Family of alleged killer Karmelo Anthony to use $439,000 in donations to buy new home.

"PosSibLy prOVocative?"

"...reported to the police fOr bEiNg suSpisCIOus"

People are literally threatening his life online. So there's that.

What a tragedy.

Violence brining further violence.

Some will call it a FAFO situation. Some will say it was self-defense.

Some will say no provocation should ever lead to murder.

Maybe they are all right.

But a life has been lost, and another ruined.

What a tragedy.

Buying a $100K+ Escalade is outrageous.

Karmelo Anthony will probably walk

The stabbing of Austin Metcalf by Karmelo Anthony is tragic. It could have ended in so many different ways.

Yet Karmelo Anthony will most likely walk away with little, if any, prison time.

Karmelo was in a public place (erecting a canopy/popup/pole tent/shade tent does not make public property private), legally possessed a knife (Texas law allows you to have a knife with a blade under 5.5 inches on campus), and was protecting himself from potential serious bodily injury (the requirement to use deadly force in Texas’ Stand Your Ground law).

This may be the rare case where a young black man over reacted, but acted within the law. Were his actions morally correct? No were they lawful? Yes.

FWIW when states like Florida and Texas passed these stand your ground laws, Democrats (especially black people) rallied and protested against them for months. We TOLD you (collective you) that they were going to get someone killed. And they have. This time, it just so happens that the person who was killed was a young white man and the person who stood his ground was a young black man.

Karmelo wasn’t “trespassing”. He was on public property. Just because you erect a pole tent/pop up on public property doesn’t now somehow magically convert that property to private property.

Someone mentioned an example of public property open to the public (such as an employee break room at a public library). That doesn’t apply to this situation as the bleachers were open to the general public at the time of the event. Austin asking Karmelo to leave holds no legal relevance as Austin is not an authorized representative of the school district, is not a law enforcement officer, and Austin’s school was not given any exclusive rights to the area (such as a permit or written contract to use a certain area of the bleachers).

His presence may have been “antagonistic”, in the colloquial sense of the word, but it was lawful and he had no duty or legal obligation to leave. It was public property (not even a school) owned by the school district.

In Texas having a knife on campus, with a blade under 5.5 inches is legal. Period.

Being pushed, then grabbed (see police report) could lead someone to reasonably believe they were at risk of serious bodily injury. Texas law allows for you to then use deadly force.

This isn’t about feelings, morality, or your opinion. So far, all facts released to the public point to this being a lawful homicide.

But we told you these things would happen.

Free Melo'

House arrest? Pretty nice jail cell. Even Martha Stewart would be impressed.

zimmerman, a spanish democrat supporter, was attacked by a druggie who georg had already reported to the police for being suspicious. if i remember rightly he was pounding georges head into the ground when george shot him with what was presumably a legal gun.

rittenhouse had been cleaning graffiti when he was attacked during a riot by person 1 who chased him and tried to grab his gun, person 2 who asaulted him with a skateboard and tried to grab his gun, and person 3 who approached him pointing a pistol at him.

Rittenhouse was 17 somewhere he shouldn't have been with two guns that weren't his. I'll wait to see how you twist this into being somehow better than having one knife

Zimmerman simply needed bro walk away he was not defending himself

Anthony was at a track meet. Assaulted twice. Warned Austin to cease assaulting him and defended himself. If the two above examples were justified then so should Anthony.

Safe to say that Anthony going into a stadium tent in the pouring rain was not gratuitously seeking a chance to be violent before he was threatened and assaulted, not in the same way as

- Zimmerman, a grown man who carried a gun while following and harassing a teenager
- Rittenhouse, a 17 year-old who went to a protest with an AR-15-style semiautomatic assault rifle

Those guys got off on all charges, right? "Stand your ground," right?

Is "stand your ground" a defense that everyone can use? Or just some people?

What I find most humorous is people claiming he has a 4.0 GPA. How many 4.0 GPA students are carrying a big knife on a high school campus? In my estimation - NONE!

What's most unfair to Karmelo is that he has a brand new all-tripped out Cadillac Escalade and he can't be tooling around town hooking up with the babes because he is stuck at home! Let the guy have some fun!

Both of those people were attacked and feared for their lives.

At no point did this animal fear for his life. He felt "disrespected" so he murdered someone.

Anyone defending this idiot is a POS.

that's nothing, the woman who founded Black Lives Matter bought three houses and a BMW

Since you're so intelligent. What does gpa have to do with the incident? You guys trying to create a narrative rather than focusing on facts of the incident. Good thing you are not a judge or a police investigator.

Again white people being more enraged about BLM. I as a black guy whose father is at the head of a major black non-profit have never met a single other black or white person person who has ever donated to BLM.

Funniest thing is I never see you guys complaining about what the KKK buys for the grand wizard. Or people like Nick Fuentes receiving money and support for being racist really bizarre how it's only the black people that bother you guys

Who are/were the Simps sending these people money? Reverse racists? Guilty white people? Losers. All Losers. That karmello kid is a coward, a big coward. Could've thrown punches or walked away but noooooooooo. He's going to prison for a long time, he will be mincemeat for the career criminals. Have fun.

Thirty one years in this sport and never heard of somebody being murdered or killing somebody in self defense at a track meet.

Karmelo brought a knife to a meet. He used it to kill somebody. Even if he felt threatened, he very easily could have walked away, told a coach, parent, or authority that he was being harassed, and the situation would have likely ended without incident.

Again, he brought a knife and used it… at a track meet, with hundreds of people around. Why not pull out your phone and expose the “bully/bullies”? Why not go tell an adult what the/these supposed bully/bullies were doing? He had an agenda, and he accomplished it.

And homey got a 150,000 dollar Escalade.

I couldn’t find anything about purchasing an Escalade. Can you provide a link or was it just a post made by a guy on X?
