Shocking new footage shows the moment a mass brawl broke out at a North Carolina high school, leaving one student dead and another in hospital.
One child, in a gray hoodie with a black jacket, backs another student in a red hoodie into a corner and then punches him repeatedly.
The pair run into the school gymnasium, followed by dozens of whooping and cheering students filming on their phones.
A brawl ensues, with one student on the ground pulling out a knife and stabbing another in the leg and groin.
As the children fled, no one was on the ground. But one of the students was later pronounced dead, and the second hospitalized.
Two ambulances were seen leaving Southeast Raleigh Magnet High School, each trailed by a police vehicle, early Monday afternoon.
Police say they arrested a suspect, but have not said what led to the fight and deadly incident. None of the names of the students involved have been released.

If you didn’t grow up on video games, then why would you be offended?
Well, since you asked…I do not believe in making it personal, ever. If I disagree with someone here, I’ll try to offer a decent counter-argument. But I’ll try not to refer to fellow FReeper personally in a negative way. It’s not that I’m such a saint. It’s just one of the rules JimRob has set down.
The “If you…” sentence structure offers no cover, in my opinion. Suppose I post, “If you watch too much TV, you’d say that.” I’m actually saying you watch too much TV.
Anyway, this whole kerfuffle has me scratching my head. You and I are obviously both very pro-Trump. And I backed you in my post #53. Maybe you are having a bad day. Maybe I’m having a bad day.
I can just hear that. Lol
Amish
What are you trying to say?
Too bad schools aren’t knife free zones.
Our civil society is being threatened by “brawlers”. This is the result of decades of misguided intentions and bad social policies.
I don’t blame the kid for sticking people. He was getting jumped by a pack.
Black knives matter.
best post.
I knew they were Amish when hoodies were mentioned.
I forgot the exact figure but something like 90% of black children are born to single women and know no father. When get into teen years the gangs become the father figure.
btt
I live in the rust belt. The factories here are still idle.
Nothing new is coming in.

Not sure how you change that situation in that if factories in the
USA are producing a product that can be imported at a lower cost
then I’m not sure how to change that situation. To a degree it is
human nature to buy items at the lower price if available.
LOL!

Tariffs are the answer. But they have to be applied in a way that won’t cause inflation. Perhaps add tariffs as you reduce the sales tax.
One thing is for sure. You can’t have great numbers of Americans sitting around doing nothing. You’ve got to give them access to gainful, full-time work. Factories would provide that. As the old saying goes, idle hands are the devil’s workshop.
“...others ignore the cultural aspect and make it about black identity.”
Those two threads are wound together fairly closely.
I personally think there’s been intentional effort to blur the distinction.
For example, is Jheri Curl a part of “black culture” or is it part of black identity? Well, I know enough to know not every black person is or was into it, so that says it was only a part of some peoples’ identity. But was it ever a “thing” OUTSIDE the black community? If not, does that make it a black cultural element? Is it BOTH; part of the identity of some black people, AND part of their broader culture?
And how often do we hear some lib tell it: your culture is an integral part of your identity. So “culture” becomes perceived as a thing that feeds INTO identity, as if a group with a shared set of identifying aspects isn’t what creates culture.
This getting it backward creates a sense of inevitability about what a person will become; they feel subject to — not master over — the culture they grow up around.
Young black men feel they have to be and act certain ways because those things are impressed upon them as “black culture.” See, even the label — “black culture” — seems definitive; as if white people or Hispanic people, or Pacific Islanders could never do the same things, or dress the same way.
Then, for example, when we suddenly see rappers coming from across racial lines, oh well, that’s not “black culture” anymore, now it’s “rap culture.”
Why isn’t it just “rapper identity”? Individuals who enjoy, and create rap? What “culture” is there? And if it was “black culture” before, aren’t these rappers of other ethnicities “embracing black culture”? Are they “appropriating” it?
There are constructs that define cultural aspects apart from race. Confusingly, we’re told we’re not to “appropriate” anyone’s culture. I have tortillas in my fridge; am I “appropriating” someone’s culture if I eat them? Did THEY appropriate them form some preceding culture??
Is eating tortillas a defining act that affects my identity?
The language surrounding culture and identity has been made INTENTIONALLY confusing so as to permit fusion of the two concepts in the unsuspecting mind. One second the talk is about culture, and the next we’re talking identity, and in my estimation it’s all on purpose to maintain a sense of tribalism that perpetuates societal divisions.
Animals laughing about it all.
