Which makes it even more likely imo that someone is spoofing a bunch of pages trying to grift people out of their money over the situation.
A Net Full of Jello said:I'd go with looking for trouble. In my experience, the athletes and other students who are there to support the athletes will leave their stuff under the tent. This includes water bottles, wallets, purses, backpacks, etc. The only time someone was ever under a different school's tent, he or she was with someone from that school. Going off of the fact that it hasn't come out that Karemlo was with a friend who went to that school, I'm going to conclude that means he wasn't. He was in an area he didn't belong and was looking for a fight when someone said something to him.medog said:
Read that it was raining and Anthony was trying to stay out of it. Not sure why he was under another school's tent.
I have seen this one poster all over social media talking about how Austin was completely entitled by telling Karmelo where he was and was not allowed to sit. How she misses the complete entitlement of a stranger thinking he can sit under the tent of an opposing school among the students personal things, I don't know. We do not know witnesses have yet to say anything to the media that make Austin sound like he was the aggressor here.
A kid was sitting in an area he should have never been in and then challenged people who told him to get lost. He told one of the other kids "put your hands on me and see what happens" while refusing to move. Witnesses say they saw him reach in his backpack before any violence had happened. Karmelo was looking for trouble and he found it. Now one kid is dead and Karmelo will never have the chance to amount to anything in life.
The victims shoelaces looked like a noose.HoustonAg9999 said:
How long before melo says he was called n word?
Not doubting it as a possibility, but source?Nanomachines son said:Jeeper79 said:Eye witness accounts say they were pushing him out of their tent. They were probably aggressive but it doesn't sound like they were "jumping" him. Dick move, but not grounds for murder.Street Fighter said:
Im sure its true the twins jumped and beat the crap out of him and FAFO. Totally believable.
They were pushing him out of the tent because he was apparently going around looking through paths tents for things to steal and they caught him.
Correct, we learned this in the Amber Guyger case. Manslaughter means different things depending upon the state, but in Texas manslaughter is off the table if you meant to kill the person.Im Gipper said:
This is not a manslaughter case. He didn't act recklessly. He purposely stabbed him.
It's murder.
If sudden passion is proven, it's still murder.
Wrong. The facts in the story are quite basic. We see some version of this story occur every single day in this country.Geminiv said:
Seems like there's more facts coming out slowly and that no one HERE knows what actually happened. Because it now appears a good bit of what was discussed on this board before the thread disappeared isn't factual accounting.
That's 30 people who jumped him! Self defense!!!TAMU1990 said:

Killer culture that never holds itself accountable on anything.
So premeditated murder then?A Net Full of Jello said:
There was a story floating around right after this happened that said the night before, Austin was harassing Karmello's girlfriend, Karmello defended his girlfriend, and Austin broke his phone. Was that just completely rectally extracted?
I wonder how one goes about becoming a "suspected" white supremacist. It seems like it would be easy to tell; usually they will self identify…AggieKatie2 said:
Garbage post. Hope parents sue.

I am very interested to read the full report once all of the facts are known. I have a feeling that there is a lot more to this story that we don't yet know. None the less, it is a senseless tragedy that a teen was killed by another teen.

Because the facts matter. I am in no way justifying, or absolving the murder of a teen, but am very suspicious of this being a random occurrence, without any context.
DV beef?Ags4DaWin said:
….,,,l…,,,
Even without this incident little Karmelo was never going to amount to anything. He was always headed to jail. the only question was whether it was a DV beef, assault, drugs, or murder that put him there.
Guess we know now which it was gonna be
