The Murder the Media Wants You to Ignore

From The Other McCain: Texas Murder: An Exclamation Point on My Argument About ‘Adolescence’

Matt Walsh’s Daily Wire article is “members only,” so in case you’ve been hiding under a rock — or getting your news from the mainstream media — I’ll summarize what happened in Frisco, Texas, this week: A high school junior, Austin Metcalf, was stabbed to death Wednesday morning at a track meet by a senior from another high school, Karmelo Anthony. It was raining Wednesday morning. The various teams at the track meet each had set up awnings in the bleacher area around the stadium so that their athletes could get out of the rain (or, had the weather changed, to be sheltered from the sun). For reasons that have yet to be explained, Anthony, who attended Centennial High School, decided to get under the awning of the team from Memorial High School, which Metcalf attended. Members of the Memorial team objected to Anthony’s uninvited presence in their area, and Metcalf was trying to enforce the eviction:

Go read the whole thing. It covers not only the murder, but the show Adolescence.

We may predict with absolute certainty, based on prior history, the next phase of the media campaign around Adolescence. Critics of the series will be labeled “far-right,” etc., for pointing out the vast gulf separating (a) the reality of youth violence in England and (b) the way youth violence is depicted in the Netflix series. The media are treating Adolescence as if it were documentary.

I miss living in a civilized society.
