    Yea, every lawyer in the world is a lying scumbag. Lord knows prosecutors would never use shaky evidence to try to convict a high-profile person. Why bother having trials in the first place?

    That said, maybe Taylor did level a gun at a person. Who knows. I still find the apparent circumstances of this current crime surprising, which was my original point. Maybe I'm just easily surprised.

    So the police say it appears to be random and Rolle says the kid lived the past three years scared?
    Damn is right. Damn.

    I agree that leaving your past behind isn't easy at all, and sometimes it might be futile. But at least Taylor was apparently trying to do so, even if his past did come back and swallow him up.
    I think Wilbon was trying to make the point that it can change, but it will take plenty of work to do it.
    And you have to want to help yourself. If you don't want to, then there's not much society can do for you.

    An absolute home run.
    I'm reminded of an old Benjamin Franklin quote: “The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results. ”
    Unless the black KKK wakes up and starts to foster real change, life in that side of the world will be just as crazy as ever.

    I would argue that it is crazier and crazier every year. The fact that we are now having players (Williams, Taylor) murdered in their everyday life should attest to that.

    Not that hard for the past to come back and swallow you up when you live, so to speak, in the past.

    He'd be alive today if he didn't live in south Florida.
