"No, we don't know for certain the circumstances surrounding Taylor's death. I could very well be proven wrong for engaging in this sort of aggressive speculation. But it's no different than if you saw a fat man fall to the ground clutching his chest. You'd assume a heart attack, and you'd know, no matter the cause, the man needed to lose weight.
Well, when shots are fired and a black man hits the pavement, there's every statistical reason to believe another black man pulled the trigger."
i pretty much stopped reading there
and what the fuck was the point of even mentioning soldja boy?

I respect what your sayin but how do you know he was doing dirt Hurrache? Just wanted to know how you came up with the conclusion.... I know he wasn't no Angel but who is at his young age? It could have been over jealousy or cuz he cut away 4rm some of his childhood friends that were into trouble! Check out this article by Antrel Rolle who grew up with him:

TEMPE, Ariz. -- Still in disbelief of his childhood friend's shooting death, Arizona Cardinals cornerback Antrel Rolle vowed Wednesday to make sure Sean Taylor is remembered.
He added he did not believe the killing was part of a burglary gone sour, and that Taylor had many enemies on the streets of Miami.
"This was not the first incident," Rolle said. "They've been targeting him for three years now."
Rolle said many former "friends" had it in for Taylor, who was trying to build a more stable life.
"He really didn't say too much," Rolle said, "but I know he lived his life pretty much scared every day of his life when he was down in Miami because those people were targeting him. At least, he's got peace now."
Rolle and Taylor, whose fathers were policemen in Homestead, Fla., started playing football together when they were 6 years old. They went on to become University of Miami teammates and NFL first-round draft picks. Both wore No. 21, Rolle for the Cardinals, Taylor for the Washington Redskins.
Rolle said he hadn't talked to Taylor in a while, and that the Redskin had withdrawn from the crowd he hung around with to build a new life with his girlfriend and young daughter.
"There was so much surrounding him," Rolle said. "Everyone was talking about him bad, so he just had to distance himself from everyone and live a life of his own. ... Within the last year, I've never seen anyone make such a dramatic change,"
Withdrawing from a bad crowd isn't easy, though, Rolle said.
"They say it was a burglary. It absolutely was not a burglary," he said. "Down South, where we're from, there were many people talking to Sean, a lot of jealousy, a lot of angry people.
"Sean, he had a large group of friends, and he no longer hung out with those friends, so you never know where this came from."
Rolle said his family rushed to the hospital to be with Taylor's family following the shooting.
"It really hasn't hit me yet," Rolle said, "the fact that I'm never going to see his face again, his ways, him performing on the field. My heart goes out to his girlfriend, his family, his little kid."
Rolle will leave immediately after Sunday's game against Cleveland on a flight to Miami, where he will attend Monday's memorial service. But Rolle wants fans to keep remembering Taylor as the player he was and the man he was becoming after some rough years.
"I'm going to keep his name alive," Rolle said. "Every time I make a play, I'm definitely going to mention him. I'm going to represent my 21 as his 21."
Rolle said he and Taylor became friends as 6-year-old teammates for the Homestead Hurricanes. Later, when they played against each other, Rolle was a running back and Taylor a linebacker.
"They'd call a sweep one way," Rolle said. "I would look at him on that side, and I would change the play myself and go the other way because I knew he would try to knock my head off."
Rolle was an All-American as a senior in 2004 and was picked eighth overall by the Cardinals. A year before, Taylor earned similar honors at Miami, then went to Washington as the fifth overall choice.
"I definitely will go out there and play and do everything I can do because I know how much he loved the game," Rolle said. "I don't think there was anyone who lived it or took it as seriously as he did. I just told myself I'm not going to let his name die. We started when we were 6 years old, and we're going to finish it together."

He's right. I ain't black, but I'm Mexican and can see what he's saying.
There's a reason why both blacks and Mexicans be killing eachother out in the streets. There's something in common and it all starts in the mindsets we have. I think it's just too much PRIDE. I don't understand why we have to hate on eachother so much. One man gets up in life, gets a new car, job,..., the next man of the same race shoots him because he's jealous. It's bullshit, it's a never ending cycle that keeps us from progressing as a race.
Hiphop is worse than ever IMO. Not just because of the way it sounds, but the whole GREED thing and lust for material goods. That shit is waaaay worse than the Gangster rap back in the 90's IMHO. Atleast you got some positive messages out of gangster rap and you can see the consequences. But now, there's no messages, nothing. It's all uneducational crap that's fucking up our youth. I seen two little kids before on separate occasions singing "super man dat ho" "yoooouuuu!" while listening to it in their MP3 players. I'm talking little kids like 6-8 years old. Just plain bullshit. You know all that shit and bombardment of material goods like cellphones, MP3 players, etc... affects their education and all that shit is related to Hiphop because Hiphop at the moment glorifies those types of material goods. Hiphop was for teenagers nearing adulthood and adults back then, not little kids. Then you see these little kids in music videos dancing, OMFG. Just rediculous.

Another thing I notice about both blacks and Mexicans is that when someone dies or goes to prison, we make R.I.P. T-shirts with pictures of the victims or when someone goes to prison we make "Free so and so" T-shirts.
That's all cool I suppose and understand the grief. But what this all comes down to is PRIDE. There's really no reason to show this off to the public, like if they even care or know the person your refering to. Alls it's saying IMO is LOOK AT ME, I'M BLACK AND PROUD or I'M MEXICAN AND PROUD. It could also be saying I'M PROUD OF MY SET. Instead of looking at what might have been the inital cause of your homies' death (such as gang activity), you still choose to display it afterwards. I don't get it. Too much pride is killing us.

People kill people for reasons... someone could have killed him out of jealousy. But what does that have to do with rap music? It could have been a random robbery... who knows. Blaming hip hop for black on black or mexican on mexican crime is stupid. If rap music wasn't out we'd still have these killings. People were being murdered, pimped, drugged out before rap music came out. Gangsters and gang banging came out before rap music.
