Re: Projo editorial on Sean Taylor by Shalise Manza Young
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.
