Cant happen soon enough. This whole presser crap was an utter disgrace. No shame, no morals, or anything of conscious from Dominique Alexander and all the people who spoke today specially the murderer's mother IMHO. <snipped by me>
You don't sound judgemental at all, it's truly an ethical dilema that is worth serious consideration.
I’ve seen one’s local to my area have a specific request with a specific cost. Once they’ve met their goal, they keep raising the goal, bit by bit, sometimes until it’s 4 to 5 times over the original goal. At the end, they will state any left over funds will be donated. I often wondering how the first contributors feel, especially if they donated on the more generous side. I guess it’s really neither here nor there in the grand scheme of things.
Agree. This whole thing is a sickening disgrace to humanity.
I noticed the spokesperson asked for continued support for the family after he named the long list of past fund raisers. I also noticed the mom, who I felt some sympathy for, said Metcalf boys. I thought I had misunderstood, but it was also in the written article of what was said. I wondered if their defense is going to also name AM’s twin in their case?
Or “thou shall not kill”, or Jesus’ suggestion on turning the other cheek
Given the police report and all the witness statements, it seems to me that KA was exhibiting extreme paranoia to conduct himself in this manner at 10AM at a District wide track meet.
And reading that he was involved in an altercation at school a month earlier, it's concerning that his parents did not see this coming!
These young, stand-out athletes especially are very susceptible to head injury (playing concussed) while chasing the bling of future contracts they believe they are destined for. I'm beginning to see KA and his family in this light. But let's keep the money rolling in and get a PR team on track with that.
Leaving jail as if KA was a celebrity, what are they thinking?
Who's truly looking out for this kid who just stabbed another kid in the heart....
MOO
I do think it’s hard to be in his parent’s position, knowing in your heart, your son, more than likely, will be serving a prison sentence. I don’t necessarily agree with their decisions. It seems negative things have been said about both boys, not just KA. I don’t know them, maybe they are also being taken advantage of by folks with an agenda? Not really sure. It’s not every day you hear of one 17 year old stabbing another in the heart.
I caught that also. I think they are gasping for straws, realizing their son may be looking at a lengthy prison sentence. JMO
I understand that KA’s parents are in a hard position and so are AM’s with the main difference that it was KA’s actions who created this situation: he brought a knife to a track meeting, he chose to use the knife when pushed and told to leave
Oh I definitely agree, silence would be golden here.
Since you're so sure, from where?
AK’s mom makes a statement regarding public funds in this article.

I haven't posted much on this thread because, well, It's very upsetting. But, as a person who ran track myself and then being one of the moms that supplied food/drinks to the tent for my. kids' track teams I definitely understand about the team tents. I really hate the fact that the tent situation has been downplayed and/or treated like it was just bleacher seats that were not assigned. The tent area is not the same as the spectator area and is definitely not intended to be free range by just anyone. It's guaranteed suspicious behavior to be inside another team's tent unless you are friends with at least one person and you're there to hang out. This does not sound like that.
