylor was shot in the crotch area.
-The day of the shooting the phone lines were cut causing more delay than normal for his fiancee to contact much needed help.

Personally I wonder if it was perhaps a jealous provoked murder concerning his fiancee.

Bob Dole was referring to the reports of improvement, only to get slapped in the face with his death.

Pulmonary embolism. Deadly as hell and nearly impossible to prevent unless you are massive amounts of blood thinners like Heparin or Coumadin. Of course if you nearly just bled out, it is highly unlikely you'd be on those.

Oh....if Taylor had chopped up a home intruder....I'd have thought he was well within his rights to protect his family. Unlike Mcann, Jettio and co, I think he had that right.

Its really unfortunate that the home owner got the worst end in this situation. Anyone should be safe while sleeping in their own home.

My condolences to his family. In this situation, it is a tragedy that the child no longer has a productive father in his life.

I hope they catch the guilty and they ride the lightening.

Only a gutless chickensh*t would intentionally misrepresent like this.

I misrepresented nothing.

You must do drugs or something if you make up lies in order to misrepesent what someone else has posted, and then think you can pretend to be so stupid not to realize that you have intentionally misrepresented what someone has posted.

Maybe you are too stupid to understand, but nobody in Chiefs planet history has ever posted anything suggesting that someone is not allowed to defend themselves against the threat of deadly force, especially in their own home.

You know that nobody has posted that, yet you being the gutless chickensh*t that you are, want to keep pretending.

If you are not doing drugs, you ought to go back to school or join the marines or something. You are way behind on intellect and honor.

That's what got my father. He was at the doctor's office, of all places, felt dizzy, sat down, then they had him put his legs up and then he died.

A big issue in journalism and questioned by their peers, is that sports journalism is more likely to include opinion and speculation in most of their articles. Columnists are opinionated by nature, but nearly all sports columns contain no source of reporting as the basis for their speculation, exaggeration and opinion.

Journalists work under the codes of ethics by their employer. Therefore, I was surprised and disappointed two Washington Post sports columnists, Leonard Shapiro and Michael Wilbon, have used free speech and freedom of the press, to strongly believing that Sean Taylor being murdered in his bedroom got what he deserved.

Here is article that has crossed over into national news stories

Taylor's Death is Tragic But Not Surprising by Leonard Shaprio, November 27, 2007 Washington Post

This is a terrible tragedy. My thoughts and prayers are with Sean Taylor's family.
