FRISCO, Texas — Karmelo Anthony, the teen accused of fatally stabbing another teen, Austin Metcalf, at a Frisco track meet, has been indicted on a murder charge, officials said.

A grand jury indicted Anthony on Tuesday, according to the Collin County District Attorney's Office. A murder charge is punishable by 5-99 years or life in prison.



Anthony, a 17-year-old former student of Frisco Centennial High School, was arrested and charged with murder in the fatal stabbing of Frisco Memorial High School student athlete Austin Metcalf in April at a track meet in Frisco ISD's Kuykendall Stadium. He was released from jail later that month after his bond was reduced from $1 million to $250,000.

Anthony has claimed self defense in the case, which garnered national attention, heightening racial tensions and raising security concerns among everyone connected to the case, including both families and Judge Angela Tucker, who is presiding over the case.

"We know this case has struck a deep nerve — here in Collin County and beyond," Collin County District Attorney Greg Willis said in a statement Tuesday. "That’s understandable. When something like this happens at a school event, it shakes people to the core. But the justice system works best when it moves with steadiness and with principle. That’s what we’re committed to. And that’s exactly what this case deserves."

Anthony's attorney, Mike Howard, called Tuesday's indictment "an expected and routine step in the legal process."

"Karmelo and his family are confident in the justice system and the people of Collin County to be fair and impartial," Howard said. "Of course, Karmelo looks forward to his day in court. It's only in a trial that a jury will hear the full story, one that includes critical facts and context that the grand jury simply didn't get to hear."

Howard again raised Anthony's self defense claim in his statement Tuesday.

"We expect that when the full story is heard, the prosecution will not be able to rule out the reasonable doubt that Karmelo Anthony may have acted in self defense," Howard said. "Self defense is a fundamental right guaranteed every American."



Metcalf's father, Jeff Metcalf, told WFAA in a statement that he's "pleased that we are moving forward."

“With the first degree murder indictment, it now goes into the court system," Jeff Metcalf said. "I fully believe that justice will be served for Austin Metcalf. I look forward to the forthcoming trial. But it will never bring my son back.“

Under his bond conditions, Anthony is required to wear an ankle monitor and ask permission to leave his home. If Anthony violates any conditions of his bond, he will have to return to jail. He graduated and received his high school diploma in May, but did not attend the ceremony, WFAA previously reported.

Anthony allegedly confessed to the stabbing immediately after he was arrested, claiming he was defending himself from Metcalf, officials said, as WFAA previously reported.

A witness reportedly told police that Metcalf told Anthony he had to move out from under the Memorial High School tent. Anthony responded by opening his bag and reaching inside, WFAA previously reported.

"Touch me and see what happens," Anthony told Metcalf, according to a witness.

Metcalf reportedly then touched Anthony, the witness told a responding officer, and Anthony told Metcalf to punch him and see what would happen. Soon afterward, the witness said, Metcalf reportedly grabbed Anthony to tell him to move. At which point, the affidavit continues, Anthony reportedly pulled out what the witness recalled as a black knife and stabbed Metcalf once in the chest before running away.

The deep tension sparked by the incident has raised concerns that the case may be tried outside of Collin County. Collin County District Attorney Greg Willis told WFAA that the judge will make that decision at the time of trial.

I won't be surprised if China with some Chinese agents might push for DEI apparatchiks and all. Can we said "how convenient"?

That and they are probably now reaping the rich harvest that was the demoralizatzion Yuri Bezmehnov talked about. you know the slow poisoning of the West's entire system

 

[kiwiburgerplanet]

Lmfao, and your reading comprehension is as good as good as the nigger and the trash supporting him. I didnt say one of the last white towns, I said one of the last "succesful" white majority towns. My post was about white culture more than genes with me specifically talking against an ethnostate. That doesnt change the fact that white culture, Christian culture, naturally flows from succesful white communities. I hope that people discriminating against those nigger in spirit would make it so whites dont have to carry the mantle in the future, but we do right now. keep malding faggot.

Those following Christ will be saved. I hope you find a way to give up your niggertude and join us at church too. Go with peace brother.

None of that is true, and it's clear you are a weak individual with a weak mind.

You say your post was about white culture, not genes, and that you oppose an ethnostate. That's fine. But your argument still collapses under scrutiny and you offer no rebuttals. You can't explain applachia, you can't explain the failure of white Christian leadership.

From a cultural standpoint, American Black Culture has been America's greatest export. In Europe, Asia, Japan. You name it.

You also invoke religion to spew hatred. You are no Christian. You are a low value white, just like the blacks you condemn. Only difference is your melanin. Personally I think you hate whites, because so many of them surpass you.

I live in one of the last majority white succesful towns in America. it is fucking great

I talked about it a bit in another thread, but my town up until very recently was exactly like this. In most regards it still is; unlocked homes and cars, kids out and about, strangers just talk to one another. But yesterday was the most nogs I have ever seen here. One taking signatures in the walmart parking lot (probably for caramel boy), one at the park with another group of assorted browns, half a dozen at the store itself, and of course jeets to top it all off.

I don't know what's happening, but I feel like something is going on because I have never seen this.

You’re right, we should just let multinational corporations ran by Ben Shapiro’s cousins do whatever they want.

Maybe the unions wouldn’t be so pozzed if boomers hadn’t let a senile, Californian monkey movie actor convince them they were of the devil.

>but Reagan

Yeah, because the problems were evident even back then. There's a lot of things to blame Reagan for but this isn't one of them (for that matter, neither is the issue of mental asylums). Blaming Reagan for the state of unions now is like blaming video game piracy for how hard vidya companies push GaaS.

What I think is eventually gonna happen is that you're gonna have designer colleges just like you have designer labels and you're going to have colleges that are the equivalent to that of Walmart and depending on where your piece of paper says you got your degree from that's probably going to be very indicative of where you get hired and what you get paid.

That shit already happened. Designer colleges are pretty much what we call the Ivy League Universities. Walmart brand colleges are state colleges and community colleges are the Dollar Tree Universities

 

[The Dude]

Dumb as fuck when you consider that criminals don’t care about the law … that’s why they’re criminals. So they’ll get guns anyway and then shoot you while you can’t defend yourself.

If you don’t like guns don’t get guns.

Gun control isn't about "gun safety" or curbing homicides. It's about disarming decent, law abiding citizens so they can't mount an armed resistance to the destruction of American culture. The same people always pushing for gun control are the same people who want to end free speech. They want you disarmed, voiceless, and utterly helpless. They want us powerless as they bring about their Gay Space Communist Utopia.

See, none of what you say matters. You already lost from the first sentence of your whiny spergout.

Your as delusional

Thank you for confirming the innate superiority of White Christians.

We are debating organized labor in the thread about a stabbing murder, and in the basket weaving thread we're debating philology.

Japan is the way it is because of it's culture, not their genes.

Adding on to this, Japan uniquely once employed seppuku as a method of gaining/maintaining social currency. Here's my pet theory: Imagine if every race started with a baseline tribal appreciation for izzat. Now, consider all the various coping mechanisms that societies across the world have employed solely to deal with concepts like "honor," "face," "respect," and any other vague variations of izzat in general. Christian Europe employed Christian sin and repentance. Japan developed an honor system that included killing yourself.

Now, imagine niggers. Imagine a single niglet, the average New York hoodrat porch monkey nignog nigger, jumping up and down in your face trying to provoke a fight because you politely asked him to turn down his boombox's volume on the crowded train. Sadly, in the real world, niggers did not develop any form of izzat-suppression. Instead, real niggers let the izzat flow, blasting other hoodrats in drive-bys over anything as small as spilled Kool-Aid. But for now, imagine if you pushed back on this theoretical jiggaboo just a little bit more just to achieve critical dishonor levels. Instead of engaging in full chimpout theatrics to resolve this disrespect you're showing him, he instead suddenly got the urge to sprint to his daimyo's territory and prepare himself for ritual suicide in order to correct this stain that he himself has brought upon his entire clan's honor. Hey! Look at that! One less nigger chimping out! The gene pool is saved!

Thus is the crux of my theory: The greatest societies have been slowly weeding out their own chimpout behaviors. Culture changed our own genetics - perhaps vice versa, at some point, maybe. Effectively, Christianity's original sin wasn't actually about some apple, it was actually about Adam's original instinct to ooga booga chimpout and Eve's original instinct to abort thay keedz n save mo money fo dem programz. Japan associated the thug life with killing yourself, but in a cool way that makes you forget that your genetic legacy might immediately die with you, so all the chinkniggatry they may have once been infested with quickly died out too. So with sufficient amounts of socially-enforced self-punishment, the first world evolved itself through natural selection. All thanks to self-deniggering.

It looks like the Anthony family have another GSG up.

Yes, of course it's racism that got The Watermelon Felon convicted. But let's see how the money's flying in, shall we?



... Oh... Oh no. Looks like the jig is up and not even the hardcore supporters are donating to the Escalade fund.

Now that I constructed the post and am looking through it, I can't escape the feeling this might be someone else trying to grift off of the situation. Why would that be the picture they put up? Why would this fundraiser have basically zero interaction with it? I'm sure if the family advertised it on their social media somewhere at least a few thousand would fly in. I guess I'm still pressing that Post Reply button and let the herd decide on its legitimacy.

 

[Hooked on phobics]

You can't explain applachia

Poverty, malnutrition and excessive toxins from mining. Seriously mining releases vile toxins, and miners are usually by nature of being miners, low status, and bring said toxins into their communities, ie Appalachia.

can't explain the failure of white Christian leadership.

Intentional sabotage, and psi ops pushing suicidal empathy, expansion of nihilistic and homosexuals people in society, ect. I will note btw these kinda tactics aren't even generally employed if one isn't first successful.

American Black Culture has been America's greatest export.

Fucking lol. I would of said automotive, weapons, military operations, aerospace, or software. Nah, nigger babble, that's our export.

looks like the Anthony family have another GSG up.

Isn't this like the 3rd put up??

I encourage it honestly, it grifts money from low iq nogs to other low iq nogs who will just waste it. It stimulates the economy

Crazy because all those “influencers” grifted plenty off that verdict.

Also how can they not afford a lawyer for appeal if they raised $650k and the lawyer for the trial cost $200k?

Maybe those parents should be investigated for fraud. And if they were using those funds for personal reasons and are taking welfare, for fraud there too.

Bad news is Karmelo’s lawyers were pretty inept and didn’t object to a lot of questions that were pretty objectionable. Hopefully that doesn’t create an avenue for appeal.

 

[The Last Stand]

“Huh huh Austin’s dad is a cuck for not saying Heil Hitler hang the darkie on TV before the trial”.
I hope to God that none of you ever lose a child and are forced to navigate a sociological minefield just so the open and close murder of them is prosecuted as such.

From that, I've begun to have seething contempt for this "culture war." People's lives are affected by this through various ways, yet all people wish to do is illicit reactions on the Internet, or worse, coarsely express their sociopathic ways for everybody to see.

A son's life was taken from somebody that managed to raise $600,000 and blow it for themselves. Meanwhile, an understandably guilty verdict resulted in a demographic of people becoming mask off in expressing their concentrated hatred towards white people and the family.

If all people want to do is exploit it to shout racial epithets, then nothing will get resolved. A family lost their son, everybody knows about it, and they're the ones being vilified for whatever asinine reason. On top of everything else, I wonder how normal people are able to deal.

The poorest White neighborhood has a lower violent crime rate than the richest black one.

 

[Hallucinogenic Penguin]

Even most of Reddit wasn’t having it with this case. It seems like groids really are losing whatever social capital they had left.

It seems that way too even if you’re being optimistic rated.

If this had happened 6 years ago, Karmelo would have walked free on self defense charges and he and his family probably would have gotten royalties from a Netflix film that would have showed him as a victim.

This time? There is no black squares on Instagram. No commercials. No politicians kneeling. No mass scale fiery but mostly peaceful protests.

The only ones defending him are Afro centrist We Wuzzie niggers and the occasional SSRI eyed white liberal.

The fatigue definitely is real and the nogs have only themselves to blame.

Nigs really are trying to fight with Jeets to see who will reach critical mass fatigue first.

And it wans't only GSG. they also sold merchandize with 'Free Melo' and other slogans. Seems like they turned their son into a money slave. Blacks doing slavery. Some things never change

It’ll be blacks. Indians are weird, overly horny scammers but you won’t find them assaulting randoms on the street or blasting apartment complexes with Glock switches.

 

[saintJogger]

They bought a 150k Esacalade and rented a McMansion. And the defense lawyer cost 250k.

Maybe those parents should be investigated for fraud. And if they were using those funds for personal reasons and are taking welfare, for fraud there too.

They're not on welfare. The dad of the family is a financial advisor in some car sales place, they're a middle class family. It's all in this thread, I suggest you read it.
