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.

One of the big things for me is how many people are just low IQ nigger cattle. I’m not trying to be racist, I mean people who will really not question shit or believe insane shit without seeing if it’s true or not (we live in a world that is often absurd and people can be retarded or evil for very little reason or motivation). I do genuinely believe that a lot of the black people supporting Karmelo are just defaulting because they are stupid. Or they are going to”well I guess enough people are making noise about it, maybe he was being bullied.”

I don’t think these people are demoralized, but it’s peer pressure/ like locusts getting a serotonin spike. Once enough people say something, they’ll believe it because so many people believe it. A lot of them would recant if you showed them proof, but you have to compete with actual race hustlers and extremists poisoning the well.

This is just something I have noticed with the Ireland shit. It’s not the NGOs you really worry about, it’s the nigger cattle who fall for the NGO shit within seconds.

I don’t think it’s correlated with low IQ in white people pre disease manifestation. I tried to find data or studies on this, but of course I can’t. I suspect schizophrenia has multiple different causes, especially among different racial groups. This would explain how eg in Africa most people with schizophrenia regard their delusions as positive, while schizophrenia in the west is usually considered traumatic. Two different illnesses.

“The voices heard by people with schizophrenia are friendlier in India and Africa, than in the U​

Schizophrenic often develop intense xenophobia. I would imagine it’s easier to deal with when you don’t have tons of outsiders around you.

Does anyone when this first went up?

I tried searching the fundraisers by sorting them by newest, but the Karmelo one didn't show up. No idea why that is, might be be because it's been put up very recently. But I did run into something even I can't explain:



Move over, D'Aquarius, here's Shir'Damion. Every time I think niggers have given their offspring the most ridiculous name possible, they come up with a better one. This has to be some sort of competition only the people of melanin know of.

 

[Elf Supremacist]

It will amount to nothing because whites are cowards and will never dare to call a nigger a nigger to their face, so the blacks know they can get away with blatant racism like this.

You really ruin every thread you touch with the most retarded takes possible

You go into the comment section of a pro carmelo video and you will find the fucking funniest shit I swear to God.

We all know Jesus wasn't black, otherwise he would have made water into Henny instead

With crime specifically, some of the worst crimes are white on white. Shootings : Las Vegas, Sutherland Springs, Sandy Hook, Parkland, all white men killing other whites. How about Afghanistan, Iraq, Iran? Rich white men sending young white men to die for fucking Israel

This is a prime example of pointing out the outliers in a statistic and going "uh, uh, what about these ones? They do it too!"
Mentally deranged people under the thumb of the glowies and politicians under the thumb of Israel do not represent the White race as a whole the same way black crime statistics do for blacks. You are a retard for even trying to compare the two.
Furthermore, blacks kill each other more in 6 months than the KKK ever has in their entire existence.
You are a retard

 

[Xarpho's Return]

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.

I like to think that that one of the Indians on the jury was not some fresh-off-the-boat scammer/retard type but someone who owns or knows someone who owns a convenience store.

They probably have a more realistic idea of black crime than your average sheltered white liberal does.

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.

You are so right. Adam and Eve describes much of the problems with our modern world. There is an interesting distinction between what those in Eastern Orthodoxy and Catholics believe in regards to this story. While they both believe a core part of the sin was disobeying God and trying to reach enlightenment without his guidance, they differ in an important part. Orthodoxy believes that God did not want to keep enlightenment from us forever, but only achieve it when we have matured sufficiently. we were meant to grow into the knowledge from the tree of life naturally and we unnaturally grasped it. Catholics believe we were never meant for the fruit of knowledge. Further, orthodoxy believes what Catholics call original sin is Ancestral Sin. Its not our fault our ancestors stole knowledge, but its our responsibility to deal with the many after effects.

I go with the orthodox interpretation and you see how that story has repeated constantly through globalization. Whites turned to Christianity early and we built glorious kingdoms on top of that strong foundation. We came to knowledge, a branch of the tree of life, naturally. And what did we do time and time again? we went to primitive cultures and gave then our fruits which they were not ready for.

And time and time again. They despise us for the humiliation of it. maybe African tribes would turn to christianity and form modern culture in time, maybe other races would too. But we gave them our fruits before they were ready for it. That's our ancestral sin. And now these cultures act like we are the primordial evil. Blame slavery on us despite Christianity being the reason for abolition of slavery. Blame climate change, despite China and india polluting the world to unfathomable levels, blame discrimination despite christianity being the only religion that does not have a distinction between a holy class and a lower class built into to. We dont have izzat with Brahmans, there is not a God's chosen people (thats the jews, God killers), we aren't like the Muslims where we teach that you can rape and murder those who aren't Islam. Revolutionarily, we are all born equal in the eyes of God. The God. Our Christian Lord. it is not worldly things which separate us, like wealth or skin color, but the content of our character. And those closer to His Teachings carry more burden to live by His example. Becoming christian doesnt mean things get easier. The Church promises it will get harder. And our loving God came down to earth to give us a personal masterclass on how to shoulder that coming unimaginable suffering, for He loves us so much.

Our leaders gave other races/cultures the fruit of knowledge too early. Its not our fault, but we must bare responsibility for the horrific consequences.

Matthew 10:16 says: Behold, I send you forth as sheep in the midst of wolves: be ye therefore wise as serpents, and harmless as doves.

Jesus did not say, 'be ye therefore as wise as cattle, and as harmless as sheep.' He said he is sending us into a world that wants to rip us limb by limb. to be as wise as serpents. to discriminate, to weed out those nigger in spirit and keep them from hurting our herd. racism is not a sin, not in the modern interpretation. there is nothing unholy about noticing patterns and changing your behavior accordingly. to say certain people should reach higher standards than others before being allowed to go where our sheep gather. Jesus wants us to protect our communities. What i believe He meant by harmless as doves was telling us to not let the world turn us into wolves. Don’t become malicious, vengeful, deceitful, or violent. Stay gentle, sincere, and morally clean. Don't become bitter predators. protect the sheep from the wolves, but dont go out killing creatures for being wolf like. But if millions must go, then millions must go.

Christ gave us all the answers. We just need to follow them. There is no way to an eternal life for humanity, but in His footsteps.

 

[Coldgrip]

We've already hit street shitter fatigue. I'm seeing normal people bitching about them IRL, and they're even saying things that would've gotten them called racist two years ago, lmao.

When I think peak fatigue, I'm meaning jeets getting beaten in the streets and otherwise brutalized. I'd say we're at critical noticing levels.

 

[TheGoodNamesHaveBeenTaken]

Anyone remember the Karmelcorn store that used to be in the food court of every mall?

That's what I think of every time I see this young scholar's name.

 

[Xarpho's Return]

racism is not a sin, not in the modern interpretation.

Racism used to mean (and still is) treating people inherently worse because of their skin color. Actual racists—the ones who would rather deal with a white crackhead than the nice black lady who works at Burger King—are extremely rare.

Nowadays "racism" means saying anything negative about a non-white up to and including holding them accountable for actions.

 

[Bathsalts]

I do genuinely believe that a lot of the black people supporting Karmelo are just defaulting because they are stupid.

They're actually doing that because most they fall into three camps; criminals who empathize because they've been to jail, black career academics who are permanently bitter they'll never got to participate in the civil rights movement, and racial supremacists i.e black first(b1) & foundational black americans(FBA). They don't care about the context or legitimacy of the law because they're racist first and foremost.

 

[Bathsalts]

When I think peak fatigue, I'm meaning jeets getting beaten in the streets and otherwise brutalized. I'd say we're at critical noticing levels.

We'd need something that, at a minimum, is as egregious as Henry Nowak's murder to happen to reach a boiling point like that.

 

[Eekum Bokum]

in this thread you've tried to whiteknight jeets and slimes.

if you are white, you are the race traitor i hate more then the animals who are born that way.

Careful you don't cut yourself with all that edge.

 

[Taser Confetti]

Same reason Asians and Arabs learn to hate them. Nothing makes a racist faster than running a ghetto liquor store.

 

[George Lucas]

In the US there is basically no reason not to appeal a serious conviction. There is no harm that can come of it. Activist judges might throw the whole thing out on a technicality. It's a free moonshot.

This is NOT the case in other countries, btw, which is why you might be confused. The US is very unique in being a country where no harm can come from an appeal ("Double Jeopardy"). Famously, the German cannibal that got convicted appealed his conviction and the German appeals court increased his sentence. The same thing in happened recently in South Korea with a lolcow that got convicted for being a public nuisance and got a harder slap on appeals.

Civil Law countries (Napoleonic Code) can be especially retarded because of this. The ‘appeal’ can be an entirely new trial, showing the evidence again, including testimony. It forces the victims to relive what should be a closed case. It’s also expensive because of that. The common law approach is really sensible: a) was the trial done correctly? b) is there any new evidence? c) were any rights violated? That’s all it comes down to. No need to do the whole thing over (although that can happen in very specific cases where the trial was done so incompetently that it should be done over).

 

[BobbyBriggs69420]

For at least a couple decades mediabergs have lied about what self-defense is, lied about what stand your ground and other recent SD addons are in service to their "wild west cowboys" story.

Did karmelo go under that tent thinking he was going to LawyerEngineer a free killing based on his believing newsman lies, taking their propaganda at face value? And is that why he's had to stick to that as a defense strategy? Or you all think he came up with that sometime after the fact, and maybe before he asked the cop?

Plenty of people online aren't getting why it's not SD and that's a bit concerning considering we have like half of everyone in the country carrying at some time or another or something like that.

No you people just can't face facts and you lack accountability. Race has nothing to do with character. In the end it's you and every other wigger chimping out over their delusional hatred.

 

[YouGuysAren'tThatSmart]

No, he's merely a grifter. His "shit with Sam Hyde" was a Fishtank collab that was short lived and they do minimal vetting for that show. He's been convicted of robbery where someone was murdered, is a blatant animal abuser, has admitted to rape and is a woman beater. His whole schtick is being provocative and "one of the good ones."

The animal abuse is new to me. Not like it’s shocking though.

 

[MC Law]

Im shocked a Soros judge didnt give him probation

 

[Taser Confetti]

Plenty of people online aren't getting why it's not SD

Even the Redditors (besides the ones like /r/blackpeopletwitter) aren’t defending Karmelo. It’s literally just nogs and a couple of self-hating race traitors and coal burners.

In a couple of days or weeks some dirt bag will get ventilated by a cop or minority shop keeper and they’ll have a new martyr to venerate.

 

[Elf Supremacist]

you people

you

you and every other wigger

their delusional hatred

Hey, how about you post your hand and we can keep talking, that way I can know which people hold themselves accountable or whatever you were being a retard about

They understand why it’s not SD, they just pretend not to.
