Shooting of 7 year old and father

Stacey Nickerson discovered her boyfriend Marquise Steens, 28, dead at his 205 Guerrant St. home after 8:30 p.m. Saturday night. Police who were called to the home later discovered the couple’s 7-year-old son, Malique, dead.

Malique was a budding athlete, who played on the Shiloh Baptist Church baseball team, served as quarterback for the Windsor Rams and dreamed of being a professional football player.

“He loved football. He said he was going to make it when he was older,” Nickerson said. “He slept with his football. He took a shower with his football. He took it to school.”

I found out about this last night at football practice. Malique played for Windsor's JV Peewee team. When our JV team (I coach varsity) played them a couple of weeks ago, I remember our JV coach talking about how good Malique was.

That's a damn shame. Why in the Hell would someone shoot a 7 year old? There is a special place in Hell for people that do this.

It's absolutely horrible that things like this and things far worse than this happen everyday.

This morning, I heard about the "ninja killings" of last year, in which a group of men went into the home of a couple known for adopting special-needs children and killed them. It really, really depresses me to know that you can do so much good in this world, only to have your life taken from you and your children's lives changed irrevocably.

It's a sad world we live in.

Usually over Drugs, Money, or both. It's wrong to assume that the woman's boyfriend as into something that he shouldn't have been, but very low percentage of murders are random. (Unless you count those as a result of a car accident.)

The little boy was most likely "collateral damage." Don't you like that word? "Collateral Damage." Sounds so much better than, "Our bad, we didn't mean to kill your *$$!" The military uses it all the time.

I did read that the father had a criminal history and I'm sure it probably was over something like that. Yeah, collateral damage is one of the dumbass PC terms that I can't stand.

However, there are rumors that the kid was beaten first, then shot.

    • He needs to improve his progressions and not look to run every time his primary target is covered.  If he does, Sellers could be the number 1 overall pick.  If he doesn't, then he'll be a later round flier and the NFL is littered with running QBs that are so so at passing.  
    • I think Igo put a minimum post count on the TB to avoid trolls. Not sure what it is though.
    • The internet lacks any nuance. BY actually played good I'd say 90% of his snaps. I went back and watched every play. The 10% that was bad though, was REALLY bad. I'm hard pressed to put blame on him for everything though, like the 2nd int and the time where XL ran the wrong route and it looked like he just sailed the pass. I think I counted 3 or 4 bad throws in the game which were on BY. The fumble is 100% on him. That is like the exact same situation as in the Dallas game last year. Same with the first pick. He didn't see the safety, just like that Atlanta game. There were many passing yards lost due to drops. The Renfrow throw (50/50 Bryce imo but Renfrow had his hands on the ball), Tmac drop, and XL not getting his feet down. Those were all chunk plays. Bryce didn't play bad, just wasn't elite and when he made mistakes, they were colossal mistakes. Honestly, I think we should move on, I don't think he is IT, but too much blame for this game is going his way imo.
