Just when race relations and tensions couldn’t get any worse, the generational animosity that Blacks have for whites is palpable to the point that when Scott Adams claimed to just don’t associate with blacks any longer seems to bear some semblance of common sense. That is not to say that all Blacks are the same, but in this case its hard not to look at culture and failed parenting as primary causes for societal and mulit-culture failures.
Just in case you haven’t heard about this story, is one of a track star who had his entire life ahead of him until an altercation at a Texas high school ended his life.
Austin Metcalf was fatally stabbed by Karmelo Anthony after being asked to leave a team tent where supposedly an altercation ensued resulting in Anthony pulling out a knife and stabbing Metcalf in the heart.
Based on initial reports and details about what happened, eyewitnesses who were there and watched this tragic event unfold in shock, said that Anthony after asked to leave the tent told and dared Metcalf to touch him to see what happens and that is when Karmelo Anthony pulled out a knife and Stabbed Austin Metcalf. Why this particular detail is important in this case is because Anthony’s defense strategy is going to be to claim that his actions were in self defense, when evidence and eyewitness testimony will certainly contradict that claim. Because Anthony is 17 when he murdered Metcalf, under Texas law the prosecutors can not seek the dealth penalty nor life without parole which is conflicting when considering the details of this case. Add further insult to injury is Anthony’s bail was recently reduced from $1,000,000 Million Dollars to $250,000 where he was released under house arrest.
This is another case in which the nation has recently taken interest in due to the nature of a narrative that its Blacks vs. White justice where the ghosts of OJ Simpson seem to follow such sensationalized stories. Not this time, when vengeance seems to be in the waters for some, and likely would entertain the idea that Karmelo Anthony should be hanged with rope swinging from a tree. The tragedy here however is that two kids who made bad choices will both suffer the consequences; one with their life taken and the other who will spend a lot of years in prison and the guilt of having killed someone. Both lives ruined over a dumb dispute over a territorial seat, which could have been avoided.
Where were the adults?
