Lies, Threats, and Misinformation: What the Media Won’t Tell You About the Karmelo Anthony Case

Date:

On a somber afternoon filled with emotion, Minister Dominique Alexander of the Next Generation Action Network (NGAN) took to the podium to set the record straight on behalf of the Anthony family, whose son, Karmelo Anthony, is at the center of a high-profile and racially charged case. What should have been a solemn moment to address public concerns and clarify facts instead revealed the deep undercurrents of political opportunism, racial animus, and targeted misinformation that have engulfed this tragedy.

“This is a disrespect to the dignity of this child,” Alexander opened, addressing the shocking presence of Austin Metcalf’s father at the press event. “He was not invited. He knows it’s inappropriate. And he did it anyway.”

Disinformation Campaign & Public Harassment

One of the central issues addressed was the widespread and deliberate misinformation campaign regarding the fundraising efforts for the Anthony family. Despite rumors and viral social media posts accusing the family of misusing donations—citing fake purchases of luxury items, private security, and an $800,000 home—Minister Alexander was unequivocal: “The family has not received a single dime from the GiveSendGo fundraiser. Not one.”

In fact, it wasn’t until the day before that the family was even given authorization to begin the withdrawal process—something that itself takes several days. In contrast, numerous fraudulent GoFundMe campaigns exploiting Karmelo’s name raised thousands without the family’s knowledge or approval. One such campaign amassed over $11,000 before being taken down at the family’s request.

The lies didn’t stop there. Alexander detailed the vitriolic and dangerous environment the family has endured: targeted doxxing, public harassment, death threats, and direct intimidation outside their home. “This is not just about Karmelo. It’s about a Black family who dared to stand up for their child and demand justice,” Alexander said.

Frisco ISD and Denial of Due Process

The Next Generation Action Network also revealed the latest blow: Frisco Independent School District intends to expel Karmelo Anthony just weeks before his scheduled high school graduation. With a 3.7 GPA, Carmelo is on track to graduate, even without further attendance. Yet the school district’s decision to push him out sends a clear and chilling message.

“This is not required by law—it is purely discretionary. They’re choosing punishment over process,” said Alexander. He challenged both media and school officials to explain why, given the severe weather that day, the school chose not to postpone the outdoor event where the tragic altercation occurred. “You couldn’t hold a track meet in that weather, but you held a school function?” he asked pointedly.

Legal Constraints and Public Judgment

Amid widespread speculation, Alexander made clear that the family cannot—and will not—speak about the events that occurred inside that tent. All individuals involved are minors, and under Texas law, details cannot be released. “We are legally prohibited from discussing the particulars. Stop asking us. No one has gotten it right,” he said, addressing the media’s constant inquiries.

This legal constraint hasn’t stopped online commentators and political operatives from pushing a narrative fueled by racial bias and ideological motives. One notable figure mentioned, Sarah Fields, has promoted disinformation to millions of followers, even posting the family’s private information. “This is the hate we’re up against,” said Alexander.

The Double Standard of Justice

Perhaps most powerfully, Alexander addressed the systemic hypocrisy Black Americans continue to face in the justice system. “If Kyle Rittenhouse can raise over $2 million and walk free after killing three people on camera, why can’t Karmelo Anthony, with no criminal history, be released on a $250,000 bond?” he asked. “This is about consistency in law, not opinion.”

He also defended Judge Angela Tucker, who has faced baseless attacks simply for upholding the law. “I’m a registered Democrat. She’s a longtime Republican. But calling her a leftist is just more of the political game being played on this child’s life,” said Alexander.

A Mother’s Plea

Kayla Hayes, Karmelo’s mother, bravely addressed the room with grace and pain. “We came to Texas for a better life,” she said. “We have lived by faith, raised our children with love, and believed in this country’s laws. But those laws must apply to all of us—not just some of us.”

She recounted how the online lies have upended their lives, forced her husband to take leave from work, and left their daughter too terrified to sleep alone. “Whatever you think happened, my other children and I don’t deserve to be threatened and harassed,” she said tearfully.

Final Statement Before Trial

Minister Alexander concluded with a powerful declaration: This will be the final public press conference on this matter until trial proceedings begin. Legal teams will handle the rest. He called for overwhelming community support for the Anthony family and urged the public not to be swayed by politically motivated misinformation.

“Black America doesn’t have to pull the race card—we live it. And what’s been done to this family proves that reality,” Alexander said. “The same people who talk about justice can’t be silent when that justice is denied to us.”

The press conference was not just a defense of one young man’s rights—it was a rallying cry against the forces of bigotry, deception, and institutional betrayal that still plague our society.

  1. This is racist garbage. There’s no “facts” here. Kid had zero reason to bring a knife to school, and its illegal to do so. The little monster will fry. His whole family are awful. They are loving the attention.

    • Yes, bringing a knife to school is against policy, but so is assuming guilt without a trial. The facts of this case include more than just the presence of a weapon. Witnesses say Karmelo Anthony was retrieving his belongings and was physically confronted. That’s not a justification—it’s context, and in any legal system worth respecting, context matters.

      Calling a 17-year-old a “monster” before due process has even played out, and attacking his entire family, says more about your bias than it does about the case. The Constitution doesn’t ask how you feel about a defendant—it requires the law to be applied fairly, whether you like the person or not.

      Justice doesn’t depend on your anger. It depends on facts, rights, and equal treatment under the law. If that offends you, the issue isn’t the article. It’s your view of justice.

        • If you say do and yet you’re still replying. So clearly, the real issue isn’t the tool being used, it’s that the answers challenge your assumptions.

          If the logic holds, if the facts are accurate, and if the argument is sound, it shouldn’t matter whether it came from a keyboard, a pen, or AI. What matters is the truth—and if that bothers you, maybe it’s not the technology you’re mad at. It’s the message.

          • Your facts are not facts, most of what you said isn’t even the story Anthony has given. Plus having a nife on school grounds is against the law, pretty basic if he didn’t have the knife the boy would nit have been stabed.

        • If you say so and yet you’re still replying. So clearly, the real issue isn’t the tool being used, it’s that the answers challenge your assumptions.

          If the logic holds, if the facts are accurate, and if the argument is sound, it shouldn’t matter whether it came from a keyboard, a pen, or AI. What matters is the truth—and if that bothers you, maybe it’s not the technology you’re mad at. It’s the message

      • Sir,
        You forgot that the spokesperson for the Anthony family has a huge criminal record and that he said “Killed 3 black people” in Kyle’s part in the speech. You’re rewriting a horrendous and disgusting speech that blamed everyone BUT the person who did it. To put your own racial ideals before justice is highly disturbing. If you can’t be honest with your public then you are no more than a race baiter.

        • Let’s address your points with honesty—since that’s what you’re demanding.

          Yes, the spokesperson has a past. So does our sitting President with 35 felony convictions. Are you suggesting that anyone with a record loses the right to speak on matters of justice? Or does that standard only apply when it suits your narrative?

          As for the speech—you conveniently ignore the core message: a call for due process, equal treatment, and the right for a 17-year-old to have his case heard in court, not tried by social media or public bias. Quoting a single line out of context while ignoring the broader point is intellectually dishonest.

          No one “blamed everyone BUT the person who did it.” Karmelo Anthony admitted involvement and claimed self-defense—both can be true until a court decides otherwise. That’s not race-baiting—that’s how the justice system works, whether you like the defendant or not.

          What’s truly disturbing is how quickly some are willing to dismiss principles like due process just to fuel outrage. Pointing out double standards isn’t putting “racial ideals before justice”—it’s demanding that justice remain consistent, regardless of race.

          If standing for constitutional rights makes me a “race baiter” in your eyes, then perhaps you’re more interested in labels than law.

          Let’s stick to facts—not personal attacks and selective outrage

          • CHATGPT must not have a filter that doesn’t allow you to use “whataboutism”, you preach equality and fairness, but are equally as guilty at being intellectually dishonest. Your moral high ground is a fake. It is clear that you are giving into the loud minority mob, instead of appealing to logic and objective reasoning. You have a framing issue.

          • First off Potus was accussed not convicted. 2nd Trump did not get any due process when the sham court cases happened.
            How can this case be self defense when Anthony is only one with weapon unless you consider words a weapon . Which clearly are not. The right thing Anthony should not have sat in Metcaf track team area

          • Brother, the kid was killed by a knife, by stabbing. Karmelo was the only person with a knife. There were witnesses in this issue. Metcalf’s brother saw the kid die in front of him. Bro you can’t deny what’s in front of your eyes. When police caught him he ADMITTED! You can’t be this blind! Why he did it is not relevant. He is not in the right. Just because some serial killer who killed 3 people raised 2 million dollars for a bond did that it still doesn’t make it right. Under no circumstances is this acceptable. He is claiming self defense because that’s what a lawyer told him could possibly lower his penalty. Damn kid killed the other boy without ever seeing him in his life as they went to different schools on the other side of town. Why would you go to a school sports event with a knife, and sit on the other team’s side? What was he trying to accomplish?

          • Yes, Karmelo admitted to the stabbing—no one is denying that. He also said it was self-defense, which is a legal defense, not an excuse. But the most critical fact remains: there hasn’t even been a grand jury indictment yet. No trial. No verdict. Yet people like you have already convicted him in the court of public opinion.

            Texas law under Penal Code §§ 9.31 and 9.32 allows for the use of force—and even deadly force—if someone reasonably believes it is necessary to prevent harm. The Stand Your Ground law in Texas means he had no duty to retreat if he wasn’t the aggressor and had a legal right to be there.

            We don’t know all the facts. That’s why we have a legal system. But instead of letting that process play out, some are more comfortable acting as judge, jury, and executioner—all based on a narrative, not the evidence. If you’re truly for justice, respect the law. If not, you’re not upholding justice—you’re distorting it.

          • Hell nah. Damon really brought up Trump in the issue and his 35 bs charges. I have seen it all. Man really said something in the lights of, “oh, so my murderer kid and his crooked defense attorney are accused of this, but what about the damn POTUS who did nothing comparable to stabbing a 17 year old. What a way of starting to talk about honesty while being really dishonest.

          • If you actually read the article—without emotion or bias—you’d see that the point about the family’s representative having a record was raised by critics. My response was simple and factual: so does the President of the United States, with 34 felony convictions. That comparison wasn’t about the incident; it was about calling out hypocrisy. If a record disqualifies someone from speaking, let’s be consistent with that energy.

        • Let’s not forget that President Trump, who represents millions of Americans, carries 35 felony indictments and still speaks freely on national platforms. Attacking the Anthony family’s spokesperson for his past while ignoring this reality exposes a clear double standard. A criminal record doesn’t strip anyone—whether a president or a family advocate—of their right to speak or demand due process.

          The focus should be on ensuring justice, not rushing to judgment or twisting words out of context. Highlighting double standards in media narratives and calling for transparency isn’t “race baiting”—it’s holding the system accountable. Justice isn’t served by personal attacks or public outrage; it’s served when facts—not bias—determine outcomes. If that makes you uncomfortable, the issue isn’t with me—it’s with your understanding of fairness.

        • So he should not be expelled for bringing a knife to school? What due process is needed by the school? He brought the knife, he gets expelled. Simple.

          Your writing is so obviously bias is cringe worthy. You are choosing a side based on your own race and that removes almost any merit you may have had before.

      • People always find a way to bring Trump into arguments that have nothing to do with him.. The Trump Derangement Syndrome is real! 🤣 This reporting is completely biased. Notice they only speak about the fake “victim,” and you don’t hear a single thing about the actual victim who was murdered. People aren’t going to continue falling for these race baiting victim narratives, it’s ridiculous. Stop it, do better

        • This isn’t about “bringing Trump into everything.” It’s about exposing the double standards that people conveniently ignore. If you’re eager to attack the family’s representative for having a criminal record, my point is so does our current President. If having a record disqualifies someone from speaking or seeking fairness, then let’s be consistent across the board.

          The real issue here is how quickly some are willing to dismiss due process when the accused is a Black teenager, while defending those same legal rights in other cases. That kind of selective justice isn’t just hypocrisy—it’s a threat to the integrity of the system itself.

          As for accusations of “bias,” the article points out exactly how misinformation, prejudice, and emotion are driving public opinion long before any facts are established in court. No one is denying that a life was lost—that is a tragedy. But tragedy doesn’t eliminate the right to a fair process.

          Calling for consistent justice isn’t race-baiting—it’s common sense. If fairness makes you uncomfortable, the problem isn’t with the call for justice. It’s with the lens you’re choosing to view it through

      • Damon k jones is a lying pos hopefully the entire trash Anthony family get what’s coming to them. Can’t wait till Karmelo is raped and murdered in prison.

        • Your comment isn’t just disgusting—it’s proof of your ignorance. You didn’t offer a fact. You didn’t offer an argument. You offered a fantasy of violence against a teenager who hasn’t even had a trial. That’s not justice. That’s barbarism.

      • You’re a fucking idiot buddy do you even read back the shit you write? You’re trying to justify and even victimize a kid who stabbed another because he’s the same color as you. Guess what he is a monster and if it had been a white kid who stabbed a black kid in cold blood he would be a monster as well.

        • You’re quick to throw around insults, but slow to acknowledge basic facts. No one said Karmelo Anthony shouldn’t be held accountable if the evidence warrants it. What we’ve said—repeatedly—is that guilt is determined by a courtroom, not a comment section. And despite all your outrage, here’s what you’re ignoring:

          There has been no grand jury hearing, no indictment, and certainly no trial. All you’re citing is a police report—which, for the record, is not a substitute for evidence tested in court. In America, we have a legal system for a reason. It’s called due process. Maybe you’ve heard of it.

          And yes, Anthony admitted involvement—but he also claimed self-defense, a legal right protected under Texas Penal Code 9.31 and 9.32. That’s what this case is about: whether that defense holds up under scrutiny, not your emotional interpretation of guilt.

          You accuse others of bias, but overlook your own. You’re ready to convict a 17-year-old without the full facts, and you call it “truth.” That’s not justice—that’s mob thinking. If you cared about facts, you’d wait for the legal process to play out.

      • So let’s break down the argument.

        1. Karmelo anthony was suspended from school for having a knife at school prior to the event.

        2. Karmelo being suspended means he isn’t eligible in taking part in the schools event.

        3. Karmelo went to Centennial high while austin went to memorial high. So that defeats the narrative that austin n his brother had a history of bullying karmelo.

        4. Why was karmelo sitting under austin schools tent and not his? Without justifiable cause wouldn’t be self defense under the texas laws self defense (penal codes section 9.31-9.33) because he’s in a place he shouldn’t be. Because its raining? The weather that day was misty not raining pouring.so the weather is a poor excuse.

        5. Austin asked karmelo to move because he was in the wrong tent. Karmelo refused which under the same penal codes could potentially work. Against his self defense claim. Since it was an.oppurtunity to diffuse the situation and remove himself from any threats. Which questions if there’s any intent now.

        6. Karmelo then says to austin to touch me and see what happens which is typically considered provoking. Therefore you cant claim.self defense whether austin touched him. It was invited though I dint agree with still touching him. But self defense claims isn’t supporting in this situation.

        7. During a back and fourth between austin and karmelo dlaruing in disagreement. Karmelo disengaged with austin and grabbed his bag and reinitiated the back and fourth as karm e lo stated punch me and see what happens aa he digs in his bag which we ultimately find out is a knife in.which he stabs austin in the chest around the heart.
        ( Mind you this idea austin pursued karmelo doesn’t line up with any of the information of the ppl who were interviewed that was there.) And the fact karmelo had a chance to leave but re-engaged woth sustin again self defense in that situation falls apart.

        8. Karmelo then ran and discarded the knife. You cant coaim.self defense if you tried to flee the scene of the crime. On top of that having a knife at a school event is against school policies. Even if the park was public it was still a school event amongst several schools. So during the schools activity its still under school rules. Those are the facts.

        When austin metcalfs dad went to the presser he was asked to leave. Did he refuse? No he left when they asked. If you think that was the right thing to do then how isn’t you cant apply that logic to this situation.

        I understand where you coming from. But regardless there’s no justification to stabbing an unarmed person when self defense requires you to use equal or lesser force. And to say karmelo was attacked when there’s. I evidence of any physical bruising of any kind on karmelo.

        I wpuld be surprised of he doesn’t get premeditated murder

        • Thank you for taking the time to lay out your argument in detail. Now let’s walk through it—with clarity, law, and logic—because that’s what the conversation requires, not emotion or presumption.

          First, you claim to know the facts, yet you’re building a full prosecution without one critical component: a grand jury indictment has not even been issued. No sworn testimony, no cross-examination, no full record. What you’re referencing is an arrest affidavit, which is not the final word—it’s the beginning of a process, not the conclusion. You’re skipping from accusation to conviction without due process, which is precisely the problem being raised in the original article.

          Second, your argument rests heavily on Karmelo’s suspension and tent location. But school discipline—while relevant—is not criminal evidence. Being suspended doesn’t automatically eliminate one’s right to self-defense under Texas law. Penal Code 9.31 clearly states that a person is justified in using force if they reasonably believe it’s necessary to prevent imminent harm. The location might be against school policy, but school rules aren’t legal statutes. A violation of a rule doesn’t erase your right to defend yourself if a threat is perceived.

          Third, you argue that Karmelo provoked the incident by saying, “Touch me and see what happens.” That’s not ideal language—but words alone don’t eliminate your right to self-defense under Texas law. There must be a clear act of provocation that rises to the level of forfeiting legal protection. This is exactly the kind of gray area courts—not comment sections—exist to analyze.

          Fourth, you suggest he had no injuries and therefore couldn’t have been threatened. But Texas law doesn’t require you to wait until you’re injured to defend yourself—it requires a reasonable belief of imminent harm. Whether his fear was reasonable or not is for a jury to decide—not the public, and certainly not based solely on an arrest report or social media speculation.

          Fifth, discarding the knife and running doesn’t disprove self-defense. People—especially 17-year-olds—panic. That’s not uncommon. That may raise questions about consciousness of guilt, but it doesn’t erase the right to claim self-defense. Again, that’s for the courts to examine.

          And finally, you claim the press conference removal of Metcalf’s father was “polite” and should be a model for Karmelo’s behavior. With respect, that’s a false equivalency. One was an adult removed from a press event not meant for him; the other is a teenager caught in a moment of fear, adrenaline, and confusion. You can’t compare a controlled public setting with a sudden, emotionally charged confrontation and pretend they carry the same expectations.

          You may be confident in your verdict, but the courts haven’t spoken. Until they do, Karmelo Anthony, like every citizen, is presumed innocent—and your certainty in his guilt before any legal judgment is a bigger threat to justice than any press conference or social media post.

          Let the law work. If we care about justice, we wait for the facts to be tested—not just accepted.

    • It shows your truth on whom you are as a individual speaking without facts karmelo didn’t have a knife at a school function Austin wasn’t stabbed with a knife so stop believing what u here on social media but never mind the fact that if karmelo wasn’t approached by someone who had the right to tell him to leave this never would have happened

      • You need to watch the trial and then respond to this utterly oblivious comment.
        He had a knife
        He instigated the confrontation
        He murdered a kid
        The end.
        Witnesses nuke your bias take.

        • What you’re offering isn’t a legal analysis—it’s a verdict from someone who’s decided to play judge, jury, and executioner without understanding how the system actually works.

          There hasn’t been an official investigation concluded, no grand jury decision, and certainly no trial. What planet are you living on? Or are you stuck in some multiverse where the trial already happened and you got a front-row seat?

          Yes, he had a knife—that’s established. But there are conflicting witness statements, claims of self-defense, and clear constitutional concerns, like the fact that he was never Mirandized before making statements. Those aren’t technicalities—they’re legal rights that apply whether you like the defendant or not.

          Saying he “murdered a man” without a ruling from a judge or jury doesn’t make you informed—it makes you ignorant of how justice works. Bias isn’t pointing out double standards. Bias is declaring guilt before a courtroom has even seen the evidence.

          Let the process play out. That’s how justice is supposed to work—at least in this universe

          • There isn’t conflicting witness statements. There’s fake witness statements that are being judged as valid that contradict the real witness statements, and the police report that was published. You are in denial, you are a charlatan, and you are a race-grifter.

          • You brought in Trump? Trump lost a civil suit for rape, yet no witnesses, no evidence, yet I’m sure you still call him a rapist. Then you talk about double standards.

          • There’s no conflicting witness statements. Its only a statement made by an activist on Twitter that alot of bigoted black ppl believed not bevause the facts and evidence says so but the fact is its only an issue bevause austin is white. The sane black ppl dint contribute to the discussion of what plagues the black community.

            Saying we acknowledge he has a knife then making excuses as to what can judge when you are doing the sanething by feeding the phony narrative.

            The fact he was there and had a knife when he wasnt suppose to be already works against any self defense claim sure if austin ain’t approach karmelo he would still be alive but the sane can be said if karmelo didn’t appear in the yent of another schools in the first place

      • Witnesses stated that dude was in the tent and told to leave . Race baitors came up with that statement he was after his stuff . The police report states everything the witnesses said . And that was not in there . The boy killed him he won’t fry and he won’t get life . He will get 10 years for manslaughter reduced on time served for house arrest and good behavior he will sit 1-5 years .. it wasn’t self defense . Ordinary force and deadly force are in question . There was no bullying .it wasn’t both brothers . That’s all made up shit . And yes the family did use those funds on cars and such . They got a credit based on what’s available to them and the father works at a dealership . The amended their fundraiser so they could move away to avoid the press not threats .. there are no credible threats it’s a gated community no one has been stalking their home . And yes karmello used a BLACK FOLDABLE KNIFE.which was photographed at the scene by one of the officers .

      • Bs he did have a knife he did stab and nurder a 17 year old Metcaf young man by stabbing him in the heart. The metcaf boy did not have a weapon. This was done on school grounds during school event the anthony kid should be expelled from school just for bringing a knife. Could have been a gun.

      • “Teach your kids to not be bullies” Karmelo didn’t know the Metcalfs. They had never crossed paths before. There wasn’t any proven grounds of bullying at any point before this incident. What we know is that Austin Metcalf told Anthony not to sit in their area. Even if he was disrespectful at it, even if he told him to get the f out of there or something, that does not justify getting stabbed over it. Teach your children not to bully? Well Courtney, teach your children not to stab others and we will be golden.

    • What a joke. Biased news reporting is a the fall of society. This dude can’t even type it himself, needs AI to spew his Bullshit.

      • Funny—you’re complaining about bias while clearly upset that the article didn’t cater to yours.

        If you actually read it, you’d realize it’s based on facts, legal principles, and equal treatment under the law—something that seems to offend you more than misinformation does. And as for AI? I’ve written more with substance in one piece than most of these comment critics contribute in their lifetime.

        But hey, if calling it “bullshit” is easier than addressing the actual points, I get it—not everyone’s built for real discussion.

    • He had just been booted from school right before the incident for bringing a knife to school!!! Teachers said he has anger issues. He skipped school to be at that track meet. Why would you bring a knife to a school function, then sit in the other school’s tent??
      Have you seen the video of Karmello stomping on a kids head during a basketball game???

    • There is no double standard here.

      Kyle Rittenhouse was attacked with a gun, and he responded with a gun, thats what the whole self defense case was built upon proving.

      Ive seen people bring up the Daniel Penny case – I’m not sure where you’re from but I promise you if you go to New York, especially in the more dangerous neighborhoods, and ask people their opinions on the case… there is overwhelming support for Penny, despite race. Not sure how often you’ve been on a subway but people are fed up with the slue of unhinged attacks by crackheads. If you watch eyewitness testimony from the scene, majority of those interviewed are black men and women – all of which express gratitude for Penny’s heroic actions. There was a crackhead acting aggressive and he was subdued with an equal amount of force. I promise you it is frightening people around the unhinged on a subway, they haggle you, touch you, and hit, they are actives threats and every single witness on that train is a testament to that.

      I don’t know what kind of man you are, I don’t know you and I’ve never met you. But as a man, I have gotten in physical altercations before, I was raised by my father to know how to fight, fighting is in our nature. But something more important that I was taught as a man was respect and honor. If someone hits me, I will respond by hitting them back. I have never started a fight in my life, but if someone has ticked me off enough to, I should be able to fight them like a man without fearing that I’ll be killed. And equally, I would never bring a knife, or a gun, or any sort of weapon that could actually take another’s life. No matter how much hate I have for someone, I could never rightfully take their life unless mine was threatened first, and a fist fight is just not a threat on life.

  2. If he was so brilliant what was he doing in the opposing team’s tent with a knife at a track meet? He plays football too and don’t think he’d go sit on the other team’s bench or in the their dugout in baseball

    • Go read the information for yourself. Educate your ignorance… all the information is there for the taking. He was instructed to go inside the tent by a coach…. AN ADULT due to the rain!

      • This is a lie. he was not instructed to enter that tent. And what does that even matter? If you’re asked to leave, a natural response would be to stab someone in the heart.

      • no hell he was not….everybody and anybody knows you never go sit under or on someone else’s team tent, dugout, or bench. Why? Because people keep their personal belongings in there. So ask yourself why was he in there with a knife. Maybe to try and loot, which you guys love to do at every given chance. Your page is nothing but pure racist propaganda. It could not be more blatant. Well guess what, we white people have had enough of you killing us and we will Stand and fight for Austin. Say his name. AUSTIN METCALF!!

        • “To loot . . . Which you guys like to do.” Then you have the audacity to call someone racist? Truly mind boggling. You possess one very high level of cognitive dissonance, racist.

  3. lol what a joke this article is. You mean it’s now controversial that a student gets expelled for bringing a knife to a school event? That’s the whole case. Case closed. Shouldn’t have never had the knife on school property. Wow. You’re going to defend that? Fuck your activism. You are part of the reason the country becomes more divided each day. What’s next? Are we going to blame the school for not canceling the event due to the weather? Oh wait.

    • If the entire case were as simple as “he brought a knife, case closed,” we wouldn’t need courts, laws, or a justice system. But fortunately, in America, we don’t lock people up—or ruin their lives—based on headlines and assumptions. We examine context, intent, and whether their constitutional rights were respected.

      What you call “activism” is actually asking that we apply the same standard to everyone. Because there’s another student—white, also in Texas—who brought a knife to school, killed someone, claimed self-defense, and was neither overcharged nor expelled before trial. That’s the double standard being exposed.

      No one is excusing violence. But if we’re going to talk about responsibility, let’s also hold institutions accountable for fairness, transparency, and following due process—not just handing out punishment based on public pressure.

      If that offends you more than unequal treatment under the law, then maybe the issue isn’t activism—it’s selective outrage.

      • When I was in school I had an expulsion hearing for smoking a little weed on campus.Kids can stab each other and we shouldn’t expel them? Damn times have changed…

      • Man this whole thing is terrible exactly what the media wants and idk who that preacher who ever they had quotes I read but man don’t bring up the nonsense of Kyle Rittenhouse and just yea… so sad.. I hope one day it’ll change. I have black friends and I have white friends and yea it’s different opinions. I don’t know what happened that day/night not sure, but I’m willing to bet they had a history or interactions in the past, but to stab someone like that idk… why not just throw hands? But yea terrible all around. I wish the internet wasn’t around because these comments are awful. Why is there so much hate in the world?

        • I hear you—and you’re right about one thing: this entire situation is terrible. A young life was lost, another may be permanently altered, and the internet has turned it into a battleground of opinions instead of a place for real understanding. That alone should humble all of us.

          But the mention of Kyle Rittenhouse—or Caysen Allison—isn’t “nonsense.” It’s not about comparing tragedies, it’s about comparing how justice is applied. The law should function the same regardless of who’s on trial, and sadly, we’ve seen too many cases where it doesn’t. That’s not race-baiting. That’s asking the system to live up to its own standards.

          As for what happened that day—we don’t have all the facts yet, and that’s why we have courts, not comment sections. But rushing to judgment without due process only adds to the chaos and division we all say we want to heal.

          You’re right to ask, “Why is there so much hate?” And the answer may be: because we’ve stopped listening and started reacting. Let’s change that.

          • I can agree with a portion of your reply back to Dustin. Yes – This entire situation is tragic!! I believe this wasn’t about race to begin with. Unfortunately the public has changed that. Both sides are making this into a race situation and politicizing it. But I’ve definitely seen more black racism towards whites, all you have to do is read the comments on Give-send-go for the Anthony Family. Main stream media is normally the worst but for this case, social media & YouTubers is hands down going to cause a race war with their bias views and misinformation they are posting.

            Facts of the case: Anthony stabbed Metcalf with a knife. Was it self defense?
            What I call white noise is—was he supposed to be under the tent? What the weather was at that time? Anthony skipped school that day. Not important in my opinion.

            What will be determined in a court of law will be if this is falls under “self defense”?
            People need to read up on the Texas Penal Code 9.31 & 9.32.
            Plus using self defense and deadly force requires certain criteria to be met. The use of deadly force must be reasonable and proportionate to the threat.

            You bring up Kyle Rittenhouse, his bail was set at $2 Million vs the $1 Million for Anthony. Regardless, each person has a right to bail. I have not researched Wisconsin’s laws for the use of deadly force but for the case of Rittenhouse, his lawyers were able to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that he had a case of self defense with the use of deadly force. Video’s clearly shows he was retreating and how deadly force was being applied against him. Not sure how you’re comparing how justice is applied. Anthony has gone to trial yet.

          • Thank you for sharing your perspective thoughtfully and with a level-headed approach—something that’s been sorely missing in much of the public discourse around this case.

            You’re absolutely right that this entire situation is a tragedy for both families involved. The loss of a young life is devastating, and another young person’s future is now hanging in the balance. And yes, you’re also correct that the court will ultimately determine whether the facts meet the legal standard for self-defense under Texas Penal Codes 9.31 and 9.32. That’s how our justice system is supposed to work.

            Where I think we both agree is that too many people—on all sides—have rushed to judgment and politicized the case before we even have a grand jury indictment. That includes bad-faith actors on social media, YouTubers, and even some media outlets more interested in engagement than accuracy. Unfortunately, that’s the reality of our current media environment, where the loudest voices often overpower the most responsible ones.

            I do want to clarify one important point: the mention of Kyle Rittenhouse, or others like Caysen Allison, isn’t meant to say the cases are identical in fact—but rather to highlight how differently the justice system and public narrative can operate depending on the race of the defendant and victim. The question isn’t whether Rittenhouse had a case for self-defense—that was adjudicated. The question is why someone like Anthony, who also claims self-defense and has not yet had his day in court, is treated as guilty from the outset by public perception.

            Finally, regarding the comments you mentioned on GiveSendGo—yes, racism cuts both ways. But racism from or toward any group should be condemned. What we cannot do is pretend that calling out systemic disparities is somehow the same thing as “reverse racism.” Accountability must remain focused on institutions and unequal outcomes, not individual tit-for-tat hostility.

            I appreciate that you took the time to engage respectfully. Let’s hope more people follow that lead, and that justice is allowed to work based on facts—not feelings or agendas.

      • You didn’t seriously type this with a straight face? “…not just handing out punishment based on public pressure.”

        Now do the Derek Chauvin case…

      • Law is no weapons on any campass . It could have been a gun . It could have been many lives. There is no excuse he needs to face expolsion from school. Then have a trail for the death of Austin Metcalf .

      • How was that racially biased? No mention of skin color was mentioned whatsoever. SybieLV laid out facts, and instead of counterarguing those facts, you state it’s a racial remark? That response lacks any type of rational thought and would be jumping with joy if the shoe was on the other foot.

  4. This is sad. The schools decision to expell Karmelo after he STABBED ANOTHER STUDENT TO DEATH sends a “chilling” message??? If Karmelo was the victim and a white student stabbed him, would you still consider that unjust? You can try and twist the narrative as much as you want, but most Americans see this for what it is: a tragedy that has nothing to do with the race of the victim or anyone else. Twitter is blowing up with African-Americans that are literally ashamed of those that are blindly defending someone just because of their race and trying to distort the reality of what happened, a vain attempt to paint the perpetrator as the real victim just because they might be facing the consequences that tend to come with the act of murdering someone.

    • et’s clear a few things up—because your comment confuses holding institutions accountable with excusing violence.

      No one is saying this wasn’t a tragedy. A young man lost his life, and another’s future now hangs in the balance. That deserves seriousness—not knee-jerk assumptions. But expelling a student before an investigation is complete or a trial is held isn’t justice—it’s reactionary. It sends a message that due process doesn’t apply if public outrage gets loud enough.

      If the roles were reversed—yes, I would absolutely be raising the same concerns if a Black student stabbed a white student under similar circumstances and was denied fair treatment, overcharged, and vilified before the facts were weighed. That’s what equal protection means. You don’t get to pick when the Constitution applies.

      And no—people aren’t defending Karmelo Anthony “just because of race.” They’re pointing out disparities in how similar cases are treated when the defendant isn’t Black. Like Caysen Allison, the white student who also fatally stabbed a classmate, claimed self-defense, and got a lower bond—even after being arrested again.

      This isn’t about twisting the narrative. It’s about making sure all narratives are held to the same standard. That’s not distortion—that’s accountability.

      • I couldn’t even get jobs when I was out on bail for my charges even though they shouldn’t have even showed up, so let’s get real, the school isn’t going to let him stay in school when he is literally out on bail for murder and it’s everywhere. Stop. It’s common sense. It would be a shit show.

        • I get where you’re coming from—being out on bail comes with real challenges, no question. But that’s exactly why we shouldn’t accept “it’s just common sense” as a reason to deny someone due process or fairness.

          No one’s saying the situation isn’t complicated for the school—but policies should be applied consistently. There are cases where students charged with serious crimes, including white students like Caysen Allison, weren’t immediately expelled before their day in court.

          It’s not about pretending there wouldn’t be backlash—it’s about asking why some defendants get the benefit of procedure and others get public punishment before a verdict. If we normalize that, then “common sense” becomes an excuse for selective justice.

          You’ve felt how the system can be unforgiving. That’s exactly why conversations like this matter—not to excuse anyone, but to demand fairness across the board.

      • Ok, the jokes you type are hilarious – “..And no—people aren’t defending Karmelo Anthony “just because of race.”

        Read the comments by the Anonymous Givers on GiveSendGo. You’ll see the overt racism spewed by those supporting this alleged murderer financially and immorally.

      • The school has every right to expel Anthony. For what I have read, Anthony was previously caught with a knife at school. So on this particular day, again, had a knife at a school event. School isn’t expelling him due to the act of stabbing but for not following school policies about weapons on campus or school events.

    • What you’re expressing isn’t justice—it’s vengeance fueled by emotion, not evidence.

      Karmelo Anthony hasn’t even had a trial. He hasn’t presented a defense. And yet you’re ready to throw away his life based on headlines and assumptions. That’s not how the justice system is supposed to work—for anyone.

      If we’re going to demand accountability, it starts with applying the law fairly and letting the courts weigh the facts—not social media. Innocent until proven guilty is not a courtesy—it’s a constitutional right. And it applies to everyone, even if their name doesn’t fit your comfort zone.

      And I sincerely hope you’re saying the same thing about the white teenager currently on trial for stabbing and killing a classmate too. Otherwise, your outrage isn’t about justice—it’s about who’s on trial.

  5. Mad respect to all my black brothers and sisters in the comments, preaching the truth and cutting through the B.S.

  6. Kyle Rittenhouse was at a gas station he was ASKED to be at, to protect it; during riots for another life long felon and absolute dredge of society. He was hit in the head with a skateboard, shot at, and after retreating, finally defended himself. This little thug brought a knife to a school function and sought out trouble. Real question; are the people defending him not playing with a full deck of cards? Clearly the spokesperson they chose is a race baiting, low IQ moron himself (with an impressive rap sheet of his own). I mean the few citizens that are blindly thinking the murderer is somehow a victim, are they… “ok”?

    • Your passion is noted, but your facts—and your framing—are deeply flawed.

      First, Kyle Rittenhouse wasn’t defending his own property. He crossed state lines with an AR-15 to insert himself into a volatile situation. The courts evaluated his self-defense claim, and regardless of the outcome, it doesn’t give anyone a monopoly on the definition of justified force—especially when comparing cases with different facts, different laws, and different contexts.

      Second, Karmelo Anthony didn’t “bring a knife looking for trouble.” According to police reports and multiple witness statements, he was retrieving his belongings when he was physically confronted. That matters. So do the legal violations—like being questioned without a Miranda warning—especially when you’re 17 and have no criminal history.

      Third, attacking people’s intelligence and tossing around personal insults does nothing to strengthen your case. It just exposes the emotional bias in your argument. If you believe in law and order, then let due process happen. That applies to everyone—white, Black, guilty, or innocent.

      Because when justice only matters for some, it’s not justice at all. It’s favoritism wrapped in outrage.

      • I agree, with you here, Rittenhouse is a totally different situation, the spokesman with a long record, lied about him as well, he never shot anyone in the back! Going to a tent, didn’t mean another schools, he could have gone to his schools tent! Instead being kicked of of school for having the knife, that morning, which means he is not to go to school functions, when suspended! Which makes that of trespassing when suspended. Then went to the other teams tent, asked a few times to leave, and then he provoked the victim, daring him to touch him, and then said touch me, you will see what happens! That phrase right there was premeditated! Per police report Anthony already got in his bag and had the knife, when provoking. Anthony is not the Victim here, Austin is the Victim! Period. Playing the public with the speech and want people to feel sorry for the boys family, is a complete game to play. If they are well off already, why extort funds from the public with fund raiser, saying they need help to put food on the table, that is deceiving the public. The spokesman only had racist comment to say, which is not helping the family. They have no reason to be scared, living in a gated community. Pretty comical. YOU PEOPLE HAVE NOT SAID ONE THING ABOUT THE REAL VICTIM IN YOUR WRITE UP! How people really are calling and harassing them, saying they are going to kill his other son, how it’s all his sons fault he is dead! You really can’t make this shit up! You are one sided in your article, you don’t care about facts, you just wanted some attention in a tragedy too. If the boy was scared of the twins, you wouldn’t sit under their tent, you would go to your own school. He knew what he was going to do, by provoking. Many witnesses have stated they didn’t attack Anthony. Asked him to leave, then when he refused, he touched his shoulder maybe walk him away. And he was stabbed. And ran! No self defense as he ran, police found the knife, all these idiots saying he didn’t have a knife, educate yourselves. Read police report! The twin wasn’t attacking him either with his back turned, as he turned around he was catching his brother. So there again, you all are making shit up. Since Anthony has a record of fighting with others per one of his friends, but never thought he would do something like that. Shows he knew what he was doing to get something going. Premeditated! Color has nothing to do with this, but many have made it color! Spokesman made it color, no one has said he doesn’t deserve due process, that’s the stepmother acting as a victim, which is pretty disgusting! The father is a Christian man, has forgave Anthony. But sick of the lies. I don’t blame him. He had every right to the speech, public was invited. Maybe he was there to talk to the parents and you never gave him a chance! But the thug types saying they will kill his other son. That’s a problem and sad, you all would treat another human being this way. Black, white, purple, he has been forgiving. We are all the same. All humans!!! Some just aren’t educated to get that. They don’t even let that family grieve in peace, he has stated its not a race thing. Only the Anthony family has made it a race thing. That’s the fact. You sir, have only talked about the boy that admitted killing Austin. So thats how we say he is guilty, he admitted it. Next time you write a piece and want to be the neutral one, maybe have facts before you even try!

        • There’s a lot to unpack here, so let’s stick to facts—not feelings, assumptions, or misinformation.

          First, no one in my article denied that Austin Metcalf is a victim. A life was lost, and that is tragic. But acknowledging tragedy does not mean abandoning due process or blindly accepting one version of events before a court weighs the facts. Justice applies to both families—whether public opinion agrees or not.

          Second, much of what you’re repeating is allegation, not proven fact. Police reports are accusations, not verdicts. Witness statements conflict, which is exactly why cases go to trial. This idea that a phrase like “touch me and see what happens” equals premeditation shows a misunderstanding of both law and human behavior—especially in a heated moment between teenagers.

          Third, the claim about a fundraiser is completely false. There was no GoFundMe set up by Karmelo Anthony’s family. Spreading that misinformation only distracts from legitimate conversations about fairness and accountability.

          Now, let’s address the core issue—you say “color has nothing to do with this,” but ignore the fact that similar cases involving white defendants have been treated differently by both the system and the public. Pointing out disparities isn’t “making it about race”—it’s demanding that justice be applied equally.

          Karmelo Anthony admitted involvement, yes—but he also stated it was self-defense. That’s a legal defense recognized in every state, including Texas. Whether you believe it or not is irrelevant—what matters is whether the evidence supports it in court, not in social media threads.

          As for your comments about “thug types” and blaming a spokesperson—you’re projecting isolated bad behavior onto an entire family and community, while excusing public speeches that further inflamed tensions. Both families deserve peace, but that starts with facts, not finger-pointing.

          Finally, accusing me of seeking attention in a tragedy ignores the purpose of the article: to highlight how justice must be consistent—no matter who’s involved. That includes respecting due process, avoiding trial by public opinion, and rejecting misinformation.

          You say we’re all human? Then let’s act like it—and let the legal system do its job without fueling it with bias and baseless narratives.

        • Thank you. This is the take for the vast majority, given what the kid said before he was arrested and his Miranda Rights kicked in…

          • The vast majority? Please speak for yourself, and not everyone else unless you’ve done extensive research!

    • Oh, of course. Because one Black teen in a complex legal case must represent an entire race, right? Clearly, you missed the part of the article that also covered the white student—Caysen Allison—who fatally stabbed someone too, claimed self-defense, and got a much lower bond even after a second arrest.

      But sure, tell me more about how only Black men “don’t take responsibility.” That’s not justice you’re promoting—it’s just selective outrage with a familiar bias. Thanks for the comment.

    • Statements like yours reveal why conversations about justice and equal treatment are still necessary. You’ve already declared guilt before a trial has even begun, ignoring due process—the foundation of our legal system.

      Worse, your comment leans on a tired racial stereotype that equates Blackness with criminality. That’s not justice. That’s prejudice disguised as humor.

      This case isn’t about excuses. It’s about consistency. If you believe in law and order, then that means allowing the process to play out fairly—regardless of the defendant’s skin color. Otherwise, you’re not upholding justice. You’re upholding a double standard and ignorance. Thanks for your comment.

  7. The only racism here is the BS article and anyone defending him. He murdered someone. Period. No one made this about race until his own culture started defending him. “He a good boy! He ain’t hurt nobody! What dey did him like dat! My baby!” Makes me sick.

    • The emotional outburst in your comment reveals more about your bias than the facts of the case.

      First, no one is denying that a young man lost his life—and that is a tragedy. But tragedy does not override the Constitution. Karmelo Anthony, like every American citizen, is entitled to due process. That means his rights must be respected, the evidence must be weighed in court, and guilt must be determined lawfully—not in the comment section of social media.

      Second, the article isn’t defending violence. It is pointing out unequal treatment under the law. When white defendants—charged with the same crime—receive lower bonds, less media condemnation, and continued public sympathy, while Black teens are instantly vilified and overcharged, that’s not an “excuse.” It’s a factual pattern with legal and social implications.

      Third, calling legitimate legal advocacy “racism” while mocking how Black families grieve is exactly the kind of double standard this piece exposes. Justice is not justice when it changes based on the skin color of the accused.

      This case should be decided by evidence, not emotion—and especially not by racial stereotypes disguised as moral outrage. Thank you for your comment.

    • No—what’s actually sick is pretending your racism isn’t showing while mocking how grieving Black families speak. That caricature says everything about your mindset and nothing about this case.

      Karmelo Anthony hasn’t even been indicted. There’s been no grand jury, no trial, and no ruling on the facts—just your emotional declaration of guilt based on a police report, not evidence tested in court. If you actually believed in law and order, you’d let due process happen before handing out life sentences on the internet.

      And yes—race matters here, because similar cases involving white defendants haven’t been met with the same overcharging, media demonization, or $1 million bond. That’s not “his culture making it about race.” That’s pointing out a pattern that’s been real for decades.

      You’re not defending justice. You’re defending your comfort with a system that works differently depending on who’s in the courtroom. And that—whether you admit it or not—is the definition of bias

  8. You spelled Melo’s name incorrectly in the sixth paragraph… and then I stopped reading. You should really do your research on who Dominique Alexander really is, because whatever he’s “ministering”, I ain’t trying to receive the message. He will destroy this for that boy. Making this about race was the worst thing society could’ve done for this young man. Because instead of showing him kindness, love, support, and guidance. He’s now only getting either hated and/or glorified, and both of those things are tragic to his future and his development.

    • If a minor typo was enough to make you stop reading, then it’s clear you weren’t looking for understanding—you were looking for an excuse to dismiss the conversation.

      As for Dominique Alexander, you’re entitled to your opinion about him, but personal feelings about a spokesperson don’t erase the legal facts of this case or the principles of due process. This isn’t about who you “like” delivering the message—it’s about whether the young man at the center of this gets a fair shot in a system that historically hasn’t been fair to people who look like him.

      You say making this about race “ruined” things for him—but let’s be honest. The moment a Black teenager was charged, race was already part of how this would play out, whether anyone spoke on it or not. Ignoring that reality doesn’t protect him—it leaves him defenseless against it.

      I agree with you on one thing: he deserves kindness, support, and guidance. But that starts with ensuring he’s treated equally under the law—not silencing those who call out double standards just because it makes people uncomfortable.

      If we care about his future, we should focus less on who’s delivering the message—and more on making sure justice is actually served.

  9. This biased article leaves out a very significant fact, Anthony’s own words:

    “I’m not alleged, I did it..”

    As the author preaches evidence, not emotion or racial stereotypes, I’m left to ponder….. did the author applaud when OJ was acquitted in his criminal trial..? Or were you upset that the system let a double murderer free because of racism..?

    To deny that the Anthony family is using racial nonsense is disingenuous. In scenarios like this I’m reminded of the words of Booker T. Washington:
    “There is a class of colored people who make a business of keeping the troubles, the wrongs, and the hardships of the Negro race before the public. Having learned that they are able to make a living out of their troubles, they have grown into the settled habit of advertising their wrongs-partly because they want sympathy and partly because it pays. Some of these people do not want the Negro to lose his grievances, because they do not want to lose their jobs”

    • Let’s deal with the facts—not recycled talking points or cherry-picked quotes.

      Yes, Karmelo Anthony reportedly said, “I did it.” But if you’ve read past the headlines, you’d know he also said he acted in self-defense—and he was never read his Miranda rights. That’s not a technicality. That’s a constitutional violation. In a system that’s supposed to be based on law, that matters. If you’re willing to throw due process out the window because of a single quote, you’re not after justice—you’re after punishment.

      As for O.J.—you’re grasping at cultural straws to distract from the current issue. That case is not relevant to this one, and bringing it up is a clear attempt to racialize a conversation you claim others are making about race. The irony isn’t lost.

      Quoting Booker T. Washington while ignoring the full scope of his advocacy is a clever trick, but a dishonest one. Washington also believed in building institutions, demanding fairness, and protecting the rights of the Black community—even when the public didn’t like it. That’s what this article is doing: calling out disparities in treatment, not playing victimhood politics.

      No one is asking for sympathy. What’s being demanded is consistency. If your support for the justice system evaporates the moment a Black defendant invokes their rights, then maybe the problem isn’t the defendant—it’s your definition of justice.

      Let the courts decide. That’s not bias. That’s the law

      • Oh so it’s opinion when someone else says it but when your dumbass types it it’s fact? It’s fact that it’s self defense?

        You are a race baiting piece of shit with a trained dumbass ai response.

  10. Everyone deserves due process. A family lost their child — and having to bury your own is a life-altering tragedy.

    Things got physical, and they shouldn’t have. The young man was sitting in a tent that didn’t belong to his team. He was asked to leave — not appropriately, granted — and that’s where the other kid made a mistake.

    According to multiple witnesses, the young man then reached into his bookbag and made a threat. He pulled out a knife and stabbed the other kid.

    Looking at the facts — without justifying anything — someone lost their life. And someone else is going to pay the price for that.

    • You’re absolutely right about one thing: everyone deserves due process. And yes, a family burying their child is a profound, heartbreaking tragedy that no parent should ever have to endure.

      But due process means we don’t rush to conclusions based solely on early reports or secondhand witness claims—especially in a case involving two teenagers, conflicting accounts, and high emotions. Police reports are not verdicts. Witnesses can contradict each other. And motive, intent, and context matter in the eyes of the law.

      Yes, someone lost their life. But before we decide who should “pay the price,” we must let the court do what it’s designed to do: weigh the facts, evaluate credibility, and determine what actually happened—not what people assume happened.

      Justice requires truth, not emotion-driven certainty. And no matter how tragic the outcome, we owe it to both families to let that process play out fairly.

  11. My comment didn’t make it past moderation and I don’t know. When I was a kid I had to face an expulsion hearing for smoking a little weed on campus. I guess kids should be able to stab each other without expulsion now is what your saying?

    • You’re comparing smoking a little weed to a situation where a young man is accused of murder—two completely different scenarios, and both still deserve due process.

      Let’s be clear: there has been no grand jury decision, no indictment, and no trial. The facts are still unfolding. And last time I checked, in this country, you are presumed innocent until proven guilty—not expelled, condemned, and erased from the system before your day in court.

      No one’s saying there shouldn’t be consequences. But expelling a student before a legal determination is made sets a dangerous precedent where public opinion replaces process. That’s not justice—it’s reaction.

      Justice isn’t about rushing to punish. It’s about making sure we get it righ

  12. Police report states Metcalf pushed him out of the tent with one shove Anthony responded with stabbing him in the heart. This does not meet the standards for self defense in Texas. Anthony is a coward who couldn’t take getting told to leave no different then bouncers pushing someone out of a club.

  13. Hers is the thing. Yes the fund hadn’t been opened yet, but like anyone expecting a large sum of money they tend to spend against it knowing that it’s coming. So they technically didn’t spend it but they did with the intention of returning money spent back to its accounts.

    • Here’s the real thing—you’re reaching.

      You’re accusing a family of financial misconduct based on pure speculation and imaginary scenarios. There’s no evidence they “spent against” anything, no proof of wrongdoing, and no justification for spreading that narrative—other than to discredit a young man and his family during a legal battle.

      This isn’t how facts work. You don’t get to invent intentions or suggest guilt just because it fits the story you want to believe. Until you can show actual proof of misuse, all you’re doing is pushing baseless accusations.

      If we’re going to talk about responsibility, let’s start with being responsible about the claims we make. Because throwing around financial slander without facts says more about your intentions than theirs.

      Stay focused on reality—not rumors.

      • So here’s the real facts…..They are withdrawing the GiveSendGo funds to pay the $3500/month rent on the gated mansion. They have purchased a new Escalade. And the neighbors are on record stating Amazon has made multiple, daily deliveries to the house.

        His father is not working. His mother is not working. His siblings are not working. So I guess all these newly acquired assets are just early Christmas presents…

  14. no hell he was not….everybody and anybody knows you never go sit under or on someone else’s team tent, dugout, or bench. Why? Because people keep their personal belongings in there. So ask yourself why was he in there with a knife. Maybe to try and loot, which you guys love to do at every given chance. Your page is nothing but pure racist propaganda. It could not be more blatant. Well guess what, we white people have had enough of you killing us and we will Stand and fight for Austin. Say his name. AUSTIN METCALF!!

  15. In a situation like this, where everything is supercharged and everyone seems to have a preset narrative, the hardest thing to do is to acknowledge that none of us whose involvement in the case is limited to having an opinion know all of the pertinent information. It is not up to me (or people writing on this page) to render judgment. That will be up to a judge and jury and none of us will be serving in either capacity. We also have to acknowledge is that a lot of lies come up on the Internet from all camps. I read one black person’s comments on the fundraising site that he hopes “that the knife makes a full recovery,” which would have garnered national headlines had a white kid written it over the killing of a black person. Likewise, Mr. Metcalf was swatted (along with his wife, as they apparently are separated), which I find to be reprehensible.

    On the white side, I have seen things on the Internet that clearly are not true. I have no idea about Karmelo Anthony’s past, but I doubt I will learn anything truthful about him on random websites or on the various white supremacy sites that I have no intention of visiting. In other words, the best thing that people like us can do is to watch and allow justice to take its course, whatever that outcome might be.

    Almost 20 years ago, I was involved in what is known as the Duke Lacrosse Case. Some of you might remember or maybe you have heard of it. It involved three young men on Duke University’s lacrosse team being accused of beating and raping her. The charges were a lie, and the people involved in the case from the prosecutor to the police to people with the NAACP to Duke University officials knew it. (The woman in the case, Crystal Mangum, recently admitted that she made up the charges and lied about pretty much everything.)

    I can tell you chapter and verse about the investigation, the DNA discoveries, and how it was absolutely impossible for Mangum’s accusations to be valid. There was no “cleaning up the crime scene” or anything like that, contrary to what I read in the press. Moreover, there was no “botched” investigation. The police got all of the evidence that would be needed to make a decision. However, because a political coalition of the blacks and radical whites in Durham happens to control politics there, the prosecutor, Michael Nifong, who was facing an election, decided to push ahead. We caught him in several lies, but we were dealing with a case in which the truth was going to be tossed aside.

    I also will note that I received death threats from black people for my involvement in the case, threats I considered not to be credible, but threats all the same. It seems that a lot of people decided to go with a preset narrative and were not going to let the truth budge them from their position. It was instructive to read comments from people who had opinions but little else.

    Unfortunately, one of the people radicalized by this case was Stephen Miller, the same Stephen Miller who works in the Trump White House. He was a student at Duke and spoke out against the charges. Nancy Grace on CNN responded to his claim that there was no rape by telling him that he should go to Nazi Germany, since they didn’t have trials there. (Of course, when the lacrosse players were officially exonerated by the North Carolina attorney general — who now is the governor there — Grace decided to have a substitute on her show, which gives us a glimpse of her lack of character.)

    I bring this up because I see the same kind of jumping to conclusions on all sides. Now, the difference is that there is a real victim here, the Metcalf boy who was killed by Anthony. I would urge people this time to allow justice to take its course.

  16. Did he do it? Yes. Was it premeditated? Yes.
    Under Texas state law, Mr. Anthony is guilty of murder in the first degree. The black community is the only one making this a race issue to scare everyone away from the truth. These are all facts posted here. Please bring receipts if you have a claim of one… one single white person making this a race issue. I’m referring to real receipts, not Jussie smollett receipts. code 9.22
    Conduct is justified if: the actor reasonably believes the conduct is immediately necessary to AVOID IMMINENT HARM.(google is leaving a lot out in their definition of self defense) this is directly quoted from Texas statutes.gov. It also says: A person is justified in using force, but NOT DEADLY FORCE against another when the degree he REASONABLY believes the force is immediately necessary. I understand bias, but racism? You black folks out there being racist against white folks just to gain the upper hand and use it as a tool to let killers walk free. Shame on you. Shame on all racist, but that’s not the topic at hand. Why don’t we see this kind of outrage in the black community when black on black murders occur? Are their lives not worth the outrage?!?! Well?!? No answer huh. I thought as much. SMH. I pray justice is served properly, otherwise everything we stand for as a country begins to fade. I pray for both families in this mess, and I pray the firm hand of Gods justice is laid upon that predator, that exploiter, that has already lost the Anthony family one attorney. That man is only out for himself and MLK would be rolling over in his grave if he knew the black community was just allowing this vampire to nest in the Anthony family home.

    • You began with “Did he do it? Yes,” but failed to mention that he also said it was in self-defense—which is legally significant. Self-defense, under Texas Penal Code 9.31, 9.32, and 9.22, justifies the use of force, even deadly force, if a person reasonably believes it is necessary to prevent imminent harm. That’s not spin—that’s state law.

      But here’s what’s even more critical: There hasn’t been a grand jury indictment, no trial, no evidence cross-examined under oath. Yet, many like you are ready to throw due process out the window and declare guilt by public opinion. That’s not justice. That’s emotional bias pretending to be principle.

      You claim the Black community is playing the race card—but where was this energy in cases like George Zimmerman, Daniel Penny, or Caysen Allison? All were involved in fatal confrontations. None were met with million-dollar bonds or immediate vilification in the press. That’s not just coincidence. That’s precedent.

      And let’s address your “Black-on-Black crime” deflection. According to FBI statistics, 80–85% of white homicide victims are killed by other white people. But we don’t call that white-on-white crime—because we recognize that crime is usually intraracial. The term Black-on-Black crime is used to stigmatize, not to inform. It’s a rhetorical tool, not a call for justice.

      So let’s stop pretending this is about public safety or law and order. What you’re defending is a double standard. You ignore facts, dismiss due process, and then accuse others of racism for pointing out what’s plainly visible: The rules change depending on who’s on trial.

      Justice must apply equally—or it’s not justice at all.

  17. This shouldn’t be turned into a race issue—this is about two teenagers, and one made the tragic decision to pull a knife and take another life. Bringing up unrelated cases or making this about political identity distracts from the facts.

    A verbal fight does not justify stabbing someone. From what we know, the student went into another team’s tent, refused to leave, and escalated the situation himself. The victim was unarmed, and there were adults and witnesses present. This wasn’t self-defense—it was a deadly choice made in the heat of the moment, and someone died because of it.

    We can talk about justice, but justice also means accountability. Let’s stop twisting facts to fit a narrative and focus on the real issue: a young life was taken when it never should have been.
