Dear old young Mr. Anthony was a WANNABE. He lives in a nice neighborhood, where NO gangs exist. I'm unfamiliar with the schools involved,so I am assuming nothing about them, nor whom the murderer may or may NOT associate with outside of or inside of school; though some of his classmates claimed that he was always looking for a fight; supposedly.
I know someone who sort of knows the family ( at least where they live ), I've seen two of his FB page photos. And unlike many posters here and on other places, I ONLY post the factual knowledge I have and a very few opinions, based on what I have seen from reliable source material.
There are a LOT of outright lies, HOAXES, and crazy assumptions being posted, right now. I just hope that he gets his just desserts/punishment and the the FACTS are finally made known.
In my opinion, based on what I know, he went looking for trouble, instigated it, murdered someone IN COLD BLOOD, and in doing so, ruined many lives, including his own.
His carrying a concealed knife capable of putting a deadly hole in another person’s heart tends to support your opinion that he was looking for trouble.
Who knows what accounts are true, but the Daily Mail article claimed that the arrest report said that at one point he said something to the effect of “Touch me and see what happens.” That is a dare. From the time he left for the competition with that hidden knife in the bag, to the time he went under a different team’s awning (who does that?) to the time he dared the other guy to touch him, he was aggressively pursuing a fight. If his classmates say this is what he was like, his actions that day match what they say about him.
Why was he like that? He was a star athlete; he shouldn’t have had an inferiority complex or need to prove himself. If he wasn’t pursuing a gang in real life why was he wanting to be a gangsta online and go looking for fights in real life? Seems like the left’s normal excuses (poverty, discrimination, police brutality, no hope for the future) don’t work for his story. Why did he choose to seek out wanton violence?
I wonder what artists he listened to and how much. And I wonder if he’s been tested for substances.
