The teenager accused of fatally stabbing Austin Metcalf and leaving him to die in his twin brother’s arms at a high school track meet allegedly admitted to the senseless killing — but claimed it was in self defense.
“I’m not alleged, I did it,” 17-year-old Karmelo Anthony chillingly told police in Frisco, Texas as he was being arrested at Kuykendall Stadium, according to an arrest warrant obtained by NBC DFW.
The horrific stabbing was sparked when Anthony, who was sitting under another team’s pop up tent as it rained Wednesday morning, was asked by Metcalf to move — and Anthony refused, according to the arrest report.
Anthony then unzipped a bag, reached inside and told Metcalf, who he’d never met before, “Touch me and see what happens,” a witness told police, according to the document.

Not excusing the killer but let’s be real. Laying your hands on another person during a confrontation can be fatal. If the dead boy had gone to an adult authority and let them handle it he would be alive today.
Expect the MSM to start publishing articles on how wypipo in suburbia are responsible for the majority of knife crimes.
There were occasionally shotguns and rifles in the pickup trucks of some country students, at my high school.
Blaming the victim..........................SOP Democrats
We used to take our rifles to shop to apply wooden inlays to the stocks. Of course, we weren’t being taught to kill each other if someone bullied or “dissed” us in those days.
AP Associated Propaganda, Actual Propaganda, Accessory Perpetrators.
Back when I took ccl class they taught in Texas you are not allowed to engage in an altercation and then escalate it to deadly force. Victims actions might be the difference between murder and a lesser charge but given the depravity shown by the killer, and the county in which this will be tried, I doubt the killer will get much leniency.
“This case may get very complicated.“
Translation: Defense will try to complicate what is a very uncomplicated event.
Reasonable will be key and stabbing an unarmed person is not a reasonable response. BUT “they” seem to get a different standard of “reasonableness”
I do, to watch, not compete, and also at least one gun.
They also travel to Church, and anywhere else I go {which is why I stopped flying}.
This story is on FNC but the msm is avoiding it, because it doesn't fit the victim/perp color pattern.
CNN cannot out draw the food channel, they struggle to break a half a million viewers.
“If this had been the other way around, it would be a national story on every network and the racial component would be mentioned in every sentence, with at least a few cities on fire right now. This hypocritical double standard is pathetic and blatantly obvious.”
Yep. NPR would break from its “poor innocent Palestinians” stories to talk about the loss of a wonderful, aspiring, rap star with a bright future.
This story does seem to be getting more than usual publicity than other similar stories, which may or may not be reported locally for a day and then dropped entirely and forgotten. I’m seeing it on a lot of normie news sites, including photos of the murderer and his young victim.
You can be sure if the races were reversed, it would be 24/7 national, headline news for weeks on end.
Good thing this is Texas and not California where a judge would put the murderer into a “youth diversion program” to be released at 25 and not tried as an adult as he will be in Texas.
“There were occasionally shotguns and rifles in the pickup trucks of some country students, at my high school.”
Because of break in in the parking lot, we would get in trouble if we left them in the truck. We were required to bring our shotguns into school and put them in our locker (if we had the long lockers) or with a coach/teacher.
“”Why is this not a national news story... I already know the answer.””
Another “Obama-son” story. And that attitude, ‘touch me and see what happens’, despite being where he was NOT supposed to be, is straight from that anti-whitey (and anti-Semitism) Critical Race Theory Marxist doctrine that Obama was soaking up and pushing via his mentor....Reverend Wright.
Correct.
17 is an adult, period, in Texas.
13 would probably get tried as an adult.
Best part, at 18 he’ll go to big boy prison.
What’s illegal about having a knife? Till everybody went guanopathic about “weapons”, most boys in Texas carried pocket knives.
Here comes the self defense argument. I hate to say it but the kid may have a shot at least at getting the charges reduced just because the other kid grabbed him and he’s well, black.
Our wrestling coach put gave them boxing gloves and let them duke it out.
Just walk away....
Sounds like self defense.
