he grandson of US political activist Malcolm X has died in Mexico City following a fight in a bar, say Mexican officials.

Malcolm Shabazz, 29, succumbed in hospital to multiple injuries he suffered on Thursday.

Mexico's attorney general's office said an investigation into the incident was under way.

The US state department said that it was in contact with the family and offering appropriate assistance.

Shabazz was discovered with fatal wounds at Plaza Garibaldi, a popular tourist area packed with bars and restaurants, in the early hours of Thursday, officials said.

Miguel Suarez, a union activist who was travelling with Shabazz, said they had been in the country as part of their efforts to advocate more rights for Mexican construction workers in the US.

Huh? Robbed? Not according to the news article. He hooked up with a bar girl and balked at paying the $1,200 tab. A fight broke out enabling his buddy to escape but he was trapped by his own predilections. Nothing good ever happens after midnight. He wasn’t the sort of fellow the world will miss.

"When he was 12, he was involved in a fire that killed his grandmother....He was convicted of manslaughter and arson"

You are a little more than "involved" when you're convicted of manslaughter. He SET the fire. It seems line he was a little more than "involved" in Mexico, too. He obviously skipped out on the bill, and was beat up by the bouncers.

Killed his own Grandma!

When he was 12, he was started a fire that killed his grandmother Betty Shabazz, the widow of Malcolm X. At a hearing, experts described Malcolm as psychotic and schizophrenic. He was also described as “brilliant but disturbed.” He was convicted of manslaughter and arson and served 18 months in a juvenile detention center. In 2010, Shabazz made the Hajj to Mecca.

By the way, is this guy related to Obama?

So it was the classic, "buy me drink" bar girl scam? His Communist "friends" hauled ass when he needed them most.

These guys lacked street smarts. If Malcolm wasn't hip to the bar girl scam, his Mexican pals certainly should have been.

Heck, the Commies very well may have been in on it.

Yes, I'm sure State will do whatever it can for this loser because he's Muslim and his grandfather was famous. But go into Libya and rescue four Americans besieged by terrorists? Nah! Don't want to hurt the Muzzies’ feelings. Those 4 men weren't Muslim or famous, so who cares about them?

LOL, fwiw, I'm curious as to what the chica looked like. A beer goggle beauty, I'm sure.

Malcolm, my brother, if you find yourself in a foreign country and you're approached by an overly friendly woman insisting you should "party on " with her at a bar of her choosing, dude, it's a scam.

If the bio is correct, the kid wasn't raised by anybody, really. The edge of radicalism—that bohemian, feral, self-indulgent, drunken, sexually libertine world—is an absolutely heartless place to grow up. Pray for him, no kidding. Nobody was there for him, ever. Not that you let people like that run around loose. Obama had the same problem with better grandparents, and he shouldn't be loose, either.

I thought it was bad of them to pile onto the kid's mother just for trying to off the guy who killed her father. Talk about taking out the trash.

Uh huh. So suddenly he's a union organizer? Something there is absolutely no evidence he had any interest in prior to this?

This young guy was DUMPED by both parents and dumped on. Obama was cared for by a grandmother and maybe some commie too? Look at the results? He did a lot better, forgetting about what affirmative action and activists did for him.

Family, even just a grandmother, that loves you, and STABILITY, goes a long way. Certainly the opposite destroys. If Obama had what Biden had...crap, there goes that argument.

Family, stability, and sound moral instruction. Why is our country in really rough shape? Too many more kids than ever lack all three and too many without the latter one are drawn into politics, or vote.
