Of course, somebody got to Pharrell and made him “get his mind right”, hence his comments after the verdict.
We Is Teenagers, Dont Shoot Me

Arizona - -(Ammoland.com)- Has the use of the word teenager by the old media given criminal teens a sense of immunity?
You see it again and again. Trayvon Martin is constantly referred to as a teenager, as though that somehow absolved him of his crimes.
Most male children, who are brought up in intact families, do not become predatory creatures in their teens. But for those who do not have strong, moral, male role models in their lives, especially if this is the default position in their community, predation is a common role.
In a home invasion in Georgia, the homeowner grabbed his gun as his door was broken down. As he confronted the three invaders, they yelled at him.
From wrdw.com:
The first thing he hollered, we is teenagers, dont shoot me, Green said.
Green said he didnt care what age they were, they were breaking into his home.
If you are old enough to do a crime, age doesnt matter. Doesnt matter whether youre a teenager, youre grown. If you can do the crime, your punishment, it shouldnt matter. I had my gun in my hand and I just started firing at them, Green said.
A six foot plus 17 year old can be just as dangerous as an older criminal, maybe more. As I read media reports, it seems that being 17 should give some special sort of invulnerability to bullets and jail. The juvenile justice system may give some invulnerability to jail, for a time. But words do not stop bullets.
The progressive position seems to be that children are inherently good. That is not true. Children are inherently selfish and amoral. In Christianity, this is recognized as original sin. Each child is a wild animal that must be civilized and taught moral virtues. This is much harder to do in a single parent home. If teenagers are told that they are expected to steal, as many media reports seem to imply; and that it is excused because they are teenagers, we should not be surprised when large percentages of them become actual criminals.
