‘We’re in a nightmare’: Karmelo Anthony’s parents speak as son files appeal
Court TV ^ | June 11, 2026 | Lauren Silver

“We’re in a nightmare. It doesn’t feel real,” said Anthony’s parents in their first interview following the verdict with Mimi Brown on The Breakfast Club. “We’ve been up all night crying and praying.”

“We didn’t know how cruel the world could be,” Karmelo Anthony’s father, Andrew Anthony, said. “We did everything we were advised and told to do, and look what happened.”
.
.
.
“The reality of this is that somebody literally walked into [Karmelo’s] life,” he said, “[Karmelo] did everything by the law and just look at where we’re at.”

But they rejected the plea-deal. Why?

the odds of getting one woke commie on the jury were higher

and as you point out, the grift.

Guaranteed that the same people who said Zimmerman wasn’t justified for shooting Martin as Martin as on top of him, slamming his head into the concrete, will ALSO say that Anthony WAS justified for killing his victim for being pushed after being asked to leave a place he wasn’t supposed to be in.

Amazing, isn't it? They are the real "Master Race," at least in their own minds.

THIS is why the entire trial should have been televised. The lack of public transparency allows these people to create their own narrative. Thus, impugning the integrity of the evidence, prosecutors, witnesses, jury and ultimate verdict. If there was ever a trial that needed to be made public, this is the one.

Instead of contacting law enforcement, the district handled it “internally”.. giving him a slap‑on‑the‑wrist punishment that barred him from sports and extracurriculars for the rest of the school year.. and that internal punishment is exactly why Karmelo was not supposed to be at the track meet in the first place...

The Metcalfs should sue the school district. They didn't even confiscate the knife?? My God...

That bastard created his nightmare because they are greedy, dishonest people who raised a little murderer for a son.

I do not feel sorry for them one iota. They were hateful toward the family of Austin Metcalf and had the audacity to try to sell the plight of their thug spawn as a victim.

That weasel was carted off the the really big house today where he can really find out what being scared actually is.

These trashy grifters can just shut up and live with the consequences of their actions along with their son.

Worst part is that they have a few more poorly raised spawns to foist on society.

“didn’t he admit to chasing his mom around with a knife, also?”
_______________

No. He chased his mother w/a hammer; his brother intervened.

For accuracy, I should also point out that the knife incident did not actually harm his friend as the blade was deflected by the friend’s belt buckle.

My point here is not to disparage or defame Dr. Carson. It is to point out that there appears to be a violent cultural influence in Black society that can negatively impact even as highly intelligent and kindly individual as Dr. Carson.

Yeah, I never try to identify accents anymore, such as Scottish vs. Irish vs. whatever. They get all upset if you guess wrong, just as if it makes any difference.

I grew up as a military brat, and then served myself, and I realized that I had been exposed to so many different accents from around the USA that they all melded together in my head, and I couldn’t tell any of them apart (except “Southern”, and occasionally...”New York”)

I can generally tell Scottish from English, and English from Irish, etc.

But like you said, some don’t like it if you get it wrong...:)
