Re: coping with the loss of sean

Well SBF, he didn't have a gun because he wasn't allowed to as a condition of the probation from the prior firearms case.

Just imagine, though, what could have happened had he had a gun. A situation which might have been (temporarily) better for Redskins fans and an even bigger tragedy to Sean Taylor: his girlfriend and daughter could have been killed.

Any man with a family would rather go down to a bullet than see it happen to his family. We as fans (and especially as people who didn't even really know the man) have to remember we're being extremely selfish when we grieve and regret his loss.

Maybe Reed Doughty will make enough money this year to set his son's medical procedures up for life, who knows? Maybe Sean's death will startle and scare a whole slew of budding wanna-be thugs like the ones who murdered him, to put down the guns and straighten out their lives.
