@DonGraven24652 Anthony Johnson was a free Black landowner in colonial Virginia who became one of the first legal slave owners in America.
In the 1655 caseย Johnson v. Casor, the Virginia court ruled that Johnson had the right to hold Casor for life. Thus he made slavery legal.
@DonGraven24652 The word slave comes from the name of the most desirable slaves. The Slavic people. Between the 8th century and the late 19th century Africa traded in approximately 1 to 1.25 million white European and American slaves. Thats more than twice as many slaves as were sold from Africa
@TheSpply@RobBush72308332@realalexsanglez Rain is why he was originally over there as a courtesy, after the rain ended so did the courtesy. Not one witness described him taunting over football. Those that disclosure said he called them all pussies and then called Austin a bitch.
@ant_trauma_cop@tariqnasheed@CjGazerro On the plus side he is now an accessory for his legal advice.
In prison insider trading takes on a whole different meaning.
@TheSpply@RobBush72308332@realalexsanglez Well it's all on the defense now. All they have to do is prove that a reasonable person would have refused to leave when asked. That a reasonable person would call the team pussies and Austin a bitch while fearing for their life and a reasonable person would kill over a shove.
@TheSpply@RobBush72308332@realalexsanglez I have been following the testimony and the news since it happened. None of Karmelos actions are consistent with him not being the instigator. As was testified to by every witness including the 1 defense witness on cross.
@TheSpply@RobBush72308332@realalexsanglez It was not long after the incident. People who experience a flight response tend not to act bold and make affirmative claims. That is consitent with mental preperation. A fear response would see people who confronted him having to calm him down before he would be able to talk.
@TheSpply@RobBush72308332@realalexsanglez It is not about "knowing these people" it is about casual observation of human behavior.
Unless you are one of the people who lacks an inner dialog. Then it would be perfectly understandable why you run with a naritive rather than try to understand motivations.
@TheSpply@RobBush72308332@realalexsanglez Karmelo brought the knife in violation of school and track meet rules showing malice of forethought. He immediately went to the knife preparing to stab someone before he was touched. And he escalated at every turn. That is premeditation. He was there with the intent to kill.
@TheSpply@MSFHMysticJoJo@thickbidenloads@RobBush72308332@realalexsanglez It is not the words, he was in an area designated for a school and team he was not part of. The weather had broke so the courtesy had ended. Only Karmelo had already planed to kill someone he was just trying to provoke someone.
@TheSpply@RobBush72308332@realalexsanglez That is why the first thing he told the officer was "he laid hands on me that is self defense." He wasn't afraid he was demonstrating he had planned it.
@TheSpply@RobBush72308332@realalexsanglez You are correct they didn't think he had a knife, karmelo was counting on that because he had already decided he was going to kill someone.
@TheSpply@MSFHMysticJoJo@thickbidenloads@RobBush72308332@realalexsanglez When Karmelo insisted that to be removed from a designated team tent they would have to use force. Compounded when Karmelo called them pussies and Austin a bitch.
He brought a knife showing premeditated intent then he intentionally escalated the confrontation.
@TheSpply@thickbidenloads@RobBush72308332@realalexsanglez Austin Metcalf was put in charge of the tent and set up by the coach.
In a high trust society we do not expect a 17 year old to be bringing a knife and waiting in ambush to kill someone.
Hence everyone believing the cold blooded killer was bluffing.
@TheSpply@thickbidenloads@RobBush72308332@realalexsanglez But that is not all he said or did. Karmelo said if they wanted him out of the tent they would have to move him. He called them all pussies and called Austin a bitch. That is provocation. The fact that he was waiting in ambush with a knife is premeditated.
@nova31990@megan_mayhem3 Based on the testimony Karmelo was desperately trying to escalate. In Texas that would end in a case of mutual combat.
Unfortunately Karmelo brought a deadly weapon and immediately used it. Demonstrating malice of forethought ie premeditation. He planned to kill someone.
@b1ackfamilyPAC@lulufleur 11 witnesses have consistent stories 3 witnesses gave additional details of Karmello acting as the Agent Provacatur. All agreeded Karmelo instigated.
And that has to be balanced against the 1. While not having been in the room it would appear 1st degree murder is in play.
@youngtrent_@david_zamrin@Cant_Be_Rated Too bad you are as much of a coward as your hero. Hopefully you learned from his profound stupidity and don't think you can murder in cold blood and walk.
@youngtrent_@david_zamrin@Cant_Be_Rated Every single adult in his life from family, to church, to teachers and coaches have failed him. They were absent when he needed mature adults to guide and train him up to be a man.
