High school student Kaelen Tucker on the curve 4x200m relay race Last month, at the VHSL Level 3 Indoor Championships at Liberty University, she was hit in the head by a baton held by her rival. Tucker immediately grabbed her head and drifted sharply off the track. All the momentum she has, the motivation to drive her slower attackers in the past, is lost.
In a world of total justice, Tucker was the only point. Her community would have gathered around her for unfairly robbing her position in the game. They will talk about all the hard work she has done in her body and spirit to become a Elite runners. They would humiliate her attackers to admit her crime and promise to be a member of the community.
But we do not live in a society of perfect justice. Too many moral compass.
Virginia High School track and field star defeated with baton opponent: “I’m just incredible”
After the incident, attacker Alaina Everett told the local news station that she had attacked Tucker by chance. “I lost my balance when I pulled my arm out again. She was hit,” Everett said. “I know my intentions and I will never hit someone.”
I saw the video with my two eyes. I’ve watched the video several times. Everett undoubtedly hit Tucker on the head. She raised her arm toward the distance of the competitor and beat her. No two, however.
What happened at that moment was that Everett knew she was beaten. She wasn’t good enough for whatever reason. Maybe she didn’t work hard or could not find the extra speed. Whatever the reason, that moment reveals her shortcomings as a runner. Instead of digging and giving her all, she knew she had to do more, but lost her composure and did something unimaginable.
Teen athlete beats opponent in the head with a baton claiming it was accidental because she cried
What shocked me about Everett’s interview with local TV stations was that she asked to consider her feelings. “Everyone has feelings,” she said. “So, your body was hurt, but you didn’t think of my mental health.”
Um?
This is sad. No, that’s shameful.
Everett’s attempt to avoid the truth and what happened next surprised me. A rally was later held for honor and NAACP appeared in her defense. Has the black community been screaming for “black excellence” in the United States for so long, have they chosen to gather behind such people?
NAACP Chapter Portsmouth, Virginia “Alanna is not an attacker and media headline that suggests this in any way,” the organization said. She is an outstanding young leader and scholar whose movement talents are fully demonstrated and recognized in our state. She has an upright attitude on the scene and on the field, and any narrative that determines guilty of any criminal activity violates her due process rights. ”
The narrative is that Alaila did not lie. The narrative is that our eyes show the baton landing on Tucker’s head, which we lie. The narrative is that we have to believe in the assailants, we have to believe in the NAACP, we have to believe in those who have the moral compass so far away, even bad actors, even around the corner.
Where is her family? Are there good people out there who know whether it is right or wrong?

In some ways, what happened here reminds me of Ferguson, Missouri, Michael Brown immediately after shooting. If you’ve seen the documentary, “What Killed Michael Brown?” Shelby Steele details how the lies “hand, don’t shoot” take their own life. It is completely divorced from reality.
What happens when you are like those lies that are like those that are like those that are like our society? When the truth is buried? It creates immoral stripes throughout society. It allows individuals to avoid personal responsibility for lies. It allows the once vaun organization to mess up itself even more before lies.

That’s why Everett still has to be fully responsible. She had no other action to take except for a completely sincere apology. The only way to end this charm is to stop it on track.
Until she did this, she was able to become a better person and member of society.
