Karmelo and his defense.

Killer Karmelo Anthony has been found guilty of murder for the fatal stabbing of Austin Metcalf at a Texas high school track meet.
Anthony, now 19, sobbed, and his family burst into tears as the judge read the verdict on Tuesday.
The jury deliberated for less than three hours after the defense and prosecution delivered closing arguments.
Anthony claimed he was acting in self-defense when he stabbed Metcalf, 17, with a folding knife after a heated argument at the high school event in Frisco in April 2025.
The case shocked America, and the discussion surrounding it quickly became racially fraught.
During closing arguments, prosecutors eviscerated Anthony's self-defense claim and encouraged jurors to find him guilty of murder.
'What is important is not motive. It's mindset. Mindset. He took a knife to a track meet,' Collin County First Assistant District Attorney Bill Wirskye said.
'[Anthony] of course, felt empowered that he was going to come out on top of any encounter. You don't get to meet a shove with a stab, especially if you provoke the shove.'
Wirskye added, 'Why didn't he just walk away. He could have left the tent at any time. He didn't. He didn't abandon the encounter.'

The same!
I’m not sure I’ve cheered for prison rape but given the dearth of death sentences, much less any that actually lead to the convict’s death, it is the next best thing.
Yep. I had a Case folding knife in my pocket most of the time.
“Mostly peaceful” riots in 3...2...1....
Why is the Beretta them song playing in my head?
Endless appeals, cries of racism and not getting a fair trial, hour after hour of riots and revenge from others of his kind. It never ends.
Killing a football player in Texas is slightly less egregious than killing a veteran of The Alamo.
Karmelo and his defense.
Austin Metcalf couldn’t be reached for comment.
Wish they could give him the chair.
I don't think we have that in Texas, but we do have the Big Dripper.
I have no interest in seeing criminal justice subbed out to criminals of any sort, let along sadists and deviant perverts.
Did your son show Sean Metcalf mercy? Screw you and screw your putrid son. Had he not entered a tent he had no right to be in, he wouldn't be where he is today. All he had to do was continue on his way, and when he was asked to leave, he could have simply left, but he didn't. Instead, he chose to be a bully, punk, and a belligerant a-hole, and what transpired was his own fault, no one else's. I hope his prison life turns into a nightmare for him, and when prison justice hopefully ends his life, that he rots in hell.
Remember all that we were told about Karmelo when this happened? He was a good boy, from an intact nuclear family. A star athlete and an honor student!
And yet he demonstrated the same racist attitude, the same lack of impulse control, the same propensity for violence as the basest hoodrat from any ghetto in America.
Most of the black community is raising their children to be entitled, violent, antisocial feral animals. Beware them unless you personally know them to be different. Avoid them in groups like the plague.
The Adams Rule is an excellent principle to live by.
Can you imagine the parents (and rest of family) seeing his identical twin every day, only to be reminded of his brother.
