Cosby and Whitlock

After the following suspects were arrested for the murder of Sean Taylor, the following preface appears before Jason Whitlock's article, "Taylor's death a grim reminder for us all":

EDITOR'S NOTE: This column originally appeared Wednesday [Nov 28], two days before Friday's [Nov 30] arrests of four men in the shooting death of Sean Taylor.

And so, to those detractors who claimed that Whitlock was pulling generalizations from his ass, here are the 4 suspects arrested for the murder of Sean Taylor:

Here are the lyrics to a song by one of the 4 aspiring defendants... ahem! rappers:

Really Real

I'm a thug nigger,
I'm a thug, thug, thug crook nigger, crooked scheming fiending thugging drug nigger,
I'm a pants sagging mark stabbin' thug nigger, thug thug thug thug...

You might as well call me 2-faced
'Coz I be talkin' in ya face, to find out where that safe, and plot on you the next day.

Shit get really real,
And for my dawg I will kill, coz he will do the same for me.

And the fools are now charged for murder.

Wilbur Smith, attorney for Eric Rivera, Jr., "This is another situation of a young black male killing another young black male. It's really sickening when you think of the lives that are now forever affected."  (Source)
