'Free Melo': Karmelo Anthony's friends, family sell merch in support of Austin Metcalf's admitted killer
The Post Millennial ^ | 04/17/2025 | Staff

Friends and relatives of 17-year-old Karmelo Anthony, the Texas high school student accused of fatally stabbing another teen, are promoting t-shirts with his face on them with slogans like “FreeMelo” and “#Justice4KarmeloAnthony.” When he was taken into custody after the fatal stabbing of Austin Metcalf at a Frisco High School track meet, Anthony admitted that he was the killer.

A website selling the shirts describes Anthony as “just a small town kid, raised in a loving two parent household,” and goes on to paint a portrait of him as a model youth.

“Karmelo, A 4.0 student. A football team captain. A leader, a protector, a role model. Karmelo Anthony is the kind of young man every parent hopes to raise. He speaks with respect. He takes care of his younger siblings and little cousins. He works hard, stays out of trouble, and carries himself with dignity,” the website states.

Anthony was arrested earlier this month after authorities said he stabbed fellow student Austin Metcalf during a confrontation at a high school track meet. According to police, the dispute began when Metcalf told Anthony he was sitting under the wrong team’s tent and asked him to leave. A witness claimed Anthony replied, “Touch me and see what happens,” before the altercation turned physical. Metcalf was fatally stabbed and died in the arms of his twin brother.

It’s a bad thing to wish harm and trouble on people. No replies to me please, I’m wishing.

Black people who support this are too stupid to realize they are hurting their cause.

This was the only way they could speculate on how/when or even if the young Karmelo ever shows up at a college sporting event.

Hey. You never hear of a knife fight at the chess club meet, did you.

This Is all going to be carefully orchestrated to get this kid off on manslaughter with a very light sentence. Its really sickening but that’s what will likely happen.

What a steaming crock of sh*t.

That punk is not a 4.0 student. He is a stupid, lowlife thug, who casually murdered a person. That little thug is so entitled that he makes himself out to be the victim. Thank you, Obama, for encouraging such tribal behavior and racial hatred - YOU SUCK!!!

Back in 2014, relatives of Michael Brown (Michael Brown, Sr.'s mother-in-law Pearlie Gordon) were selling 'Justice for Mike Brown' merchandise, when Michael Brown's mother Lesley McSpadden and a group of other people attacked the Ferguson vendors.

He also steals stuff from others at the track meet and fatally stabs anyone who objects to his thievery!

Wrongful death suit. That’s the ticket. Go full Goldman on this after the trial.
