Grainy Footage And Big Questions The Karmelo Anthony Saga Continues

That “blurry video” is doing a lot of damage because people are using it to prove whatever they already believe. We slow the whole thing down and talk through what we can actually see in the Carmelo Anthony tent footage, what we cannot see, and why the release of grainy surveillance video can crank up division instead of clearing the air.

One moment keeps sticking out to us: right after the skirmish, as Carmelo leaves, a person runs to a trash can and then goes back like nothing happened. Maybe it’s nothing. Maybe it’s not. Either way, it’s the kind of detail that makes a case feel weird and raises real questions about behavior, intent, and what got missed in the public narrative. We also talk about the “Eddie” confusion, the seating confrontation, and why so many people are locked into guilt vs innocence without talking about prevention.

Then we move to the bigger point: safety. Youth violence prevention starts with realism, not wishful thinking. A lot of teens carry knives every day for “protection,” and whether you like that or not, it changes what a confrontation can turn into in seconds. We talk de-escalation, why kids should not be tasked with removing other kids at school events, and why adults, schools, and event organizers have to do the adulting so students don’t end up paying with their lives.

If this conversation helps one parent give better advice or one kid decide to walk away, it matters. Subscribe, share this with someone raising teens, and leave a review with your take: what should schools and adults do differently to keep kids safe?

What The Released Footage Shows

SPEAKER_04 8:57

Carmelo Anthony. Is a story that's never going to end. As y'all know, they released the camera, uh, they released uh camera footage um to show what uh blurry, blurry footage of what happened. People who think he guilty say, see, this shows he's guilty. Those of us that think he was overcharged and innocent, manslaughter at the most, but innocent, we're saying, see, it shows self-defense. So at the end of the day, they know what they were doing when they released that, when they released that footage. They released some grainy ass footage that literally to me don't really show shit for real. It is it's blurry, and for this to be 2026, and we still getting video footage that looks like Atari, Atari footage. All good. Handle your business, bruh. So I'm gonna pull up that video and then y'all tell me what y'all see. Where is the Carmela, Anthony? Video, and put a one in the chat if you saw the video.

SPEAKER_03 10:40

Put a one in the chat if you saw the video.

SPEAKER_04 11:00

Austin Metcalf enters the stadium. Now, some people are saying this is Austin and his brother and his crew saying they are headed to the tent to confront uh to confront what is his name? Uh Carmelo Anthony. Sorry. Drawing a blank. What's going on, Keisha? Keisha here. What's up, Keisha? So this shows them walking in. Like I said, some people say this shows Austin and his crew uh mobbing in to go to go confront Carmelo Anthony about sitting in the tent. I don't know. I haven't heard any confirmation on what, if that's true or not. That is what I've been told. I claim Cleveland, Keisha. What's up? So this is them walking to the tent. Now I'm gonna fast forward a little bit. Now, this is where Carmelo Anthony enters the stadium. As you can see, he got his bag on. He walks around.

SPEAKER_03 12:30

Carmelo Anthony enters the tent.

SPEAKER_04 12:42

Austin moves next to Carmelo Anthony. Now, three minutes later is when the attack happens. You see it right there, boom, and then now you should see Carmelo come out the top of the tent and left. Now you see Carmelo Anthony getting the hell out of there. And and gone. But you know what's what what what what what what what nobody's talking about? When the attack happened, there was a there was a guy.

SPEAKER_03 13:49

That went and threw something in the trash.

SPEAKER_04 13:56

Um, what did he throw in the trash? I don't know, but it that you see is this white outline is is Carmelo leaving the scene. Now, what did Austin go sit right next to Carmelo for? It was uh it was plenty of room. There was plenty of room, other places for the tent. So he sat next to Carmelo. What was going on? What was being said? Was this a setup? That's exactly what I said, Elise. This this footage, I believe this footage looks like this for uh intentionally. I believe this footage looks like this intentionally.

SPEAKER_03 14:46

Like I know it could be clearer than this.

SPEAKER_04 15:03

What did that person throw in the trash?

SPEAKER_03 15:09

That was with uh what was with Austin? Uh, give me a second.

SPEAKER_04 16:06

With all the four K footage, go ahead and tell them, see Tux. Key Tuck say with all the four K footage they have everywhere else, you mean to tell me this is the best footage they got? Look at this footage, y'all. This shit look like Atari. For the old heads out there that remember Atari, this look like Atari. This is blurry footage yet. People are trying to say, see, Carmelo, and this is what I understand, man. Why are people so stuck? And I want to talk about Eddie. I want to talk about Eddie. Like, what the fuck? How did Eddie invite Carmelo into the tent and then act like he didn't know Carmelo? But we got plenty of footage and pictures with Eddie kicking it with Carmelo. Something ain't something ain't right about that Eddie guy. It was like it almost felt like Carmelo was set up or something. Yeah, at least at least the Atari was even better than this.

SPEAKER_02 17:21

Now, let me do some zooms.

The Trash Can Run Looks Off

SPEAKER_03 17:33

Let's zoom in, y'all. It's a part I want to see.

SPEAKER_04 17:40

It's a part I want y'all to see. Let me see.

SPEAKER_03 17:43

When the when the when the thing happens. Give me one second, y'all.

SPEAKER_04 17:52

We're gonna dissect this video. All right, look.

SPEAKER_03 17:58

Here we go. Now watch this. Oh shit. All right now. Watch.

SPEAKER_04 18:09

When Carmelo, when you see Carmelo come out the top, watch, you're gonna see somebody run over to this trash can and throw something away. What the heck was that? No, I'm not. I don't know if it was a setup. I'm saying, I don't know what it was, but I want y'all to tell me what what this guy, what, why did this person what were they throwing away? So you see, this is in the tent. I want somebody to help me out with this chat because I noticed this over the weekend, and I didn't have anybody to talk to about it. Now, this is where the skirmish happens. Now you're gonna see Carmelo Anthony after he apparently stabs Austin for pushing him or putting his hands on him, trying to manhandle him. You're gonna see Carmelo Anthony come shooting out the top of this tent, but then you're gonna see somebody run over here and it's like they threw something in this trash. What the hell was that?

SPEAKER_03 19:11

Watch it again.

SPEAKER_04 19:22

Well, anything, okay. If they touched the trash can, what the hell did they do? I'm not saying what they did, but after somebody gets stabbed, for somebody to run to the trash can and don't do anything and go back, just don't make no sense. What the hell would they run to the trash can for at all? Somebody just got stabbed, and the first thing you do is run to the trash can and then run back. Explain that to me. I don't care if he threw something, if he didn't do anything. What was the purpose? Carmelo came out, everybody skirmishing and running, and then this person just says, Oh, I'm just gonna run to the trash can and then I'm gonna just go back. No, sum up. See, that's the difference between me and a lot of people who don't use their common sense. I don't know if he threw nothing in the trash, but I know that looks suspicious. I know if somebody got stabbed, I know I'm not gonna just run to a trash can and then walk back. So y'all tell me, what what was that? What do you think it was? It wasn't just the he wasn't doing it for exercise. That wasn't part of the track meet. I don't know what they did. I'm just pointing out suspicious, I'm just pointing out suspicious shit. I don't know what they did because we got footage like it's from the 1965. So I can't see if we had clear, and that's that might be why the footage is blurry. I don't know. But if we had clear footage, I would know if he threw something in the trash or what they did. But since we're dealing with 1965 uh grainy footage in 2026, see Carmelo dip out, then this person just runs. What is this person doing? And then they start walking regular after they touch the trash can. This is just a weird case, and normally when a case is weird, it's because something is going on that didn't need to be going on.

Why Many Teens Carry Knives

SPEAKER_04 21:50

Whomever had the knife was there with intent. Grandma Kathy, um, this is. Being not in tune with the culture, people carry. I'ma tell y'all, let me tell matter of fact, I think this will help a lot of people. This will help a lot of people. This is what help a lot of y'all people. Let me tell y'all a little secret. A lot of kids carry knives. Let me tell y'all a secret. When I was running around, me and my cousins, I never carried a knife. But my cousins carried knives every day. Now, did they step? Did they end up stabbing people? No. But they had it for protection. So for all of y'all who think because he had a knife, this is because y'all don't know the culture. Y'all are out of touch with what goes on in the community. See, Carmelo has uh obviously a lot of things that he may deal with outside of the track meet. So I'm gonna use my cousin, for example. He carried a knife every day, never end up having to stab nobody because nobody put their hands on. But y'all got it. I just want people who don't understand these younger generations or just understand what goes on, they carry knives every day. So I think you should tell your grandchildren and tell your children that there's a good majority of people who carry weapons every day. You should know that. So if you know that, you'll avoid confrontation because I'm starting to realize there's a lot of people out here that don't understand how much how much people, how many people carry knives, how many young people carry knives for protection every day. It just so happened this went out of hand, but I I want y'all to know he did it's not a situation where somebody just okay, I'm carrying, I'm I'm bringing a knife today, only today. I'm bringing a knife today to attract me to kill somebody. That's not how it goes, and I'm seeing a lot of people who say that, and it's like, oh, they don't know, they don't know, they don't know that this is that's why you should tell your kids to mind their business, because there is a lot of people who carry knives every day, not just the track meets, they carry them to the mall, they carry them to the movies, they carry them to the park, they carry them everywhere all day, every day for their protection. So whether you think Carmelo's guilty or innocent, that's not my concern right now. I'm just trying to educate people to what actually goes on in a world that obviously a lot of people are not familiar with. And see, people like me, I am familiar with it. So, guess what? I'm not gonna go out of my way to police people who aren't who that's not my concern. Because I know people carry knives every day, not just a so I don't look at it as oh, he had a knife, so he came with intent. No, he had a knife because he probably carried knives every day, all day for his protection, like my cousins, like my friends. That is, and I'm not saying it's right, I'm not even saying that that is right or wrong. I'm just telling you that is what it is, y'all. This is the worst. See, this is why my son or like my little nephews, they won't go out their way to be pushing and grabbing people because they know people carry guns. Why? Because I mean knives and guns, because I let them know, and so what this Carmelo Anthony stories told me is a lot of people aren't aware of their surroundings and what's really going on out here. Like I said, I don't carry a knife, I'm good with these. I'm 6'2, 6'3, 230, 240 pounds. I don't, I never carried a knife, I never carried a gun. So I'm not saying it's right or wrong. I'm trying to let y'all know. If y'all think just Carmelo Anthony had a gun that I mean, had a knife that day, no, Carmelo had a knife, and I bet you there were about 20 to 30 knives at that meet, if if not 10, 15, 20. I know that from experience, and so that's why I said one thing I'm learning about this Carmelo Anthony, whether uh story, whether you're on the side that he's guilty or you think he's innocent. One thing I am learning is there's a disconnect in our cultures where people don't under, we we totally don't understand each other. See, I understand that people carry knives all the time. I've seen them, I've been with them, but they've never nobody put their hands on them, so they never used it. So y'all would never know. So the people who don't understand, they look at it, they really think that Carmelo Anthony literally must have brought a knife to that track meet with intentions of killing somebody. No, it just didn't happen. That's not how it goes. Like, like I said, if that's the case, everybody would be who had a knife would just be like, okay, I'm carrying it to kill somebody. And another thing, uh and like I said, the the trial is over, that's the for the judge and the jury, and he got an appeal he can do. I'm not about to sit up here and argue about whether he is guilty or innocent or that. I'm trying, I what I'm noticing is there's a lot of misconceptions and a lot of unknowns that people don't really. For example, for example, I we like I told you, I went to a suburban school, Shaker Heights, Ohio. When I went there, it was basically black and white, black, white, Chinese, everybody. We was a melting pot, diverse school, very good school. When especially when I went there, it fell off a little bit. But when I went to football games or I went to basketball games, I would have my cousins. My cousins were from East Cleveland, a little bit rougher neighborhood, but we we were family. Everywhere we went, my cousins had knives in their shoe. Let me repeat that. Everywhere I went, when my cousins went with me, they carried knives and they put them in their shoe. Now, did we stab? Did my cousins stab anybody or did they end up killing? No, never. Not one of my cousins who I hang with, none of them have did prison time, none of them have gone to jail, none of that. But they carried knives every day. I didn't give a damn if they were in the grocery store. I don't care if we were in the most suburban, safest place ever. My cousins had their knife with them. They called it a shank. And they used to say all the time, I'm not going nowhere without my shank. And I'm telling y'all this so maybe y'all can educate some of y'all kids just to let them know it's not sweet out here. You don't want to invite any confrontation if you can help it. I gotta break it to y'all. People don't understand that, and that's what I'm saying when I see this Carmelo Anthony thing. A big reason why we have this divide besides the case, we have this divide because I'm seeing more and more we don't understand each other. Our two, we a lot of us come from two different worlds where, like I said, I'm not surprised he had a knife. I know a lot of people carry knives, so I don't look at it as oh, he had since he had a knife, he went, he went to the track meet looking to kill somebody. No, because guess what? Guess what somebody with a knife looking to kill somebody do? They don't poke them one time. Carmelo Anthony is not Bruce Lee, he's not a ninja, he didn't know that was just a kill shot. If he really wanted to kill him, you're gonna be poking the shit out of somebody. I don't think his intention, no, I'm sure I know for a fact Carmelo Anthony's intention was not to kill Austin. I know that for a fact. He was that wasn't his intention. If it was his intention, he would have stabbed him multiple times, he would have had multiple pokes. Carmelo Anthony wasn't some trained assassin that know that okay, he comes here one poke and he dead. Like, no. Like I said, guilty, innocent. We've already had the trial. I'm not even going into that because I'm not gonna, I'm not gonna kill you if you think he's guilty or whatever. Like everybody's entitled to their opinion, but I am gonna put out some information that people out there with an open mind will take in and just understand it more. I'm not trying to change anybody's mind or anything. I just want there to be some understanding to understand. Like, look, y'all, if apparently y'all didn't know, but there are a lot of kids who carry knives every day. Y'all need to know that because obviously I see a lot of people don't know that. A lot of people think this is oh, he had a knife, so he came to no, he had a knife because a lot of them carry knives. You just don't know about it because rarely do people end up putting their hands on them and the knife comes into play, but the knife is somewhere on their person, whether it's in their shoe or it's in their sock or just in their pocket, they're gonna have that knife, man. So let you, I want y'all to know that. So when you approach somebody, especially a young kid, I would assume they got a knife on them. That's how more, that's how prevalent it is. I would assume that person have a knife on them. And then now now, base your decision to confront that person or not, based on knowing that they probably got a knife on them or a gun. Yep, the right to bear arms. Grandma Kathy,

School Property Does Not Stop Violence

SPEAKER_04 33:54

let me see. This this is the dick disconnect. This is because I care about the youth, I care about our kids, I want everybody to stay safe. So I just told Grandma Kathy, I just told you, my c we carry guns everywhere, I mean knives everywhere. I just told you we carried them on school property. So, what I'm saying is, would you rather tell your child to leave people alone, or would you rather them not be here and us just argue about, oh, it was on school property, oh, they shouldn't have had it. No, just everybody stale, don't confront people you don't have to. That should just be the rule. I want to see everybody stay safe because arguing about, well, this is school property, well, this is that ain't gonna bring Austin back. And so, like going forward, I don't want another person to feel okay, long as I'm right, I'm good, but then they're not here no more. So we get to argue whether it was on school property, we get to argue whether it was right, but guess what? Austin is in the dirt, Austin ain't here no more, and that's the saddest part. So to sit up here and try to argue about if it was right because it was on school, just take it from me. Same thing I tell my cousins and my little my younger generation, avoid confrontation at all costs, don't be the cause of confrontation, just don't do that because guess what? What'll happen is you might you might run up into the wrong situation, get unalived, and the only thing we'll have is us arguing about what was right, what was wrong, but that ain't gonna bring that kid back. That's not gonna bring Austin back. It's not God not gonna say, oh yeah, you know what, that was on school property. That was he shouldn't have had a knife on school property. Go ahead back, go back to your life, Austin. That's not gonna happen, and that's what I'm sad about because people are so stuck on what was right, what was wrong, instead of trying to figure out how this could, how, how, how could, how can you stay alive? How can we how can we keep don't go to avoid all confrontation at all costs? If you are forced to defend yourself, defend yourself. But it is very dangerous in life to to be security when you're not security. So are we gonna tell the okay? So, what what my thing is this this was a tragedy. Rest in peace, Austin Metcalf. Nobody deserves to die. He didn't deserve to die. It was it was foul. I would never want to see nobody go out like that. But what I'm saying is, when we move forward, knives, Walmart still selling that knife. See how see how people don't give a fuck? Walmart still selling that knife. As a matter of fact, that knife is selling more because of this tragic tragedy. So that knife is still gonna be out there, whether Carmelo is locked up doing a hundred years or not, that knife is still getting sold, and that knife will still be floating around in the community. So, are we gonna learn from this? Are we gonna tell people to can tell kids to continue to confront people and take stuff in their own hands that that are that's not their job? And then if they get taken out, the only thing we can say is, oh, this wasn't right. But that person is gone, that child is gone. I would never want, I'm telling my son every day, don't confront nobody, man, unless they confront you and you got to defend yourself. But I don't want you, I don't care if you're black, white, male, fit, whatever, even females. You put your do not put yourself, you can only control what you do. You can't control people's reaction. I just want people to realize knives are on. Let me let me let's let's let's we gotta put our big our big our uh our big grown pants on today. Violence happens everywhere. Weapons are carried everywhere. Do you think this is the first knife that was on school property? Do you think this is the first knife that was on school property? We have to stay safe, whether it's school property, whether it's uh on the street, regular, whatever, keep our children safe. It is dangerous for any kids to to play the roles that adults should be playing,

Adults Failed The Safety Setup

SPEAKER_04 39:19

right? Which is why I say the tragedy is that Austin left lost his life. But the but the really sad part to me is that the adults didn't didn't do the adulting, the adults didn't have the structure, the adults didn't make sure this was a safe environment. The kids normally, when kids are policing themselves, that's because the adults aren't doing it. Nobody has held one adult that was at that place accountable at all. Nobody, it's like the adults just no fault, like the adults have no part to blame, no fault, no nothing. Uh that's the sad part to me. I'm not blaming the kids. Like I said, rest in peace, Austin Metcalf. I'm not sitting up here defending Carmelo, Anthony. I'm thinking about the next kid. I'm thinking about how we can learn from this. You can say, yeah, Carmelo should have fought with his fists. But see, when you open up that door, you can't control what that person does. So my advice, and it's the same advice I give to my family and people I care about, don't open that door. Don't even open that door. Because whether that person who retaliates is right or wrong, if it goes wrong, terribly wrong, right or wrong ain't gonna bring you back. That is the sad part to me because people are so caught up on trying to figure out shitty had it at school grounds, this and that. Y'all missing a point. What going forward? Just tell your innocent kids. So let me play, let me play devil's advocate real quick. Let me play devil's advocate real quick. Like I said, I'm I'm an open-mind, open-minded person. I see both sides. And so when I look at both sides, this is why I said if you think Carmelo Anthony is guilty, I'm not ridiculing you, I'm not arguing or cussing you out or talking about you. I can see how you feel that way, especially if you don't come from Carmelo's background or just the background of a lot of youth or around it to know that, like I said, carrying a knife is really normal. And it maybe if more people knew that, maybe more people would leave people alone and say, you know what? I'm and I'm not I'm giving Austin or people like him the same advice I give myself. I'm not going, I'm not gonna be at a public game and trying to physically remove anybody from anything. I'm not doing it. Guess what? Let's paint Carmelo as an evil person looking to do evil things. Let's just let's let me play devil's advocate. Let me go with you. Follow me, y'all. Let's paint Carmelo as this evil person who did who was looking to do an evil thing. And let's paint Austin as the perfect college uh high school student who didn't have who who was innocent and and didn't have uh evil bone in his body. So let's paint that picture, right now. Hindsight is 2020. Would you want this evil, would you want this innocent high school student, would you want them to go physic be going to physically remove this evil person and and and and in in in and creating a conflict? Or would you want him to just leave leave that person alone and handle your business and let somebody else handle it? Which one hindsight is 2020? Which one would you want? Because I'm not here to paint or paint nobody as Carmelo's innocent. I'm not here for that today. I'm here for understanding. So whether you're on this side or that side, you'll have a better understanding of what actually went on and how to handle it, handle it going forward. Are you going to tell your kids, hey, if you see somebody, I want you to be the person and remove them. If you see a kid, and you are a kid yourself, but if you see a kid who's not where they're supposed to be, are you gonna tell your son or daughter to go approach that person, touch that person, push that person? I hope not. I'm not telling my kid, I'm telling my son, my innocent son, let the security, let the authorities do their job. You don't do it. Your job, if you are to track meet, your job is to cheer your team on or actually run and participate. Those are your only jobs, son. Your job is not to see who's sitting where they're supposed to be sitting and get all because in a perfect world, we'll match a punch for a punch, a push for a push, a scream for a scream. That's the perfect world. Everything would just be even, but we don't live in a perfect world. We live in a very imperfect world where sadly violence is a big part of this world we live in. So we have to deal with the world we live in, not deal with the world we wish it could be. So don't teach our kids to teach your kid that people may have knives, people may have guns. Or if like I'm at a calves game and somebody not sitting where they're supposed to be, I'm gonna be the person to enforce the rules. No, no, there are bad people out here. So why are you gonna go around enforcing and doing something that you're not that's not even your job? It that's the saddest part, and everybody who hasn't lost their child and is just chiming in are like, yeah, but it was school property, but it was this, but it was that, but it's like that ain't none of that gonna bring Austin back. Austin, the only control Austin had was Austin could have controlled that he never even spoke to Carmelo Anthony. That's the only thing he controlled. Austin can't control if Carmelo Anthony has a knife and it's on school property. Or the knife, the knife, let me get let me let me let me give y'all real uh some truth, Sarah. Knives work on school property the same way they work if they on the street. If they puncture your heart, you will be unalived. It doesn't matter if it's on school property, it don't matter if it's in church. Knives work the same, whether it's in church, whether it's in school property, whether it's in prison, whether it's on the street, whether it's at the park, whether it's at your house, a knife does the same thing. And I don't want to, I don't want my son to be going to confront people, and then he gets stabbed up and he gone, and the only thing I have to lean on is that person was wrong because they were on school property. That ain't gonna do nothing for me. That ain't gonna do nothing for me. So I give advice to help the innocent people out there who don't who are not trying to cause any commotion for the innocent kids out there that want to do their best to stay alive. Don't come for just don't don't do that. You put yourself in harm's way, and now we get to argue about whether it was right, whether, but that ain't gonna bring that that child back, and that's the saddest part of this whole thing.

The 911 Call And What It Means

SPEAKER_04 48:43

I listened to that 911 call. That 911 call was heartbreaking to hear. You can hear them in the background trying to save Austin's life, and you can hear him saying, Come on, Austin, come on, Austin, while the person's talking to the 911 thing and they shocking them and they doing CPR and they doing all type that shit is sad, man. I don't know if y'all heard the 911 call. That 911 call was so sad. I think I have it, as a matter of fact, and like I said, so so for Austin to lose his life behind all of that is sad as fuck. Like, I'm not happy at all about it. I don't I I I I have compassion for everybody involved. But now that it's happening, now that it has happened, I realize there's a lot of people who don't realize the dangers that are out here. Maybe if Austin knew, maybe if I had a chance, if Austin was around me and I was before this all happened, if he was one of the kids that come around me and I give a lot of, I give a lot of knowledge. I got a young boy that comes cut the grass and does stuff, I talk to him. I love just to tell kids what's out here and how to stay alive. I've survived in a lot of dangerous environments. I people who are where I've been in life, they are no longer here. And so I would tell them, man, you never know what type of weapon or what somebody has on them. Don't and don't open that door if unless you have to open that door. I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm saying that from the bottom of my heart because it is sad, and the only thing we can do is control ourselves. I'm not sitting up here defending nobody, I wasn't there. I don't know exactly what the hell happened. I got my own son and my own problems to worry about. I'm not sitting up here defending Carmelo Anthony with my life, I wasn't there, so all I can do is take the facts that we've been told and make my opinion, and that's it. But I got compassion for everybody involved. I don't want to see no kid die before they even had a chance to live life. But I'm really like I said, I really realize this is a time to let and some people aren't open-minded. I'm not talking to those people, I'm talking to those people who believe hey, that Carmelo Anthony was guilty, and but they still have an open mind to understand what went on and what goes on to help give their children and nieces and nephews and grandchildren to give them good advice about what's really going on out here. We have to deal with the world we live in. We can't deal with the world that we wish we lived in. We wish nobody would punch, we wish there was no violence. I wish there was no violence. I wish everybody was allowed to sit wherever they was, whatever tent. I wish we would say, hey man, if you want to get out to everybody, not just Carmelo or Austin. I'm just wish that we were just a peaceful world in general. Live and let live. But that's not the world we live in, and so we can either teach our kids how to survive in the world we live in, or we can teach our kids how to survive in the world that we wished we live in, lived in. And if we teach our kids rules of engagement as if everybody else, everybody is innocent and nobody's gonna do too much and nobody's gonna harm them, then we're doing our kids a disservice. I don't want to see no kid. I don't want to see no kid lose their life. I don't want to see no kid doing the job of an adult. That is why I am holding the adults accountable. Y'all can hold these kids. I think what were they 17, 16, whenever this happens, 17 years old, 16, high schoolers. Y'all can hold all the high schoolers accountable. I'm not holding a bunch of high schoolers accountable. We all did dumb shit in high school. Everybody in this chat did something stupid in high school. So I'm not faulting Austin. I'm not even faulting Austin or or or acting like he's some bad person because he confronted him. I'm not even saying that. He could have been just trying to protect his school and his property. I don't know, but what I am saying is that we can't just keep not letting our kids know that this is a dangerous world, and at any given moment, it only takes a split second for you to be out of here. So the best thing you can do is stay out the way. You go, hey son, you go to a track meet, you go there to watch, you go to a football game, you go there to watch the fucking game. They have security that are paid to remove people and put people where they're supposed to go. You let them do that job because I don't want you inviting any type of energy, because I'm not gonna be good with just arguing, talking about yeah, my son ain't here no more, but yeah, it was school property and he shouldn't have had it. That don't do nothing. I can't live with that. I can't that's not gonna give me any peace. So the only way I can have peace is if my son stays out of situations that he does not have to be in. I don't want my and I would cuss the school out if they had my son doing that. Don't have my son policing the whole other kids. Anything can happen, anything can happen, and if it don't happen one time, if that's your if that's what you do, if that's how you handle all situations, then at some point you're gonna run into the wrong person who's gonna do some dumb shit and it's gonna affect you when you could have just hey, stay out of it, enjoy the game, enjoy your classmates when it's time for you to run or it's time for you to play kick ass. Do your do your thing, but man, we can't have in general, whether what side you're on, man, we can't have kids policing kids, man. Y'all gotta y'all gotta hold some of these adults accountable, man. Y'all gotta quit arguing back and forth about what two children, two, two, uh, uh, what, two child, a child, two young boys who aren't even adults yet. We on this thing arguing back and forth about what they did. Nobody's talking about where the fuck was the adults and what what are they what are they teaching? What are they running? What are what what what are they and putting in these kids' heads?

SPEAKER_03 56:43

Carmelo and Austin included.

SPEAKER_04 56:53

As I heard that 911 call, like I said, that broke my heart. I don't want to see I don't want nobody to lose no fucking life. Nobody. So my answer is leave people alone if you don't have to. People are they're gonna be bad people all over the place. You can't control that. Okay, we put Carmelo Anthony locked up for 100 years. It's the it's gonna be another person out there with a knife or a gun. Are you gonna go up to them and be telling them where to go and where when you didn't have to? I don't want to see nobody else die if I can help it in that situation. Austin could still be here, and that that's what would eat me alive. Like, I would be like, why like no? Just no, man, it's not worth it. You don't know what people have. Just sad,

Two Worlds Interpreting One Tragedy

SPEAKER_04 57:58

man. And then, like I said, the more I look at comments, it's not, it's like it's not all racism. I mean, it's racism, it's a part of it, but it's just really more about worlds who don't understand each other. Whether you black or white, is not really racism, it's just two different worlds. Now, that world may be divided by color, but that world could just be divided by a person who's never been around, but who's been fortunate enough to not be around violence, and this person grew up in violence, so the person who grew up in violent at uh environments will probably know that it's a chance somebody got a knife, it's a chance somebody got a gun, whether we're on school property or church or wherever, it's a chance somebody got something on them. Why? Because I've seen it day and day, but then you got another person who grew up fortunately in a world where they didn't see violence a lot, they didn't see knives and guns. So when they see this situation, they're gonna look at it like, oh, this person had a knife on them, so they came with the intentions of killing somebody. No, you just think that because you you you're fortunate you haven't been in a world where that was commonplace, but there that is a lot, it's very common, unfortunately. I wish we didn't have guns or knives. I wish this whole I wish our society was was was knives and gun free. I think we would be a better place if we didn't have knives or guns, period. But that's not the fucking world we live in, unfortunately. So we have to try to guide our children in a realistic way. If you have a good kid, is it more is it easier for that kid to mind their business and just be a kid and let adults do what adults need to do? Or is it easier to say, hey, everybody in the world don't ever don't ever use a weapon? Which one is more realistic? Let me repeat that. Y'all might understand. Y'all might not understand what I'm saying. Is it more realistic for me to tell people the people who have weapons, everybody don't ever carry a weapon? Or is it more realistic to me to tell the innocent people who are trying to survive and just live life? Hey, don't confront anybody if it's not your if it's it's not something that's very necessary and it's not your job. I just think it's more realistic to tell people who are innocent to just not confront people and put yourself in harm's way for no reason. To me, that's just more realistic. You can have your opinion, but to think you to think you could just tell everybody who got a weapon, hey y'all don't carry weapons no more. That way everybody stays safe. That's just not realistic at all. It's still gonna happen, it's still gonna be weapons, it's still gonna be people out here looking to harm, regardless. So that's why I look at it. I look at it exactly. That's why I say that that at least said Carmelo has to live with the burden of taking someone's life. That's not something you can just get over with, yeah. And that's why I'm saying, like, I I just can't believe so many people are arguing over what kids did, and just leaving all these adults, just letting these adults just have no accountability, no anything, man. Um, like I said, so if anything out of this show, like I said, all I want is for people to be just a little more understanding of what's going on, so we can help our youth and our innocent children can help them just get them a little uh uh more of a chance to to stay out of harm's way, man. Because if, like I said, I'm gonna say it again. I said it a thousand times on the show, and I'm saying it because I want y'all to know so y'all will know what's out here. People carry knives, especially young people, they carry them to the school, they carry them to work, they carry them on the street, they carry them 24-7. So you can take that information and do what you want with it, but uh like I said, there's a lot of people I can see from comments that don't know that. So I am telling you firsthand knowledge. A lot of people, a lot of kids carry weapons. So think about that in your mind when you pass advice down to these kids that there's a good chance anybody you may approach to confront, there's a good chance they have a weapon. So if you think it's worth it to confront, understand that it's very risky. I am a six two, 240-pound man. I am not confronting people unless it's my job. I'm just not, it's just dangerous, man, in general. So after hearing this foot, seeing this footage and just seeing all the the division that it's caused, I just felt like this would be a good time to just give everybody the information, man. Like so we so we at least understand, so we can go forward. Don't think, don't think because we own school property, somebody don't have weapons. Just know that. And we've seen that now. We know whether it's a school event or what, there's a chance that people have weapons. So now, now that you know, take that information and apply it. Because, like I said, if you get if you're unalive, we can't bring you back because simply because oh, it was school property. That would that that knife shouldn't have been there. So come on back, Austin. We wish that's what I wish that was the case, but that ain't how it works. So, y'all, like I said on this show, I just wanted to give people more information. It's not about talking about who guilt innocent, just talk about two things. Understand, a lot of people carry weapons, so you can tell your children, your grandchildren, your nieces and nephews to be careful out here and don't be approaching nobody and in in in and trying to forcefully remove or do anything because there are weapons out here. And number two, um just be safe, y'all. Be safe and understand that it's it's it's it's just it's just it's just better to just leave it alone, man. I just want to see people survive. I can't tell people how to react. But I can tell people who are innocent, I can tell them how to act. I can't control reactions, but I control I can control my actions. I can't control how somebody reacts to my son. We don't have any control over that, y'all. So is it is better advice for me to tell my son leave well enough alone, walk away from the situation, don't confront. It's easier for me to tell him that than for me to just think that another kid or or somebody else is not going to do certain things. I don't have any control. If my son goes over and gets to confronting dudes because they sitting somewhere they ain't supposed to, my son is putting his life or just health in danger for no reason. I don't want to see him do that. I wouldn't have wanted to see Austin do that. I don't want to see nobody do it in the future. So while everybody's just arguing about who's right, who was wrong, I'm the voice saying, hey, tell our kids to let the adults do the adultsy. That's the safest way to be. See, I'm the voice of reason who is not caught up in one side or the other, or black or white, or standing up for Carmelo, or standing or dog in Austin. I'm not doing none of that. I have now moved past that. And I'm looking at the situation and saying, what real information can we put out here that will help? If this information helps one person, one kid, if this show helps one kid make a decision to let an adult handle something versus them trying to handle another kid, and that protects them, then I done my job and I feel good. Just one person. If this reaches one person who maybe if they didn't listen to this show, maybe they would have confronted that other kid. But maybe they listened to this show or their parents listen to this show and said, you know what? It's a lot of kids carrying knives and weapons out here in general. Way more than a lot of people know, obviously, from the comics. So now that we know that, let's give our kids the right the right uh information. Let's give our kids the right information, man.

What We Teach Kids Going Forward

SPEAKER_04 1:08:10

Anyway, I appreciate everybody. Like I said, that that that it just I hate to see everybody all divided and and and and and and cussing each other out. And and it's just been very this Carmelo Anthony story is one of those ones that just got blacks and whites and different people just really nasty to each other. And I'm not part of that. I'm here to give information that can help save somebody from this certain situation, not ever happen, not happening. That's my goal. So I appreciate everybody who listened. This was this show flew by. Matter of fact, I went over the time because it's just a heartfelt show to just, you know what? I'm not here to argue with none of y'all, nobody, man. I'm not, we pass that. That's for the judge and the jury, and now they got an appeal. It's a whole process to handle that part of it. My part is just to let y'all know, man, it's a lot of weapons and stuff out here, not just knives, it's guns. And they are on school property, they are at events, they are at football, high school, football games, they are at uh track meets, and so knowing that just don't be the one to put yourself in harm's way. You got too much to live for, you got too much life ahead of you, and there's a reason why people are hired to handle those situations because they are, first of all, they have weapons most of the time themselves, and they have authority. So thank you for everybody. I hope everybody under took something from this. But I just like I said, I'm tired of the arguing and back and forth, and nobody's really like holding adults accountable or really giving out real information. So maybe we can avoid this whole thing because two lives, two children's lives were lost, one in the physical and one in the mental. Carmelo, Anthony, and Austin both will never be the same, and neither were their families. And that's the sad part of the whole thing. See y'all tomorrow at 830.

Even Without Weapons The Risk Remains

SPEAKER_04 1:12:21

Great, great, great statement by C Tuck. But even if you take guns and knives away, there's still going to be people who illegally possess them. Wouldn't you want a fair shot at defending yourself against that? Yep. And see, I was just talking hypothetically if there was no such thing as guns and knives in general, which is a fantasy world, is no way that could exist. I was just speaking hypothetically that I wish there was no violence. But there is violence. The fact that there is violence, we have to teach our kids, our innocent kids who just trying to do their thing. We have to teach them how to survive in a world with violence and guns and knives. And the first real step for seriously is to avoid confrontation at all costs. It's not worth it. I do it, and I'm only giving you the same advice I give myself. I'm not running up in no up in nobody's face and doing nothing extra because it only takes a second for your life to be lost. Rest of peace, Austin Metcalf. Uh Carmelo Anthony, man, shout out. I mean, um, hold you know, hold your head, man. Is this a fucked up situation? And um I just wish it never happened. I love y'all, and I'm
