Now I know why his name sounded familar:

“He was murdered. He was in Mexico City and I believe they attempted to rob him and he didn’t allow it, so they beat him to death and he died on his way to the hospital,” Juan Ruiz, a member of the California-based labor organization Rumec, told TPM. “This is all I can confirm, everything else is under investigation for the meantime.”

Shabazz is the son of Qubilah Shabazz, who was the second daughter of Malcolm X and Betty Shabazz. In his youth, he set a fire that caused the death of his grandmother. For that crime, he pleaded guilty to manslaughter, was found guilty of arson, and was sentenced to 18 months in a juvenile detention facility.

Shabazz continued to have trouble with the law throughout his life, The New York Times reported. He pleaded guilty to attempted robbery in 2002 and was sentenced to three and a half years in prison. Just months after his release in 2006, he was arrested again, this time for punching a hole in a store window.

Shabazz is survived by his mother and two daughters.

Two daughters, but no wife? What, did he burn her up too?

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.

If Obama had had a son, would he have acted just like Shabazz?

“RUMEC is an acronym for Revolutionary United Mexicans in Combat, fighting corporate oppression, ignorance and poverty through construction.” Commies, Commies, and more Commies, of the Atzlan persuasion.
