the problem is not a racial thing YES it is predominatly black, but the issue is poverty stricken people. kids see someone from the hood coming up making money and doing good for themselves they don't strive to do that, they want to steal it from them, kill them whatever they have to do to get quick money. Athletes and YES again it's predominatly the black athletes spend millions of dollars on Jewlery and rims flashy things, instead of investing and saving money. I think the key to putting an end to thing is educating our underpriveledge youth, even athletes they come into money @ 22 years old after living 22 years with NOTHING they want everybody to see what they got now who they are and then they are the target of crime.

If Shannon is successful in transforming Miami's football program, that might be the most meaningful tribute to the memory of victims like Sean Taylor and Bryan Pata. But good deeds and the best of intentions have always taken a back seat to winning on this nation's biggest athletic stages. And while Shannon has preached his new ethic this season, the football team lost in what was also unprecedented fashion. It not only had a losing record, the worst other than perennially last-place Duke in the ACC, but also wound up the season losing six of its final seven games. Miami will not be going to a bowl game for the first time in a decade, and you have to go back to 1944 to find a stretch of futility for Miami that approaches its final three games, when the Hurricanes were outscored 120-28.
The hope is that Shannon pulls it all together, off and on the field. But if the "off" doesn't translate to success on the gridiron, if a new direction in Miami isn't toward the familiar turf of big victories and bowl bids, then we are likely to discover just how hollow some of those tributes to victims like Sean Taylor really are.
