Well... refereeing street fighting, the tattoos he had, the texts he sent, the drugs in his system, the school suspensions for drug possession, , vandalism/probable theft, and beating up a bus driver, the tweets from somebody wanting him to sell weed to him, the pants hanging around about crotch level and the hoodie that kept his identity hidden, the post-mortem comments by his friends that he probably beat up Zimmerman good....
I’d say he was pretty much a gangsta. What’s missing, that leads you to think he wasn’t?
When I see a young black boy walking down the street, I say a quick prayer for him, that he’ll avoid a future like the one you just described.
