UPDATE: Four Arrested in Taylor's Death

[BleedBurgundy]

That's crazy. Died because he was generous? Wilbon better start writing that retraction...

A Miami area tv station is reporting that the shooter has confessed:

Like SGG's posts, nothing has been confirmed by police.

The suspects then supposedly hatched the plan to rob Taylor.

Man, his brother as and sister must feel awful if that's the case. It's interesting though about money being in the home because of these comments from Portis (I think this is from The John Thompson Show)

"What else people don't realize is, how many professional athletes do you know that's gonna sit in the house with money or sit in the house with a lot of jewels? Even if you find some jewels in somebody's house, what you gonna do with them? You can't wear 'em, because most people got nicknames or some big charm that everybody in the world knows whose it is, because it's a nickname of somebody. If you go to try to trade it in what are you gonna get for it? You're still gonna get caught.

"So you go into a house, and most high-profile people, most athletes got credit cards, most athletes don't have anything in the house. They're smart enough not to have anything in the house because [you're not] supposed to have weapons around and you shouldn't have weapons around. So who's gonna have a million dollars in cash and no weapons, you know? You're going into a house, what you're gonna find is maybe $5,000 in jewels. What you want, some TV's? You know, you come knock on the door, I'll get you a TV, it's not that serious, if you don't have anything to watch. I don't even like TV."

So that "large sum of money" was that in the safe? Because I thought nothing was taken the first time.

I highly doubt his siblings said he had money in his house or that there actually was money in his house.

They need to hang all the suspects. F em.

I bet they thought it was in there. I'm pretty sure they didn't get into the safe during the first robbery. I know some articles say it was "rifled" through, but I'm pretty sure it wasn't. It would explain why the went straight to the bedroom.

I heard that in the first robbery the guy attempted to get into the safe but failed.

Yeah, I've heard mixed things. I've heard failed to open the safe (which would explain the butter knife left behind, used to pry things open supposdly), but I've also heard they rifled through the safe.

Maybe there's more than one safe? I thought nothing was taken the first time, but apparently his mom filed the police report and she may not have known there was some money or other valuables hidden there. So she never reported anything stolen.

But now we could be looking at him getting killed while protecting his g/f and baby girl from guys who were trying to rob him because of money he gave it to his siblings. Damn! I don't know even know what to say to that.

He'll still find a way to say that it was Taylor's fault.

He'll say Taylor may have changed but the people around him didn't. Or something to that effect.

They'll all just say that they prefaced everything they said with "well it might not have to do with his past" even though they went on to blatantly impugn the man's character and say it had everything to do with the ATV incident (oh yeah, and his fines for uniform violations and illegal hits, because that's relevant). David Dupree nailed it on his interview on the John Thompson show. All these reporters hide behind the public's 'right to know' and then they irresponsibly report a story while imposing their own preconceptions.

Or that, more likely. Exactly.
