So, yeah, I think there might have been some shortcomings, but I think the high ground was attempted.

on several occasions here and to attempt the high ground with some of the people that we're talking about in this video and with what they're doing and saying, whilst while you're still getting death threats and like calls and being called a white nationalist and all these things, it's really, really tough.

So yeah, I'm taking into account the fact that like he's doing pretty good in his response given the plate that's been handed to him.

It's tough too, because I think like as a father in circumstances like this, this was the moment to sort of step, whatever moment you decide to step into the public eye and actually address it, it was the moment to really get out all your grievances, all the things that you've thought about over this entire year.

What's the message that you want to impress upon the world after experiencing something like this?

And if you don't give yourself the proper time to let some of that animosity sort of settle a bit,

this is the clip that ends up going viral.

So now it's like, this is Jeff Metcalf's response to his son being murdered.

And that's just so unfortunate.

And just another like bit of salt in the wound.

And of course it's a salt of his own doing.

He said the words, but damn, does it suck to just like,

have all the other cultural commentary that you had about this, all the other talks about like faith and the things that he personally believes that have been driving him through this process be completely mulled over because you said watermelon fell in, you know?

Appreciate that, Andrew.

Thank you so much for your support.

Yeah, and he sort of speaks to that as well.

We'd like to thank that.

I mean, in a lot of ways, color does take a lot of root in how things pan out now in this country based off the conversations we have, and it's very unfortunate, but yeah, it's true.

And had this been a different setup, this would have been a totally different discussion or no discussion at all.

Yeah.
