Yikes on that shaking a baby thing.

Also, why in the world is Karmelo's family hiring a political activist and race activism guy/firm unless they feel like it's a strategic advantage somehow?

Maybe to turn away from the boring facts and turn it into a national spectacle is what the skepticism tells me.

I thought he was just some kind of spokesperson, like Al Sharpton. Bold strategy

Wow, Karmelo is being treated with a hero's welcome which is interesting, considering what seems to be reported as facts. Maybe there is substantial facts we don't know yet that shows he's the real victim.

That's more or less what it would take, yes.  

From what I have read about knife fighting, trying to stab someone through the heart through the rib cage is a very low-percentage deal.  The ridbs and sternum are highly likely to deflect the blade or cause it to get hung up.

For that reason, the military teaches going under the rib cage for the lungs, liver, spleen and maybe heart, or even trying for other arteries like the carotid, femoral or brachial.  That's partly due to body armor and other military gear can make it even more difficult to "stab the heart," but it's difficult either way.

So, unless Melo was a trained knife fighter, he was pretty extraordinarily unlucky to deliver a fatal stab.  That factoid is probably not going to help him any, though.

I’m shocked that any adult would post that. Or that any self respecting adult would ever have something like that show up in their algorithm.

Frisco PD posted about it on FB but didn’t give any details. Didn’t take long for someone to figure out what it was about.
Also, one of the Metcalf’s houses was swatted this afternoon. Don’t know which parent.

A “swatting” call was made Thursday to an address involving the family of the Frisco teenager who was fatally stabbed at a track meet earlier this month, police confirmed to The Dallas Morning News.


The swatting occurred hours after Jeff Metcalf, Austin’s father, was barred from attending a news conference where the parents of Karmelo Anthony, a 17-year-old teenager who is facing a murder charge in connection to the stabbing, spoke publiclyabout the case for the first time.

It seems to be getting nastier according to my mostly white and a lot of Frisco Facebook feed. With the swatting and then this was celebrated (sharing for awareness NOT an endorsement):

Figured it was Dad’s house because the location was in the Frisco High School area.

No, family of 17-year-old stabbing suspect Karmelo Anthony did not buy house, car with donated funds | Snopes.com

Quote

Anthony's family has a legitimate donation page on Christian fundraising site GiveSendGo, which has raised nearly $500,000 as of this writing — but they have not withdrawn any money from this fundraiser, a fact stated by the family and confirmed via an email to Snopes by GiveSendGo co-founder Jacob Wells. Furthermore, allegations that the family bought a new home or car are not supported by credible evidence. Thus, we rate this claim false.

Thus the rampant alcoholism and depression in the legal profession. 

Raises hand.  To that end, one thing I have read among the literature on the subject is that those that go to law school tend to be idealistic in one respect or another.  Some think they're going to be great civil rights lawyers, or child advocates, or prosecutors, or defense attorneys, or advocates for the injured.  And, well they may.  But before they ever become great crusaders for rights or whatever, they spend years drafting and responding to discovery, reviewing document discovery, and summarizing depositions and making depo cuts for trials.  And working 3000 hours a year to bill 2200.  They burn out before they get there.

Or, a more practical idealism:  they enjoy competing on ideas, prevailing on a motion, a trial, an appeal, when they're in the right, or should be.  Or filing a patent on the worlds greatest invention and getting it granted, to be litigated and result in industry wide injunctions and huge damage awards.

And, even if any of that actually happens (which it does for most), it is months and years between victories.  Because everything takes so damn long.  And lots of scut work in between.  And then asshole clients, or clients with asshole objectives.  Liars and dissemblers everywhere.  Bad facts.  Stupid judges.  Asshole opponents.

Most law students have experienced some degree of academic success, where the reward for the work comes on a semester-long time frame, at the longest.  That's one of the shorter time-frames for reward in the legal profession.  Double or triple or quadruple that for many or most things.  

The money isn't all its cracked up to be, either for the vast majority of lawyers.

And some of the more cynical might say (Jonathan Harr/Jan Schlichtmann/Civil Action) that that idealism and desire to succeed/win comes from a place that covers up feelings of inadequacy or inferiority.

It can be quite the toxic stew.

The one thing this case has absolutely confirmed, above all else, is the number number of vultures ready to pounce on the cultural "race wars" in this country and the adage a fool and their money are soon to part.

One teenage kid stabs another at a track event killing him. Were race variances not involved it's likely a minor story. 

But before the funeral the internet has taken up arms and sides.

The parents of the alleged assailant starts a gofundme.

Because "race wars" idiots are fleeced by the parents to the tune of half a million dollars.

So as not to have the foolish funders look dumber than themselves the parents align to criminal that is running his own grift. 

Mean while the internet has the racist white idiots jumping on the opportunity to promote their bullshit cause and I'm guessing also fleacing idiots of their money.

At the same time, the father of the victim is swatted for showing up to the social media circus put on by the parents of the accused, no doubt prompted to do so by their own flimflam man whose likely charging them ridiculous sums to come up with this strategy.

While all this is occurring right here are Surly someone is actually questioning whether or not stabbing someone with a knife qualifies as "intent to do serious bodily harm".

It would be comical if it weren't so common, predictable and based in such a sad event... and all the while..

A young man is dead and he is the lowest priority of discussion in this entire mess.

It's kind of amusing that certain people on the thread are indulging and repeating every factual rumor while shitting on people discussing the "known facts," and discussing potential legal ramifications on those facts and how more information might influence them.

I suppose it was inevitable, as foretold by the opening racially tinged tweetthing Derka posted, that this would devolve into a racial shitshow.

Correct but they will allocate funds for basic living expensesas well:

 

While legal defense is a critical part of this journey, we want to make it clear that this fund is not solely dedicated to legal expenses. The funds raised will also support a range of urgent and necessary needs that have emerged as a result of this situation, including — but not limited to — the safe relocation of the Anthony family due to escalating threats to their safety and well-being, as well as basic living costs, transportation, counseling, and other security measures.

Without diminishing the tragedy of this, the victim is gone and there's nothing anyone can do about that.  All there really is to talk about is the aftermath.  And the precursors.

That actually makes sense. I'm not saying I would ever donate to their fund, but they're probably going to need every bit of that money, even though it seems they live pretty comfortably already.

Yes.  They’re being transparent.    I haven’t donated to either family’s funds and don’t plan to

 

 

trials are not cheap.  500k can burn up in a heartbeat though I assume given how high profile this case is, a lawyer would take it for less to potentially enhance their reputation

Agreed. However, had a white girl been stabbed by a white boy or a black teen been stabbed by a white teen the response and outrage would have been just as loud if not louder.

So my continued repeating of additional facts may surface that alters my perception and use of facts we are currently aware of amuses you?!?!

because they don’t’ want their true moniker connected to how they really feel for fear of some sort of retribution. I’ve said before, there are parts of our fanbase that are no different from A&M, and this is one of those areas. 

It’s funny those people ridicule others for not being “manly” or “man enough” yet here they are using an alternative name to post their true thoughts.

Sadly, my guess is most of that money is going to be sucked dry by this grifting "PR" firm.  

The newest talking point from this "representative" is that Frisco should have cancelled the meet because it was rainy and overcast.....and somehow that is problematic?  I don't quite even follow the point, but somehow the meet should have been cancelled which would have prevented everyone from being there, and thus no confrontation, and no stabby-stabby?

It hurts my brain to even type this out, trying to explain what I think he's saying.

I can't comment on the broader aspects of what draws them here in the first place, but I have a high level of confidence the majority are socks of other posters that have been banned or socks of trolley posters who've yet to be escorted off premises.

Agreed. I think there is a lot of irony in the racial bias and aspect to this. By most accounts The Anthony's are probably more well-off and more a fit to the Frisco demographic and mold (except for the black name) than the victim. Despite this, most people in the area are going to react with a racial bias as you said, because the main reason for moving to Frisco in the first place is to get away from the false idea in their head about gang or racial violence caused by poor blacks on the unfortunate white victims (aka white flight). In my opinion, at least.

I'm certainly not going to claim that Texas doesn't have fans that fall into the demographic you're claiming. I know it does.

That said there are a goodly number of posters on this board that rarely, if ever post on sports or other topics at all. They mostly stick to CR and Daily Texan. Given the nature of those subs its going to draw the racist trolls that really give zero shits about the University of Texas or Texas Athletics. Is that 100% of them, absolutely not, but I think its the majority most likely.
