In a Dallas‑area case, a Texas teenager was found guilty of murdering a 17‑year‑old track athlete from a rival high school during a competition. A jury rejected the defendant’s self‑defense claim after witnesses described a heated confrontation in the stadium bleachers over his refusal to vacate a tent belonging to the rival team on a rainy spring day.

    1. In that split second of chaos, you must put yourself in his shoes.
    2. Texas law does not require that you wait until you get hit.
    3. He had the right to ask him to leave, but he didn't have any legal right to use force.
    4. Austin Metcalf had no legal right to use force to eject Karmelo Anthony from that tent.

    1. Ultimately, this case is about accountability. What kind of community do you want to live in.
    2. You don't get to meet a shove with a stab, especially if you provoke the shove.
    3. This is not self-defense, folks. It's murder plain and simple.
