Since you asked, I’ve been thinking about this horror since it was reported. I believe he went in knowing he wanted to stick someone. He wasn’t welcomed, he had a bad azz attitude, he was outnumbered, he wouldn’t leave when asked, he was threatening and he made good on it and as evidence showed the sticking wasn’t warranted. He wasn’t there to steal because he was exposed right away. He wasn’t there to rip-off but to shiv him a cracker. This is the mind of a subhuman thug.
Someone testified today that his team did not have a tent and tried to get out of the rain in a dugout, but a coach told them to get out of that, so they went to the tent. According to court TV.
The tent has no sides. It is an awning.

They also said he skipped his physical therapy appointment to go to the meet he wasn’t participating in.
It’s irrelevant that ‘his’ team didnt have a tent, also irrelevant that he might have been seeking shelter from any rain. No one else tried forcing themselves into area that they know is reserved for team members. It’s also irrelevant that that it didnt have sides, trying to make an irrelevant point while it’s been called a tent by all the outlets. Maybe you should be a defense attorney and try to get a murderer acquitted because prosecutors used the wrong overhead description, good luck with that. Your defense thus far has been seriously lacking and so was Anthony’s attorneys while the Prosecution was very enlightening.

Okay, we'll just call it premeditated murder.

Agree! Better yet. Put him on ignore let him argue with himself.
The lounge isn’t the place to get political anyway.

That's an odd conclusion. I was saying that it didn't appear to be an attempt at theft.
If it was. Generally bar fights and the like aren't. In court you'd have to show motive and evidence of premeditation. Usually having a multitool isn't good evidence of the latter. Pretty clearly 2nd degree, though.
There was testimony that he was in one or two events.
I'm sorry, you seem to be confused. I was pointing out that theft didn't seem to be the motive for going under the awning because he would have been seen and he didn't plan to go to the tent.
That has nothing to do with murder, except that I disagree that he was there mainly for theft. You did read the post about theft, right?

The issue is assuredly not white racism. The hate mob protesting outside the Frisco courthouse, and the hate mob that raised hundreds of thousands of dollars for Anthony's defense, and the hate mob Anthony has for a family . . . that's the racism we should be worried about.

Ok, I'm going to play devil's advocate on this matter, i.e. supposedly (?) the Titans -Kamelo's school team- didn't have a tent or any other immediate cover for their players. So, where did the rest of his team go to get out of that weather, hmmm. That being said, in my opinion under the rules of HS "Sportsmanship" any player should be welcomed under any team tent/shelter/etc. - - - so long as they do not purposely create an issue. Merely going into other teams' shelter, while understandably not normal or welcome, this is a "student/player safety" issue in and of itself. Now, with that out of the way, even if Anthony was asked by numerous players to leave no one should have tried to force him out. Cooler heads must prevail. So long as he doesn't provoke a physical confrontation he should be allowed under the shelter. However, once merely pushed to leave Anthony should have either sat down or left. Anthony then did the unthinkable and escalated this incident to a level of Murder when he consciously chose to pull a knife and purposely stab Austin. In conclusion, under the criminal statues of Texas law = "Guilty of Murder" ( . ) There rarely seem to be any winners in these cases

I think prayers for the family are more than in order and I agree. But none of this is off point.
A murderous thug — somehow believing that he had the right to wantonly kill someone (having been given that belief perhaps through racial or cultural rhetoric or his upbringing) killed that son. Perhaps Carmelo is just bad; perhaps it’s learned behavior. Whatever. Such a person can’t be allowed to be out in public nor can people who act like he did with a similar mentality. Otherwise there’ll be another event like this with another family dealing with a tragedy.
The fact of the matter is both are relatively close to each other and all of them aren’t that far from where I live (and in the same general area). Or where my son goes to school for that matter.
Why do you folks get down on RX-79G? I hear what he/she is saying and it appears many here are making assumptions and showing some bias... I understand the frustration as explained that some people in that area are over reacting, trying to make it another George Floyd wish is an astronomical stretch for sure, just like some of the posters here are showing their prejudices.. ... I hope it was obvious in my post calling the jock a cracker bully and the defendant buckwheat was obviously taking assumptions to the extreme... I was pointing out later that what I did was read the exerts from the prosecutions first day witnesses... I still don't think it is premeditated murder... prove to me he put the knife in his pack with the intent to kill someone and I'll agree, obviously some stupid kid/young adult that lost it and made the biggest mistake of his and the jock's life... sad in many ways.

For those who don't know, the Collin County courthouse is in a rather rural setting just north of US 75 and Highway 380. It's in a large green belt with not much around it. If there is a guilty verdict, the way the perimeter is set up, they pretty much have the protesters kettled up. While the Sheriff's department doesn't play, it will be interesting to see how they respond. Hopefully, their masters will not have a tight leash. If there is any rioting, I expect it to be minor and limited to McKinney and Frisco. Dallas downtown is pretty much sealed off with security for the World Cup soccer games. It appears most of the protesters are from out of town and out of state.
I'm a little slow to this party, but ain't nobody blaming the knife

I was responding to this post.
This is no different than blaming a gun. I’ve had a knife with me since I was pre teen, I’ve never been unsportsmanlike. I’ve never committed a crime with it much less a murder.Ahhhhh, nothing screams "Sportsmanship" like bringing a knife to a HS track meet..... but then, I guess this track meet was merely a prelude to eluding the cops . . . . .
Having the knife while it was against the rules, isn’t the issue. The issue is what he did with it.
I would think people on a gun forum would understand that.
Geez.
The dude should not have had a knife in the first place on school property.
Yes, I know that some of you carried a knife everywhere. But in 1950 it was not an issue. In 2026 it is.
Maybe the black guys a thug. Maybe the white guy was an ass.
Either way there was no reason for the kid to be there, with a knife, not in his own tent, and if he wasn't participating in the meet he shouldn't have been there in the first place.
Some of y'all need help.

I don't see that... I suspect some here would call me the same when I disagree with them... now I have seen some post recently that are kind of interesting but not from this guy... these read like someone in their mothers basement watching too much network TV. Almost like the famous post 20+ years ago by the mall cop.. what was his name Gecko45 or such?
Example... the guy who's getting ticketed for growing tomatoes in his back yard and the cop who wrote the ticket is having sex with the witch up the street or another member who has a bounty on his head for something to do with kitty litter....
Maybe it's just me and the pain meds I'm currently on.
Duly noted that "relatively close " is your standard about false information.
What city or county in Texas do you reside ?

You start off by saying “nobody is blaming the knife”. Then go in to say “he shouldn’t have had the knife”.
Essentially blaming the knife. I guess my point is, having the knife didn’t mean he went there to commit murder. Possessing the knife doesn’t equate to pre meditation.
We don’t need more knife laws anymore than we need more gun laws.
Your 1950’s guess is off by several decades. People carry knives everywhere even now.

I still don't understand how you got to that point because NOBODY said the knife was at fault. It was stated that the guy should not have brought a knife to a track meet, and that is a fair point, because, as previously pointed out, knives are prohibited on school property.
