Coz weird as hell who would think they could get a phone from a river that a friend lost, like where was his friend? Something is way off with the phone story, dude lied about them having weapons so could have just been a creeper sneaking away from his friends to hassle young boys.

Those teens should have been charged with assault because they were not innocent and got their friend killed for absolutely no reason.

It’s unheard of……….as most teens and young adults don’t have an interest in engaging much less interacting with older individuals (unless of course they find them to be cool). Sometimes, you’re better off creating distance and or ignoring individuals that you do not fancy.

      There was a lot of time between the first encounter, and when things escalated. Outside of the fact that he went in combatively, and just didn't do anything to de-escalate. He had enough time to see that the situation was getting out of hand, to turn around and leave. If they had followed him, then I would understand, but he straight up murdered someone because he thought maybe one of them had his friend's phone, and he wouldn't leave the situation. That is pretty fucked. Ya the teens were assholes, but all be honest from the video they were telling him to piss off, and he refused to leave. At some point that feels like a threat.
      The thing is there are a lot of people who have the fantasy in their head, that they are going to be a hero when they use a weapon, and some people will put themselves in situations to do that. For example road rage incidents are more likely to be instigated if one party has a gun.

      @ because they surrounded him and attacked him. He may have been rude and didn’t say why he was there. But they attacked him first, several of them surrounded him and put hands on him. Scumbag kids from scumbag parents. Laughing and intimidating and provoking. You’ve seen the video so you saw the same thing.

      You see, stabbing off the bat is a bad idea bc when defending yourself the goal isn’t to kill your attacker and that’s prob another reason why he got arrested
