I hadn't kept up with this case so di...Hi MacDaddy. I hadn't kept up with this case so didn't know a workman was the culprit. The things I vaguely remember reading last year was that he showed signs of fearing someone was after him.<BR/><BR/>A lot of these companies hire anyone for these work jobs, and in my area the used to literally pick them out of a group of men in a parking lot. Most of them were undocumented and extremely good and had nice manners, but it was always chancey. Other companies put felons, drug addicts and mentally unstable men on their payroll, and again, while many work out, others have no scruples.<BR/><BR/>As a single woman and homeowner in my younger days, I was constantly hit on for dates by these guys, from the lawn people, to fence company, painters, etc., and had to be diplomatic to avoid some sort of payback. <BR/><BR/>One guy of a team of two was running his mouth with the other and asked me about my dog, then started joking with his friend (who had been asking me for a date but politely gave up) about a dog he stole on another job. I couldn't believe it. I was so angry, and wanted to complain to the company, but knew he'd come back and hurt me or poison or steal my dog who I'd leave in the backyard while at work. I swear, some of these men can be so creepy.<BR/><BR/>I've had quite a few experiences with folks and that, and being overcharged or having so-so work done, are the things I don't miss about home ownership. <BR/><BR/>Of course, this is all nothing compared to what happened to Sean Taylor. He was much too young to die such a senseless death. Very sad indeed.Kit (Keep It Trill)https://www.blogger.com/profile/03027769872237001801noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7737268075572482842.post-87822475655972573622008-12-10T15:10:00.000-06:002008-12-10T15:10:00.000-06:00Mr. MacDaddy, did you read my message yesterday ab...Mr. MacDaddy, did you read my message yesterday about Cadillac Records, about saying something about Muddy Waters and Little Walter? told my friends to check your blog.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7737268075572482842.post-86975404398702192472008-12-10T05:48:00.000-06:002008-12-10T05:48:00.000-06:00"I'm not pulling out the piece unless someones lif..."I'm not pulling out the piece unless someones life is in danger and deadly force is needed.

I'm protecting my home.<BR/><BR/>RevvyRev: I was very disappointed to hear a black man (Whitlock) speak so negatively about another black man without evidence-- before the guy has scarcely been laid into his grave.<BR/><BR/>Somebody: Good analysis. Sometimes you speak with such wisdom. Thank you.<BR/><BR/>Lisa, you told me about this. I didn't forget. <BR/><BR/>Safety experts say a home is broken into every 14 seconds. But when it happens to us, or to someone close to us, it's not a statistics. It's a life-long tragedy from which one may never heal, from which one can heal only with the help of strong family support, church support or therapy. I know it must have been hard from you. Thanks for sharing it.<BR/><BR/>CurbyGurl: I'm sure you know more about this story than I do. But I just wanted people to know I have not forgotten this brotha who was murdered in his own home trying to protect his family...Today, I'm going online to see if I can get a Sean Taylor football Jersey. I liked him as a football player, and I liked him even more as a person.<BR/><BR/>Sagacious; Due to the loss of jobs and a loss of hope, I think things will get worse as well.Mac Daddy Tribute Bloghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01483912561779369669noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7737268075572482842.post-20251103132641475382008-12-09T23:30:00.000-06:002008-12-09T23:30:00.000-06:00Daddy, Man, you are right.

As a lifelong Skins fan, I can honestly say that Sean's death left a haunting lesson on the hearts of those who are not only fans, but who give a damn about young black men. <BR/><BR/>I've seen several comments about the tribute to Sean being the result of his athletic talent rather than any contributions he made to society. These comments disgust me because they're pure speculation and unwarranted. Who's to say who is 'worthy' of a tribute? Absolutely ridiculous. The way I see it, we should shed a tear for all homocide victims, not just those deemed 'worthwhile'.♥ CG ♥https://www.blogger.com/profile/06312573343401136201noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7737268075572482842.post-31931663934430932952008-12-09T21:03:00.000-06:002008-12-09T21:03:00.000-06:00Hey there Daddy,Thank you for putting out the trut...Hey there Daddy,<BR/><BR/>Thank you for putting out the truth! There is ALWAYS a loud assumption made when a black man who has financial success has been killed. The news reporters INFER shady incinuations such as "police are investigating any possible drug connections". Pleeeease. How often have we heard THAT?<BR/><BR/>A brother doesn't even own a pack of Newports and the news wants to toss some shade over his casket about "possible gang related homicide" and "possible drug connections". This is the language that is used CONSTANTLY whenever a high-profile black man has been killed.<BR/><BR/>You are right. <BR/><BR/>We can ALL become victims in our own home.<BR/><BR/>As you know, my mother was murdered in OUR home when I was a child. The reporters were on the scene and NOT ONE dared make any incinuations in their news reports...THAT was only because my father was prominent and well-respected in the city.<BR/><BR/>Our family was referred to by whites as "the black Kennedys". <BR/><BR/>I am sure that if we had been a black family in the 'hood, the ENTIRE murder case would have been reported differently. Instead, these white reporters decided to handle the situation as they would have handled it if it had occurred at the home of a prominent white family - with decency and accuracy.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for sharing this story and for honoring Sean in this way.<BR/><BR/>Peace, blessings and DUNAMIS!<BR/>LisaLISA VAZQUEZhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13583559303233985031noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7737268075572482842.post-91992899541456125662008-12-09T20:06:00.000-06:002008-12-09T20:06:00.000-06:00It is a shame what is happening to the great count...It is a shame what is happening to the great country of ours. There are so many haters out there that don't look past the end of their nose, much less what is going to happen tomorrow, next week, next month, or next year. <BR/><BR/>Then there is the problem of the real haters not doing any time, and people that made a mistake getting the book thrown at them, thus turning them into haters. <BR/><BR/>It is a cycle that puts us all in danger.<BR/><BR/>Then there are the haters that spread false information and make things seem much different then they really are, this kind of behavior needs to stop, but I don't have an answer as to how to do it.Somebodies Friendhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13829397543895002523noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7737268075572482842.post-35854257247912770362008-12-09T17:20:00.000-06:002008-12-09T17:20:00.000-06:00I didn't know that Whitlock said those things.
