A sad story. This young guy had troubles for much of his life. So sad. R.I.P.

 

Understatement of the fucking year, counselor



Dude killed his granny and robbed people.....I mean got damn son

 

Talking about fucking up grandpa's legacy...damn.

 

Crazy times we living in

 

Makes you wonder, if grandpa hadn't been assassinated and been around in his life would he still have turned out the way he did or taken a different path?

 

He was such an incredible dude, I can't help but think things would have been different. But you know, that whole conflict their family had with the Nation, had to have been intense. It can't have been easy dealing with that stress.

 

No doubt. Their family is like a black version of the Kennedy family in the regard of drama, death & tragedies.

 

Totally. So much greatness, intellect and promise...Lost.

 

When he set that fire in his grandmother's place whose burns later killed her. I had no repect for that man. I thought he would get his life together but,he did not. I don't think his grandfather's presence would do any good for him had he lived.

 

According to reports he was killed in mexico while down there to promote worker's rights. Looks like he got caught up in one of those bar tab schemes.

Bad move: hanging out in mexican bars... (and hanging out in mexico, imho)

"Rios said there was no indication of a racial motivation in the attack on Shabazz, who was assaulted after he drank with a friend at the Palace bar on Garibaldi Plaza.

Martin Suarez, a labor activist who was in Mexico with Shabazz, said Friday that the fight broke out after the bar's owner insisted that Shabazz pay a $1,200 bill. Suarez said he found Shabazz injured outside the bar and took him to a hospital, where Shabazz died.

Many of the bars around Garibaldi Plaza are notorious for overcharging customers, particularly foreigners, often on the pretext that customers must pay for time spent talking with female employees."

 

Obviously this story is sad because of his public legacy. Despite his legacy, his life was plagued with negative aspects. What a waste, a double or triple waste in my op.

 

According to CNN.com they arrested the two guys that allegedly killed him.

 

wow.

 

When you're young like that you think you're invincible, & you can hang anywhere. When I was younger I was like that -- thought i had a universal ghetto pass, hanging with chicks in the projects, stuff like that.

This guy was drinking in a seedy bar in mexico where there are lots of bordellos and such.

 

I've only made one friend since I moved to PA from NY. He's from LA and he's Mexican. He told me straight up, "for the most part, Mexicans don't like black people".

 

True, which is one more reason why Mexico is the worse place to hang out in bars. Its hard to see anything good coming out of being in Mexico, and don't go to jail there or you really will be in DEEP shit.

 

That dude isn't a real friend imho.

I don't think all mexs hate black people. A lot them seem to envy black people and have weird complexes coming out of that.

But anyway, shabazz should've known better. You can't go everywhere and hang with everyone. Fucking around with mexican hos in a seedy mexican bar is bound to get you into trouble if you're not mexican,...or even if you're mexican.

Those guys probably resented him because he was black, but that scam could've happened to anyone.

 

Yep. That was my first response in reading this. Why was he in a bar in MEXICO of all places.

 

Lol...he is. I actually mentor the kid. He goes to law school next year. He's alright in my book. When I took him to the Bronx he couldn't believe how blacks and latinos were in the same neighborhoods chilling with each other. That's what prompted us to converse about the whole race thing.
