  1. Karmelo's family put out a statement that the boys did not know one another.
  2. Pooka shell necklaces protect the neck and scratchy ass mexican hoodies protect the rest while a high blood alcohol level helps prevent excessive bleeding. Know the game kids....
  3. As I understand it, he was there prior to the victim walking up - as in he was already under the tent, causing the victim to bark at him to get away and the escalation ensued.
  4. Do you really not know the details of the story? Coaches warned their teams to watch the tents due to concerns of theft. At most of these track meets, spectators stay in the home side stands and fence surrounding the track. Competitors set up their tents in the visitor's stands and surrounding area. Spectators don't go over there, just athletes and coaches. Nothing I have seen or heard indicates he was trying to talk to girls, just that he was caught at their tent and things escalated unusually fast. Everything reported makes it appear that he did this deliberately. He wasn't wearing any school uniforms or identification. The knife was in his bag. When told to leave he postured with the "make me...see what happens" line and stabbed the victim when he closed the distance with the attacker. This all seems deliberate.
  5. He didn't know anyone at that tent, and he certainly didn't know the victim. Karmelo's parents stated that in a prepared statement. Again, there were prior concerns of theft at these meets so the coaches had kids watch the tents during events.
  6. Apparently he'd already been disciplined for carrying a knife on campus - which is this day, is a BIG problem. The details will come out, but I'd be surprised if he wasn't suspended. He wasn't participating in the event. That much seems to be clear. Other kids that they know, sure. Other kids that are not competing, not in school gear, is a completely different matter
  7. This is where I fall - kid's going away for decades, the question is how many. There's still a lot that will come out before the trial, and then after. It's obviously getting a lot of attention in Frisco, so the information outlets are flowing. It's a matter of sifting through it all to glean what is valid and what is just conjecture.
  8. How's the slide? From my limited experience the ones I played with had wicked stiff springs/slides
  9. DQ vs Whataburger - the epic battle for who can take longer to get you your food.
  10. That's not true, but they are apparently great at jury selection
  11. Not that there aren't knowledgeable people here, but for 1911's and other iconic brands there are DEEP rabbit-hole chatrooms that love nothing more than vetting older guns for their back-story and attributes. Same with Colt SA's, pre-64 winnies, etc. That ejection port being so high is wild.
  12. Two recent rumors that should be easy to confirm with cooperation from the HS that I want answers to: was he skipping school to be at the meet? Second - did he in fact, as the rumor-mill from HS kids is saying, get in trouble for bringing a knife to school recently?
  13. Lots of new stuff since you ran. Like tents. And cars.....
  14. Which I am. My kid has friends that knew the victim, were at the vigil at Hope Fellowship, and go to his school. I was just at the stadium weeks prior for soccer playoffs. Frisco doesn't have stadiums at the HS's, so everyone has spend quite a bit of time at this middle school stadium. There is also a new report that the attacker wasn't supposed to be at the meet. He was apparently skipping school. He also (allegedly) got into trouble earlier in the year for bringing a knife to school. Take this for what it is, an early report.
  15. Nobody said it was a universal experience - you inferred that and ran with it.
  16. I've seen it briefly, almost always to grab a phone and share something with another kid. More with girls than boys. Just hanging to hang, almost never, but that by itself isn't gospel, just never seen it at the dozens of meets I've been to. Why would you - you have your own tent and your own teammates to be with, why camp at another's tent and then become enraged when asked to leave? Makes no sense.
  17. There are reported to be multiple GoFundMe accounts, all operating as legitimate - which they clearly are not. Lot's a third-party grift trying to take advantage of an awful situation.
  18. Yes and no. Friends of friends do spent time together, but there has to be a reason. The majority of the time kids are spending time together on the football field/infield, not at the tent. They want to watch the events. If they come back to the tent, and they do, it's essentially an invited situation. What you don't see are random kids just parked under another teams tent. That's a huge red flag, especially against the backdrop of property theft concerns. Then for the kid who was told to leave to refuse, and escalate with threats of "make me" goes form confrontational to inciteful pretty quick.
  19. No, my experiences are with Frisco meets, covering an event that happened at a Frisco meet. At a stadium that I have been to dozens and dozens of times.
  20. Nobody "knows" the intent of the attacker but the attacker, but that is why the victim was watching the tent and why it escalated so quickly. During events you'll have the majority of the other kids on the football field, inside the track lanes cheering on their classmates. This leaves the tents exposed, and again, with concerns about theft, you have the coach have a kid camped out just in case.
  21. Bull. Kids that know each other is usual. Kids that are friends, dating, etc. is very usual. A complete stranger camped out under your tent is cause for alarm. When I say no "adults", I'm talking about parents, not event staff and coaches - to clarify not being near the tents. XC is different. That also isn't held at a stadium. As for kuykendall stadium, where I've been to dozens of meets and games, as Frisco HS's don't have their own stadiums.....is a recessed field, fenced off from the bleachers. There is no direct access to the field except through the outside fence. There is a walkway near the field to get up into the bleachers that also will have tents or at either endzone. This is why the coaches wanted kids to watch everyone's stuff as again, there had been concerns about theft at these meets.
  22. That's the angle? Really? This wasn't some back alley or gas station parking lot. The victim was told by his coaches to watch their tent. You see another kid in the tent you are told to watch and he's going to tell that kid to leave. That's what he was told to do as is very common at these meets. It was a clear act of provocation by the attacker who could have just walked away. He's a track athlete, not some out of town kid that doesn't know the landscape and how things are done. His initial acts were confrontational and his words touch me and see what happens are confrontational. It wasn't raining. It wasn't his tent. He chose to bring the knife. Your brain is broken.
