Karmelo Anthony, Texas teen who snagged $600K in donations after he ‘stabbed football star to death,’ faces trial

[Soupnazi630]

Metcalf committed an assault

Now, did Anthony feel threatened to the point of defending himself against numerous other boys?
That will be decided by a jury

No he did not

Anthony commited murder, there is no basis for a self defense argument

 

[rightwinger]

If he were hanging out on the field in the area reserved for a team yes you could. They do not allow random people to hang out with the team and eavesdrop or pester the players, This viscious thug was intruding on an area reserved for others they were in their rights to tell him to go back to the tent reserved for his own team.

The law only applies to the part where this thug murdered a kid for no reason. The victim was in the right.

Any “rules” relating to pitching team tents and who may use them are by the Athletic Association not criminal law.

There was an altercation and it was six on one.
At what point does that become self defense?
Texas has stand your ground laws and an armed person is not required to flee

 

[rightwinger]

No he did not

Anthony commited murder, there is no basis for a self defense argument

You have been assaulted and are surrounded by six boys who are a threat to you.

A jury will decide if self defense applies.

Texas has passed many laws allowing an armed person to defend themselves when threatened. Let’s see if it applies equally

No one said it was criminal law.

It is reasonable to tell him to leave

There was no such altercation.

Stand your ground does not apply. They are not even invoking that law.

Your scenario is a lie. He was not assaulted.

He was not threatened

TThose laws do not apply

Stand your ground does not apply. They are not even invoking that law.

It is reasonable to allow someone into a shelter when it is raining.

Stand your ground means an armed person is not required to flee if assaulted.

Red states love these laws and frequently apply them to a person with a gun who shoots someone when confronted

He was shoved, which is an assault

Not when your team equipment is stored there and the person is from another team with their own tent right nearvy

It is smart to tell them to go back to their own team

Stand your ground does not apply which is the defense is not invoking it. Karmelo had no business there he instigated the whole thing because he is trash

 

[Soupnazi630]

He was shoved, which is an assault

No he was not

 

[Meathead]

He was shoved, which is an assault

I've been shoved as a teen but I never killed anyone for it, so shove it.

 

[Rawley]

Would you chase someone into the rain?

You must be MAGA

What, was he going to melt? Are you really arguing he deserved to be stabbed in the chest and die because he told Anthony to go to his own tent? Really?

 

[rightwinger]

I've been shoved as a teen but I never killed anyone for it, so shove it.

Still an assault
I don’t like Texas laws and think they are too lenient to someone using a gun in an altercation. Self Defense, Stand your Ground are common defenses when a weapon is used in an altercation.

All I am looking for is that Texas law be applied equally

No…but his assault on Anthony provoked the incident.
Proper response to someone being where they do not belong is to get an official or security.
Self help to physically force him out is not warranted

Taking facts most favorably to Anthony, when he started mouthing off to Metcalf, Metcalf shoved him. I'll ask again, you think the proper response to that shove is to pull a knife out of his bag and stab Metcalf to death in the chest. Really?

Only an animal would take out a knife and kill someone over a shove, and all of those are rotting in prison. That punk will rot in a cell or 6' under. He's a goner and the world will be a better place for it.

 

[Tyrion234]

Horseshit.

So you're saying that I could come up to at the football game and shove you and tell you to leave, with no authority whatsoever.


And you would tuck your tail and say, "yes sir", like a good little boy, then leave. Like a good little boy.

Noted. But not everyone is this big a sissy. Nor does the law expect or require that people roll into a ball and comply, as you apparently would.

Ignore time for this moron

Me?
Of course not. I think an armed person needs to show restraint.

But second amendment nuts insist on their god given right to shoot someone whenever they feel threatened.

It should apply to knives also

?? I'm a second amendment nut, and if Anthony used to gun or a knife to react to a shove, he needs to spend a long, long time in prison, perhaps the rest of his life.

Oh…but I was surrounded by a hostile mob and feared for my life
It worked for Rittenhouse

2A nuts do it all the time……fuk with me and I will shoot
Only Anthony had a knife so the NRA is not rushing to his defense
