Wow, words don’t meet the need here. As a parent who traveled his son to years of competitions, I can’t start to imagine the devestation. God Bless them. Eliminate the animal.

Democrats and their Rent-a-Mob will be protesting against the first-degree murder charges against the killer. Racism, ya know.

I am trying to envision how this happened in terms of why the guy went berserk. White jock disrepects him by telling him to get out and he pulls out of knife to show him he wont be disrespected???

its so senseless. all of it.
multiple lives destroyed forever because of violence

The murder victim’s father’s response is shocking and ultimately will only encourage more of this feral behavior by “teens”.

Well, one of my grandfathers, a Sicilian, was named Carmelo, but I don’t know of any others since…

Fatherlessness probably has a big impact.

There are Black hip-hop artists who say they are drugged and raped on tape and then always controlled by the heads of their recording label. Several others - one of them part of the record production team who was present at the meeting - wrote that a meeting was called where everyone was forced to sign a NDA, and it was revealed that the recording label had purchased stock in private prisons and in order to keep the prisons at the required capacity the hip-hop artists were told they must create music that glorified crime and violence. The intent was to foment Blacks to have a culture of violence.

And it worked. Anybody who speaks against the content of the music is considered racist.

There are bigger problems within any culture that would accept this as the defining feature of a whole people. Same kind of stuff that lures gang members. It will keep on until Blacks rise up and say that is NOT what it means Tobe Black.

Bringing a knife to a track meet leads me to believe this teen was looking to stab someone that day.

As much as I would not blame Mr Metcalf for his own death, someone (his mush-brain soft christian parents?) didn’t teach him some of the basics of dealing with feral people.

He likely made the terrible mistake of thinking that because he wasn’t racist, that would mean something when interacting with feral racism.

The BLM message in 2020 was that only black lives matter. Remember a woman in Indiana was killed for saying "All Lives Matter."

What a sad happening. Some level of fatal disrespecting must have been felt by the stabber in that he felt free to let loose by stabbing the victim in the chest near the heart with wanton disregard for fatal effects, or perhaps that was directly the intent to kill for that perceived disrespecting?
Where I live in Michigan, Spring always brings a number of very violent incidents where young men’s’ fancies turn to settling the past Winter’s disrespecting’s, often with fatal consequences.

So, buy your logic the rest of us should be unarmed and hope that everyone there follows the law. IOW, we are defenseless.

Same stupidity that happened on the Luby’s restaurant shooting in Waco Texas back in the 80’s and everywhere else innocent people are injured or killed by someone who has a weapon. Police cannot protect you and are not, by law, required to do so.

No thanks, if I can’t carry there I don’t go.

Prayers up for the family, especially the victim’s twin brother having to watch with horror as brother bled to death.

This murder is sick, tragic, depressing, and infuriating.

This low impulse control piece of crap needs to be tried, convicted, and put down. Have to question if it was premeditated- a serious and competitive runner doesn’t bring a knife to a race.

“As a parent, your guidance and support will be important in helping your child process grief. Talking about this together, face-to-face, will give you a chance to discuss how your family understands and copes with loss. You may also want to discuss with your child how to be a supportive friend to classmates,” Fesco wrote.

“This loss might remind your student of past losses as well. The most important thing you can do is provide your child a chance to be heard and to express their feelings.”

Such utter bs. This is why psychology is the doofus of the sciences and we have a country full of pansies. It is amazing that generations before these last two weak one’s survived countless wars and turmoil to build the greatest coutry in the world and did it without counseling.

I believe that particular incident occurred in Killeen... not Waco.
