I was thinking his horrible trait was more like gutting people and murdering them, but hey, think what you want. |
He wasn't there alone. He could have gone back to his group if he felt he was in danger. |
Falsely accusing someone/insulting them is certainly rude. Shoving people is certainly not OK. But last time I checked, those weren't justifiable reasons to murder one person and injure four others so seriously that all had to go to the hospital, and two had to be ***airlifted*** there. |
You mean if that was my teenage son attacking and pushing a man in his 50s into the water, and got stabbed as a result? Of course I’d be devastated. But not because he didn’t have what was coming to him! I’d be devestated that I raised a murderer. Because that’s what they were trying to do to this man. |
His reputation is being "smeared" because he stabbed a 17yo to death and sent four others to the hospital. A few defensive knife hits to scare them off and show them he wouldn't be harmed by them is one thing. Gutting them, literally gutting them, is quite another. |
Not if he was being repeatedly pushed back into the water. The video reportedly shows that a young man in a yellow bathing suit pushed the man down into the water twice before being stabbed. |
Shoving someone repeatedly down into the water is attempted murder. |

Even though the 52 year old is reported to weigh 250 pounds, it is a pot-bellied, fairly flabby, out-of-shape 250 pounds.
Hopefully, there is audio tape to accompany the video tape. What if the group was shouting "child molester" at the man while he was being pushed back down into the water and, seemingly,not being allowed to leave ? I keep wondering who really instigated and escalated and continued to escalate this encounter. Sure does not appear that the 17 year old and the others in their twenties were afraid or willing to walk away. |
See you back here on sentencing day with a big smile! |
Reports issued *by the police* say that the video shows he had ample time to leave, and several windows of time to do so. |
+1 What basis did they have for calling him a child molester and shoving him back into the water? Mob rule is very scary. I'd be afraid I was going to be drowned by a group of false, drunken accusers. |
Some people agree with letting teens harrass and murder others. |
At what point did the man have an opportunity to leave ? Was he under any duty to leave ? |
| What an awful and tragic story. I went tubing on the Apple River about 25 years ago in my early 20s. It was an out-of-control, volatile scene with too many drunk people even then. My husband (then boyfriend) witnessed a domestic violence incident and intervened to tried to help the woman. It was awful. |

This guy is a gun toting Trumper. Whatever sympathy I had for him is lost. |
