Verdict reached in Karmelo murder trial

[j-mac]

Well when you have an all white jury in the south convicting a black man, what did you expect?

I'm surprised they didn't simply lynch him. It would have been more honest.

Are you really trying to say that Anthony was convicted only because of race?

Dear lord.

 

[DigitalDrifter]

You mean the white boys who pushed him out of the tent and shoved him to the ground.

Sweet little angels, I'm sure they were.

Now, imagine if it were two black teens who pushed around a smaller white boy. I'm sure your reaction would have been totally different.

So, are you saying then that it would have been acceptable for the white kid to stab them?

 

[drudge X]

No, because the video's proved Rittenhouse was defending himself from unprovoked attacks. Without the videos, Rittenhouse might have been convicted of manslaughter.

Joe, like the media, loves to gaslight readers and viewers.

 

[22lcidw]

Oh, I agree, this crime was entirely stupid.

So was Rittenhouse going to a riot pretending he was a medic with a gun.
So was Zimmerman pretending he was Batman, stalking a black kid.
So was Reeves shooting a man because he was texting on his phone and threw popcorn at him.

I do not know about Reeves. I do know the major white on black crime is miniscule compared to the opposite. Showing the true images of some of the perps is a fuzzy area. Trayvon was gangster while they showed his infant and toddler photos and Zimmerman wanted to be a cop and never will. If he had a lesser charge, he may have went to prison for a decade or so. Rittenhouse with his weapon wanted to stop looting, and destruction of property and self-defense for doing so. The endless insurrections were tiresome even at that time. That was interesting. For near all of the tough insurrectionists ran their asses as fast as they could.

Rittenhouse was a white dude that shot 2 white dudes. Where is the racism?

 

[hadit]

Witnesses have testified that Austin shoved Carmelo so hard that it lifted him off the ground.

Typical when you have an over 6 foot tall, over 200 lbs hulk, going up against a puny barely 5'8 boy.

Since they testified, it should be on the record under oath. Which witnesses testified and was their testimony credible? Give with names and links, please.

SICKENING VIDEO: Evil Mob of Karmelo Anthony Supporters Follow and Harass Grieving Metcalf Family Outside Courthouse After 35-Year Sentence, ‘We Glad Austin’s Dead!’​

Footage posted to X captures the family, still grieving from losing their 17-year-old son and brother, being taunted with the vile chant “We glad Austin’s dead!” as they walked from the courthouse steps to their vehicles in the parking lot.

In the video, the Metcalf family is trying to just walk down the stairs to leave.

As the family members, including Austin’s identical twin brother Hunter, who held his brother as he bled out and died, make their way across the lot toward waiting cars, a group of the killer’s supporters closes in.

All 21 witnesses for the prosecution and the defense testified that Anthony was the aggressor. All of them black and white who were there at the time

They excluded them selves because they know if they vote guilty they will be hated in their community. Targets for revenge.

Bullshit. Blacks convict blacks of crimes all the time.

Optics aren’t on the parents’ side. Anyone who is a parent teaches their kids to get away from bullies or to push or punch back - not retaliate with a fatal knife stab. The next part is that if money is raised for your child’s defense, every penny goes to the best legal defense. You don’t correct a million dollar home stack it with three luxury cars while you are unemployed and your son is in need of the best defense.

I feel bad for Karmelo. Not only was he not raised correctly, his parents sold him out in an extreme time of need for him.

Actually, he hasn't even gotten the money that was raised on his behalf yet.

 

[JoeB131]

Joe the Bigot thinks the purpose of a jury is to let a black murderer off with probation and sentence a white trespasser to four years in prison.

If their case was so solid, they'd have been able to sell it to black jurors.

MEANWHILE, you have this case.

https://www.cnn.com/2026/06/01/us/south-carolina-murder-trial-cyrus-carmack-belton

A South Carolina jury on Monday found a store owner not guilty of murder in the 2023 shooting of a Black 14-year-old.

The jury returned the verdict for Chikei Rick Chow. Chow, 61, who is Asian, shot Cyrus Carmack-Belton in the back after chasing him from his convenience store in Columbia, but maintained he acted to defend his son. The killing sent waves of anguish and grief through the African American community in Richland County, where nearly half the population is Black.

Prosecutors and a defense lawyer in closing arguments painted different pictures of the 2023 shooting. Prosecutors said Chow acted in anger because he wrongly thought the teen had stolen four bottles of water from the store. A defense lawyer said Chow fired to defend his son only after the teen pointed a gun at him.

Prosecutors acknowledged Carmack-Belton had a semiautomatic pistol, but they say it fell on the ground during the chase, and he never threatened anyone with it. Prosecutors said Chow chased the teen more than 130 yards from the store.

Solicitor Byron E. Gipson told jurors that Chow “chased a kid down, shot him in the back.”

During closing arguments, Gipson placed a bottle of water before jurors. Gipson said that Chow “at the end of the day, believed that a human is not more than that.”

Gipson said multiple witnesses testified that they didn’t see anything in Carmack-Belton’s hands and didn’t see him point a gun as he ran from the store.


Yup, keep telling me we have equal justice in this country.

Shoot a kid in the back over a bottle of water! Not Guilty.
Use a knife to defend yourself against bullies! GUILTY.

This will help clarify. From Texas self defense focused attorneys.

The normal and legal response to a shove is NOT a knife to the heart. If Karmelo had just shoved back, this would have been just another scuffle between overly testosteroned athletes.

You mean the two bigger white boys would have beaten the shit out of him and maybe got a week's suspension.

For the hundreth time. IT WAS NOT AN ALL WHTE JURY. It was half minoroty.

No blacks. Still a farce

Stop lying, that didn't happen. One boy shoved him, Anthony didn't go to the ground, he pulled out a knife and plunged it into the victim's chest with no warning at all right after the shove. Anthony wasn't even knocked off balance by the shove as shown by his immediate fatal response.

How is that different than Rittenhouse, Chow, Reeves, or Zimmerman.

They all made split second decisions to use deadly force when threatened.

But only the black kid is supposed to parse the level of threat.

 

[JoeB131]

Are you really trying to say that Anthony was convicted only because of race?

Dear lord.

Given that white people (and an Asian dude) did far worse things, and were able to win on self-defense, I'd say, um, yeah.

Black Americans are not allowed to defend themselves in America.

Didn't you know?

He could have left the tent he had no permission to be inwhen told. This is not a dark alley. Its a tent at a school meet. Instead of leaving he killed someone else and effectively killed himself.

Par for the course.

What a pathetic argument.
All witnesses repeatedly said Anthony was the aggressor.
He was repeatedly told to leave since he wasn't with their school. He was not ganged up on, was not backed into a corner, and could have left at anytime.
In addition, he was recently suspended from his own school for carrying a knife.

He's a murderer, and he should be thanking God that he didn't get life in prison.

 

[MarcATL]

He could have left the tent he had no permission to be inwhen told. This is not a dark alley. Its a tent at a school meet. Instead of leaving he killed someone else and effectively killed himself.

Austin could have just kept his hands to himself, he would still be alive today and we wouldn't be having this argument now.

 

[SweetTea]

Austin could have just kept his hands to himself, he would still be alive today and we wouldn't be having this argument now.

True, but it does not change the fact that Anthony is still responsible for his actions.
