@JasonRaePhoto@tariqnasheed Are you suggesting that the only people who should never be held accountable for their actions are black people, simply because they're black?
@JasonRaePhoto@tariqnasheed Metcalf had no authority, correct. But your racism is showing too. "Black people don't like being touched", lots of people of all races don't like being touched. A shove is not justification for deadly force. Especially where a weapon is prohibited in the first place.
@gwestdallas@B1TuckerCarlson Why wasn't there an ADULT supervising everything? Every HS sports event I ever been to, non-participants wouldn't have even made it to that area.
@Realpretty_mean@B1TuckerCarlson@ShawnMcGaffey88 I mean, you can say that about ANYONE... I see a lot of fault in this case on numerous fronts. Remove just one of the variables and the incident never occurs.
@BigWigWom@B1TuckerCarlson@ShawnMcGaffey88 The defense picked their own witnesses as well. The jury has to decide who they believe and don't believe and match the testimony with the evidence. That's how jury trials work.
@JasonRaePhoto@tariqnasheed That doesn't apply when you go somewhere you're not supposed to be where weapons are prohibited. Again, if an adult invited him, the adult should've known better and must be held accountable as well.
@JasonRaePhoto@tariqnasheed Your view is flawed. If you know someone is going to attack you, why go out of your way to go where they are? Weapons are strictly prohibited at ANY school event on or off campus. Were they blocking the exit? Following him and cutting him off through the spectator areas?
@AaronGogley@tariqnasheed Under state interscholastic governance, nobody is allowed to invite non-participants onto the playing surface or designated team areas. That's why I ask.
@JasonRaePhoto@tariqnasheed At a school event, which is governed by a state interscholastic organization, has the authority to determine who can enter the playing areas and team designated areas. In 99.9% of states, the playing surface, dugouts, sidelines etc. are specifically limited to participants only
@duece2cinco@B1TuckerCarlson And I have delivered pizza in certain areas and had a group of black teens surround my car asking what a white boy is doing on their block.
@duece2cinco@B1TuckerCarlson Then the adult who gave permission needs to be held accountable as well. The state organization governing HS sports put the rules in place and it's the adults, including staff, security, coaches and trainers responsibility to make sure they're being followed
@outstandingang@B1TuckerCarlson@ShawnMcGaffey88 I responded to the OPs post. I know nothing about the individual responsible for it. The OPs original suggestion is flawed and exposes his lack of understanding of how jury trials are conducted
@de_teat@ShawnMcGaffey88@B1TuckerCarlson That's not the point. My response was to the OP question. I'm explaining how a trial works. Both sides call witnesses and cross examine each. Each sides job is to convince a jury of their cases through evidence and eyewitnesses testimony.
@tariqnasheed Because it was a HS sports event. Only members of that specific team are allowed in those areas. When we were in HS, at football games, we weren't even allowed to mingle with spectators from the opponents school on the visitors side of the stadium.
@tariqnasheed Walking away and reporting to security he had been shoved, would've resolved the entire thing. Likely, security would've escorted him from the team area and told him not to return. The coach would've been notified to deal with his players who did the shoving.
@tariqnasheed ...school were not allowed to even be on the opponents side of the spectator areas, to prevent this type of thing. Proper event security would've prevented this from ever happening. Accountability needs to be held there as well.
@tariqnasheed Who invited him? I've never seen a HS sports event where spectators of any type were allowed in the team specific areas like dugouts, tents, locker rooms or sidelines. One thing I DO want to know, is where was event security? At HS football games, students from the opposite...
