HS track athlete stabbed & killed at track meet; suspect found guilty of murder

[Freeman]

Coaches said there was no rule that Melo had to goul

Well he stayed and stood on it. Now what?

 

[RandomOne]

So no actual punches thrown. Just a shove then he stabbed him? If that's how it actually went down then Karmelo was cooked from jump and the escalation of force made self defense null and void unfortunately

Correct sadly

They need to start putting their political stance next to their names, so motherfuckers can see how folks from both sides look at black kids.

Motherfuckers thing the Dems are the nice white folks, and the Reps are the devils when all these motherfuckers are the same.

Malcolm been said the shit.

Shit don't make no dayum sense. Man this shit hurt, this one stung real bad. Last week it was the Asian, and you got motherfuckers around here 2-3 months ago on some "vote to save everybody" shit.

Man this one hurts.

Tell that to the dead kid enforcing shit that shouldn't be enforced.

Do you think he deserved to die for that?

Y'all saying Melo should have had restraint but where was the restraint from the other side. Mercalf escalated shit

It ain't about what I think, Melo felt threatened and did what he thought he had to do. Putting your hands on someone you don't know how they will react.

That doesn't justify stabbing anyone much less killing them. We're talking about children. Stabbings and death shouldn't be on the table.

Was talking with my homeboy about this yesterday and I said this was the perfect conflation of white folks inherent idea that they control public spaces and the inherent nature of a 17 year old not thinking their actions through fully.

Neither should bullying. Dude wouldn't have pressed Melo if he wasn't bigger than him.

Both made bad decisions. Now one is dead and one is going to prison.

We're talking in circles.

I think I remember reading that a tent was 6ft away. IF Melo just walked away then the only thing hurt would be his pride/ego. He apparently only knew of the one person and the witness said he only knew him from an ex girlfriend even though there were a few photos

One is dead because of his own actions and the other locked up because of racism

Why should he move? Who made Metcalf the authority over the tent?

You gotta remember these 2 dudes backgrounds not like yours and one is white. No shade.

They wont understand

They don't get it.

Seriously?

Seriously?

Was there a rule stating Melo couldn't be under the tent? Did he break a rule being there?

Nope but would you stay in a place where you only really know of one person (who didn't speak up for you) and you only knew him because of an ex?

You seem to get focused on small details of the case and ignore the entire picture
