Karmelo Anthony jurors fear for their lives as disturbing trend explodes in retaliation for verdict and they're gagged from speaking publicly
Daily Mail UK ^ | June 11, 2026 | Rachel Bowman

There are growing fears for the Karmelo Anthony jurors amid a disturbing viral trend of agitators attacking people across the country, claiming they were part of the jury that convicted him.

Anthony, 19, was found guilty of murder and sentenced to 35 years behind bars for fatally stabbing 17-year-old Austin Metcalf at a Texas track meet in 2025.

The murder case shocked America, and the discussion surrounding the killing of a white teenager by a black peer quickly became racially fraught.

The verdict prompted fierce backlash from Anthony's supporters who say he was discriminated against because there were no black members of the jury.

The judge has issued a gag order for the jurors that prevents them speaking about the case and protects their identities amid concerns for their safety.

A new online trend has emerged of Anthony's supporters approaching unsuspecting people and accusing them of being on the jury.

One video posted by a user in Jacksonville, Florida, showed a man on a bike confronting another person who appeared to be homeless, sitting on a sidewalk.

The cyclist said, 'Hey, wasn’t he on jury selection?' before hitting him.

Anyone stupid enough to kill any member of the jury will get death penalty.

The Amish don’t deserve to be disparaged for the behavior of blacks. It’s like referring to Jews every time a Muslim commits and act of terrorism.

Like picking cotton, many of the black race baiters are not picking this particular situation to run their mouths.

This was a very clear situation where there was a bad guy who did a bad thing. If the tent was full of black kids and they told Anthony to beat it and he kept pressing........the outcome would be the same.

If the killer was white and the tent was full of white or black kids, the outcome is the same. Murderer will sit in prison.

This case wasn’t even about race ... until the unhinged crowd made it about race. Crazy.

I hate to say that thought probably is growing. Now imagine if in those hypothetical cases where the shooters started to be found 'not guilty' no matter the evidence.

I would imagine those old enough to remember things prior to the 60s in the South would be horrified to see their community having inadvertently resurrecting a monster out of ignorance they thought they had put to rest after a lot of struggle.

I notice Al Sharpton stayed away from this case. That says a lot.

The accused has been convicted and sentenced. I don’t see where hizzonor has any further jurisdiction.

The attackers aren’t Amish.

The use of the term "amish" is a more P.C. term to use to describe the subjects. It's used all over the internet. We all know here that they aren't Amish.

Or if a black kills a black, it’s like yawn! Just another day. Apparently black lives only matter when a white kills a black.

Where did you get the idea that this FL bike attacker gave a rat’s 6 about plausibility?

Did we not just get a verdict on the guy whose defense was that he said “touch me and see what happens?”

The only reason is they want to kill. The words are just there for show.

A nervous jury panel is not a new thing. Some years back a koranimal went on trial for murder. Some organization that is sympathetic to islam (CAIR?, IRUSA?, MLFA?) issued a public threat to all the jury panelists stating that all the panelists were known and anyone who voted to convict would be made to regret that decision. Needless to say several jury panels were called before seating a jury could be completed.

“Apparently black lives only matter when a white kills a black.”

A lot of abortionist are white. Most abortions happen on black people.

Where is BLM or the Black Panthers to protest with me at abortion clinics? Hello? Tap tap tap..is this thing on?
