The media has spun the situation as white officer Wilson shot and killed an 18 year old black teenager.

In fact, by the government's standards, Officer Wilson defended himself against an 18 year old 6'4" 300 pound man which resulted in the man's death.

In this context, the term "teenager" is bullshite.

The "narrative" at work, folks.

Well, the Brown's attorneys refer to him as a child -- like he was running around in diapers.

This is an argument I can get behind.

Some CNN "expert" called him a helpless child... Helpless child robbed a joint and punched an officer twice... pretty ballsy "child"

The media does the same when some cute teacher sits on a 16 or 17 yr olds face. At 16, I had a job and a car, and if I shot someone I'd be tried as an adult

On one of the Sunday shows, Crump, the family lawyer called Brown "a little black boy."

if you are in your teens you are a teenager.

a young man can be, but is not necessarily, a teenager.

its more informative to call him a teenager than it is a young man.

not sure why you are trying to complicate it.
