What are you talking about? White boys kill black guys all the time. The jurors call it self-defense.
How often does that happen? I'm curious what "all the time" means to you
It means about the same amount of time I see someone come here and write " we all know the race of the murderer " as soon as they check the race of the murderer to confirm it was a black person.
This is why death by firing squad should be legal in ALL states. Not only that, it should be the MANDATORY sentence for anyone convicted of murder. Or public hanging.
The only way to reduce the likelihood of murder is to make the penalty so severe, so painful, and so humiliating that people won't even consider committing the crime.
Increasing the severity of the deterrent does nothing to prevent this. Some idiot kid (including 18-25) doing something like this isn't thinking "oh it's only 30 years in prison, if it was the death penalty I wouldn't do it", there's no impulse control there at all. If you want to reduce crime of all sorts, you need to catch perpetrators more often. A huge percentage of murders are never solved, and an even higher percentage of non-fatal murder attempts are never solved.
That's gonna require more resources for more cops, more community outreach to increase trust in the cops, and more automated cameras.

I agree with you that guys like this are not sitting around doing cost benefit analysis of their actions, but that is not the point. Evil people need to be punished because it is what they deserve. Not because it makes them better, not because it makes us better, or not even because it makes society better. (although I am doubtful of the last one being true)
Evil people suffering is a great thing. Righteous men should rejoice at their suffering and demand more. That is why this killer needs to be fried. So that he can spend his last moments on earth in fear and agony. That alone is reason enough. I would gladly send more money from my paycheck to the government to increase the suffering of guys like him.
It's crazy to me that amount of kids that just happen to have knifes/guns/other weapons on their personal belongings like it's an everyday thing. This was a kid, who was an athlete and apparent scholarship level football player and he's just carrying around a knife? Obviously the kid is to blame, but how about the parents? How do you not know your son is carrying around a weapon (most likely every day)? I remember the days were we just fought physically over stuff, then it was done. Now, kids and adults use weapons when in a fight or use a weapon before a fight even starts. I don't understand it at all and again questioning the parenting of some of these kids.
What the ACTUAL FFF!?! Who is president right now? When are you going to stop playing a victim!? When are you going to stop blaming black people for all of your twisted pain and sadness? Grow up, learn how to love, stop poisoning yourself with this disgusting hate....otherwise that's all there will be in your life.
If they didn't know each other, then my guess is that a substance played a role because a track meet isn't really a combative place. It could be a psychiatric med, PED, or even a regular med like prednisone. If you ever have to work with someone with anger or ego issues who is on prednisone it sucks. It's walking on eggshells to not set them off or deal with drama.
On February 23, 2020, Ahmaud Arbery, a 25-year-old black man, was murdered during a racially motivated hate crime while jogging in Satilla Shores, a neighborhood near Brunswick in Glynn County, Georgia. Three white men, who l...
Black people kill each other and white people too. White people kill each other and Black people too. You can't say that it's a black or white thing. I can find do many different examples of different types of murders. It's universal. Humans, with whatever excuse that triggers them, murder eachother. It's mostly males....some females too though. It's a dark part of our nature and unless we figure out how to stop doing it, I absolutely believe we are not going to survive as a species.
Utter nonsense. Blacks receive worse funding, worse schools, grow up at far higher poverty rates, are over-policed, have shorter life expectancy, are discriminated against constantly in job and housing applications by their names being race-identified. If a very small number of African-Americans, most of them upper middle class and the children of African immigrants, get preferred at elite colleges, that's a drop in the bucket, fewer than 1% of African-Americans of college age, whereas you get close to 20% of elite college students are from the top 1% of income.

Blacks commit so much crime. This sicko stabbed the poor kid because he says the poor kid was in the wrong spot. You work things out. This sicko needs to be locked up forever.
There's obviously no justification for what happened.
However, in reality, the notion that this was over someone being 'told they were in the wrong spot in stands,' is almost certainly an understatement.
Frankly, any kind of meaningless confrontation like this is never worth it; you never know what the response is going to be. Way too be many crazy people.
I would also add in there's a fetish for violence in the urban culture, the music is constantly priming the youth to kill others with explicit and descriptive language. Music is highly suggestive, and when combined with someone who wasn't raised with any moral compass and inclination towards violence it leads to scenarios like this that are blown way out of proportion. But the entire culture is sick and that goes for all races. If you read comments on reddit posts, extreme physical violence in retaliation to being 'disrespected' or called a name I'd encouraged and celebrated. It makes me kind of sick to my stomach knowing how whacked out most of the youth are. Having grown up in a crappy minority neighborhood where fights happen every night people are drinking it's not the way to handle things. Recently I noticed these young kids will make gun threats and the like, so you're not even safe having a gentleman's fist fight.
We live is violent times. But anymore violent than the past statistically and proportionately? Not so sure? People are far far less likely to “just let things go” nowadays. I call it ‘CFM Syndrome’ - a ‘Cage Fight Mentality’. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve avoided physical confrontations with other dudes over stupid things like parking spaces and line cuts. You just have to let that crap go. When I have seen other seriously big guys let the small stuff go and walk away demonstrating that it simply not important and waste of personal energy - I’m inspired and in awe.
Recently, I was in a Starbucks where some big dude who was with his family deliberately cut me off as I was standing in line for a long, long before him. I had backed away to let others pass with their shopping cart. He jumped in front of me and I said to him, “Hey I was in line” and he then got super mad and said “You were standing over there and you don’t have to be a Dick about it!” He was challenging me to a fight. Then, another big dude who was in line for awhile in front of me, spun around and said to the other big dude, “I was right behind him the whole time and What in the hell is your problem!!!” and they both started to scream and shout at each other and it looked like it was going to go violent, so I just turned around and walked out and said “Gentlemen enjoy your coffee. Have a nice day!”
