Has this ever been answered? The OP’s kiss your loved one and nothing is guaranteed comments do imply that someone did, but I am not used to posts like that not explicitly saying a death occurred even if being vague about details to not ID anyone or bring up any gory details.

Sounds like Austin was an a-hole who potentially deserved to get his arse kicked. However, he did not deserve to get murdered.
I would add that on that particular day Austin seemed relatively subdued from other past events described by the defense yesterday and didn't even specifically deserve to get his arse kicked for anything he did in his interaction with Anthony that day.
It’s clear now that Anthony was looking for a fight and to use his knife during that fight which answers why he even bothered staying in the other school's area when asked to leave in the first place. The bullying and in fear of life was shown to be BS with the video and eyewitness testimony, and the theory they knew each other and had previous confrontations has always been an internet spread myth.

there's now an island full of trash trees that blocks the view across it
I dislike the islands and how they expanded around the bird sanctuary so much to the point of seemingly blocking views of entire main lake in too many locations. Even from old beach area your view northish of entire lake and view north of the rest of the lake along sorority row around that point looks like it was already going to be restricted or narrowed down midway towards the north section of the lake, and then they make an island just after it opens back up. I am also making an assumption that some of additional new ground showing in Sat view like near lakeshore and Christian St is just because of temporary water levels or similar, so the reduction of the lake might be even worse than I am thinking if making an incorrect assumption.
If what is being dug up was part of the pollution what are doing to it before reusing it reclaim and add land around the lake and make islands in the lake?

When I first read the description I was hoping “turned into puppets” was about being controlled by something, but I knew with this show it was more likely to be toy puppets.

local judge in Louisiana
If this a state judge what are the connections to Louisiana for all the players unless all transferring to Louisiana schools. I didn’t see how the other local rulings for Texas Tech and Ole Miss should have had power outside of their respective states that the NCAA would have to follow.
I only checked 4 or 5 names and see one player who used to live in Louisiana before going to Ole Miss and one who played at LSU last season, but I also see some who lived and went to college elsewhere.
I struggle to find that a local judge should have the power outside of Louisiana. I am not exactly sure how some of the players have standing to file in a local state court where they aren’t domiciled, weren’t injured in, or have a connection to the state like former college was in the state or similar.

Not sure that makes people racist or just stupid.
From what I know about teenage boys from being one in the past, raising one, and living around families that have them it’s the “just stupid”. Out shocking each other, calling each other slurs that cover all backgrounds in a group, and stirring things up seems fairly normal. The graffiti did push things farther than I have seen because it wasn’t just visible by their group or done just within a group (and vandalism), but instead of truly doing it as hate or targeting anyone I think they wanted to stir people up, see them freak out, and maybe take credit for it later within a trusted group of friends.
The hitting the girl part is troubling and wrong without knowing anything else. The cursing at a teacher was wrong and unacceptable. If the bullying a black kid actually happened (or was even due to race) it would have been noted as more than an accusation like the other stuff listed. Saying something about bringing a gun to school was stupid but also depends on the context. It was likely joking around, but I understand the school has to treat it seriously if they are told about it. Seems like just being stupid again. Also, seems like he got too amped up during football games, but he did go to counseling for it.

Zero of that shows Austin did anything to be murdered by Anthony or anything to Anthony beyond what the eye witnesses testified to in court. There was zero actual proof Anthony was bullied or ganged up on or made to fear for his life, and that hasn’t changed at all.
Trying to inflame racial tensions and play the race card was all the defense had and has. An actual grand wizard of the kkk could have been standing in front of Anthony telling him that he needed to leave that school’s area just like Austin did, and Anthony stabbing him in the heart would have been murder just the same.
Anthony’s past as the murderer would have been more relevant if prosecution needed to actually prove that Anthony intended to cause serious bodily injury to Austin and committed an act clearly dangerous to human life that caused the death of Austin. They did not. With zero self defense claim Anthony admitted to committing murder as a 1st degree felony in Texas.

It would be funny if they upgraded the charges
Not possible to upgrade to next up - capital murder. He could get a longer sentence which would extend his time before he attempt to be paroled, but I doubt it would be much longer. He could also get a jury with white female liberals on it or with biased blacks who learned that to be on jury they shouldn’t admit to having any qualms about convicting a brother as that and being teachers were why the blacks in line to be on jury were removed.
Under 18 can still be convicted of capital murder but get life with parol, but the below are requirements to be convicted of capital murder in Texas which don’t fit this murder:

(2) the person intentionally commits the murder in the course of committing or attempting to commit kidnapping, burglary, robbery, aggravated sexual assault, arson, obstruction or retaliation, or terroristic threat under Section 22.07(a)(1), (3), (4), (5), or (6);
(3) the person commits the murder for remuneration or the promise of remuneration or employs another to commit the murder for remuneration or the promise of remuneration;
(4) the person commits the murder while escaping or attempting to escape from a penal institution;

(6) the person:
(A) while incarcerated for an offense under this section or Section 19.02, murders another; or
(B) while serving a sentence of life imprisonment or a term of 99 years for an offense under Section 20.04, 22.021, or 29.03, murders another;
(7) the person murders more than one person:
(A) during the same criminal transaction; or
(B) during different criminal transactions but the murders are committed pursuant to the same scheme or course of conduct;
(8) the person murders an individual under 10 years of age;
(9) the person murders an individual 10 years of age or older but younger than 15 years of age; or
(10) the person murders another person in retaliation for or on account of the service or status of the other person as a judge or justice of the supreme court, the court of criminal appeals, a court of appeals, a district court, a criminal district court, a constitutional county court, a statutory county court, a justice court, or a municipal court.

Was he granted a new trial? I stay off fb these days, need a break from the bs.
Not decided. They got the original judge removed from new trial decision process because of an interview the judge did afterwards where he was asked if he thought the jury made correct decision. Instead of declining to answer he went into jury was right because they were correctly selected, made decision based only on what was presented in court, and came back with a verdict. It was played out to be more like he was basing answer on facts on the case and his personal opinion on whether Karmelo was guilty especially when he mentioned he thought Karmelo seemed like a good kid who committed a crime and understands now better than before there are consequences for breaking the law.
It was stupid to give that kind of interview so soon.
quote:
Visiting Judge Sid Harle presided today. From Fox News:
Judge John Roach, who presided over Anthony’s June murder trial, was removed after Anthony’s attorneys played Roach’s post-trial WFAA interview in court and argued his remarks showed he had already prejudged the defense’s request for a new trial.
Harle said Wednesday he did not know Roach and described recusal as a high bar. He said he did not find that Roach violated judicial conduct rules and believed Roach could be fair.
But Harle said the question was not whether Roach could be fair. He found that a third party looking at Roach’s public comments could question the judge’s impartiality and granted the recusal motion.
In June, Roach told WFAA:
When asked whether the jury reached the correct verdict, Roach offered a direct response.
“Yes they did because they were picked based upon the law, they listened to the facts, it happened in this courtroom, and they got a verdict,” he said. WFAA ended its interview asking about the judge’s brief interactions with the now-convicted Karmelo Anthony.
“He seems like a nice young man who committed a crime and he understands today more than any day before the consequences of committing a crime like he did,” Roach said.
Roach said he believes Collin County’s handling of the trial should serve as a model for other jurisdictions dealing with high-profile cases.
I guess by 3rd party the visiting Judge is talking about blacks…

none of the ghetto bullshite going on near LSU has anything to do with LSUs admissions standards. The fact that this culture exists at all, clearly does not give a frick about civilized society, and populates the area within walking distance of the north gate is the problem.
While main reason is just the typical behavior seen since the summer of love from its neighbors to the North LSU has helped attract them including the welcome party they held last fall with arse shakers hanging over the side of the Assembly Center’s walkway. It appears to be the reason the new administration has moved it in doors according to one poster here, but it was not the only culture shift on campus. Also, just like there are always some blacks who can’t leave the trash behind when they move to nicer neighborhoods by whatever means there are going to be some students who have the same issue. Even for the ones who don’t want to associate with the trash prior friends or family will push the association. The sista fight at the honors dorm was part of Tate’s first full class that was all his.
Any of those students wanting to play the race card and get offended by a piece of rope blown into a tree will force a less aggressive approach to the non-student trashy trouble makers. The trash will also work to take advantage of this fully.
quote:It wouldn’t be quite as bad or at least as difficult to point out the non-students that appear to be up to no good especially on campus or just off campus in student areas if LSU’s demographics and total number of students were at pre-Tate levels. Like many have mentioned the people north of LSU have been the same for decades, so both the summer of love culture changes and Tate’s changes in demographics, speed of increasing enrollees beyond infrastructure, and culture changes by LSU & on LSU’s campus have led to increasing issues by visitors the past couple of years.
The only answer is complete exclusion for everyone. No activities or gatherings at all

The only way to rectify this is to require a higher minimum ACT score,
Pretty sure this just happened.
Unless something has change since February a minimum score did not happen. In fact it’s re-implementation had been minimized a good bit thanks to board members like James Williams, and it is also being implemented across the next 2 fall classes (2027’s & 2028’s). Just like Tate’s gaming the average ACT scores people need to realize what was implemented in February (outside of any recent updates) will be considered one attribute among many for committee to “holistically” consider and will not even being fully implemented for the most likely students getting scholarships until the fall freshman class of 2028.
quote:
The LSU Board of Supervisors voted Friday to reinstate a requirement for applicants to its Baton Rouge campus to provide standardized test scores, but students will not need to reach a minimum score to be admitted.
…At first (2027), the new test requirement policy will apply only to students with GPAs below 3.5, but then for all applicants starting with the summer 2028 semester.
Several members of the board expressed concern that requiring a minimum test score would have a detrimental impact on students from rural areas and poor families who generally do not have the same access to test preparation programs as those who live in larger cities or come from wealthier families.
“There are plenty of kids who we want at LSU who don’t come from households where they can afford to get that additional help on testing,” board member James Williams said. “There seem to be very compelling reasons for us to use test scores as one criteria, but not determinative and mandatory.”
Blanchard assured Williams and other concerned board members test scores will be just one part of what LSU’s admissions team is taking into consideration. The provost said the scores could also be helpful for other purposes, such as placing students with low scores into the right classes so they can catch up to their peers.

It’s not 80% but it’s the most it’s ever been. I’d bet 25%-30%, with white student being around 50%. The remaining 20-25% mixed between Asian and Hispanic.
Pretty close. For the fall of 2025 of the total number of undergraduates on campus whites were at 53.9% with blacks at 23.5%. 2026 Spring enrollment at a glance still has not been posted. In fall of 2019 white undergraduates were at 68.6% of all undergraduates on campus with blacks at 13.3%.
Last 2 incoming fall freshman classes had white enrollees at less than 50%. For fall of 2024 LSU’s Dashboard rounded whites to 50.0% in 2024, but it was actually 49.962% (blacks at 26.8%). For fall of 2025 whites made up 48.6% of the incoming freshman class (blacks at 28.4%). In fall of 2019 whites were 66.7% of the incoming freshmen class enrollees with blacks at 14.4%.
Since fall of 2021 white freshman enrollees have dropped in total number even as the freshman class sizes have been consistently increasing since Tate (from 4,401 in fall of 2021 to 3,995 in fall of 2025).
Since offers and focus done before new guys could change much this trend is likely to continue for this fall’s incoming freshman class.

It was bleeding heart liberals who fricked it up and then got helped along by the RINOs who got too scared to vote on the solutions under 1st Trump that they kept pushing to get elected while knowing Obama would veto it. Thankfully the covid subsidies were allowed to die off after being renewed by Dems and Biden’s Autopen.
That’s where we stand - an unnecessary extension of a covid program ends which brings back original Obamacare subsidy limits, but it gets played as a cut to healthcare like it was the new normal. A little with the Clintons fallback healthcare push, then Bush’s prescription plan, then Obamacare, and then covid subsidies for Obamacare it seems like the solution to the problems created by more government is just more government.

General thought is the game with Southern University
Thats also the fall (2022) that the Honors dorm had the sista brawl. Seems like there were some other issues in parking lot or nearby the Honors dorm that fall. I think that was Tate’s first full freshman class where his policies and focuses were in effect for entire process. Even with ACT/SAT’s being voluntary the class’s average ACT score dropped half a point, and by 2023’s fall freshman class to show an increase to counter the demographic shift becoming more obvious Tate shifted to ACT super scores and comparing super scores to true composite scores on top of submission rates dropping due to being voluntary.

You have not learned. This happens because the school lets in bad apples and then the bad apples invite more bad apples who don’t even attend the school. To stop it entirely you need to stop letting in bad apples. Look we understand LSU is not an Ivy League with high standards but it was never like this even 6-10 years ago. There were borderline standards but it appears that there is nothing now
As of several minutes ago the Common Data set for 2025 fall incoming freshman class showing % that actually submitted ACTs or SATs amongst other stuff is still missing in action along with the 2026 Spring Enrollment at a Glance which would break down demographics of campus and more importantly of undergraduates on campus.
I would guess the ACT/SAT submission rate of the 2025 incoming freshman dropped lower than 2024’s only having 47% submit scores along with possibly an increasing number of enrollees with higher GPAs not submitting scores. Maybe some weird change with scholarship and grant $ totals that shows up more. That seems like it would have all been expected after past several years, so the common data set not posted online yet is very strange. Seems like 2 years ago LSU’s website had a revised version posted towards the end of May.
I honestly cannot think of any valid reason the enrollment at glance numbers have not been updated for the 2026 Spring by now, and I have started to wonder if more blacks are sticking around in the Spring due to an over abundance of scholarships and grants handed to them compared to white undergraduates causing whites to make up more of the annual dip in Spring enrollment than usual which put white undergraduates too close to 50% if not just below 50% for the Spring.
They might be hoping they pull off a fall census miracle and get white undergraduates back with official fall census numbers. They might have to include duel enrollees, graduate students, and professional students in their totals they push in press releases this fall.

The RHA (Residence Hall Association) that put on the DJ with the twerking stripper last year downsized their night in a major way and moved it indoors into the field house.
Thats just masking the reality that there is no turning back for LSU as long as there is no minimum requirement for standardized tests and no requirement for the tests to be properly weighted for admissions and more importantly for scholarships and honors college.
This may be the last full incoming class where submitting scores was voluntary, but for high school GPAs above 3.5 there is still one more fall after this one where ACT/SAT scores will be completely voluntary helping to ensure more scholarships will be handed out without being able to equalize GPAs between differing standards of various schools and school districts. Then starting with fall 2028 class when submitting scores mandatory for all there will be no minimum or no weight given to scores to rank along with GPAs. They will be just one attribute among many that a leftist admissions committee will use how they like for the fall 2028 class.
At best starting with fall of 2028 incoming freshmen class the scores will give people an ability to audit the committee a little, but considering white undergraduates will be a plurality at that point will most alumni even care anymore when LSU is Callin’ North Baton Rouge…
