Read it.

That is all.

Except for one thing:

Mrs. Young--Thank you for writing this.

I'll still stand by Jason Whitlock's column (if you haven't read it). It's hard to ignore facts in this case. Was he a murder victim? Sure. But if he wanted to do something very good for him family, he'd move out of that area and move to where his football team is like every other NFL player. A week before, someone broke into his house and left a knife on his bed...That'd be a tell tale sign to me "OK, time to get out of here"....The murdering of someone is never justified. But if it walks like a duck, quacks like a duck, and looks like a duck....its a duck...Just my two cents

Just to play Devil's Advocate: People close to him (Antrel Rolle) did nothing to contradict the speculation that his past had caught up to him, in fact they openly suggested that it had. Additionally, the early reports were of telephone wires being cut to the house - which suggests a hit, not a robbery.

The attempts to link his on field behavior to what happened was just plain irresponsible, but reports on his violent past and his associations with the wrong crowd were clearly part of the story that it was the journalists' responsibility to tell.

Ms. Young's story would've been much more praiseworthy if had come out immediately after the controversial reporting in question. Instead, coming now after we have all the facts, she's just another reactionary using the benefit of hindsight to improve her self-image and ridicule others.

No thanks, I read the first few lines, and I'll stick with Whitlock's article.

Very nicely said.

the guy was killed, and he never did anything deserving of death, that is ALL that matters in this case....he was disrespected greatly

Seriously, I'm tired of all the passing judgement in this case. He didn't deserve to be killed, he was killed, it's a tragedy. Stop trying to make it seem anything less than a travesty because of "his past" or "should have got out of there".

Unless you lived his life in his shoes don't stand up and act like you have the right to say what he SHOULD have done with his life. It's ridiculous how the same people who blame hip hop and things like that for "devaluing life" can sit there and devalue life themselves by trying to put even a smidget of blame on the VICTIM for being murdered.

It's like saying to a women who was raped "hey you shouldn't have dressed like that".
