When I was a teenager I did all that shit too with my group of buddies.

Took baseball bats to mailboxes. Shoplifted candy out of the 7-11. Smoked a LOT of pot. Etc., etc.

That's what young guys running around in packs do.

Then you grow up.

That's why I have said that I don't put anything past a young man. At 17 they can be very, very dangerous.

TM was pretty tame from everything I've seen of his "bad" behavior.
He wasn't close to being as "bad" as I was at that age...and I was considered pretty "good" compared to the shit that the real "bad" kids did in my school.

I think that when he grew out of that phase then whatever his intelligence level is would dictate what the rest of his life would be. If he was smart (and no, school grades don't always reflect that) then he may have had a very successful life.
At minimum he would have probably been like millions of other people and had a job, a wife, and kids 10 years from now.

I think all of us respectable people know that chances are Trayvon was going to grow up to be a piece of shit and was already on the path to being so.

And when I say Trayvon wasn't going to produce any positive news items, I meant, IN HIS FUTURE, as in, in the fullness of time. Not just because he was a youth.
