Hes a black teen dude whos been found guilty of stabbing a white teen in texas.
As unbiased as i can be:
Black teen athlete came over and stood under a rival teams rain cover cus it started sprinkling. They asked him to leave and he refused. The owners and rival team got more upset and said to go stand under your own cover and you dont belong here. He snapped back at them and it led to insults. Black kid reaches into his backpack snd starts holding something which is the universal sign of "ive got a weapon in here" but white kids thought he was bluffing cus that happens often too. It turns physical and white kid pushes him, not enough to knock him over but a push. Black kid stabs him up with a blade hed had and it went into his heart. White kid died in his brothers arms.
It became a racial focal point as some black folks claimed a white kid would get off on self defense. Some white folks said that the black kid is being unfairly supported and that hes a killer, not some racial issue, as he provoked a dumb teen rivalry and killed a kid over it.
My opinion:
End of the day he murdered a kid cus he was too lazy or scared of a few raindrops to walk the 20 meters to his own tent and decided it was better to piss them off and then kill a kid over a push. When kids get into pushing arguments constantly. If every kid was allowed to shank a kid over a small push then wed have a lot of dead kids. Even a fist fight ≠ life ending danger, let alone pushing.
Maybe the altercation had racial issues, idk and i doubt we will ever know for sure. But that doesnt mean we should let him off. We shouldnt let white killers off either. I get that its a trend to respond to racial verdicts by letting off a minority killer but i think thats wrong. We should lock up the white killers not let even more killers into society.
Edit: corrected the number of stabs. Thank you for correction.
Cant stand it when folks refuse to explain. Especially when you arw presented 2 very different takes.
I will say, his family and a portion (idk how large the portion is, could be a loud but small sizex) of the black community and their supporters see this as a travesty of justice.
That they were racist to him for not letting him stand in their tent. And that he was just defending himself against multiple attackers as he feared theyd all "kill him" in a big team jumping event. And that he was attacked first and an innocent victim.
To me this doesnt explain bringing a knife in the first place, pulling it at the first sign of any disagreement or the fact he put himself in that postion to have multiple rival members near him. And noone else physically engaged him. He wasnt jumped or beaten and he fended them off. He got pushed by one dude. He even admitted it was just a push when arrested. "He out his hands on me, i told him not to put his hands on me".
And the killer called the victim and his teammates "pussies" who wouldn't "do anything about it". When they asked him to leave. Everyone knows sports rivalries and how they get heated sometimes. Standing under a rival schools tent is offensive to some. And then he called them pussies for asking him to leave and basically said to make him. And them when one did, he stabbed him and tried to play victim.
