Storm - you’re wrong. Even if the victim was the aggressor - a knife is a deadly weapon and should only be used if you are faced with deadly force. Clearly Carmelo overreacted, and is wrong in his use of deadly force against the victim.
The real problem is societies efforts at denying the natural aggressiveness of young men. We make all forms of aggression (even positive aggression) bad. We deny the effects of testosterone in its drive in boys and young men for aggressiveness.
We used to have controlled outlets for this aggression in schools with boxing programs, and other sports outlets. Now we only have a zero tolerance policy for any form of aggression. This suppression in society will ALWAYS result in one of two outcomes.
Either the aggressiveness is repressed until the point of overactive aggression (like this instance), or repressed and internalized until self destruction.
Bring back ways for boys and young men to learn how to manage their aggression and you will have healthier outcomes with less violence.
