Fundraiser for Texas football star Austin Metcalf’s accused killer rakes in $60,000 as he claims self-defense

A fundraiser for the Texas teen accused of fatally stabbing Austin Metcalf and leaving him to die in his twin brother’s arms has raked in over $60,000 as of Sunday — as the teen maintains he acted in self-defense.

The GiveSendGo campaign was purportedly set up by the family of Karmelo Anthony, 17, who cops say confessed to the horrific stabbing at a track meet in Frisco, Texas, last Wednesday.

The page claimed that the “narrative being spread is false, unjust, and harmful.”

“As a family of faith, we are deeply grateful for all of your support during this trying period. Your prayers and assistance mean more to us now more than ever,” according to the fundraiser.

The company, which also hosted a fundraiser that brought in hundreds of thousands for Daniel Penny’s legal defense after he was charged in the NYC subway chokehold death, did not immediately respond to a request for comment to confirm the authenticity of the campaign.

The fundraiser had raked in over $60,000 in donations from 1,600 donors as of Sunday morning.

Just a great 4.0 kid — who lacked prudence (something parents forgot to teach) and carried a blade to a track meet at a rival school.

What the flock is GiveSendGo? The clowns living in the country have too much disposable income these days. Way too much money. And most of it is stolen from the taxpayers and handed over to them by “civil servants”.

Self-defense and he used a knife against an unarmed kid.

Another report I read said the murderer was going through the backpacks in the tent, stealing things.

Yes, in the good old days, a certain part of town would have been burned to the ground - and the city safe for years to come...

Will it be okay, going forward, to setup GOFUND ME page(s) when this role is reversed and the white perp is arrested for the murder of a black boy?

If so, I have no problem with it. I do not believe any demographic should ever get any type of special privileges.

This happened in public, so there should be a lot of witnesses to evaluate the “self-defense” claim. From what we know about the victim, he does not sound like someone who would get violent over a misunderstanding about where someone was supposed to be sitting, and him being violent would be the only rationale for him being fatally stabbed.

Every time I go to high school sports events I carry guns or knives. And as a matter of routine, I always kill any unarmed person who touches me.

Of course it was self defense! He was oppressed his entire life by whitey.
