I kind of get the impression it might be a hybrid of the two situations you mentioned. The 15-year-old took the weed and ran. The 16-year-old (at the time) chased him down trying to retrieve his stuff. He didn’t start stabbing him, he just tried to get his stuff back. At that point the 15-year-old jumped on him and started thrashing him pretty good, and it wasn’t until this point the 16-year-old took out the knife. So if I’m selling you an Xbox, you take it and run, I chase you to get it back, then you start beating me up, and THEN I stab you, what’s the opinion?

Back to the actual case: it’s been reported that after he stole the weed, a struggle ensued and the victim ended up on top of the killer, who at that time stabbed him. I understand why this can’t be self defense, but given the circumstances I kinda get a lenient verdict. If he was selling an Xbox I think everyone looks at this differently. I realize it was illegal to sell the weed, but the guy stole from him and then was beating him up when he tried to get his stuff back. I don’t know that I agree with the sentence, but I don’t know that I disagree with it, either. I’d be curious to hear all of the details of the case.

I don’t see it. I’m a big proponent of protecting yourself, but somebody running away from a minor theft doesn’t really seem like a justification for shooting them in the back.

Yeah, pretty unarguable

Bad deal all around. The cop has to live with that for the rest of his/her life, and a family lost someone for no reason due to a terrible accident. I’m kind of curious… in this particular case is the race of the pedestrian relevant, as the writer of the article seems to think? If a civilian was involved instead of an officer, would the victim be identified as “a black man in his 40s?” Just seemed strange to me

I’ve enjoyed watching these games the last few days. The best part is the respect I’ve seen on the field. I’ve watched 6 of the games and haven’t seen an unsportsmanlike penalty, or even any pushing and shoving. With our country being as divided as it is right now, a lot could be learned from Texas HS football. There are teams with kids of all colors playing together as brothers. There have been games with teams of almost all white kids playing against teams made up of entirely black kids. These young men are helping each other up, patting helmets to congratulate good plays, consoling each other in defeat, and overall just showing a level of respect that is sorely lacking in our society today.

Paetow wins 27-24! What a game!

Call stands

Reviewing it. Looked like if anything they didn’t give him enough on the original spot. We’ll see

Pick it up by an inch!

Paetow with a 4th and 1 inside the 5. Timeout

CS jumps offsides on Paetows fg attempt and gives them a first down. Awful mistake. 35 yd fg under that pressure he’s maybe 50-50 to make it. He’s had some sketchy xps this game

Paetow holds them to a fg. CS up 24-21 with Paetows possession upcoming

I assume he’s in Mexico by now

21-21, going to OT! Great game!

CS with a huge punt to the Paetow 14. 1:09 remaining

Paetow holds on 3rd down, CS showing like they’re going for it from their own 29, Paetow timeout. Likely just trying to force them to call it and then punting

CS forces a 3 and out. Good punt for Paetow to the CS 21. 2 min remaining

And then a 71-yd TD rush for CS on their first play! Tied at 21 with 4:04 left

Paetow picks up several first downs before coming up a yard short on 4th and 8. CS takes over around their own 30. Paetow did burn almost 5 min of clock

CS drives down near the red zone but pass incomplete on 4th down, Paetow takes over.

Both teams’ defenses keeping them in the game. Paetow averaging 56 points a game, CS 49

Paetow takes the lead, 21-14

14-14 after 3, but paetow with 2nd and goal from the 1 to start the 4th
