A protester who was caught on video getting in another man's face outside the courthouse where Karmelo Anthony was sentenced for murder has been arrested.
A spokesperson for the Collin County Sheriff's Office confirmed to the Daily Mail that Winston Jerome Parker, 27, was taken into custody outside the courthouse on Tuesday for an outstanding warrant on a charge of unlawful carry of a weapon.
The alleged offense occurred in the parking lot of the courthouse last Saturday, the spokesperson noted.
Prison records show Parker was granted a $1,000 surety bond. It is unclear whether he has retained an attorney to speak on his behalf.
His arrest came just hours after he was filmed confronting a man and pointing in his face amid racially-charged protests outside the Collin County courthouse where Anthony, 19, was found guilty of murdering 17-year-old Austin Metcalf at a high school track meet last year.
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.

He was doing his best to get the White guy to push him, just as Karmelo did.

Black be nimble
black be quick.
Black be facing
a cop’s nightstick.*

A black teacher that was disqualified stated:
“This is close enough to home that I’m not confident that I could be completely fair.”
I was on jury duty not long ago, and people who answered question like that were immediately disqualified by the judge, not the attorneys. Same with the guy who said he would “have a hard time putting a brother in jail.” I guess Texas might be different, but here in Cali, you have to attest that you can be impartial, or you are disqualified by the judge.
Yes, during the jury selection for Karmelo Anthony’s murder trial in Collin County, Texas, all prospective Black jurors were dismissed by the prosecution, resulting in an all-white jury.
Incorrect. Karmelo Anthony's jury was not all white. It had no Black jurors, but multiple reports confirm the 12-person jury included racial minorities beyond white jurors.
Austin Metcalf’s father was just on Rob Schmitt. Heartbreaking.
Typical
“Incorrect. Karmelo Anthony’s jury was not all white.”
AI programs sometimes get things wrong. The main point, did potential jurors claim they wouldn’t convict “a brother” was correct.
Chimping out!
It wasn’t an all white jury. There were at least three different races on that jury.
It was murder, as per the court, not "a killing".
...of a white teenager by a black peer...
They were NOT peers. One is a murderer.
video: put that creature in a loin cloth, hand him a spear and it’d fit right in with the Zulus.... One can take em outta the jungle, but ya not gonna get the jungle outta them.....
There is a video of that somewhere in which someone dubbed in a song and it’s funny.
I’m socked when I look at that map!!
I expected Japan to fall in the greater than 105 level.
i see how this may play out
if the defense is successful on the jury selection issue
and a new trial is required
blacks will be on the jury
and it will be hung
More proof that AI shouldn't be taken as gospel. This is blatantly false.
LOL!
