It is hilarious to me to watch leftists spew this nonsense considering you idiots were calling people like John McCain a "nazi" way back in 2008, yet act like Trump is the one that all of the sudden comes into politics and starts playing the race card.

You and your party are projecting again. I remember in college we had a progressive prof (who I agreed with at the time) who spent almost 7 classes trying to explain the bullshite theory you are throwing around now, and this was the mid 90's. LOLOL

LA had just gone blue for Clinton, and this frick stick was still trying to push this lie. Even staunch dems in the class knew this was bullshite.

Democrats ARE the party of racism and they will always be. 30 years ago when you idiots had Trump on your side you were giving him medals next to Rosa Parks. Now all of the sudden he and his voters are the racists. Good stuff. Let me guess, the people that actually commit 99% of the violence today aren't doing that either. That is somehow republicans too.

Or they’re twin brothers and witnesses were mistaken about which twin confronted him first

The poster I was replying too seemed to say that identity politics was primarily the playbook of the Democrat party, when in fact it’s almost the entirety of what the MAGA movement is built on. In all honesty, it sucks that both sides use it to divide working class people while being corporate tools, but that’s a discussion for another day.



yay. another enlightened OT Moderate who never finds fault with anything on the Left, only the Right.

Making the argument that it's the right that's built on identity politics, not the left is......a bold claim.

And by bold I mean fricking retarded btw.

This is probably closer to the truth than anything. However, it’s irrelevant to the heart of the case. The defense wants to claim self defense and stand your ground, but statutes within the Texas penal code clearly lay out how claims of self defense are lost. You can’t provoke a fight and then claim self defense. It’s laid out in black and white.

I was just stating that a group of people at the same event can have different descriptions of things that happen depending on when they tune into them.

I saw video of HM saying he was 1st to approach Carmelo. I have seen statements saying that they both approached him.

Facts are that no 17 y.o. boy is going to listen to another 17 y.o. boy telling him to leave. 17 y.o. brains aren't mature. An adult should have been there, even if not one of the coaches. Where were parents?

In the bleachers where they are supposed to be. Do you not understand how track meets work?


facts are: even if you don’t agree as a 17-year old with another 17-year old, you don’t get to antagonize him and then stab a knife in his chest when he shoves you.

My nephew wrestled and there were ALWAYS parent chaperones and school employees with the team.

I never said the stabbing was justified but I do believe that the Metcalf brothers weren't just innocent bystanders. I have seen it said that KA was told to leave as many as 15 times. Go get an adult affiliated with the school. I believe they were all jawing back and forth like ALL high school boys do.

Legally they were though. Multiple people asking or telling him to leave the tent is not an unreasonable request. KA not only made the conscious decision that he wasn’t leaving, he repeatedly dared the victim to do something. He dared Austin Metcalf to do something knowing full well he was armed unbeknownst to the victim.

If you really want to split hairs, you could argue that’s premeditation. He was baiting the victim into an altercation where he’d already made up his mind he was going to stab him given the opportunity. Regardless though, Texas penal code is clear. You can’t bait someone into an altercation and then claim self defense.

So you have bought the lie the defense is selling. If this is the case, then

Legally if you were on the jury, you would be helping get the murderer off. Sorry, but that's the truth.

At least 1 of the coaches was there and has already testified earlier in the week.

Well said. “Touch me and see what happens” is 100% goading someone and as you said, bait.
And if I’m on that jury the fact that he had a folding knife in the open position is proof of premeditation.

At least one video I listened to on this indicated it was a switchblade of some type that could be opened very quickly.

The coach wasn't at the tent.

You missed my point.

Giving high school kids perceived or real "authority" to boss other same age kids is stupid.

KA was sitting and talking to a kid named Eddie and minding his own business.

It was said that there is no formal rule that kids can't mingle with other teams.

No one knows what KA was thinking but KA.

Not for or against him. I just know that there is conflicting testimony, one instance is Hunter Metcalf.

Let the court system figure it out

‘Melo could’ done anything that morning, but he got out of bed, put a knife in his bag, and set off to a track meet he wasn’t even partipating in looking to see what kind of trouble he could cause.
