I called a local radio station 105.5 WEEI Boston after the Taylor murder to defend him because of the self-enriched dj's that put Taylor's death on him as his fault because of his surroundings. I lost my father to an act of violence when he was the age of 24, my mother was pregant with me at the time. Growing up poor I still became a physical therapist through family support and student loans. Outside of Washington D.C. the Taylor tragedy is brushed aside like it did not matter. Taylor's commitment to the game and his heart still inspires me. We are blessed to be Redskins fans, and we should always hold 21 close to our hearts. When I go to the games next year.. I want to see 21 jerseys everywhere. I absorb this website and have respect for every post because we all share a common passion for our team. Thank you for your time.

To compare is useless,it's what the impact to you personally means.If that gives you strength than fine but to state that one tragic incident is more important than others well........
