Sean Taylor Shot in the Thigh (UPDATED 6:54 PM)

I feel sad, upset, and dejected. This is cold blood attempted murder! A man should be safe in his own home...if you're going to rob somebody at gun point why don't you just f'ing ask him to give you what he has instead of shooting him?

The Miami Herald does make it sound more like an attempted murder rather than an attempted robbery. There are so many reports it is impossible to know what to believe. Apparently it was not the first time someone had tried to break into his home recently, which might account for why he was down there (as JLC and others have pointed out).

Of course I'm speculating, but this has to be a targeted attack. The neighborhood is pretty swanky, neighbors have said it's very peaceful, and his home has been targeted several times.

I have been thinking the exact same thing since reading the Miami Herald article. If this is the case there is probably a better than average chance of catching the piece of scum that did this.

More importantly right now, based on the last Insider update, we should all be praying hard for ST. It's all we can do to help.

Because they are dumb cowards.

I wonder if they assumed he's be away because it was game day.

I listened to John Zarella reporting doctors were "worried about possible brain damage."

A few minutes later, a MASN reporter quoted Zarella as saying Docs were "VERY worried.." Zarella didn't say "very"

Just heard the same reporter quote him as saying they were 'VERY MUCH worried..."

Watch those reports!

Words matter.

Get it right, guys.

This is nuts. I remember I heard it this morning on the radio and I didnt think it was actually our ST. I actually heard that some people are reveling in this. I actually had one girl in my class say it was the best news she heard all day. I mean come on, the guy is basically in the ICU. That's bad no matter who it is and what team they're playing on, that's getting shot at. This isn't about football or rivalries it's about the preservation of human life.
