Sean Taylor - RIP UPDATED

What is your common sense smell test? Know a lot of people who commit premeditated homicide? Where does your sniffer get this acute detector of criminal b.s. if not from popular culture?

Criminals are stupid. Very often, they're high and stupid. When confronted, they often panic. People die of gun crimes all the time in this country from panic.

 

that aimed at me, DD?

 

No, IU90, who quoted my post above.

 

Which was what?

 

I am hearing now that it was Jason Williams who was the trigger man. It was all an unfortunate accident.

 

the point is: there's a huge societal problem in our country that continues to feed upon itself and fester. is that what killed taylor? maybe not, but you'd be a fucking chucklehead to bet against it, which is more than reason enough to address an issue we all should be discussing to begin with.

just my opinion, dog, i could be wrong.

 

thanks.

 

I'm not exactly sure how the law works in Florida on this. I do know under Pennsylvania law, a person in his position could be banned not just from legally owning a gun, but from possession of one. Even if it is not his gun, if they find it in his house it could definitely be considered a violation.

I served on a jury about eight years ago in Pennsylvania. An ex-con was charged with possessing a firearm just because a gun was found in an apartment he owned.

His story was that his nephew was staying there and he was out of town and that the gun belonged to the nephew. If the investigating detective hadn't done a piss-poor job and left so many holes in the case, the guy definitely would have gone to jail. As it is, the evidence was way too weak so we had to come back with an acquittal.

Point being, if there was a gun in Taylor's home, even if it wasn't his, that could still be enough to get him in trouble.

 

I don't have experience with these things, so I could be wrong. . .

But I assume it'd be pretty evident to Taylor's girlfriend, who was there, whether the shooting was a random act or a hit.

 

Yeah... unexplored in the rush.

 

Sorry, Simon, didn't mean to slight your quickness. I meant for public consumption by the chattering class. As in, unexplored in the rush to judgment on radio, television and in newspapers.

 

OK, does "shot in the groin" mean "shot in the nuts"?
My understanding is that ST got hit in the femoral artery and bled out. That can mean he got shot in the upper-leg, which is the non-metaphorical part of The Groin. Could be that's just where he got hit.
