Sean Taylor shot

Holy crap, what is wrong with people? If you have to be a greeter at WalMart, or pump gas, or ask would you like fries with that?, so be it, but get a job. Don't go shooting people while you're trying to rip off what they've worked for. From SI:

Washington Redskins star safety Sean Taylor was in critical condition Monday after he was shot during what police are investigating as a possible armed robbery at his home.

The 24-year-old player was in the intensive care unit following several hours of surgery at Jackson Memorial Hospital, said family friend Richard Sharpstein, his former lawyer. He remained unconscious early Monday evening.

Taylor lost a "significant" amount of blood because the bullet damaged his femoral artery, and doctors are worried about blood flow to the brain, added Sharpstein, who was at the hospital with the player's family and friends.

Taylor has had several problems on and off the field, including an incident two years ago in which he was accused of brandishing a gun.

The shooting came eight days after another invasion was reported at his home. According to police records, someone pried open a front window, rifled through his drawers and left a kitchen knife on a bed...

Not that Taylor is a beacon of light in the greater scheme of things, but still...I suppose I won't be surprised when the news breaks that this was a revenge thang. What goes around comes around, right?

addendum: Sean Taylor died early this morning.
