This is very similar to the Michael Drejka case where someone illegally parked in a handicap parking spot, then became violent when asked to leave.
In America nowadays, you can be attacked at any time, and for anything. Even asking someone in a handicap spot to move, or asking a kid from another school to leave your schools section in a track meet. We need guns, or other means of self-defense more than ever.
"Agreed." I've put in a family order for our M1 Abrams to make the grocery runs, you never know how armed the bad guys are going to be. I did the night vision package with body armor in case they cut electricity in the frozen food section.
Ultimately, my goal is to build up a 25 year stockpile of food and fuel....that way we won't have to risk our lives interacting with anybody live, thus decreasing risk.
Arming for self-defense is reasonable, and know how to use them is critical. Making sure a policy of "Broken Windows" is strictly enforced is necessary. Violence should have strong consequences, no exceptions.
When you are clear about what WILL be done if you break laws works better than just threatening.
Meanwhile I’m cruising 8 Mile in Detroit at 2AM searching for punany and all I have on me in my rental car is a hotel pen.
Call me racist, but if a white kid stabbed and killed a black kid it would be called a hate crime and it would trigger a whole new round of BLM protests and CRT nonsense. Karmelo Anthony (apologies to the NBA great with similar name) is a cold blooded killer who should be held without bond and given a death sentence. There is a reason racial profiling exists - cops are not racist, they’re just playing the odds.
Hey everyone, let's keep that same energy y'all kept with Kyle Rittenhouse.
Karmelo was ganged up on by Austin, the bully, and his twin, the other bully. Those thug twins made Karmelo fear for his life and defend himself in a Stand Your Ground state. Karmelo did nothing wrong, he was defending himself against violent thugs.
#FreeKarmelo
Nope, real talk.
By that logic, every day is a slow day for you. You're always responding to something on here since you clearly have all the time in the world.
Thanks for sharing your latest diary entry. We already knew how you feel about yourself, though.
And I quote,
"When we have a point, a low-effort dismissal is one way to admit you don't have a leg to stand on."
Fine, you disagree with Bambina's point.
And no, I'm not agreeing with her point either.
Idk. It very much looks like this kid went there looking for an excuse. Why was he carrying a knife to a High School track event in the first place? Why did he intentionally station himself in another team's tent and then refuse to leave when asked?
Then, the second another kid laid a hand on him to move him out of the tent, BAM!
Again, IDK. Whenever a self-defense case comes up, the facts and circumstances matter. I think this kid went there trying to engineer this altercation. We'll know more as additional details surface, but I don't think this kid is going to have a credible self-defense case.
Did Metcalf even get physical with the guy? One article mentioned he grabbed his backpack.
Kyle rittenhouse was a totally different situation. Those protesters wanted to blow up a car dealership, rittenhouse knew the owners and was there to defend property.
Karmelo had no reason to be at another school’s tent. It doesn’t look like he was there to talk to friends, he wasnt there to defend property. Some are saying its “public property”, but public schools can remove you from their property for a variety of reasons.
I think Metcalf was attacked due to jealousy more than anything else. I dont know much about him but it seems like he was a star football player. Karmelo probably felt jealous of the fact he was white and doing better at football than he was.
Icey i said anybody should have the right to attack anyone thats stealing or scamming. Its not some special rule specific to strip club robbers. There can be some exceptions like a homeless person stealing some cheap food items or clothing.
Also there was no robbery in this news story
Left wing extremists like yourself believe minorities can always attack whites for trivial reasons, women can attack men, strippers can attack clients, gangsters can attack cops, etc.
I think a lot of the facts coming out are showing that Metcalf was the clear aggressor along with his twin. It also is good for the defense that Metcalf and his twin were both significantly bigger than Anthony, and I believe if he has a good defense attorney he will walk. Maybe a small charge for having a knife on school property.
His bond was reduced to $250,000, so it's no surprise he was released with GPS tether and on a strict house arrest. Hopefully the judge and the defendant's family have some security, lots of racists in Texas want this kid hung without due process.
Not released yet* (at least I don't think), but he is expected to be released soon as his family seems somewhat well to do.
I dont disagree that theres racists who want black people hung without due process, but for the last 15+ years, theres a lot more racists who want white people hung without due process.
If the races were reversed in this scenario you would have millions of BLM protesters saying the black person is innocent no matter what, and has the right to attack or kill white people.
We also have the situation of Michael drejka which, predictably, the same people backing Anthony in this scenario, refuse to back Drejka in that scenario because he was white.
Self defense only allows you to use force dependent on how you were attacked and if more attacks are incoming. You cant stab and kill someone because of a minor shove or grabbing your backpack. The other thing is Anthony wasnt authorized to be at that location. Normally, you can absolutely use force to remove someone from a place they arent supposed to be at. In this case they were on school grounds, which is public property. But just because its public property doesnt automatically mean you cant use force to remove someone from it. Even with public property there are situations you can use force to remove someone:
Still. Its completely hypothetical for anyone who supports BLM to be involved in the debate over public vs private property. If the races were reversed there would be major protests and property damage even if Metcalf was arrested
I can't imagine any reasonable jury not convicting this kid. He clearly went there looking for an excuse. Otherwise why was he carrying a knife to a High School track event in the first place? Why did he intentionally station himself in another team's tent and then refuse to leave when asked?
The two kids had never met before. Their first interaction ever was when Anthony intentionally put himself where he didn't belong and then refused to leave. He was obviously trying to provoke a confrontation. Then, when another kid took the bait and laid a hand on him to move him out of the tent, BAM!
Idk, we shall see, but IMO this kid is toast, notwithstanding his bail reduction.
^i dont know on the jury, supposedly in some cases BLM protesters stand outside courthouses to intimidate people. If the jury isnt anonymous, people can be intimidated into voting a certain way. The racial differences and size differences will also be used to argue he was in fear for his life
'Karmelo Anthony is going to, as they said in Office Space, "pound me in the ass prison."'
I hope you have lube, then, in this fantasy of yours.
Now that Karmelo has been released, his family will use the $430,000 raised in donations to get a new house and security. Good for them!
They dont deserve a penny of that money, lol. A new house because your kid stabbed someone. All these kinds of things do is encourage black families to raise their kids to be violent with cops or others. Especially if yoi look at the george floyd or many other fundraisers where millions were raised. It seems they incentivize black families more so than others because the daniel shaver gofundme page only raised like $50,000, even though it was opened years before floyds and that killing was more unjustified than a lot of the BLM instances.
Icey its true that it was raining and he could have been under the tent to seek cover, at the same time there were reports of him talking trash in the tent, and that was the reason he was apparently asked to leave. He was supposedly creating some kind of nuisance. Schools are public property yet you can still be removed from them for being a nuisance or engaging in offensive speech. Im not sure of the legalities and technicalities behind it but you dont have all the same freedoms on a public school property that you would on a public sidewalk. So you can’t really say that he cant be removed from the tent because its public property
You cant go hang around at a random school just for fun. If you mind your manners you could probably get away with it. Its the same with anthony being at another schools tent. He could have been removed just simply for not being part of that school, if he was just seeking cover from the rain or there to talk to friends from another school, he shouldn’t have also been a nuisance. It looks like he was there to troll. Im not saying he didnt have free speech rights but they had the right to remove him from the tent for any reason for the same reason you can be kicked out of any school you arent attending. And even if you were at your own school you could still face consequences for being a nuisance in class or at an assembly or sporting event.
I don’t have an opinion on whether or not he’s guilty, but I do believe, if that money was donated to him to help with his defense, and it isn’t needed, it should be returned or donated to someone else who is in similar circumstances. Keeping that money is wrong and doesn’t look very good.
^ I wouldn't say the left, seems to me the criminality is pretty equally distributed, but yep our society as a whole, seems to developing a criminal bent. Seems to me that everyone thinks if they can get away with it, it's cool. Was not like this when I grew up, things tat were wrong were pretty clear cut, no so any more, the line is no longer bright and clear.
^regarding Luigi Mangione, its obviously illegal what he did but as far as morally and ethically speaking its a different question. Big pharma is probably one of the most corrupt industries out there right now, and a lot of their profits are made via false advertising, defrauding people, marketing and selling products to people that do more harm than good, etc. its somewhat of a similar case to scammers/robbers being beat up, or pedos being beat up… I dont know much about the united ceo but i know that in an industry like the pharma industry its possible to exist legally while also being corrupt and morally reprehensible. Theres debate over for instance covid vaccines and even other ones causing blood clots and other health harms.
I dont think selling harmful substances is inherently wrong, but thats where advertising and integrity comes into play, they should be genuinely open and honest as far as potential side effects instead of referring to things as life saving or important to use
Lol^
Anthony was just indicted by the Grand Jury for first degree murder. Not manslaughter. Not second degree. There’s video tape evidence which I’m guessing was pretty damning and showed no self defense.
