Leave a key under the doormat, leave some snacks in the pantry and a microwave dinner or three in the freezer, or even better, $20 on the counter for us to order pizza, and don't fucking wonder why, when you get home Sunday afternoon from whatever "convention" you and mom are attending, the TV is tuned to a scrambled Cinemax or Showtime channel, and why there's a half-empty tissue box and mom's expensive moisturizing lotion next to the TV.

May 19May 19 I stopped blaming gullibility, lack of critical thinking, and internet naivete long ago (though all those factors certainly contribute). These people want to be lied to and emotionally manipulated. They seek it out. The more blatantly obvious the bot or bad actor the better.

I go with Occam's razor here and just say most people are just really stupid and being "controversial" mofos is the zeitgeist of our time. I don’t even think they have the self awareness to want or seek it out. Their algorithms find the stupid to match their mindset and they jump down the rabbit hole.

May 26May 26 Wasn't he 17 on the date of the offense anyway? That's an adult for purposes of criminal prosecutions in Texas.
May 26May 26 Correct. There isn’t a choice whether to try someone who was 17 on the commission of an offense as a juvenile or an adult. 17 is an adult for the purposes of Texas criminal law. Edited May 26May 26 by Mantis Toboggan, MD
June 20Jun 20 From someone who saw the incident: However, the footage reviewed by the Daily Mail at the Frisco Independent School District’s headquarters shows no obvious physical confrontation between the two prior to the stabbing. The Daily Mail did not detect anything that indicated chaos was about to ensue. Captured by a high-angle camera positioned near the press box and typically used for football broadcasts, the footage shows the tent at the top left of the screen. Students are seen sitting idly beneath it, waiting for the competition to start. Then, seemingly out of nowhere, it becomes apparent that the moment has happened when an armed Anthony attacked Metcalf

June 25Jun 25 Charged. Texas teen Karmelo Anthony, 17, charged with first-degree murder over high school track meet stabbing of Austin Metcalf

June 25Jun 25 I would think that since they went with first degree murder that it would indicate they feel fairly confident this was not self defense of any kind…but I’m not a lawyer so I could be completely wrong.
June 25Jun 25 In Texas, capital murder is the most serious charge and murder is what would be “second-degree” in many states but is a first-degree felony. The DA is not wordsmithing good. LOL at chainsaw announcing that of course this won’t be fair. Edited June 25Jun 25 by 956 Worldwide

Not really. If they are going to charge, this is how you charge it. Manslaughter and criminally negligent homicide don't fit the facts. "First Degree Murder" isn't really a thing in Texas. You have Murder, which is a first degree felony. But at the punishment phase it can be reduced to a second degree felony if the defendant can prove the murder caused by "sudden passion arising from an adequate cause" (basically, was provoked in a way that prevented rational thought).

Two things I’ve learned in my years on this site; the law is whatever our corrupt justice system says it is on that particular day and the surly legal cabal will find a way to justify it. 17 hours ago, Hate said: I would think that since they went with first degree murder that it would indicate they feel fairly confident this was not self defense of any kind…but I’m not a lawyer so I could be completely wrong. Most of our on site lawyers are completely wrong but does stop them from chiming in.
