I understand that the majority of murder victims are killed by another member of their own race (this is true across the board according to FBI statistics). But is it any better or worse that his murderer is of a certain racial background? If any good can come of this then let it be that we all stand together outraged at whoever commited this crime not seperate along racial divides. Sports gives us a chance to unite (black guys cheer for Cooley, white guys cheer for Moss and we all cheer for SmootSmack). I hope whoever did this is executed.

Well as a black man it hurts me to see young black men killing one another. After all the shit that went on in the 40's, 50's and 60's. Other black people were killed ( Medgar Evers, MLK, Vernon Dahmer) so I have the right to vote, go to good schools, eat at nice restaurants, stay in nice hotels. Just basic civil rights. I guess you have to be black to understand. So when I see these pieces of shit killing another black man that's made it, it makes me sick and angry. They just have no sense of history and it comes from the household.

But regardless these thugs need to be put to death. I'm tired of this shit. I'm tired of all the black on black crime. Everyday I can pick up the newspaper and see another innocent victim being carjacked or killed. Especially here in DC. Except this time it's a famous athlete that we all root for. But the reality is it happens all the time.

I agree I teach in Compton, CA and it's sad to see generation after generation fall for this trap. It's the crabs in the bucket mentality, these are young people who made poor choices that will forever haunt them and Sean's family. It happens far to often. I'm glad that they were caught and hopefully will recieve the justice they deserve. RIP Sean Hail to the Skins.

Good to hear...

Such a sad series of events... it's glad to hear that these kids are off the streets. Terrible shame all around.

Prayers to the killer, prayers to Sean and his family.
