I did not realize "good kids" bring knives to a track event and get lionized for the cold-blooded murder they commit.

This fund now appears to reward the behavior.

$90,000 will buy a lot of Honeybuns after they send him to prison.

$90K to kill more white kids is inspiring.

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.

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.

Reparations will solve these problems.

Take from those who never owned slaves and give it to those that never were slaves.

“”Your prayers and assistance mean more to us now more than ever,”””

Guess the family is used to having people pray for them...have to wonder why!

Should be illegal to fundraise off crime, especially murder. Grotesque imbeciles and race hucksters.

Some things I’ve been wondering about:
1) Were there black athletes on the same team as Metcalf? Or Hispanic, Native American, etc.?
2) If so, were black athletes present in the team tent?
3) Did the murderer’s team have a tent?
4) Was there a policy or tradition that track teams stayed in their own areas? In football, baseball, basketball, hockey, etc., members of the opposing teams are separated; this avoids conflicts, spying on plans/strategy, etc.
5) Did members of other track teams typically enter their opponents’ tents/assembly areas at this meet, and hang out during the competition?
6) WHY did Karmelo Anthony go into the opposing team’s canopy?
7) WHY did Karmelo Anthony bring nto the canopy a knife concealed in a satchel? Did he plan for or fear mortal combat? If so, why go there?

“The GiveSendGo campaign was purportedly set up by the family of Karmelo Anthony, ...

GiveSendGo can't manage this fund. They've already said they will have nothing to do with racist hate crimes, so they can't offer their services in this case.

I cannot imagine anyone donating one cent to pay for his defense. Unbelievable to me.
