Jeff Metcalf unloads on Karmelo Anthony in Court

Austin Metcalf's dad, Jeff, just unloaded on Karmelo Anthony. "We were robbed, don't look down, of all of these things." "I said from day one, this was never about race, please don't politicize it. But what did you choose to do, both. It's about right and wrong. We're all humans. We all bleed the same color. "You're free to make choices all you want, but you're not free from those consequences. You will face those consequences starting today." "People think that grief is sadness but its not. IT"S RAGE!!! (slamming his hands on the table.) Pure unfiltered rage,' he shouts. "You failed your parents, your failed yourself and you failed society, You don't belong in this community," he says to Karmelo. "You're going to prison, You can't even look me in the eyes right now but you can stab my ******* son in the heart."

Karmelo is scum and that is an insult to scum.

I sure hope the Metcalf family sues the Anthony family in civil court.

I wish I could have been there to hear him say this too.

The murder’s family got lots of money from their heartless “supporters”.
The Metcalf family should get all of it and millions more in damages for the loss of their son. Sue the hell out of them.

The Metcalf family is a little late in their outrage.

They should have spoken their peace before the jury rendered the sentence

Well, your approach would likely have gotten "Melo" a mistrial, and it certainly would have gotten the Metcalfs jailed for violating the gag order.

So, if you are supporter of Karmello, I understand your position.

That is why I said they should sue in civil court for wrongful death. Get all that money.

imagine your parents grifting over half a million dollars on your defense, them blowing all of it, and you get stuck with what has to be the worse public pretender on the planet.

Karmelo is below scum, and so is his parents.

“They should have spoken their peace before the jury rendered the sentence”
**************************************
They probably didn’t have the opportunity in court. This is the pre sentencing portion where they give victim impact statements.

There is no money:

BRAVE AI:

Yes, GoFundMe deleted all of Karmelo Anthony’s fundraising accounts. The platform removed the campaigns and fully refunded all donations because its Terms of Service prohibit raising funds for the legal defense of individuals charged with violent crimes.

Key details regarding the removal:

Reason for Deletion:

GoFundMe cited its long-standing policy banning fundraisers for the legal defense of alleged violent crimes.

Family Statement:

Karmelo Anthony’s family stated they had no involvement with the GoFundMe campaigns and clarified that they did not authorize or endorse them.

Alternative Platform:

Following the removal, an active fundraiser for Anthony’s legal defense and family support remained on GiveSendGo, which raised over $300,000 before also facing calls for removal.

Remember all that we were told about Karmelo when this happened? He was a good boy, from an intact nuclear family. A star athlete and an honor student!

And yet he demonstrated the same racist attitude, the same lack of impulse control, the same propensity for violence as the basest hoodrat from any ghetto in America.

Most of the black community is raising their children to be entitled, violent, antisocial feral animals. Beware them unless you personally know them to be different. Avoid them in groups like the plague.

The Adams Rule is an excellent principle to live by.

They used that money for lawyers? BS somewhere out there is a pic of karmelo on a new car just after the fundraiser hit big.

None of that money was spent on a lawyer, Karmelo used a public pretender in court.

This is why the defense didn’t put on any character witnesses. 😏

Mr. Metcalf should’ve “unloaded” like Gary Plauché did.

Bad idea. Very bad idea. Uh, if I were the family lawyer, I would have advised to shut up. Defense could call tainted jury, request for venue change, and a handful of other stuff. The race card only works one way in public opinion today.
