One witness said Metcalf touched Anthony, while another said he grabbed Anthony during the confrontation, according to the report.

Neither justifies STABBING another, let alone the ability to claim ‘self-defense’

We had a policeman visit our martial arts club to talk about self defense laws.

This is definitely NOT a case of self defense if someone touches or grabs you. You cannot resort to deadly violence when someone touches or pushes you.

Self defense in the case that what we have been told is true....

Regardless. If Saint Karmelo felt his life was in danger he had to; remove his back pack, open the back pack which would most likely require both hand, reach in and fumble around to find the knife, grip knife in dominant hand, square off to his “attacker and plunge it in to his chest.

Not likely. I bet the videos show a scenario much different than the grifters are describing. And there will be riots if found guilty and the media will move on ignoring the case ever happened.
