    That's a matter for the law. The police will deal with that and dish out punishment appropriately....No need to get historical or emotional.... These things were going on before we were born...so, its no the fault of government or the Bar. These adults will be held responsible for their behavior......Yep.

    When the spirit of Al Ghoul sets you up it's hard to find the strength to do what it takes to break his assignment. Many times one is simply required to humble them self but with Mamacita looking on that can be too much to handle.

    I don't want to say I see it as self defense but, the guy who was stabbed kind of did approach him and antagonize the situation. Look at the video.

    This cutting was very barbaric..I swear the devil is rampant. He had a right to pay for what he has done.. I always wonder how the other person would feel if the same was done to them.. a lot of times persons would kill but when it’s time to for them to face death as their punishment they can’t stop seeking mercy .. so why hurt another!

      While the outcome was horrific it is clear the agressors momentum contributed significantly to the injuries as he was forcing the other guy backwards. The guy retreated from him and he push away the lady to get to him. Lots of people talking bout where he from name from and who from here or there but fact is he was the one who instigated/escalated the incident the outcome could have been different if he leave as he was doing orgottheupperhand. The guy have allrightstodefendhislifewhichheappearreadytotakecausehebad.

    He had the knife in his hand before Keon approached him that means something happened before the confrontation that was caught on camera. He brought the knife to a fete, Held it in his hands so that make it look like he was either looking for trouble or expecting trouble either way he found it. I cant support any man that bringing a weapon to any kind of lime so give him a 5yr so he can think next time.

    The dynamics of the people living on the BVI is astonishing. How can they stream videos of a man in critical condition instead of showing empathy and concern in helping him? These people are heartless!!! What is happening to these people that cause them to become so unmoving to human life and decency? I am truly disturbed by their behaviors. I understand that the police station is only 3-minutes away? Why were officers not on the scene to corner off the site so that these spectators wanting one minute of fame were kept at bay? The chief of police at that police station should be fired!!!! The victim in this case was exposed to negative comments by spectators and his constitutional rights and personal space were violated to say the lease because of the lack of actions from the nearby police station. My prayers go out to the young man and his family. I am sorry that I was not in the vicinity to comfort him when he needed it the most. The people in the BVI need love in their hearts and not rush to get one minute of fame from the tragedy of a human being in despair. I am sick to the stomach reading about this case and the lack of urgency displayed by the people on the scene.
