Sean Taylor RIP

Sean Taylor didn't make it. As I posted yesterday, he led a violent life and had a violent death. It sounds strange to hope that his death was a random act and not retribution for something or part of an ongoing feud, but I do hope that was the case.

I wrote earlier about the various factors that come into play as we walk this planet. I didn't mention that Taylor's father is in law enforcement. That's just one other element in a confusing yet strangely typical story. Sadly, his teammates say he had matured as of late and was becoming a leader on and off the field.

The police will do their job (hopefully) and answers will be forthcoming. For now though, as is too often the case in our cities, a child is left fatherless and another young man buried far too soon.
