Austin Metcalf's Father

It's very unfortunate that this other child decided to make a bad choice that's going to affect him for the rest of his life. I have compassion for every human being. This is not, I want to make this very clear. This is not a race issue. This is not a black and white issue. I don't want someone stepping up on a soapbox trying to politicize this.

I don't appreciate some of the remarks I've seen online that people say there was this fight and there was, they don't know. They weren't there.

I want to clarify something right off the start because I've already heard some rumors and gossip. This was not a race thing. This is not a political thing. Please do not comment if you do not know what happened. Try. Do not turn this into a racial thing. It was not. Do not politicize this. It's not. This is a human being thing. This person made a bad choice.

And it affected both his family and my family forever. Yeah. That's his dad? That's his dad. Yeah, that's his dad.
