## Resource

James Golden aka Bo Snerdley explores the tragic intersection of the fatal stabbing of Austin Metcalf and what Golden describes a pervasive confrontation culture in modern society. By recounting the case of Karmelo Anthony—a student sentenced to prison after killing Austin Metcalf during a dispute over a team tent—the Golden argues that the tragedy was fueled by an aggressive attitude and a "gangster" persona rather than mere self-defense. The commentary moves from this specific incident to a broader critique of how social media incentives and a lack of good manners encourage people to seek out conflict for profit or status.
