The twins went live and are upset that the Karmelo Anthony case is being compared to Kyle Rittenhouse.

It’s self defense if his life was imminent and inescapable danger.
Was he being attacked while on the track?
I love the Hodge Twins!
Ludicrous to compare to Rittenhouse.
Rain delay. He was under a tent ... of the opposing team. The victim told him to move, but he refused and said “put your hands on me and find out” or something to that effect. The scuffle lasted all of 30 seconds.
IMO, the guy went there looking for revenge for a scuffle they had the week before. Knew where to find him and dared him to do something. He immediately asked the police if it was self defense since the victim did indeed put his hands on him.
Not even anywhere close to the Rittenhouse case.
Pulled the knife with intent to kill with a targeted plunge to the heart.....born killer.....
The arrest report makes it pretty clear that this should have never been more than a shoving match, and that Karmelo Anthony was never in reasonable fear of death or great bodily injury, and that in consequence he was certainly not priveleged to use deadly force in self defense.
If you read through all of the witness statements contained in the report, it gets worse for Karmelo, who witnesses say dared Metcalf at least twice "Push me and see what happens." and "Punch and see what happens.", which sounds a lot like provocation with intent to me, and makes this sound like straight-up murder.
He's going to have to argue that the disparity of numbers (Metcalf was with his twin brother at the time) put him in reasonable fear of his life, but given the other circumstances (it was a crowded tent, there were adults present, including school employees all of whom would have intervened to prevent things from going too far), he's probably going to be spending a very large percentage of his life in prison.
The reacton from some of the "community" is disturbing though. According to their logic, the undisputed fact that Metcalf "shoved" Anthony is in itself justification for deadly force "the white boy had it coming". Of course, if the tables were turned they would be singing a different song, but that's the narrative that some on the left are trying to run with.
>> born killer.....
born capable of killing
this is how Islam continues to thrive
I’m guessing Ben Crump’s suicide by cop business is drying up so now he is recruiting straight up murders.
Anthony should be put to death.
“The reaction from some of the “community” is disturbing though.”
I know of which “community” you speak of.
I’m speaking only in terms of college football and Facebook - but there’s a very loud segment who think that if you believe Deion Sanders is a trash talking pant load and that Travis Hunter shouldn’t have won the Heisman, you’re a hater (aka white racist).
Real, complete justice would be giving him the death penalty.
Based on the victim’s recent previous encounter with the assailant, it’s appearing pretty clear the victim was setup.
That was my point.
Destroy it.
Rabid ferals should be disposed of.
Oh look the O.J. Simpson fans have crawled back out from under their rocks to defend the murderer with the knife again.
There was a ruor that Karmelo was looking in other people’s bags that day.
I'll bet if they search his computer they will find that he researched self-defense and justification. Hope they've seized it. More evidence of premeditation = malice murder.
The only people defending this lowlife are doing so purely out of racial solidarity.
Understandable on some level . . . but wrong.
