Karmelo didn't cry when the jury heard the 911 call after Austin Metcalf was stabbed.

He didn't cry when Austin's twin brother, Hunter, could be heard screaming in anguish and praying his brother wouldn't die.

He didn't cry when the jury was shown Austin's autopsy photos.

He didn't cry when they saw the blood-soaked shirt used in a desperate attempt to save Austin's life.

But he cried when he was found guilty.

And he cried again when he was sentenced to 35 years.

The only tears the jury saw were for his own fate, not for the life that was taken.

Austin Metcalf was robbed of his high school graduation, he will never get another birthday, another chance to live the life that was stolen from him.

Thirty-five years may be justice under the law, but for many, it doesn't feel like enough.

There’s a subset of prisoners who would see his celebrity as an opportunity to make their own fame by injuring or killing him. That’s why he’s in protective custody. At least long enough to let all the notoriety die down.

Claw back any go fund type money received by his self or his enablers,

A bit surprised after the judgement there at the courthouse a big black man kept repeating:

The only good cracker is a dead cracker.

He was allowed to stand there and taunt the Metcalf family with that over and over and the cops did nothing.

YES. ANYONE who stabs/murders an innocent individual should get justice. It’s not a penalty. It’s justice. The further injustice is having to pay for for Karmelo’s existence for the rest of his life. HIs family and supporters should pick up that tab.

if he gets paroled early the Dems can run him for office. I am sure killing white people is a resume enhancer.

Hoping for a summer riot.
There was a handful of supporters.
I can’t see this taking off like they want without lots of help from the media.

One of the supporters caught the family getting into their car after sentencing, she was a sheeboon screaming, “I’m glad Austin is dead”....AT....THE...FAMILY.

I think the Metcalfs could have gunned her down and claimed temporary insanity.

I am an attorney of 41 years. I was a prosecutor for just short of ten years, and did criminal defense for about 20 years. I had a client many years ago involved in the gang culture. He was black, but he came from a good home. His parents were both high paid professionals with phd credentials. But he got in the gang culture. I defended him in some cases (can’t remember the crimes) but I spent a good deal of time with him. He had bought in to all the rhetoric. He told me that stealing from whites or hurting whites was not a crime and not bad because “whitey owes us” for slavery. Maybe sadly, he was gunned down a year or two later by a rival gang member. I was the FA then, and I prosecuted the kid who killed him. He got what was coming.

“he should get death penalty”

Yes, indeed.

I should think the death penalty would be warranted in a case like this. It was definitely murder.

He didn’t cry because, not only do white lives not matter, they deserve to die.
“This hatred isn’t just nurtured in the black community, this is the message spread, explicitly and implicitly, across the country by schools and universities, by the media, and by many institutions, including corporations.

White people, particularly white men, are the enemy.

This is the result of DEI and Marxist indoctrination.

White people are the oppressors.”

This is exactly right, and the actions of his crazed supporters make that abundantly clear. And they have been running the HR departments of our government, military and major corporations for decades. It has been open season on white males.

The Adams Rule is an excellent guideline to live by.

Somebody bring me up to date on one aspect to this. I never saw anything that gave an excuse for him going into the tent and causing the altercation in the first place. The way I read things was that he went in with the knife started an altercation and stabbed him. There was absolutely nothing to precipitate him going into the tent the first place.

Am I stating that accurately?
