    He shot his cousin apparently in his home. They're calling it domestic violence. I'm guessing he won't be fighting any time soon but who knows. Maybe it was self defense. I think his wife had called 911 saying there had been an intruder.

    It's my theory that he has brain damage and it's affected his behavior. I don't think it's gonna end well for JT, sadly.

    On a lighter note, he shot his cousin multiple times and couldn't kill him.

    Typical Taylor. Can never finish a guy off.

    I guess this means the highly anticipated showdown between Taylor and Sam Soliman won't be happening.

    Wrong. The judge is letting him proceed with the fight.

    Kid saw Winky draw with Taylor and thought he could draw faster. He thought wrong.

    Was the cousin armed??

    One shot I could see to bring him down. Why were multiple shots necessary?

    You shoot bullets, not electricity. Multiple shots are necessary whenever you are able to get off multiple shots because that means the person being shot is still standing. The objective isn't to hit them, it's to put them down.

    Taylor's Attorney Filed a Request to Allow him to Leave the State of Arkansas to Train for the Soliman Fight, Scheduled for October 8th...

    ESPN is Still Deciding if they're Going to PROCEED w/the Bout or Not...

    According to Reports, Taylor's Cousin was w/Another Man, yet Only Taylor's Cousin was Harmed in the Incident...Definitely DOESN'T Sound like a Break In Attempt Gone Bad...

    Simple. He sold his soul to the Devil, and in return received massive HBO hype, and two kind decisions to hop, and a gift draw to Wright.

    The price of fame.

    Those were not gifts! Just because he shot someone doesn't mean you can rewrite history...Taylor won the first clear and the second Hopkins didn't do enough...live with it...I know it puts a cog in your Hopkins worship parade but facts are facts and Hopkins couldn't overcome Taylors speed..In fact Hopkins fought like a pussy in both of those fights or he probably would've won...

    Wouldn't that depend on what gun was used plus the SIZE of the person?

    All I'm saying is that this doesn't seem to me like some sort of break in. Obviously I'm speculating but it seems weird that it was two men, and only one was harmed.

    I'm not commenting on the incident, just the idea that you can shoot someone too many times if they are still standing. Just like you keep punching until the ref steps in, it makes sense to keep shooting until the threat is no longer a threat.

    The More REED Thinks on this Case, the MORE It Puzzles Him...

    EVERYBODY has Problematic Relatives...1 that You just NEVER Clicked w/ (For WHATEVER Reason),Perhaps 1 that You Straight Up DISLIKE...& Maybe the Feeling's MUTUAL...Maybe Ya'll Even Came to Blows 1nce or 2wice, or ALMOST Did...REED Certainly Has Relatives Like That, but if there's ANY "Relationship" @ All, it's EXTREMELY Distant...They have NO Idea Where REED Lives, will NEVER Be Invited Over & Probably DON'T Want to Spend Time w/REED's Sorry Ass Either...

    To the Point, Jermain Taylor's Cousin was AT His Residence...Not Sure if he was INVITED or Not, but if an Unwanted Guest Shows Up on REED's Doorstep, Guess What, he Simply Looks Out the Peephole w/Out Answering the Fucking Door...They can Ring the Bell as Many Times as they Like, REED Ain't Answering...

    & REED's Talking about Relatives he HAS Never, Nor WOULD Ever Consider Harming in ANY Way, Nevermind SHOOTING Them...

    If Taylor's Cousin was Posing a THREAT, Suuuurely, the Dude that Accompanied Him Would've More than Likely Been COMPLICIT in the Act, Right???...Nonetheless, the Other Guy Wasn't Harmed @ All...Sooooo, Assuming Taylor's Cousin WASN'T a Threat, How EXACTLY Could their Interaction Escalate to the Point of the Former Undisputed Middleweight Champion of the Wooooorld, Bustin' a Cap in the Ass of a Family Member???...

    Again, the Other Guy was UNHARMED, Doub...& According to What REED's Read, Taylor NEVER Sooooo Much as THREATENED the Other Guy...

    Soooo Whatever Happened Seems to have Been btwn Taylor & his Cousin, EXCLUSIVELY...On Top of All that, Taylor Entered a Plea of "Not Guilty", According to his Attorney...

    Very STRANGE Situation, to Say the Least...

    Guess there's no point in speculating or trying the case outside of court, but you can't imagine Taylor would not have been more mad and felt more betrayed towards his cousin robbing him than a perfect stranger?

    Again, no point in speculating as to the facts or reacting to the possibility of any particular scenario, but I don't find it all that puzzling.

    I have no idea what occurred, but I can imagine many scenarios that could've played out this way...
