he grandson of US political activist Malcolm X has died in Mexico City following a fight in a bar, say Mexican officials.

Malcolm Shabazz, 29, succumbed in hospital to multiple injuries he suffered on Thursday.

Mexico's attorney general's office said an investigation into the incident was under way.

The US state department said that it was in contact with the family and offering appropriate assistance.

Shabazz was discovered with fatal wounds at Plaza Garibaldi, a popular tourist area packed with bars and restaurants, in the early hours of Thursday, officials said.

Miguel Suarez, a union activist who was travelling with Shabazz, said they had been in the country as part of their efforts to advocate more rights for Mexican construction workers in the US.

Shabazz got the Shabizz.

Mexico is no place for American radicals who think they are tough. Mexico will bore them new AHs , chew them up and spit their bleeding hearts out onto the pavement stones of the Maya.Its an uncivilized nation with a very thin veneer of civility, as America under a Shabazz parallel tough , Barrak Hussein Obama, is about to find out.

Wait for the first Shabbaz Blvd to avoid? Bet it will be in Detroit or Chicongo.

Don't know much about this Shabazz. It is unfortunate that his "brotha",

anotha M. Shabazz, was not with him in Mexico.

[Tanniker Smith]

Well that’s just sad. A bar fight in a foreign country? Not a great way to go. Prayers to the family.

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

[stormhill]

In his youth, he set a fire that caused the death of his grandmother...

I remember the event. So, this was that brat?

[leaning conservative]

No way can he think that play suit w/ fake medals looks good. Can he??????

I remember Plaza Garibaldi from 1961. It was a mariachi band place. My new bride and I walked up there, 4 or 5 blocks, from our hotel. We spent a little time in a bar there, paid for a song by a small mariachi combo. Finally we began to feel a little uneasy as the only gringos in the place, and walked back to the hotel.

I guess those days are gone forever.

Yes.

Shabazz was the son of one of Malcolm X’s six daughters, Qubilah Shabazz.

When he was 12, he was involved in a fire that killed his grandmother Betty Shabazz, the widow of Malcolm X.

He was convicted of manslaughter and arson and sentenced to time in a juvenile detention centre.

Every picture I saw when I googled Plaza Garibaldi had a mariachi band in it.

I've resolved that the next Mariachi band I run into, I'll pay them to play a Paraguayan song just to see what comes of it; next, I'll offer to pay them to not play "Cielito Lindo."

[Bigg Red]

I guess Trotsky didn’t warn him about Mexico.

Perfect union official resume’.

Then I’d probably be crazy and bad too if everyone I knew had weird fake names and lived like feral dogs.

[Gritty]

Malcom Shabazz is just another feral youth who turned into a feral adult - after murdering his own grandmother.

Nobody will either mourn or miss the savage punk. Well, maybe the Black Muslim criminal gangs will...

Assistance? Really? Why? More of my tax dollars down the drain.

[bgill]

Qubilah Shabazz. Now if that’s not proof of naming a kid from a bowl of alphabet soup, I don’t know what is.

“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.

Your first paragraph perfectly describes most black yuts in America. No damn wonder they are criminal in a low rent crime ridden black culture.
