A fundraiser for a Texas teen accused of fatally stabbing Austin Metcalf garnered nearly $90,000 in donations from more than 2,400 donors on Sunday, as the teen claims 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 New York Post reported.

This fund now appears to reward the behavior.

It depends on your ethnicity
$90,000 will buy a lot of Honeybuns after they send him to prison.
$90K to kill more white kids is inspiring.
The “Dissed People” of the world have united. He dintdonuffin.
Evil sure has its fans and supporters!
Just wait: It’ll be discovered that, like St. Trayvon, he’s a small-time criminal with a juvenile record. He might even have been in the opposing teams’ tents looking for loot.
There is a side of this story that the victim laid hands on the accused first.
While the knifing was obviously not an appropriate level of response, the victim is not 100% innocent either.
It’s going to be interesting how Texas law on self defense is looked at in this case.
Prayers for the family.
Some even bring guns. In court, he’ll be able to explain the self defense angle.
I’ve only read that the victim laid hands on the murder’s backpack.
Texas law allows the use of deadly force if your life is threatened. Unarmed kid laying hands on another kid is not life threatening in this case. The murderer is going to jail.
The Left embraces murder of those it detests, in this case, an exceptional white kid.
They always have, mind you. But now it is out in the open.
The victim evidently put his hand on the murderer to get him to move. That was a very stupid thing to do.
Of course such a move does not warrant a lethal response. Every state in the nation has proportional force laws. In most situations, you cannot respond to a touch or a grab with lethal force.
However, that touch has gained the murderer sympathy in some quarters. And might get him off with a lesser charge. It all depends on the jury.
Sad. BTTT
I guess you mean the next time “one of them” puts hands on me I can just make sure they breathe no more, right?
Gotcha.
Reparations will solve these problems.
Take from those who never owned slaves and give it to those that never were slaves.
where else do they reward darker skinned people for killing whitey....
oh ya...
Gaza......
Your force must proportional. I didn’t make that law. I’m just telling you what it says.
So can you use lethal force in response to a touch? You betcha. Suppose you’re an old guy, and a crowd of yutes follows you while threatening you. Then one grabs you. A jury might well believe you thought your life was in danger.
But it’s not up to you or me. It’s up to the DA and then a jury.
Blacks can do no wrong to many people.
