Here's a horrible story out of Texas. Seventeen-year-old Austin Metcalf was stabbed in the heart at a high school track meet in Texas, reportedly told another teen he was sitting in the wrong seat. Metcalf died in the arms of his identical twin brother, Hunter.

The post continues:

… wrong seat.

Anthony has been charged with murder after allegedly stabbing Austin in the heart while his twin brother, Hunter, watched in horror and desperately tried to save him.

No activists will speak for Austin or his grieving family. There will be no riots, no protests, and no 24/7 media coverage.

Interestingly, this comes at a time when British Prime Minister Kier Starmer has arranged to show the Netflix drama series "Adolescence" to every secondary school in the country, so moved he was by the story of a 13-year-old boy who stabbed a girl. The story is fictional, but many say it's based on a story out of the U.K., except race-swapped.

Here's the boy's father:

… when told he was in the wrong spot

"I'm not trying to judge, but what kind of parents did this child have? What was he taught? He brought a knife to a track meet and he m*rdered my son by st*bbing him in the heart"

Austin’s twin brother, Hunter, witnessed the st*bbing and tried to stop the bleeding

No other injuries were reported

Absolutely heartbreaking. Austin Metcalf’s identical twin speaks out after witnessing his brother get stabbed in the chest.

Is this that "white rage" we heard all about during the Biden administration? Young white "incels" who've been radicalized by Joe Rogan?

Metcalf's father says he doesn't want people turning the incident into a "racial thing." And they won't.

This is a total hate crime, and don't tell me Austin is racist; I'm sure he had many black friends on his football team.

Where's Pam Bondi with the federal charges?

He brought a knife to the track meet preparing for violence. Should have extra charges.

This kid needs to be tried as an adult.

This needs to be covered nationally. Regardless of race. It’s a horrible tragedy.

But of course if the victim was black, every news station would be talking about it. 🙄

The Daily Wire's Matt Walsh, director of the film "Am I Racist," is making it a racial thing.

If I told you that a young man stabbed another young man to death for telling him that he was in the wrong seat, and then I told you that one young man in this altercation was white and the other black, and then I asked you to guess the race of the assailant, every single person…

… would know the answer immediately. Young black males are violent to a wildly, outrageously disproportionate degree. That’s just a fact. We all know it. And it’s time that we speak honestly about it, or nothing will ever change.

Holy shit he's not even hiding his disdain for black people.

Hey d-bag, please show us the data to support your wild opinion. https://t.co/jZklBmVtoV

You need to see the data proving that black males are disproportionately violent? Okay, well literally all crime stats bear this out. Start with this: https://t.co/vul0lBifYb pic.twitter.com/rOP66246lZ

Walsh isn't afraid of saying what he thinks.

And no, this won't get widespread coverage, except on social media. Don't post about it, though, unless you want to be like Elon Musk and "start race riots." 

As long as we're talking about violent 17-year-olds:

… "He has several charges including three outstanding warrants from another county for violent offenses. In Cobb County, he's facing six charges 

"Garrett also punched an officer as they adjusted his handcuffs

On the way to jail, he allegedly kicked and damaged a camera inside the patrol car

We need to start showing "Adolescence" in schools.
