The Resume

    (October 8, 1984-May 9, 2013)
    Born in Paris, France
    Grandson of Malcolm X
    Spent four years in juvenile detention for arson and manslaughter (1997-2001)

Why he might be annoying:

    He was committed to a mental hospital for two weeks after hitting his mother, Qubilah Shabazz (February 26, 1997).
    While living with his grandmother, Betty Shabazz, he started a fire in her apartment (June 1, 1997).
    Betty Shabazz suffered burns over 80% of her body and died of her injuries three weeks later.
    He was diagnosed as a paranoid schizophrenic.
    After getting out of juvie, he joined the Bloods.
    He was arrested for stealing $100 (2002) and spent three years in jail.
    He was sent back to prison for a year for violating parole (2008).
    He said, 'Muslims didn't do 9/11. They had nothing to do with 9/11.... The people who were involved in 9/11 were agents of the United States, the CIA or whatever other three letter organizations they have in this country.'

Why he might not be annoying:

    He never knew his biological father.
    The first father figure he bonded with, Michael Fitzpatrick, turned out to be an FBI informant feigning a romantic interest in his mother to gather info about her possible involvement in a plot to assassinate Louis Farrakhan.
    Growing up, he lived at various points with his mother, his grandmother, various aunts and in foster homes. ('All my life, I had been shuttled back and forth, living with this person or that person, never knowing where I was going to lay my head or wake up.')
    He said he never intended to kill his grandmother: he thought she would escape through a rear exit and never imagined she would run through the flames to reach him instead.
    He said, 'To even have a grandmother pass away, of course, it hurts. But to have her pass away based on the actions that I took is even worse.... It is the only regret I have in my life.'
    He was beaten to death in Mexico City in a dispute over a bar tab.
