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.

The use of the term "amish" is a more P.C. term to use to describe the subjects.

And I'm tired of "PC terms". Their use is dishonest, as is everything else "PC".

It's past time to call a spade a spade.

Too many and more than enough of them already are.

[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.]


Amish. Because Canadian was too obscure.

It should be a death penalty offense to attack a juror.

Leftist a-hole agitators with too much time on their hands SHOULD have a lot to answer for.
This is disgusting and SHOULDN’T be happening in this nation.

Time for the jurors to arm up just in case!

Check out that video of the veteran in Florida that was attacked. The woman get in front of him and it seems she is protecting him but she’s not she’s actually protecting the black man who attacked the veteran. That veteran was armed! He was casually pulling out his gun after he got up. Look closely at his right hand and what he is doing.

Excellent idea. Jurors are the most important people in the courtroom and get the least respect.

“..Shoot a few of them. he rest will get the message....”

It seems to be the only language these feral animals seem to fully understand. They sure as hell don’t understand basic law & order in a civilized society.

Not too obscure, just a different application - all the Canadians coming over the border.

This is not just simple assault.

Sec. 36.06. Obstruction or Retaliation in the Texas penal code makes this type of behavior a 2nd Degree Felony.

(c) An offense under this section is a felony of the third degree, except that the offense is a felony of the second degree if:

(1) the victim of the offense was harmed or threatened because of the victim’s service or status as a juror;

Courts ought to be busy indicting these pieces of filth.

“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.”

My big fear is that some court clerk will “accidentally” release the names and addresses of the jurors.

Sick of this crap! This isn’t the first hideous black on white murder. The news is continually littered with rabid black dogs attacking annd killing innocent white people. I could list them all but let’s just go to last Saturday in Philadelphia. A Penn State student was fifty feet from his home and attacked for his cell phone, when he tried to get it back he was shot and murdered.

This is ridiculous it happens all the time and just fed up with media pretending this is a one time slaughter and their excuse is, Karmelo was reported to be a “good kid”, which is BS.

The Left has clearly set the agenda.

All-out Race War.

Do not misjudge this.
