With the verdict in the trial of Karmelo Anthony almost certainly being upon us tomorrow, the nature of social media has forced us to consume some of the most idiotic takes imaginable if you want to read a little bit about what is going on.
After reading some of these that I’ll provide you, it’s clear that we live in a parallel country with people. If you’re giving the most charitable interpretation of the message that they are conveying, they simply have a completely different understanding of the most basic of facts. A less charitable (and perhaps correct) interpretation is that many just have a visceral hatred of White people, one so deep that they are willing to excuse even the most depraved of actions to defend violent action towards Whites.
I don’t think Karmelo Anthony meant to kill or even seriously hurt Austin Metcalf.

The knife — just like a gun — provides additional courage to its holder.
That’s the downside of packing weapons. Supposed to be deterrents, but often lead to more violence than they prevent.…
The facts from court:

🔹 Karmelo has epilepsy (the CONTINUED assault could have triggered a fatal seizure).
🔹 The massive Metcalf brothers were towering over him.
🔹 Karmelo was SEATED the entire time.

According to everyone's testimony, Karmelo actually showed RESTRAINT while Metcalf harassed him..The phrase "touch me and see..." explicitly puts the ball in the other person's court. If the aggressor simply chooses not to lay their hands on the person, no physical altercation…

I hope Karmelo walks out free especially if Kyle Rittenhouse got to drive across state lines to shoot Black people using an AR-15 without ANY repercussion.

In a just world Kyle would be behind bars and Karmelo wouldn’t have been racially harassed to a point of self defense. https://t.co/oLY1ul3J4e
The same system that found reason to let Kyle Rittenhouse free better be the same system to let Karmelo Anthony go home too!

The worst take of all (understandably) came from Anthony’s defense team, who alleged that Austin Metcalf essentially committed suicide by impaling himself on Anthony’s knife.
With all of the stupidity that surrounds the defense and the glaringly obvious justice outcome of the trial, do not be so sure that the good guys will win this one. How many times have we witnessed a miscarriage of justice in the most open and shut of cases?
I’m fully prepared for a not guilty verdict to be handed down. All the evidence and facts of the case would lead you to believe that it would be impossible, but how many jurors in the world have the courage to do the right thing in the face of their lives potentially being destroyed by the BLM mafia?
We can only pray that the Metcalf family receive the justice that they are due.
