Maybe. It looks like he was headed towards a brief career as a hoodlum. He was already spinning the barrel on the loaded gun and pulling the trigger, forgive the metaphor. Unfortunately, the bullet was right under the hammer last year. If he hadn't gotten himself shot while assaulting Zimmerman, odds are he would have encountered other opportunities in the near future where he would have thrown away his life.
No doubt about that - it’s just that George Zimmerman could have just gone to the store that night and not be shattered by all that happened because TM didn’t get punished properly by those who were truly responsible down there in Miamuh.
