A fundraiser for the Texas teen accused of fatally stabbing Austin Metcalf and leaving him to
die in his twin brother’s arms has raked in over $60,000 as of Sunday — as the teen maintains
he acted in self-defense.
The GiveSendGo campaign was purportedly set up by the family of Karmelo Anthony, 17, who cops say confessed to the horrific stabbing at a track meet in Frisco, Texas, last Wednesday.
The page claimed that the “narrative being spread is false, unjust, and harmful.”
“As a family of faith, we are deeply grateful for all of your support during this trying period. Your prayers and assistance mean more to us now more than ever,” according to the fundraiser.
Many of the commenters claimed that Anthony had been bullied by Metcalf before the 17-year-old allegedly pulled a knife and stabbed Metcalf in the heart.
“Good luck young man. Bullying must stop!!” one person wrote, while another chimed in, “Let this be a message to all bullies. Don’t start no stuff, won’t be no stuff.”
Comment:
It will be hard to claim self-defense if the victim was unarmed.
It sounds like it was just a small dispute about a seat.
A seat is not worth killing for.
