Yeah, lot’s of people carry a knife. I doubt if he was looking for a reason. People carry because they are afraid.
Then they get into a fix and it seems like an answer.

And kids are notorious for poor impulse control. As is on display with the victim and the killer.

And now at every track meet and football game in Texas people will have to file through some TSA checkpoint. It’s moronic.

You are right, him having a knife was a root cause. Another root cause was the victim walking up and picking a fight.

So just sit back and enjoy it iows...you first.

Kids who were in the tent believed the murderer was casing the tent. Scoping out back packs to steal. Kids at track meets put everything in those packs. Wallets, phones, money, air pods, expensive head phones. Everything. That’s why they asked Austin to step in and get the kid to leave.

Another root cause was the victim walking up and picking a fight.

Why do you keep saying that? I've read that the stabber kid started talking sh*t to the Metcalf boy's mother when she asked him to leave.

From that version of events, Stabber boy started the fight.

“’I’m not alleged. I did it,’ Anthony, who is also a high school football star, reportedly told cops as he was taken into custody.”

That was nice of him. Now we can hang his nasty ass tomorrow. And the decent people in that town won’t feel bad about burning his house down with his family inside.

Nope... but I don’t walk up and start disputes over nothing. A little polite respect goes a long way... even with 99% of bad guys.

And this is especially true with some people out there just looking to be offended.

There is a saying that an armed society is a polite society. Wonder how the victim might have acted if he realized that at that moment, he was approaching a guy with a knife?
There is a lesson here for those willing to learn it.

I see it differently. I think all of us have evil within us, wholly accessible were the right conditions to exist.

And for different humans, it is a different set of right conditions.

And I don’t believe that difference is between races or countries or tribes. At a fundamental level, those differences exist even between two genetically identical humans beings.

And that is where culture comes in. We are susceptible to that and we have to fight it. That is why we are here.

We were here to be humans, not animals.

And Humans can fight evil that exists, where animals largely cannot, because in most cases Animals don’t likely see evil the same way Humans do. In the end, those who cannot tamp down the evil within are...Animals.s

It is a dividing line between us. And we do have human “animals” living and breathing with us in this human world. That is not a comforting thought.

But is is who we are, IMO.

read #43, maybe Austin wasn’t trying to pick a fight as you think.

Coaches shoulda had control over all the kids under tents, but who knows with rain added into the mix.

[DesertRhino]

He was under the tent, and it was raining. Mom should have STFU. And the other kid who got stabbed decided to enforce it. So yes, he or the woman picked the fight.

This was a stupid confrontation.

[Lurker]

In a rational society that feral piece of garbage would already have been hanged by the neck until dead and the decent folk would have burned his home to the ground with his family inside.

[DesertRhino]

Yeah, murder his family. That’s a what a rational society would do. Any other great ideas?

[b4me]

did you read 43? other kids thought Anthony may be scoping out other peoples backpacks, up to no good.

Coaches shoulda been supervising. The mom tried to do some thing. I don’t know why #43 seems to say others were maybe telling Austin to try to get Anthony to leave.

This isn’t about a kid sitting out the rain in wrong tent, it’s about teens thinking Anthony was up to no good.

I don’t know the truth but, at least trying to get details, instead of stuck on thinking Anthony was just a good kid who happened to sit under wrong tent, didn’t want to get all wet in the rain to go to right tent and just happened to pull a knife, and just happen to not just graze Austin to get him to back off, but fatally stab him just because Austin was telling him to go to his teams tent and maybe Austin was reaching to move Anthony’s bag or touched Anthony’s body.

He was under the tent, and it was raining. Mom should have STFU.

He doesn't belong there. Those tents were apparently used to store all the valuables for the players. Their wallets, watches, cash, phones, etc.

Mother was watching the tent. This hoodlum looking kid shows up with a backpack (who wears backpacks nowadays?) and parks himself in an area where valuables are kept.

Mom is supposed to ignore this hoodlum looking punk in their tent with valuables? Is that what you are trying to tell me?

So yes, he or the woman picked the fight.

Shoulda just left this unknown guy with a backpack just sit around in there next to the player's property and stuff?

Was he trying to steal? I dunno, does he look like the type?

Yeah, he looks like a low life thug piece of sh*t.

[Frank Drebin]

Hang the piece of shite and be done with it. Otherwise we’ll have future headlines with this assclown’s name attached.

I've written this way, ON FR, since 1998! The powers that be have NEVER told me NOT TO, it's MY style, I am NOT "yelling" ( I am highlighting certain words/phrases/sentence, and try reading what I write, rather than HOW I write it! ), and in real life, there is voice inflection as well as facial reactions, which helps the other person to understand what one is saying, in a special way; which is missing on line.

I don't know which articles you are reading about this, nor from where. I read them all to; however, I know someone in Frisco ( an exFreeper, actually ) who is somewhat familiar with the people involved, so knew MORE FACTS about this, the day it happened. And some of what I'm still posting, are these facts.

The track meet, as I understand it, was on neutral ground ( I may be wrong about this, but it's my understanding ), each high school, competing in this contest, HAD THEIR OWN TENT!

The MURDERER deliberately went into the WRONG tent!

He came with a knife, intending to use it!

By intentionally refusing to leave ( and we don't know what he said, but we DO know that he refused to leave when, at first, was politely asked to do so!), he and he ALONE instigated this whole thing!

Oh the poor widdle boy didn't want to go into the rain? WAS HE AFRAID THAT HE'S MELT, OR WAS IT ALL A PLANNED CONTRETEMPS? Of course it was the latter!

You are making up stories out of whole cloth, with which to smear and pillory the VICTIM!

[Lurker]

“Yeah, murder his family. That’s a what a rational society would do. Any other great ideas?”

Several.

[nopardons]

Again with that damned LIE about the Sandy Hook father?

STOP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You know less than NOTHING AT ALL about Sandy Hook; so stop spreading lies about it!

I bet you believe that Sandy Hook is a town....IT IS NOT! IT IS ONE OF FIVE SMALL, COLONIAL TOWNS THAT JOINED TOGETHER, IN 1711, TO FOR ONE TOWN!

If you want a FACTUAL history lesson about that, FRmail me and I'll give you one.

[nopardons]

No kids, that age. living in Frisco, Texas, carries a knife around because they fear for their lives!

The murderer lives in a very nice house in a middle class neighborhood,with TWO parents.

The ENTIRE town went into mourning for the victim and EVERYONE there is very shocked that this happened; it is SO out of the ordinary for Frisco!

The victim went into HIS school tent and was NOT looking for a fight! The murderer had planned doing something!

Here's a hint...STOP COMMENTING ABOUT EVERYTHING THAT YOU KNOW JUSTS ABOUT NOTHING AT ALL ABOUT AND LYING!

[DesertRhino]

Oh quit yelling. I saw him laugh on video as he stepped up. Everyone knows he lost a kid. But he was one weird dude, really digging that spotlight... and yeah, he was smirking and laughing.

It’s on video.

And no you lunatic. I was speaking of the Sandy Hook school.
