Something Just Isn't Right

I don't want to be the one to go against the crowd here, but I'm not convinced yet. I kept my opinions to myself out of respect for those Taylor Bradford left behind. It's always a shame when any young person dies, whether they caused it on or not. That's why I haven't mentioned what I think might have happened. I have a sneaky suspicion the news media isn't telling the public the whole story. The first time I saw this guy out of his football uniform in a suit. I had a funny feeling about him. He didn't look like your everyday 300 lb lineman who dressed up to take a picture. He had a Shug Knight type persona happening. He was quite dapper for his size, and looked real good in a suit. I'm a pretty good judge of character, and game recognizes game. I'm not a slickster these days , but I use to think I was. Based on his photographs he thought he was too.

Four young men have been arrested in connection with his shooting. One of them turned out not only to be a U of M student, but also his ex-girlfriend's new boyfriend. The same girlfriend who Bradford had an "order of protection" against. Who is now dating someone with a long criminal record that includes 2nd degree murder. I don't want to sound judgemental, but she sounds like some "ride or die chick" to me. Considering the fact that these two young men had been at each other before. She could have very well been playing one against the other. I think it will eventually come out.

They say he won $7000 at the casino and still had it on him when he got shot. That gives us a motive; but how did they know he had it on him. People don't walk around with that kind of money on them, unless they're used to having large sums of cash. Even if they won it at the casino, they wouldn't be carrying it around. The only people packing wads like that are rappers and dope dealers, and I haven't heard any of his records. In due time it will all come out. I just feel like "something just isn't right".
