@ITISALWAYSBS @WellsJorda89710 Because we’re all entitled to a fair trial.

[Bill the Butcher @Rexgriddlecakes]

Correct. Because the narrative simply doesn’t fit the known facts.

There was no documented history between these two individuals. No longstanding feud, no years of harassment, no pattern of victimization. Nothing that has been publicly presented suggests a sustained campaign of bullying or abuse that would explain or justify this outcome.

If there were evidence that KA had repeatedly been targeted, hospitalized from prior attacks, or confronted with a genuinely unavoidable threat, that would at least provide context for why someone might perceive themselves to be in serious danger. But those circumstances do not appear to exist here.

What occurred was a confrontation at a school track meet, surrounded by coaches, parents, teachers, students, and witnesses. Under normal circumstances, this should have ended the way the overwhelming majority of school altercations end: with a few punches thrown, adults intervening, and everyone going home.

Instead, a momentary dispute escalated into a fatal encounter.

Based on the facts currently available, this appears far less like a credible self-defense scenario and far more like a catastrophic failure of judgment, impulse control, and emotional discipline. The law will ultimately determine criminal liability, but from a common-sense standpoint, there is a significant gap between the circumstances that typically justify deadly force and the circumstances being described here.

[Bill the Butcher @Rexgriddlecakes]

Another example of someone substituting emotion for evidence. Are we setting a precedent of “you grab me, I stab you” as our template going forward?

Facts matter. To date, there is no publicly known evidence that meaningfully substantiates KA’s actions that day. None. This should have been a brief altercation with punches that would have been quickly broken up; like the countless school fights that occur every year without ending in tragedy.

There is no indication of a prolonged history of bullying between the parties. He was not cornered in an isolated location, ambushed by multiple attackers, hospitalized in prior encounters, or trapped in circumstances that would lend significant credibility to a claim of imminent deadly danger. Those are the kinds of facts that can strengthen a self-defense argument. They are not the facts being discussed here.

Instead, this occurred at a track meet, in broad daylight, in a suburban setting, surrounded by parents, coaches, teachers, students, and open air tent with 4 pathways to egress, numerous potential witnesses, and a challenge of “touch me and see what happens” by KA.

Based on the facts currently known, the self-defense claim is exceptionally weak and laughable. The defense will ultimately have to convince a jury that the use of deadly force was both reasonable and necessary under those specific circumstances.

That is a very high bar, and one that will require substantially more evidence than has been presented publicly thus far.

Don’t cry when the verdict comes in. You have your critical thinking skills to blame in the end.

@AlexDuncanTX He’s just another teenage boy “finding his way.”

This was cited by the Cyrus family the other day.

We were not raised the same - that’s why we have the problems we do.

[Bill the Butcher @Rexgriddlecakes]

@andrewilliamsus Is there a way we can clone like, 50 million of you please?

Every problem in the US would be gone if we had people like you, Jason Whitlock, Brandon Tatum, the Hodge Twins, etc.

Here’s the film. I think the incorrect link was generated.

[Bill the Butcher @Rexgriddlecakes]

If we’re talking about magically erasing the entire institution of slavery from history, then yes, absolutely. It delivered vanishingly little net benefit and has saddled us with costs we’ll still be grappling with centuries from now.

Watch the documentary Empire of Dust - it’s available free on YouTube. It lays bare the raw realities of post-colonial African dysfunction more effectively than any lecture could.

In one telling scene, a Chinese foreman surveys the crumbling infrastructure the Europeans left behind and asks why it’s all in ruins. The African translator replies, with a shrug, “We just gained our independence.” The foreman deadpans: “Yes… but that was over fifty years ago.”

One need look no further than South Africa’s trajectory from 2010 onward for a case study in rapid civilizational backsliding. This is a culture that, broadly speaking, demonstrates scant aptitude for invention, maintenance, disciplined labor, or long-term planning. It prizes immediate hedonistic gratification and low-effort living instead. That’s their prerogative, but I have zero desire to import that ethos into a high-trust, technically advanced society that actually functions.

If I could wave a wand and extract the top performers while repatriating the rest, I’d do it without hesitation. There are certainly capable, high-quality Black individuals out there, perhaps the top 20%, comprised with maybe 2-5% truly excelling, great people, and another 15% pulling their weight as solid, hardworking people. The remainder, however, function as a net drag on any sophisticated system they inhabit.

I live in a poor Black neighborhood, and the daily reality of how many raise their children is staggering: an almost breathtaking level of ignorance, dysfunction, and cultural self-sabotage on display. It’s the sort of thing that polite society refuses to discuss openly, but it’s impossible to ignore once you’ve seen it up close and lived it.

It’s like arguing with a child. Nearly every convenience, technology, and system that defines modern life: from electricity and engines to antibiotics, computers, and nuclear energy, exists because generations of scientists, engineers, inventors, and industrialists pushed human progress forward.

The irony is that many of the loudest critics enjoy the fruits of that progress daily while showing little appreciation for the foundations that made it possible.

[Bill the Butcher @Rexgriddlecakes]

Oh, you mean the “evil ancestors” you never met? The ones whose inventions, discoveries, infrastructure, and institutions underpin every aspect of your daily life? Those monsters?

Meanwhile, you’re defending a juror who openly admitted she favored acquittal for a man accused of nearly decapitating two people because she was thinking about Rodney King.

So let me get this straight: people are morally responsible for things they never did, but others should be excused for things they actually did because of events they weren’t involved in.

That’s not justice. That’s tribalism dressed up as principle.

You people are hopelessly small, low-resolution thinkers.

The movie “Empire of Dust” explained it all for me.

[Bill the Butcher @Rexgriddlecakes]

I am genuinely baffled by the number of people attempting to shoehorn this into a self-defense narrative. It feels like watching basic reasoning skills collapse in real time.

Self-defense is not determined by emotion, tribal loyalty, or which side generates the loudest online outrage. It is determined by facts, circumstances, and legal standards. Judged on those merits, this is among the least convincing self-defense claims I have ever seen attached to a criminal case.

The fact that so many people view it otherwise says far more about the state of public discourse than it does about the strength of the defense itself.

This should have been a brief SCRAP…like the hundreds of thousands that happen across all high schools every year and are broken up. Fearing for your life at a track meet, in suburbia, in an open-air tent with 4 escape routes, parents and coaches everywhere, kids running about…and you feared for your life? That’s what we’re going with? You grab me and I get to stab you is the precedent we’re setting here?

Give me a break with this foolishness

[Bill the Butcher @Rexgriddlecakes]

@PhantomPlatypus @CollinRugg Yep. My roommate in Australia grew up in Vietnam for a time of about 7 years - his dad worked a corporate job. He told me of events he went to where street vendors would put a belt around the dogs neck before they kill them.

He was serious.

[Bill the Butcher @Rexgriddlecakes]

@JoonDee17 @TopStriker Nothing intelligent about what? The engineering feat or his way of explaining it?

[Bill the Butcher @Rexgriddlecakes]

@JustJenRX Try 6% - most are black males committing the statistics, not women.

Even more horrifying.

“Brat Bear wants to be pinned down and punished.”

Some anime fanboy, basement-dweller, neck-deep in anime body pillows, cum filled socks, and zero real-world experience, is out here demanding to know why a 14-year-old shouldn’t be packing an illegal handgun, not a hunting rifle…a handgun.

This isn’t your grandpa’s era: you know, when black kids across the board were actually raised to become functional adults with basic dignity, impulse control, and a work ethic. Back then, long guns and rifle safety classes were normal parts of growing up in certain communities. Handguns with laser sites in the hands of children weren’t the flex.

Fast-forward to today: a subset of inner-city Black youth marinated in a grievance-soaked, fatherless culture that celebrates thug life, zero accountability, and perpetual victimhood. The result? Chronically immature man-children: hyper-aggressive, low-skill, low-literacy, sky-high ego, zero moral framework, trapped in a permanent pre-teen emotional state. Then society acts shocked when these stunted products of generational dysfunction hit the streets acting exactly as advertised, forcing the rest of us to patiently explain basic civilized norms like “maybe don’t hand out guns to kids who can’t read at a fifth-grade level.”

@thespook97 @drboycewatkins1 @BlackXodus Made the news. Yet another 20 year old scholar out here making a difference. Got him for multiple murders.

[Bill the Butcher @Rexgriddlecakes]

Stop with the nonsense, privilege routine and virtue signaling. It’s a zero sum game. Privilege is a dimension you can apply endlessly to everyone across the globe.

Second, you don’t know me, who I know, and don’t know my acquaintances.

This isn’t a subject I approach from a distance. I’ve lived it, observed it firsthand, and spent time examining the data. The statistics are troubling, the outcomes are measurable, and the stories are endless. I have more firsthand experience and factual context on this issue than you have feel-good slogans and emotional appeals.

I live in a predominantly all black, poor neighborhood. I have a few good neighbors and a ton of completely abhorrent excuses for human beings around here.

My perspective wasn’t formed in an echo chamber. I grew up alongside people from diverse backgrounds, attended schools in both suburban and inner-city environments, and lived in communities spanning the full socioeconomic spectrum. I’ve lived in four different cities across multiple states and in two foreign countries. I’ve seen enough of the world to know that culture, values, and personal accountability matter far more than most people are willing to admit.

Do yourself a favor, this is reality:

The guy wasn’t even jumped.

If this were a dark alley at 3am, no escape route, and a 2 vs. 1, alcohol involved…I could probably see that as a self defense case and entertain the idea.

Suburbia, track meet, coaches and parents everywhere, no weapons on school grounds, an athlete with running ability, wide open tent, he makes a verbal threat towards the two individuals he’s “fearing for his life” from, and your first instinct after being grabbed or pushed is to plunge a knife into someone’s chest?

No, sorry, weak self defense claim - murder.

This is the most straightforward case I’ve seen in a while. Unless there is new evidence that emerges, or the prosecution shuts the bed, it’s an easy conviction.

[Bill the Butcher @Rexgriddlecakes]

@babelpalm @BillsMafia5150 @bAnthonYsr Why do you people struggle with basic logic?

You can’t compare Rittenhouse, Cyrus, Zimmerman, or any other case you think is applicable. They’re all completely different, different facts, circumstances, actions, etc.

It’s a low-resolution way of thinking.

[Bill the Butcher @Rexgriddlecakes]

@ArticleFiveNow @TonyLaneNV I see no issue with that. Mistakes happen. I’m assuming they have insurance of some sort or the city does.

I’m sure there’s mistakes made when adrenaline was pumping. Doubt it was done with malice.

[Bill the Butcher @Rexgriddlecakes]

You lost the argument, “Dr.”

Doctor of what, exactly? African studies or another equivalent layup concentration I’m sure.

No emotional impulse or ego control - so surprising. And, you’re making it personal.

Clean up your culture, please. On behalf of all the productive, intelligent adults that are actually contributing to our society.

Watch and learn:
