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

Eye many witness testimony has destroyed the self defense position. Pushing doesnt justify use of deadly force and witnesses testified the push was moderate not violent. Anthony was provoking and was asked to leave many times. Hes toast. Lock his ass up throw the book at him.

he was pushed to the ground, he had a reasonable fear for his safety.

Again, if you apply the Zimmerman/Rittenhouse standard, it was definitely self-defense.

The public won’t be able to learn the full truth of the case, but the boy’s claim of self‑defense looks very weak. He brought a large knife to school — you’re not supposed to bring weapons to school at all. He went into another team’s area under their tent, made a threat, and a simple push does not justify deadly force.

He had a big knife hidden in his gym bag, and I don’t think a Texas jury is going to accept self‑defense here. It looks like he was looking for trouble. How many people bring a kitchen‑sized knife to school? And who walks into another team’s space like that? It’s just rude.

When he was asked to leave, he should have left. He didn’t even need to say anything — ignoring it and walking away would have been the right thing to do.

If a person is attacked, then they have the right to defend themselves in any way they can. But a push is not an attack. It may be insulting, but it’s not an act of physical harm. It’s a shame that kids do stupid things, but that’s the way it is — and when it happens, there have to be consequences. And the consequences must match the severity of the harm that was done; a slap on the wrist won’t suffice. Otherwise, we’ll have an epidemic of this kind of behavior.

Did they put their hands on him?

If you put your hands on me, I have a right to remove you.

With reasonable force not deadly force. Eye witness have testified it was not reasonable or justified.

Eyewitnesses testified that Zimmerman and Rittenhouse used unreasonable deadly force, that's how they got indictments of those two shitheads.

You can get a grand jury to indict a ham sandwich.

A trial is another issue.

Which is why the prosecution is trying to rig it by eliminating blacks from the jury.

Its actually an open and shut case. Carrying the knife and his provoking violence shows intent. Eye witnesses support this. Hes toast

Rittenhouse was an open and shut case. He carried a gun and provoked violence.
Zimmerman was an open and shut case. He carried a gun and provoked violence.

if Anthony gets convicted, it's because of racism.

The juries said not guilty your opinion doesnt matter. No appeals occurred. Slam dunk case closed

Again, yes, the racists won. I'm sure you are happy.
So now a mostly white jury will convict a kid who was defending himself against bullies.
