They are gonna talk about how the person that pulled the knife was a good kid that made a mistake

[gerrittt]

Why are "doctors and engineers" behaving in such a way?

The difference is very clear between the victim and the damned killer.

[brian-vandenberg]

Premeditated murder. He brought a knife to a high school sporting event. Ask yourself why???

[Lester-lv]

People saying ban knives, ban guns, blah, blah, blah, BAN GHETTO CULTURE!

Praying for God to comfort this poor family. 🙏 So much evil in the awful world.

[dpharr]

I'm surprised they showed an image of the killer

Even if the boy who died was in the wrong in that whole situation does not justify dying over it.That boy had his whole life ahead of him and died over something stupid and petty. If the roles were reversed riots would break out and towns would burn.

Why did the black teen think he could just sit with the other schools team with no issue? Why didnt he just go back to the seats for people watching when asked to leave? Because he wanted something to happen that could give him a reason to stab someone. The stabber wasnt just minding his business in the stands and then told to move. Dude went to the other teams tent, he wanted this and made moves to make it happen.

HATE crime put this blight on society away forever, he will continue to murder! Horrible. God bless this victims family who has lost their beautiful son.

Who would bring a knife to a track meet?

[sleepingalongtherazorsedge]

Imagine if the 2 guys were in opposite roles here. I can imagine the riots.

[BevoGuy]

This is what happens when our political leaders foster and normalize a culture of violence.
