Karmelo Anthony Found Guilty of Murder

 

It didn't sound like trial was going well for Mr. Anthony and sure enough--it wasn't.

PJ Media: The Karmelo Anthony Problem

TOM: GUILTY! GUILTY! GUILTY!

My heart goes out to the Metcalf family. While I support the verdict, it's tragic for Anthony's family too.

Raising boys to think it is ok to stab someone if they "lay hands on you" (regardless of level) is the same culture that results in dozens of black on black shootings every weekend in Chicago. That is the tragedy of this, it just keeps escallating.

At least dueling culture, back in the day, had specific rules. This is just thug stuff. Now Karmelo Anthony will have years to contemplate his actions.  

The jury sentenced Karmelo Anthony to 35 years.  He is eligible for parole in 17.5 years.

I practice law in Collin County, Texas.

Karmelo Anthony will be convicted and sentenced to life in prison.

As he should.

He murdered that boy because he was raised to hate white people and to view himself as a victim in every situation.

It’s a culture thing.

Austin Metcalf’s mother had this to say about the Karmelo Anthony sentencing:

We have lost our minds.

A jury convicted Karmelo Anthony of murder for stabbing 17-year-old Austin Metcalf to death. Evidence was presented. Witnesses testified. Self-defense was rejected. He got 35 years.
That’s not a “legal lynching.” That’s justice.

I don’t celebrate anything about the Karmelo conviction. I’m happy justice was done, but the whole thing is sad. One young life gone. Another effectively over. Groups of black people who’ve been lied to about everything their whole lives will be mad about it.

Whole thing sucks.

💥NEW: Stephen A. Smith: “I would give anything to be able to say something definitively in Karmelo Anthony’s defense. If there was a shred of innocence to the incident itself, I would say so. I don’t want to see another black young man going to jail.”
