I know it's hard for some people to disassociate from their preconceived notions that bad things can happen to shitty people at times, but, such is life.

But he was arrested once. Innocent people don't get robbed.

The burglar either has really bad, or really good aim.

TAYLOR "CLINGING TO LIFE" by Michael David Smith

Jason La Canfora of the Washington Post reports that Sean Taylor's lawyer describes the Redskins safety as "clinging to life" after losing massive amounts of blood when he was shot early this morning.

Per the report, attorney Richard Sharpstein, speaking from Miami's Jackson Memorial Hospital, said Taylor is "nonresponsive and unconscious" and the doctors are "worried about a possible brain injury or death."

Sharpstein described Taylor's family and doctors as worrying that Taylor may have lost oxygen to the brain as a result of blood loss from being shot in the femoral artery in the thigh.

"They're waiting to see if he comes to," Sharpstein said. "Right now he's clinging to life and we're all praying he makes it."

A week before Washington Redskins player Sean Taylor was shot in his Palmetto Bay house, a burglar broke in, rifled through his things, and left a knife on a bed inside his house, according to police records.

Eight days later, noises in the dark spooked Taylor and his girlfriend. It turned out to be their worst nightmare.

At least one armed intruder had broken into the $900,000 Palmetto Bay house of the star NFL player and were at his bedroom door. Taylor rose from bed to investigate. Just outside his bedroom, he was shot in the groin and critically wounded. He collapsed back into the room, where he breathed heavily as blood gushed from his wound, according to Taylor's lawyer and family friend, Richard Sharpstein.

Thats a shitty deal all around.

Its really too bad this story isn't about a dead burglar being removed from his home.

**dirk digler** · 11-26-2007, 02:40 PM

Sad story indeed.

That was my first thought. Especially after somebody had already broke in a few days ago.

I'd go for a wounded and bleeding-out burglar being airlifted from his home, but I'm essentially with you.

Man this sucks. he may have trouble coming back from this. Money can afford great surgeons however, as can the Redskins franchise, personally I just hope he is able to walk with both legs and retain all mental abilities. I have a friend whose little brother wrecked the 4-wheeler and ran the handlebar through his thigh and ruptured his femoral artery. He was pretty young, maybe 9 or 10. He was about dead when they got him to the hospital (turned blue). It has a happy ending however, they repaired it and now he has no troubles and plays all sports (very well). So lets all hope the same happens here.

Also, how long till the idiot who shot him brags about it and gets caught/shot?

Best of Wishes to the Taylor family.

Is it possible that Mr. Taylor was dating Deidra Lane?

I had a class with him where we went to school with him (Lane College).
He was cool peeps.

Obnoxious, but what star athlete at any school isn't?
