Thank you for reminding us of this. It’s wise NOT to become too trustful of government, any government.

DO NOT try to put word in my mouth.

Put words in your mouth? I'm just connecting the dots.

A "Court" is "government." We have to wait for the government to declare this thing we absolutely know to be true, "true", before we can treat this piece of sh*t as he deserves?

I don't see it.

Like it or not, Karmello Anthony HAS NOT BEEN CONVICTED OF A CRIME.

I don't care if *THE GOVERNMENT* has decided the murdering little bastard is a murdering little bastard. We already know this. We don't have to wait for their "decree."

That's your prerogative. GOVERNMENT must presume him innocent until proven guilty. Government schools are government entities, as you well know. Government should not be punishing people merely for being accused of a crime.

This is silly. They will expel you for punching a kid. They don't wait for a judge to decide someone punched someone, they just find enough proof to convince themselves, and they toss the trouble maker out.

This guy *STABBED* someone. They've got oodles of proof he did it. Why should they have to wait for a Judge when they wouldn't wait for a judge if he punched someone?

The School is doing what is normal and proper for schools to do, and it really has no bearing on his criminal case.

What the school does is not punishment for his crime, it is the normal process for removing troublemakers from the student body.

You are twisting things to make it look like what the school has done is directly connected to his criminal case. It isn't.

You are falsely equating the School with the Criminal Justice system, and they are not the same.

GOVERNMENT is not to be trusted. GOVERNMENT is full of corruption. The power of GOVERNMENT must be severely restricted, because GOVERNMENT has a horrible track record of abusing its authority.

Well I agree with you here. But you make a mistake when you equate the "School" part of government with the "Judicial" part of government.

I make no mistake, twist nothing, and falsely equate nothing. You're babbling, and you still don't get that this whole ugly business is based on a criminal case that has not been concluded.

I'm just connecting the dots.

You're just falsely imputing to me words I did not say (write). I have made my position quite clear. Your failure to understand it is your problem.

They will expel you for punching a kid.

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHahahahahahahahahahahaha!!! Nonsense.

They don't wait for a judge to decide

The word you're looking for here is spelled j u r y. Learn it.

This guy *STABBED* someone.

And he's claiming "self defense". Whatever you or I might think of that claim (I have already expressed my opinion of it), he has the right to make it. He has the right to present his case to a jury. And he has the right to be judged according to the facts, not according to breathless hyperventilating in Big Media.

I guess around here, mistrust of Big Media and Big Government only extends to January 6 protesters and Donald Trump.

Correct. A turning point, after which white genocide will be romanticized and funded by ‘the internet’. It took a while, but here we are.

“And he can enjoy his diploma while rotting in prison for most or all of the rest of his miserable life.”

The Supreme Court already limited the max he can get to life with parole at 40 years so with good behavior and trustee status he could be out by age 58. Still 40 years is no picnic in the pen.

The accused committed homicide.

Which isn’t necessarily a criminal act.

He has yet to be convicted of a criminal act.

Innocent until proven guilty.

Of a criminal act.

Another point is that public schools are required to provide appropriate education to all up to either 19 or 21. If they “expell” someone from a particular school, they must offer an alternative. So the school system probably can’t get out of giving him a diploma if he completes all the requirements.

There were witnesses who were there and saw the whole thing. The boy pulled a knife he shouldn’t have had with him on school grounds. What do you have that Metcalf scared your boy with? If you’ve seen the video of Chrissy Van Hollen dancing in El Salvador with Mr. Maryland, the father of the year, you wouldn’t put too much faith in “videos” anymore. That isn’t proof of anything.
