Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-Texas) weighed in on the murder conviction of Karmelo Anthony for stabbing Austin Metcalf to death at a high school track meet in April 2025, calling it "just another episode in the 400-year history of racial injustice in this country. Whites have enslaved Blacks since the 1600s. They chained us, whipped us, and lynched us. Now, one teen-aged boy trying to defend himself is being sent to prison for decades. It's just not fair."
"I try to envision what I would do if I were in Karmelo's place," the Congresswoman speculated. "If some 300 lb football player starts beating on me I'd try to even the odds by using a weapon just like Karmelo did when he pulled out his Swiss Army knife. It was so tiny that he couldn't possibly have considered it a deadly weapon. Yet, he's convicted of premeditated murder. It's just not right."
Collin County District Attorney Bill Wirskye pointed out that "Mr. Anthony was trespassing and refused to leave when asked. Instead, he taunted his victim, saying 'touch me and see what happens.' When Metcalf reached to try to turn Anthony toward the exit Anthony stabbed him in the chest with a knife he had brought with him. That knife had a five inch blade. This knife thrust penetrated Metcalf's heart and he bled to death. Both Metcalf and Anthony were football players. Metcalf was 6 feet tall and 200 lbs, Anthony is 5 feet and 11 inches tall and 162 lbs. This was not an instance of justified self-defense. It was a planned ambush. The jury's verdict was appropriate."
Crockett complained that "the DA completely overlooked the 400 years of mistreatment we Blacks have endured from whites. Many Blacks have died at the hands of whites who suffered no consequences for their crimes. There were no Blacks on the jury to consider this history and attempt to balance the scales of justice. In addition, Austin Metcalf's father said he forgives Karmelo. Why was this fact withheld from the jury? Under Sharia law if the victim's family forgives the perpetrator all the charges are dropped. Why can't our system be as humane?"

Couldn’t possibly have been considered a deadly weapon. Austin Metcalf was killed by the application of non-lethal force.
Is that white fragility thing I keep hearing so much about?
“Under Sharia law if the victim’s family forgives the perpetrator all the charges are dropped. Why can’t our system be as humane?”
That is ridiculous. If crime has no consequences, there is no change in behavior.
Jazzy cockpit should move back to Africa, we’ll miss her, we will try hard to get along.
This is turning into George Floyd II
I once served on a criminal jury where a bar fight resulted in a stabbing using a pocketknife, smaller than the one used by melo. The jury found the defendant guilty of using a deadly weapon despite some stupid arguments from racial retards on the jury. As John Wick demonstrated, you can kill someone with a pencil so almost any knife is a deadly weapon. Refer to the Belfast attempted beheading with a bread knife for more proof.
They’d do the exact same thing if the victim was black...so “F” them
If you reject jury trial outcomes, you invite vigilante justice. This idiot woman has no idea the bloodshed that would follow allowing this kind of cold-blooded murder to go unpunished.
There should be a minimum demonstrated IQ to run for congress which would prevent an idiot like Jasmine Crockett from being elected.

That’s her goal.
Never think that the leftist clownshows don’t know what they are doing. There are training sessions all across the United States for candidates and workers.
“...They chained us, whipped us, and lynched us...”
4,000 poor soiled were lynched — 1,000 of them were WHITE Republicans helping the ‘Crockets’ have a better life.
Until they understand history there will be no peace with these racists.
Jizzman Cricket should be deported to the africn country of her choice and stripped of citizenship.
