[Dilbert San Diego]

LOL, I see what you did there.

[READINABLUESTATE]

Never let a crisis go to waste.

[IndyTiger]

No, he’s with Dewey, Cheatem, and Howe.

[madprof98]

No doubt the family will get a tax-expensed lawyer, and then they can appeal his conviction on ground of ineffective counsel.

[sgt_lau]

Being ghetto trash is bad enough but a young man with a bright future was killed because this oxygen thief felt he was disrespected.

[ImJustAnotherOkie]

They’re white and will need blackface.

[dfwgator]

What’s funny is these days in Frisco most of the students are Hindus.

Video evidence incriminating

[DouglasKC]

By the time they get through with this the white kid he killed is going to be characterized as a clan member who regularly killed and hate black babies while calling them the n word.

[BenLurkin]

It’s almost as if they went into this with a plan to get rich.

[jacknhoo]

Pack of savages.

[Paladin2]

Wasn’t this Brother indicted yesterday for Murder One?

[Reddy]

“I could be wrong, but I think the average public defender is basically in charge of saying, “You know what? I think your best best is just to plead guilty.”

Plus Karmelo confessed to the cops at the time of arrest. And it’s all on video. The Anthony family is trying to use Karmelo’s skin color as a shield against justice and to foment racism.

Shame on them.

[ABN 505]

Dewey, Cheatum and Howe.

[The Louiswu]

The final truth is this Karmelo is innocent until proven guilty. Put up the evidence, disregard the irrelevant and let justice prevail.

[CivilWarBrewing]

RACIST POS FAMILY. BURN IN HELL.

[plain talk]

"The family also recently raised the campaign’s goal to $1.4 million, sparking questions about the use of funds.

Since the killing, the Anthonys have purchased a new Cadillac and moved into a $900,000 home."

LOL!

[Drew68]

The family probably figures the kid’s lifetime earning were likely about $600,000. So they will just keep that and toss the bum to the wolves.

It's just as well. Money spent on attorneys would have been wasted. He's going to prison no matter who his lawyer is. Might as well hire my cousin Vinny.

Maybe he can get Ketanji Brown-Jackson to do some pro-bono work. Legend has it, she went to law school.

[Drew68]

Video evidence incriminating

Seems it doesn't show Karmelo defending himself from Metcalf's violent, unprovoked assualt as his supporters promised it would.

Next door to Frisco is Coppell, whose demographic is over 80% South Asian. Coppell ISD consistently gets A grades in state rankings.
