“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.”

HE WAS EVEN MORE “FREE” TO NEVER WALK TO THAT SIDE OF THE STADIUM IN THE FIRST PLACE.

[ronniesgal]

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

[Intro]
Is this the real life? Is this just fantasy?
Caught in a landslide, no escape from reality
Open your eyes, look up to the skies and see
I’m just a poor boy, I need no sympathy (Ooh, poor boy)
Because I’m easy come, easy go, little high, little low
Any way the wind blows (Ooh, the wind blows)
Doesn’t really matter to me, to me

[Verse 1]
Mama, just killed a man
Put a gun against his head, pulled my trigger, now he’s dead
Mama, life had just begun
But now I’ve gone and thrown it all away
Mama, ooh, didn’t mean to make you cry
If I’m not back again this time tomorrow
Carry on, carry on as if nothing really matters

[Verse 2]
Too late, my time has come
Sends shivers down my spine, body’s aching all the time
Goodbye, everybody, I’ve got to go
Gotta leave you all behind and face the truth
Mama, ooh (Any way the wind blows)
I don’t wanna die (Ooh)
I sometimes wish I’d never been born at all (Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)

[Verse 3]
I see a little silhouetto of a man
Scaramouche, Scaramouche, will you do the Fandango?
Thunderbolt and lightning, very, very frightening me
(Galileo) Galileo, (Galileo) Galileo, Galileo Figaro
Magnifico (Oh-oh-oh-oh)
But I’m just a poor boy, nobody loves me
He’s just a poor boy from a poor family
Spare him his life from this monstrosity
Easy come, easy go, will you let me go?
Bismillah, no, we will not let you go (Let him go)
Bismillah, we will not let you go (Let him go)
Bismillah, we will not let you go (Let me go)
Will not let you go (Let me go)
(Never, never, never, never, never, never let me go) Will not let you go
Oh-oh-oh-oh
No, no, no, no, no, no, no
Oh, mamma mia, mamma mia (Mamma mia, let me go)
Beelzebub has a devil put aside for me, for me, for me

[Bridge]
So you think you can stone me and spit in my eye?
So you think you can love me and leave me to die?
Oh, baby, can’t do this to me, baby
Just gotta get out, just gotta get right outta here
[Outro]
(Ooh)
(Ooh, yeah, ooh, yeah)
Nothing really matters, anyone can see
Nothing really matters
Nothing really matters to me
Any way the wind blows

I have no compassion for them. They taught their kid to hate Whitey.

[Jaded]

What are they smoking? And if that’s his mother... she looks like she started very very young.

“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.”

Such a 'cruel world' where someone doesn't get away with murdering someone in cold blood? Witnesses and evidence all confirmed it beyond a reasonable doubt.

The ones going through the cruel world are the Metcalfs who had a member of their family murdered. And these people and their supporters act like *they* are the victims. Look at this "Breakfast Club" host - poisoning the minds of their viewers with this garbage every day.

“We’re in a nightmare”, Austin Metcalf’s parents said.

[webheart]

He’s not talking about self defense or the trial or even the verdict. The nightmare is that the GiveSendGo money will not be coming their way.

[Republican Wildcat]

[technically right]

I could have sworn it was the Bee. These people are beyond redemption.

[Harmless Teddy Bear]

Yep.

That young man gets it.

[angry elephant]

They are in a nightmare because they spend all the Gofundme money on themselves and then it got shut down. They thought they had struck a lifetime of never ending funds.

[Bullish]

Stupid black trash, plain and simple.

[b4me]

Welcome to the nightmare you helped your son create.

[Bullish]

Really, when is stabbing someone to death a part of the law?

These are people who think it's a capital crime if they are dissed by whitey, and that they're entitled to carry out the execution. They can go to hell as far as I'm concerned.

[Republican Wildcat]

[Harmless Teddy Bear]

And those people DON'T get it.

The funny thing is that these are the same people who said in a four on one fight where the minor victim was pursued by armed men that he should have just "taken his beating"

Be consistent.

[Organic Panic]

““We did everything we were advised and told to do, and look what happened””

And your thug son, that you raised, killed a person.

[Wuli]

We have some good high character “minorities” among us, and I think as a demographic they are growing.
