Redskins' Taylor dies of gunshot wound

[wingslogo19 281]

So much for this case going unsolved. Police arrested 4 people tonight in connection with Taylor's death. Hope they got the right people.

Yup the 4 younger men have been charged now...

I watched the game today, and WOW was it touching... First play on D the Skins only sent out 10 men.. Here's a really good read and very moving...

For good reason. He threatened someone's life with a gun during an altercation and then pistol-whipped him with the gun - most guys would have done at least a little time for this, but he probably got off on probation on account of his NFL influence.

Above poster said "he was turning his life around". This is just a euphanism for "he hasn't gotten into trouble for awhile". None of us will really ever know for sure. The fact that he was still hanging onto his house in a bad neighborhood instead of moving his child and himself to a safer area (maybe move up to D.C. where he worked) makes me kind of skeptical about the "turning around". In the end, it's just sad that these guys choose to live these kinds of lifestyles.

The likelihood of finding the thug shooter is pretty low too - they STILL haven't arrested anyone in Denver 11 months after one of their players was gunned down here most liikely by a gang member - total ineptness of the justice system.

It's not a bad neighborhood. My house is only a few blocks away. That was the first time I've ever heard of anything like that happening, but then last night, my dad was robbed at gunpoint in my driveway. It's strange becasue if you drive through here you would never think that something like that could happen.
