FTFY, Ms. Fat Lame.A murder when it's a black kid. When it's a white kid, it's self-defense.

All excellent points...@TOP - please note the above. Most conversations, especially those amongst leftists, fabricate accounts of events that are not known. Notice how christiefan915 and ThatOwlCoward pretend to have been right there witnessing the event first hand. Nobody knows whether Metcalf took any matters into his own hands. Nobody knows that Metcalf didn't like to see Anthony in his tent. Nobody knows whether or not Metcalf sought someone with authority. Nobody knows that either Metcalf or Anthony said "Touch me and see what happens." Nobody knows that Metcalf tried to remove anyone. Nobody knows much beyond Anthony having stabbed Metcalf and that Anthony was in the wrong tent. Anthony's being in the wrong tent might not have had anything to do with why Anthony stabbed Metcalf. For all anyone knows, the two of them were practicing a knife-throwing act for an upcoming carnival. Nobody knows ... except for the omniscients here on JPP and around the world engaging in stupidly wild speculation.
Anthony is young and this is his first felony. He will likely get out of prison and still have a life to live. Sadly Metcalf we have no more life to live. What a waste. I'm amazed at how little control some people have over their emotions.All excellent points...
You are correct... There are multiple versions of the incident.... And the speculations here are wild indeed.... But then they always are.... And that will never change on JPP...
Race Derangement and Syndromes of all types flood this board... people refusing to consider and
accept the truth Because that would mean admitting that they were wrong in their initial reactions....Example? Even though the Daniel Penny Has been acquitted in our justice system there are those here who Still refuse to accept what actually happened.... in this most recent case the truth will come out eventually as well... but the end result Is always going to be the same... two lives unnecessarily lost.... On that we should all agree....Sadly that's not likely to happen around here though...
Anthony will still have to live with the fact that he took the life of another young man, no matter what the actual prison sentence is, living with that knowledge is a life sentence...for his family as well. It is a terrible tragedy...and so avoidable... Simple Common sense and there would have been a track meet instead of a murder and a trial...I don't know what can be done about the lack of self control...Teens tend to have a short fuse...but public skirmishes are usually easily broken up.... when there's no weapon at hand...Anthony is young and this is his first felony. He will likely get out of prison and still have a life to live. Sadly Metcalf we have no more life to live. What a waste. I'm amazed at how little control some people have over their emotions.
If the races were switched, they'd be singing a different tune.
Why do u ignore this part of the law
Under Texas law u cant claim self defense if u provoke the use of force
There are certain situations where self-defense is not a defense strategy. These include when the defendant:
- provoked the victim’s use of force and did not abandon the encounter.2
Because the killer is black?
Sad but true.Of course they would. They thought the mentally ill, yelling, homeless guy on the subway deserved death. Of course, he wasn't white. Imagine if a Black man had choked to death a White mentally ill homeless guy who was acting "crazy." They'd STILL be screaming about it. Their racism is so ingrained in them that they can't even see it anymore.
And u would still be calling the white boy racist for stabbing himIf the races were switched, they'd be singing a different tune.

Not if he was defending himself against attack, dumbass. No wonder your people are losers in life. They're all retarded.And u would still be calling the white boy racist for stabbing him
I rest my case...
Yes, not a provocation. It would only seem one to an asshole with anger issues.Telling someone "Touch me and see what happens" is not a threat. It is not a provocation. It is a warning. If you got into some woman's face at Walmart and she said that to you, would you grab her anyway? If so, you'd be guilty of assault and if she pulled a gun out of her purse and shot you, you'd deserve it and she wouldn't be convicted of your murder.
The whole store would no doubt cheer. lol
"mutual combat?" "fighting words?"Telling someone "Touch me and see what happens" is not a threat. It is not a provocation.

Like all neo-Nazis and anti-American foreigners, vols isn't very bright. He might have ADHD.You have difficulty staying on task, don't you?
Exactly. Someone was trying to act like a big tough man to impress the other males and it backfired badly.
