Differences Between Kyle Rittenhouse and Karmelo Anthony Cases
AmmoLand ^ | April 15, 2025 | Dean Weingarten

Posted on 04/18/2025 6:33:05 AM PDT by marktwain

The following information was gleaned from the Frisco police reports written about the incident on the day it happened.

On April 2, 2025, two young men, Austin Metcalf of Frisco Memorial High School and Karmelo Anthony of Centennial High School were involved in an altercation.  The altercation reportedly took place at the Memorial High School Tent in the visitors bleachers at David Kuykendall Stadium, located between the two schools. It was about 10 A.M. and raining.

The two schools are about 7 miles apart in Frisco, north of Dallas, in the Dallas-Fort Worth metro area.

From a witness of the altercation, as recorded in the police report:

“Austin had told Anthony that he needed to move out from under their team’s tent and Anthony grabbed his bag, opened it and reached inside and proceeded to tell Austin, “Touch me and see what happens.” No one really though Anthony really had any weapons in his bag and Austin proceeded to touch Anthony and then Anthony told Austin to punch him and see what happens. A short time later, Austin grabbed Anthony to tell him to move and Anthony pulled out what (redacted) recalled as a black knife and stabbed Austin once in the chest and then ran away.

Karmelo Anthony was approached by School Resource Officer E. Cortez, on the track at the north end of the stadium, not far from the bleachers, shortly after the event. From the police report:

The suspect at this point was on the track on the north end. There was a chain link fence that separated me from the suspect. I gave the suspect instructions to keep his hands in the air. During this time, the suspect said verbally out loud, “I was protecting myself”. It should be noted that I had not questioned him about the incident

A tragic case. The use of deadly force does not seem justified.

Two young males full of testosterone.

Neither violence nor stupidity can be overcome.

The use of deadly force was definitely NOT justified. As if just getting bumped by someone in an elevate justifies you shooting them.

This stupid garbage re using other incidents; especially this one, re Kyle. It’s all over the net and ridiculous!

It wasn’t raining, and the quote is something Karmelo said much later while being interviewed by the policeman!

Lots of video of the Rittenhouse incident.

Where is the Anthony video?

Has anyone asked the murderer Why he went to the opposing tent’s tent instead if his own school’s?
Whopy did he have a knife hidden in back pack?
How did he get the knife in?

Kyle Rittenhouse was being chased by a man with a gun.

There is no comparison.

So why do you bring a knife to track meet

The father of Austin Metcalf, who was slain by Karmelo Anthony, was swatted last night in Texas

This occurred just hours after Karmelo’s “spokesman” disparaged Mr. Metcalf at a press conference

For some reason I think people seem to think this is less for murder because it was a knife

Follow the same scenario... If the kid proceeded to pull out a gun and shoot the other kid to kill would anybody think that was justified at that point?

If the force is justified, we would be hearing nonstop about what the victim did that justified Anthony’s actions. They’re not even playing the “he used a racial slur.“

Yep, and no common sense whatsoever. Austin evidently got the physical part going by deliberately grabbing Anthony. There was no reason for that whatsoever. If Anthony was in the wrong area, call a cop or a school official.

But then Anthony responded with wildly inappropriate force, as he was in no danger of death or great bodily injury.

Anthony is guilty of some lesser degree of murder.

Looking for trouble I'd say hoped to be able to use his knife on someone from the other school.

He could have just ran away without the stab.
It’s not like he was backed into a corner.

There is no end to the depravity of the left.
There is no LOW that the left cannot exceed.

There is no coexisting with the left.

No similarity at all.

None.

I think you are exactly right.
I hate that MSM is pushing the sekf defense story or at keast letting the Anthony family push it without asking any questions

According to the Anthony family, they only good thing to come out of all this is that Karmelo is getting a new car and his family is living in a new house. What is it in the black culture that makes them react this way? That’s not a racist question...it is a serious question as to why the black solution to conflict often is through violence.

This article uses the police reports filed the day of the incident.

The police got there quickly. It was raining, because they mentioned covering the knife with a tarp to protect evidence from the rain.

It is possible the rain started and stopped intermitently during the time of the incident.

The article lists several differences between the two incidents.
