“Sekou Sakor and Ansu Keita were each shot in the head sometime Thursday night at a condominium in Woodbury, N.Y., owned by Jonathan Vilma. There were no arrests.”

I’m the one who made the earlier comparison to the Michael Vick situation, and this is why it immediately reminded me of that:

“Browne said various members of Vilma’s family had access to the condominium, located in a gated development. It had been up for sale.”

No mention of who these “family members” are…but Vilma is from Florida. They’re probably not close. It seems that allowing “family members” the use of your uninhabited properties isn’t a good idea for NFL players.

Until his innocence or guilt is fully resolved, this is unfortunately going to overshadow everything going on for you guys this off-season. Terrible situation, terrible for the families of those killed, and not fun for Saints fans.

Best of luck to you.

killed as revenge for an Internet scam

I’m not concerned. Vilma had nothing to do with this.

Well, it wasn’t
supposed to go
down that way.
But they burned his brother,
you know,
And they left him lying
in the driveway.
They let him down with nothin’.
He tried to do his best
but he could not.

Vilma was in Florida, Right?

Another season started off tainted with murder and one of our players close to it but not in it. But just enough to take his focus to 90% instead of 100.

Settle down.

so this is the first I’ve heard about this. I’ll have to do a little reading and catch up with you all. It sounds like a bad situation all the way around.

No matter how you slice it, it is not good news that this guy is now being mentioned in two off-field incidents this off-season. You’d be completely naive to not have a question about Vilma’s character now. Personally, I think the guy is a good character – but if the shoe drops on this or another incident, I won’t be shocked.

was more just because Vick had fam and friends that were not a good crowd, I don’t think whoever stated this meant it in a way to vilify Vick.

(I think I’ve already told this one, but that’s never stopped me before) I’m traveling with my boss (not Larry, Mark: he looks like congressman Barney Frank but likes girls), trying to get home from Rhode Island, thunderstorms cause us to miss the last flight out of Chicago. United gives us hotel vouchers and we stay over, meet in the restaurant for breakfast. Headline news: OJ Simpson’s wife and friend brutally butchered last night. I said “Mark, he’s in Chicago today (don’t remember how I knew that). He killed his wife and got on a plane right afterwards.” Mark stares at me, knowing that OJ is a beloved football legend and comedy film genious, and says: “Whoa whoa Stuart…. Let’s not jump to conclusions.”

Obviously, I’m prescient (acquittal verdict notwithstanding). Vilma had nothing to do with this and is completely innocent.

the speculations of fans when things go wrong with a star. Hilarious how we assign attributes and qualities to people we’ve never met.

Police believe a cousin of Vilma had access to the Woodbury apartment, which Vilma was renting to tenants while he tried to sell it. Police have not yet spoken to Vilma. “Of course, he has absolutely nothing to do with this crime and will do everything possible to help the police solve it,” said attorney Michael Tein.

Vilma only owned the property from what I understand and was not currently inhabiting it. In order to be associated with this crime and charged for any wrong doings, he has to have broken a law. Impossible if he was not physically involved or had no knowledge of it at all. If the evidence involved in this crime proves the above than he is completely innocent of any wrong doing. The situation seems just like say if one of us owned an apartment/house and we rented it out. The tenant committed a murder in the home/apartment so is the landlord (owner) responsible in any way if he had no knowledge of the crime taking place and no involvement other than merely owning the property. It’s a sad thing when any murder happens, but I think we can all relax on this one and feel confident it will be seen for exactly what it is.
