The Stabbing Of Austin Metcalf by Carmelo Anthony.

I did not place this in the Political Forum, even though it is turning 100% political.

Was it self defense, or murder. Or something lesser.

One boy is dead, one’s life is hanging in the balance.

Lawyers will get paid. (Go-Fund-Me), poverty pimps and white supremest will line up on each side, and the rest of us can hope that cooler heads prevail.

“The rest of us?”

Uhhhhmmmm
Op
Can you clarify topic?

No one can really say. Only that it is a terrible tragedy. 2 high school boys at a track event.


One ends up dead. One likely to be in prison.

Uhhhhmmmm

Anyone who criticizes Carmelo will be accused of racism.

Carmelo should have brushed up on the State of Texas self defense laws before he stuck that knife in his backpack and then stuck it in another person’s heart.

... 'Melo's family has used the "fund-me money" that was for
barristers - for renting a big house in a gated community
and a new car. ... 'Melo should be headed to prison for
10 or 20 years or so.

Well Carmelo didn’t wanna leave the tent that want his. Why’d he run after stabbing him? He didn’t wanna move. He brought a knife to a track meet. Bet he wishes he’d left it home, now.

Looks like no one wants to answer the topic

Oddly enough, nothing being said about or from witnesses. Does he have a solid claim to self defense? If so, what did the other kid do to make him fear for his life? If not....then homicide. What kind...to be determined.

A lot will depend on a Courts interpretation of the Texas Stand Your Ground Laws.

Why is anyone surprised by this? Staff Edit - #2 - Derogatory racial remarks are simply unacceptable, period. Disrespect another's ethnic background and you will most certainly regret it. - Biomed1
