She said that she saw a commotion and heard screaming. She ran onto the track to see what was going on.
She said that a student she knew said “Him! He stabbed him and threw the knife!” The student then pointed at Karmelo.
She said that she then stopped right in front of Karmelo and put her arms out to stop him. She then got Coach Hooper’s attention with Heritage High School.
She said Hooper then turned towards Karmelo and said “you stabbed someone son?”
She then moved on to find the person who was stabbed. She did not know who it was yet.

@psyclopstv@astoogefan@jdmiles11 Yeah most folding knives have a blade that is only 3 inches long. 5 inches long is really strange for an everyday carry pocket knife.
@RODERIC66700892@ForzaNapoli2024@Real_Ames I didn't "make up" private property. It's their tent. They can ask people to leave it if they want.
If you can't understand this then you don't belong in America or even western society.
Sounds good to me. More upstanding citizens need to be involved in the jury process. It's a popular opinion that people should try to get out of jury duty instead of participating. That should change. Take a break from your daily grind and do something productive for the justice system.
@RODERIC66700892@ForzaNapoli2024@Real_Ames Yes it is all Karmelo's fault. He lost innocence when he trespassed and refused to leave when asked. Then he decided to escalate the situation by stabbing someone in the chest.
Justice would be a murderer getting the death penalty.
@RODERIC66700892@Real_Ames Because no reasonable person would be in fear of death or great bodily harm when they are escorted from a tent at a track meet.
