College Freshman Stabbed to Death After Seeing Three Young Women Being Groped and Stepping in to Help

With final exams on the horizon, Donnell Marcus Phelps was all set to finish his freshman year at Fort Valley State University in Georgia.

The 19-year-old from Marshallville had been studying agricultural engineering technology but also found time to manage the university’s tennis team.

 And help those in need. 

Late Tuesday afternoon he witnessed a man harassing three young ladies. The man was touching these girls in a very inappropriate way, so he decided to step in. However, he was forced to bring fists to a knife fight.

An autopsy showed Phelps was stabbed four times in the upper torso with a pocket knife with a 3.5-inch blade.

“Words cannot describe the pain that we all feel in the Fort Valley State community,” university President Paul Jones said at news conference, offering condolences to Phelps’ family, friends, students and the entire community.

Johnson described Phelps as selfless: “He always gave us hugs, and he’d always check up on us,” she added to the Telegraph.

Donnell Phelps died a hero. His Mom did an incredible job raising an amazing person. God bless this young man for his sacrificial act of bravery. His life matters.

 RIP Donnell Phelps.

I’ve noticed that whenever a discovery like this one is made, there’s a tone of shock and words like “unprecedented” start being flung around. The problem is that this kind of writing is predicated on the assumption that only European people and cultures have a history worth mentioning, and that anything noteworthy happening elsewhere is some kind of reversal of a natural order in which Europe is both first and central to any comparison.

Notice that this is touched on in the first paragraph of the article, without actually naming what the assumptions consist of:

Archaeologists in Cambodia have found multiple, previously undocumented medieval cities not far from the ancient temple city of Angkor Wat, the Guardian can reveal, in groundbreaking discoveries that promise to upend key assumptions about south-east Asia’s history.

The Australian archaeologist Dr Damian Evans, whose findings will be published in the Journal of Archaeological Science on Monday, will announce that cutting-edge airborne laser scanning technology has revealed multiple cities between 900 and 1,400 years old beneath the tropical forest floor, some of which rival the size of Cambodia’s capital, Phnom Penh.

And because these assumptions have raged unchecked for centuries, you have what was apparently the largest empire in the 12th century lying undiscovered in Cambodia for hundreds of years because “no one” expected it to be there.

It might seem like a petty gripe, but consider the sheer size and scope of it:

Try and imagine that no one knew Ancient Rome existed until like, a year ago.

I found this particular sentence from another article about this “discovery” interesting:

In 2012, scientists confirmed the alleged existence of another temple city near Angkor Wat.

Alleged by whom? My guess is probably the people who live in the area and knew it was there all along, but it doesn’t “count” until it’s been accounted for by Australian, French, American, and British academics, who are the only ones I could find quoted on this excavation in various articles.
