Karmelo Anthony Is One Lucky Dirtbag
Karmelo Anthony is one lucky monster.
The jury that convicted the 19-year-old Texan of first degree murder for the 2025 stabbing death of 17-year-old track star Austin Metcalf showed him mercy and sentenced this murderous piece of garbage to just 35 years in prison, instead of giving him life.
That means Anthony will be eligible for parole in 17 years, when he’s 36 years old. He’ll be young enough to have a life outside of prison walls. Maybe he’ll get out in time to have a family. In the meantime, he gets to eat three meals a day, see the sun, have visits with his family.
He can also spend his days reading his fan mail. There will be lots of it, from the racists who believe it’s OK for a black boy to stab a white boy.
The Metcalf family is not lucky. For as long as they draw breath Austin’s mother, father and twin brother will have aching holes in their hearts. There will always be an empty chair at their dinner table, a missing member in family photos. Austin was a teen who will never graduate from high school, go to college, get married or have a family of his own.
If the loathsome killer who showed no remorse for his brutal slaying wasn’t bad enough, outside the Collin County Courthouse the hateful Anthony fan club heaped scorn not on the murderer, but on the dead boy. They want to turn a cold-blooded killer into George Floyd.
I don’t think they will be able to sell the Karmelo Anthony as hero even to the stupidest Americans.
These racists were chanting slogans like, “the only good cracker is a dead cracker,” while they taunted the Metcalf family shouting that Karmelo should have killed Austin’s twin too. They called the brothers “domestic racist terrorists.”
For what? Trying to get someone out of their team tent at a track meet?
One monster hollered that they should dig up Austin’s body and stab it some more.
Oh, and an overwrought black women lamented in a TV interview that she has five sons.
“What do I tell them?” she keened.
Oh, I don’t know. How about “Don’t kill anyone?”
Did these protestors really believe that a teen could take a knife to a track meet, get into a dispute with another kid, stab an unarmed boy to death AND GET AWAY WITH IT?
Apparently.
It’s hard to imagine how the Metcalf family has endured this past year. Not only did they lose Austin, they had to endure death threats and being “swatted” multiple times.
The Metcalfs finally got their say in the final moment of the trial. After the guilty verdict. After the sentencing
In their victim witness statements, an angry Jeff Metcalf demanded that Anthony look at him. The murderer refused.
"We were robbed!" he said. "Don't look down!"
"This was never about race. It is about right and wrong."
"My boys weren't bullies," he said…"My son's death destroyed the person I used to be. He does not exist anymore."
"People think grief is sadness, it is not. It is rage. Pure unfiltered rage.’
"You don't belong in this community…A piece of me died with my son.’
Austin’s mother Meghan tearfully addressed her son’s killer.
“We will never know what our future could have been," she sobbed. "For journalists, activists, this is a story. For our family, this is our reality."
"You should feel lucky you got 35 years because I've been given a life sentence without my son."
Lucky indeed.
