‘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.”

This has to be a gag - these people can’t be for real.

How can we possibly coexist with people having this level of stupidity

It's not stupidity so much as it is total denial of reality. They live in a Democrat/communist/liberal promulgated fantasy world where black people are perpetual victims of whitey hence black people bear no responsibility for their actions because the USA bees racis. Reality just intruded on their fantasy world and they are so deep into their perverse and inverted world view can't seem to accept reality. They are so locked into that fantasy world that facts (their thug son is a cold blooded murderer) don't register.

As far as coexistence goes their mindset is probably much harder to get alone with than stupidity.

Your post reminds me of a guy I used to know who worked in Australia for several years. He liked to tell Aussies that even though they spoke English, they still lived in a third world country. Said it was absolutely guaranteed to enrage them, every time.

“We’re in a nightmare. It doesn’t feel real,”

I'm guessing the apple is darn close to the tree.

It wasn’t a nightmare while you were able to make money off his crime.

This is not ordinary parental denial. This is the entitlement mentality that has metastasized beyond demands for free housing, debt cancellation, or preferential treatment. It now includes the asserted right to commit lethal violence and then demand that society treat the perpetrator as the primary victim.

The real crime, in this father’s telling, is that the system failed to ratify the narrative of perpetual Black victimhood.

You’re still breathing, so is your son. You really need to shut up.

. “We did everything we were advised and told to do, and look what happened.”
.
So they were told it was o.k. to basically trespass then provoke a person and when the person uses reasonable physical contact to remove you from their presence take out a knife and stab them to death through the heart? Who the hell have they been listening to?

Recall back in the 90s some criminal talked about how religious their gang was, before every crime they would pray no one gets killed or caught and the deal go well.

The most surprising detail to come out of this ordeal is that someone knows who Karmelo’s father is.
