We’ve all heard the narrative by now.
“He was bullied.”
“He was picked on.”
“He was defending himself.”
But there’s one problem.
According to the testimony, these two young men didn’t even know each other.
So help this old man understand something.
If they were strangers…
If one attended Centennial and the other attended Memorial…
If he was reportedly under the wrong school’s tent…
If witnesses say he was asked over and over to leave…
Then what exactly was the bullying?
And perhaps the biggest question of all…
Why didn’t he just leave?
Not because leaving would have been difficult.
Not because he didn’t know where his own team was.
Not because he couldn’t understand what was being said.
Just stand up and walk away.
Twenty feet.
Thirty feet.
That’s the question America keeps asking.
Because one young man is gone.
Another young man has lost his future.
And it all appears to have started with a request that should have taken ten seconds to comply with.
So tonight let’s walk through the facts, the testimony, and the questions that millions of Americans are asking.

🚨Breaking.
Carmelo Anthony was just sentenced to 35 years.
Now before everybody starts calling each other racist and before social media turns this into another black-versus-white circus, I have a question.
What if it was your son?
Not somebody else’s son.
Your son.
Your grandson.
Your nephew.
Would you still be standing outside with signs?
Would you still be posting hashtags?
Would you still be raising money for the person convicted of stabbing him?
Because that’s the part I cannot understand.
A family buried their child.
A jury heard the evidence.
A judge handed down 35 years.
And somehow half the country is talking about race instead of the victim.
So … I have questions.
I want to know how a person reportedly connected to hundreds of thousands of dollars in donations ends up with a public defender.
I want to know how the jury was selected.
I want to know why people seem more upset about the sentence than they are about the young man who never got to go home.
Most of all, I want to know why every tragedy in America gets immediately sorted into racial teams.
Because if justice only matters when the person looks like us, then it was never justice we were after in the first place.
Let’s talk about it.

@AmericaPapaBear My reaction? I made the shirts.
They can threaten all they want, some of us aren’t backing down.
Just dropped two new Austin Metcalf designs today (one clean, one with a little edge). Link in bio.
@AmericaPapaBear It's funny how they make it about race. A kid pushed another kid and that kid stabbed him in the chest with a knife. In what crazy world is that justified to anyone?
