Heavens Safety 21 Posted December 10, 2007 Share Posted December 10, 2007 Its very sad that his kind gestures led to his untimely death. Still very hard to believe he is gone. RIP ST!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jabronijames Posted December 10, 2007 Share Posted December 10, 2007 I think this article stinks. Yes, it's supposed to be moving and telling of exactly the kind of guy that Sean was, but underneath all of that, it's saying that Sean Taylor was killed because he was such a nice, naive guy. Look, guys...The reason Sean Taylor is dead right now is because some thugs broke in to his house and shot him. That's it. He's not dead because he was so nice. He is dead because of the actions of some evil men. These men are scum and they killed a decent human being for no gain whatsoever. In short, this article is just doing the same thing that the WP columnist did. It's putting the blame of the murder on the victim. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jahbird Posted December 10, 2007 Share Posted December 10, 2007 What a miserable waste...I cannot find anything else to say about this entire situation. What a damn shame. I think most skins fans suspected sean was really a good guy, we never fully knew cause he never trusted the media...now we know but can only celebrate his good qualities in memoriam. Hopefully his family can reconcile their obvious beefs to have something positive come from sean's death, especially in relation to his sister's unborn baby who was fathered by a relative of the Wardlow kid.

Hail_Skinz Posted December 10, 2007 Share Posted December 10, 2007 Did I read this correctly? ST's half-sister is pregnant with one of the killer's brothers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moondog Posted December 10, 2007 Share Posted December 10, 2007 This article points out, again, that these guys knew him, at least in a sense that they knew who he was. They knew where he lived, knew it was his house, and had met him before. And yet, they say it was unpremeditated murder and just a burglary gone wrong despite the fact that these men went in, took nothing, went straight to his room with a gun, and shot him? I just don't buy that. I'm in tears everytime i read another article or see another video about him, and I just don't believe those men didn't set out to physically harm him.

#98QBKiller Posted December 10, 2007 Share Posted December 10, 2007 The more I learn about Taylor the more I miss having him on this team. He sounded like such a great guy. I noticed in the article that one of the punks relatives was dating Taylor's half-sister and that she is pregnant. Good god. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kuraitengai Posted December 10, 2007 Share Posted December 10, 2007 i thought that it was the brother of one of the four guys who was dating his half-sister. not one of the four who broke in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moondog, I am not excusing what the ****s did but they didn't think anyone would be home. Sean wouldn't have normally been home and the article said that Jackie and his daughter Jackie usually stayed at her parents house. This article does make me very angry because it points how the media grossly mischaracterized Sean intially. I mean the true mark of a nice person is they do things whether they get recognized for it or not. Sean was doing all these great things, taking care of his family, forgiving his mother, taking care of his family, etc. He could have been on TV shouting from the rooftops about all things he was doing, but he didn't. He did these things because it was in his heart and it makes me that more upset that his life was taken by a group of thugs that tried to steal from instead of earning their own way. :mad: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
