On any given summer afternoon in America.....there’s probably 500,000 teens walking around in a daze from their two marijuana smokes of the morning. Some will live. Some will die by a car accident, assault, or just walk off a cliff not realizing the potential danger. This is life in 2014. Brown just wasn’t destined to live a long life.
Brown could have easily been shot by the clerk in the store that he robbed minutes before. Someone else posted that Brown was involved in some homicide a year or so earlier, but because he was a minor had his involvement scrubbed. I haven’t seen any corroborating evidence for that, but given the known facts of his recent demise, it sounds probable. He was destined to die an early death.
