He was talking to someone he knew that attended the school who owned the tent and he was minding his own business.
That exact student testified that it "was weird" for Stabby to be in their team tent.

What I did read is there was no specific rule that students couldn't go talk to other students.
Even Stabby's own coach from Centennial testified that if a student is asked to leave another team's tent, they should leave.

If I came and posted up at your Cracker Barrel table while you and your family are having supper, would I be "minding my own business"?

I am almost certain that 17 y.o. Scruffy wouldn't take direction from another person that age. You take direction from adults, not children.
Anthony’s track and football coach said he would have expected any of his athletes to leave once asked.
He knows it’s usually maintained by athletes and not a coaches hangout, so it would be a student asking another student to leave. He said he wasn’t as strict about it being his team only in their spot (had a lame excuse for not setting area that day), but he acknowledged some teams and coaches were.
In another team’s area when asked to leave and especially when not specifically asked to stay by anyone at the same time (if ever actually asked in the first place) I would have left. I am sure I would have gone out with sarcasm, but I would have left.
That’s not just solely about being respectful as person or student athlete. Thats knowing all these teams and coaches are not just in the same athletic district but in the same school district and in the same city (except for one just outside city limits). Degree of separation is small, and most kids know the info will get to parents or teachers/coaches who will not be happy about behavior. I don’t think Anthony had those concerns.

The next teenager to take the stand was 18-year-old Eddie Parra, the teen who knew Anthony and greeted him as he entered the Memorial tent. He said he wouldn't call Anthony a friend but "someone I knew."
"You know you are the common denominator between Karmelo Anthony and Memorial?" the prosecutor asked. "Yes, sir," he said. "Did you think it was weird that Karmelo Anthony was in your tent?" the attorney asked. "Yeah," Parra said.
He testified that he didn't talk to Anthony for long but never asked him to leave. He recalled Metcalf getting defensive over an outsider being in their tent. He said Metcalf was "always leading… always protecting us."
Parra said Anthony was provoking Metcalf.
He recalled him saying something like, "Touch me. You're going to have to move me." He also saw Anthony put his hand in his bag. Eddie Parra testifies He broke down on the witness stand while testifying about seeing the stabbing.
He admitted to being mad at Anthony because of what happened. Parra agreed with all the other student athletes who have said this case is not about race. He also said Anthony had no reason to stab Metcalf and no cause for self-defense.
quote:
Defense attorney Toby Shook began cross-examining 18-year-old Eddie Parra after the lunch break. He was the teen that Anthony knew sitting under the Memorial track tent. When asked about their friendship, Parra said, "Every now and then we got together."
The defense showed jurors pictures of the two hanging out and pointed out that they got together at least three times over a three-week period. Parra agreed but said he only hung out with Anthony when Anthony's girlfriend was around. He said Anthony's girlfriend was a common friend.
Shook asked Parra why he didn't speak up when his teammates were asking Anthony what he was doing under the tent. "I didn't feel the need to," he said.

If we want to speculate on premeditation, consider this. It was a knife with a folding blade. Based off of the assumption that the knife was folded before the confrontation, at some point he chose to open the knife under the concealment of his back pack. Witnesses also described his arm as appearing to be gripping something. Him repeatedly saying touch me and find out point to being ready to use lethal force as a response to multiple people making a reasonable request that he leave the area. His behavior and the conscious decisions he made to unfold and grip the weapon don’t point to someone in fear for their life. They point to someone who was consciously looking for an excuse to use lethal force. Thats premeditation

I would talk to you, too.
Are you following any of the reporters that are allowed in the courtroom? The evidence of KA's behavior is pretty damning- even from the three defense witnesses called so far.

I'm talking about the other school's tent. Pay attention. If he was supposed to have participated then he should have been with his teammates. Not somewhere he didn't have to be looking for trouble. And he has asked to leave. This wasn't a public park, so he should have left. But being the POS that he is, he didn't and here we are. With, you making up hypotheticals for a murderer.

Why do u keep saying Anthony was supposed to compete at the track meet when he actually was suspended and not competing Red Stick Tigress. Even if he would have been competing he was not a Memorial student and had no business under their tent.

You are clearly trying to find some way to justify any aspect of KA’s actions, up to and including stating that you would tell someone to go to hell if they asked you to leave their tent.
It is extremely odd.

Scruffy obviously if you were Karmelo Anthony Red Stick Tigress would be fine with you stabbing her. If you were Scruffy not so much!

I've been following this- Karmelo was supposed to compete. His coach testified to that.
What he wasn't supposed to do was bring a weapon, invade a tent, refuse to leave, and stab someone.

She has the lack of mental acuity commonly found in the true crime sphere. I'm trying to be nice.

You don't know if he carried that knife all the time or just that day. He was a captain of his school team with a 3.7 GPA
I heard from 2 former neighbors with kids in same HS and grade as Anthony that Anthony showed off a knife he brought to school more than once. He even told some classmates he could get away with murder at Centennial.
His pushed out GPA was weighted which actually isnt that great for FriscoISD.

It is obvious that the coach shouldn't have put a 17 y.o. kid in charge of other 17 y.o. and younger kids.
Someone comes up to me at that age and says you need to leave, I would have said "who the F are you to boss me around?"
FriscoISD isnt EBRSS, and even with recent DEI push after the summer of love Frisco isnt Baton Rouge. The athletes setting up and maintaining the school track tents has been a common practice and wasn’t even controversial until this.
