You should purchase a karambit and take some bladed weapons training. 

True talk, slicing is a far better tactic than piercing if you want to be effective with an edged weapon.

As a skilled striker I stay mindful that I’m always carrying deadly weapons.  I can’t in good conscience introduce a tactical mechanical advantage to the equation.

It’ll never not amaze me that Derka posts combative stuff like this calling people retards and telling them to go fuck themselves…

…and then claims complete innocence and he never does anything wrong and all his Internet battles are everyone else’s fault picking on poor innocent him for no reason at all!

And he somehow has posters who white knight him.

Who would the GoFundMe be funding?

I have no idea how this would work but I'm assuming whomever sets it up would direct the funds, like it could it go to the family directly? The funeral costs? A charity or donation in the boys honor? The remaining family?

I just watched some interviews of the dad and family and it's pretty tragic and heart-tugging and would toss a few shekels their way in memory of the kiddo. FWIW, the dad while obviously heartbroken seemed to really be mature and thoughtful in that he has already forgiven the alleged murderer and sees it as a stupid tragedy all the way around.

Gotta love America, a country where tech bros have figured out a way to profit off of fundraising. Why don’t people just give money directly to the beneficiary instead of funneling it through a platform that takes a cut?

Dad doesn’t say why he wants that #.

Yeah, that may not even be the dad - it was put up within 24 hours, it talks about his son but doesn't say anything at all why they need the money. Normally you see stuff like medical bills, funeral costs, etc. mentioned.

To be fair, so do 85% of the other posters on this thread. People who obsess about politics always ignore the story and focus on who is telling it. Very few of these posts have any actual facts or discussion about what actually happened. This is why those people should be locked in the Cloak Room and never let out.

And to answer your earlier question, the white kid got stabbed.

The story was a falsehood with an overtly racist message by an overtly political and racist twitter account.

Post 2 in the thread pointed out the falsity of it.

If you can ignore that, then you better check yourself, and your media sources.

Mom and the two boys worked at a pizza restaurant.   I’m going to guess they’re not crazy rich.   I think there’s a go fund me somewhere.  Let me search

Totally broken brained society. 

Yup. Kid dies tragically, another kids life is effectively over because of horrific impulse, and CR Elmo pushes the “nO ONE cAreS cAuSe he wHItE” angle to tens of millions of users to ensure further division and chaos. Oh wait, it’s you, must be mad that anyone dare challenge bullshit narratives. Carry on.

Dumb question, but what does random upper/lower case mean?

I get setting up a GoFundMe for ongoing medical bills and other hardships. Sucks so many have to do that in this country but that's a whole other discussion.

But a $240k goal for this situation? Seems he is taking advantage of this being a national story and knows many will donate just because. What exactly is this money going towards?

Women and Irish whiskey. The other 10%, he’ll probably waste

I just assume all go fund me’s are scams when it comes to national stories like this and when the goal is well into six figures. Is there anyway to verify these things when it’s a national story and complete strangers feel compelled to give?

Interesting choice for your reply...one of the world's worst despots to laugh off being called a psycho

I have know idea who the person is but drunk Ana calling someone else a psycho around here is funny as fucking shit.

Agree with you on gofundme. They all strike me as scammy and the for profit nature of the platform helps support my feeling.

As for the second, you don’t know who Idi Amin is? Look him up and then watch the Last King of Scotland. It’s a great movie. And Ana calling anyone broken brained or psycho without even a hint of irony is hilarious.

Other than funeral costs and possibly therapy there probably aren't additional financial hardships that requires this kind of money, but there is never a follow up to what people do with these things.  I've heard of families starting scholarships or awareness campaigns when losing a child to a tragedy.  If a gofundme situation was the seed, that would be cool.  Or it could all just go to hookers and blow.  Assuming it's not a scam, I don't think anyone is being taken advantage of though.  You have to seek it out to donate, it's not popping up anywhere like tips on credit card readers.

There are links to the Pizza shop lady and the father’s gofundmes in multiple articles I’ve read online. I wouldn’t have known about them otherwise.

Google Idi Amin...not a good guy. Great gif though 

I think it's fair to say at this point that GIF and it's use from people has created it's own meaning, rather as some sort of commentary on Amin's actions.

Good to see Ana making friends outside of the CR.

It's a very sad story and a very sad thread. 

Unfortunately not surprised to see some of the seizures breaking out here.

The Truth About Karmelo—Let’s Set the Record Straight!

Enough with the misinformation. Let’s talk about facts.

1️⃣ It’s NORMAL for students from different schools to gather under another school’s tent. Karmelo had friends there—he wasn’t trespassing or looking for trouble.

2️⃣ The claim that one of the twins had never seen Karmelo before? A blatant lie.

3️⃣ No student has the right to remove another student from a SCHOOL-OWNED tent. The school owns the tent—not the twins.

4️⃣ Karmelo is a track athlete. The twins are NOT. He wasn’t even expecting to see them there.

Now, here’s what they don’t want you to know:

⚠️ The twins didn’t just “ask him to leave.” They tried to JUMP him.
⚠️ Before attacking him, they tried to take his belongings, BROKE his phone, and STOMPED on it.
⚠️ The twins are KNOWN BULLIES.

So ask yourself: If two 200+ lb attackers came at YOUR child, what would you expect them to do?

And yet, despite everything, the media is trying to destroy Karmelo’s name. They keep posting a picture of him with an AIRSOFT GUN—not even a real firearm—to manipulate public perception. Why? Because they want to paint him as a criminal instead of a victim.

Let’s talk about WHO Karmelo really is:

A respectful, well-mannered young man
A 4.0 student with multiple college offers
A kid with ZERO criminal history—not even a blemish
A son raised in a loving home by parents who taught him right from wrong

A life was lost, and that is tragic. But what’s also tragic is the way the media is twisting this story to fit their own agenda.

Karmelo defended himself against violent aggressors. That is NOT a crime.

Do NOT let the media race-bait you. Do NOT let them manipulate the facts.

JUSTICE WILL PREVAIL.

So.....let's say that all of that is true (I have no way of knowing whether it is or not).  The part that is left out is that Karmelo was at the track meet....with a knife.  That fact alone speaks of bad intentions.  And I note that fact is omitted from the recitation above.

Is it reasonably likely that this event is the result of the intersection of two dudes who had shit intentions and shit behavior?  Sure is possible.  And in light of that, the efforts to paint either one of them as an innocent angel are distasteful as hell.

Bringing a weapon to a school sporting event doesn't help your case no matter how much you want to put in all the other reasons he's a good kid.

I assume there are tons of witnesses, so should be relatively easy to determine if Karmelo was first attacked by two large guys. If that is the case, then I have to imagine that he's got a pretty decent shot at self-defense, depending on the actions of the other 2, at what point the knife came out, what started the intitial argument, etc. Although I'm not familiar with TX self-defense jury instructions

On a Reddit thread in /r/Frisco, so read it with your bs detector glasses on, it was stated that Melo and the victim had previous beef. That Melo told people he was going to stab someone that day. That the twins were known bullies. That the victim punched first, after breaking Melo's phone. The article says grabbed. 

At this point, it just seems like teenage idiots being teenage idiots. Sad that someone died and lives are forever ruined.

Regarding the GoFundMe conversation, why does it matter if the family is going to use it for funerals or therapy or if they are going to use it for food or enjoying time with their family or whatever. The parents experienced a horrible loss, if making their life easier by providing some financial gifts (even if it was already relatively easy in your eyes) is something an individual or a community wants to do, what's it matter to you? It's not your money.
