Sad day for Redskins fans today. One of their "star" safeties was murdered yesterday by a home invasion. Fortunately, his baby and girlfriend were spared (they were in the house with him). I have no feeling either way other than it's awful to have happened and my prayers are for his family and friends who have to pick up the pieces from this nastiness.
I find it strange that a lot of folks are jumping in either to cut down Sean Taylor or give him a medal. It's a big story, given the almost god-like status that the Redskins get in this town (I've lived here for 15 years in DC and I still find the Redskins mania to be utter nonsense). What's unfortunate is that it's going to get constant coverage, I mean, it's going to get over-played, over-discussed and dissected, and worn out fast.
The guy was injured, something with his knee, and he was shot by someone in his own home in Miami. He had a reputation for "bad behavoir", yet he was cleared of wrong-doing but folks don't believe if they don't want to. Strange how the media/press get bent if they can't get on the story or if someone stiffs them because of something or other.
It's always a downer when someone young gets killed - it would do to consider that there are bad people, and that not everyone who is considered to be bad is actually bad, ESPECIALLY because of their skin color. Best wishes and prayers to Sean Taylor's family and friends and the Redskins organization.
