It's hard to compare tragic events, because each one is so different. At the same time, it is ludicrous to blame ST's surroundings. This tragedy had nothing to do with growing up on the streets of Miami.

ST was killed by a random act of violence. Taylor was doing what anyone would do...he was protecting his home and family. By all accounts Taylor
had turned his life around.

Nothing pisses me more than to hear someone say Taylor's death was a result of his environment. Those that say this are just plain ignorant.

Better end here, because this topic will cause me to get on a soapbox.
