Rest In Peace #21

When I made my last blog last night I was really encouraged that Sean Taylor was gonna pull through.

I woke up this morning though to a sequence of text messages regarding a project I'm working on for the paper, but the last text regarded the situation.

"Sorry to hear about Taylor too."

I jumped out of bed, hoping my friend just meant he was sorry Taylor was hospitalized. Unfortunately the headline on the major media website was that Sean had passed.

I'm almost still at a loss for words. I'm angry and sad for his family, the team and most especially his 18-month old daughter. He was only 24!

This is being called a "tremendously sad and unnecessary event," by Sean's attorney. It's much more than that though.

I'm angry right now and can't understand what was going through the killers mind when he shot at Taylor. What could this guy possibly have to gain by killing another human being and making that person's fiance witness it.

Something is seriously wrong with society today and something needs to be done about gun violence.

For now though it is definitely time to remember the good Sean brought to the world. God Bless You Sean.
