That centered text is playing tricks on my eyes. Is that a phone-enabled post?

He doesn’t call himself Lil’ Pakistan, that’s the title of his “album”.

From the myspace pages, it doesn’t look to me like we’re dealing with assassins. It looks like we’re dealing with budding sociopaths. Did y’all see the myspace friend named, “Mama, pray for yo’ baby?” Practically all their male friends names either glamorized money, threatened violence, or demeaned women. Part of me would like to throw most of those guys into Gitmo with the rest of the terrorists like they deserve. Another part of me feels like it is impossible that many sociopaths can occur randomly, therefore we as a society must be doing something to foster this type of behavior.

okay…maybe i have too much time on my hands but if you go to the one myspace account that is referenced first…..check out his profile and look at his second top friend. If you click on that picture, it has an unknown redskin background, (possibly sean taylor???) and the date of birth and death of sean taylor….the title of this profile is “rip bro.” is there some connection here???? or have i just seen too much tv. it looks like maybe there is a deeper link than just a random botched burglary to me.

This sounds like a botch job to me. I don’t think it’s fair to blame a dead guy for his own murder when two days ago everything was different than today. There seems to be a trend of athletes’ homes being targeted. It’s happened in Chicago and Houston. And let’s face it, these guys make great targets. Looking for jewelery and cash? Also, there’s a larger trend of burlery in wealthy neighborhoods. Homesites are larger, people are less likely to watch their neighbor’s homes, and there are always vans of workers and stuff going into people’s driveways.

Maybe these guys knew he was home, maybe he they didn’t. Either way, someone probably was talking about how much cash and jewelry Sean Taylor had and it piqued some young criminal’s interest. They left the knife on the bed because their amatuers and they didn’t find anything the first time. Obviously they didn’t get away with it and they didn’t get any loot.

I think they ought to be all charged with capitol murder.

I doubt it, SVPStyle. From viewing their MySpace pages, I would surmise that they were just looking to get paid. Perhaps there was a specific item that they knew he kept in his home – or even in his bedroom – but at the least, one of them either knew him or knew of him, and they figured he wasn’t going to be home. I’d also say that they may have done some other small scale things before (likely the same people who broke in the week before, coming back because they didn’t get what they were looking for), but I agree with the comment above that they had probably never been confronted by a man with a machete, so they got scared and shot him and ran. The first shot missed, which at point blank range sounds like they weren’t expecting to shoot anyone.

These are some pretty young kids. I don’t think they were thinking about much more than trying to get rich quick. This is sad all the way around.

Tell me if Kenny Rogers is overpaid after you see what Kyle Lohse signs for. 8M is a bargain in this market. Wake up, Tibble: A setup guy who had a 6.70 ERA in 2006 and was outright released in 2007 signed for 3 yrs/12M this offseason. See Romero, J.C.

One interesting theory that no one has looked into is who might be looking for revenge against Taylor’s dad, the police chief?

Gangsta D is correct here, as usual. Also on par is TBL putting a sports story together with a real life story, because they’re a bit slow and dont fully understand real life.

Where are the facts to support no connection to the knife? And I never said it was a hit on Taylor. I don’t think anyone did.

Your questions …
1) No clue. Speculate away.
2) Because they’re rookies? Because he yelled that they called the police? Absolutely no answer to this.
