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.

Here's what I think you're supposed to do.

Why they call it a 'maze,' I can't tell you.

I'm surprised they didn't use this as a defense exhibit; "See, Karmelo was tutoring young kids after school, he's a good guy!"

That... is not only an elegant explanation for the presence of embarrassingly-juvenile materials in his bag, but also laudatory for Karmelanin.

If you hit your head just right and your sense of morality falls out of your ears, you may wish to consider a career as a defence attorney.

Secular people without any understanding of Christianity have frequently reported seeing biblically accurate angels in their DMT trips.

I know its off topic but I like the stories about the clockwork elves, being racist

One person reported that their first trip was good, but their second trip took a turn for the worst. “This time, instead of the sacred, I was greeted with the profane, and saw cartoons of racist caricatures mocking me. They were malevolent and it felt like I could die,” they reported. “As much as the first trip was welcoming and accepting, the second trip was pushing me away and I felt a strong sense of ‘NO.'”

“My friend said that the elves were making a machine and they turned around saw him and they said hey look the (n-word) is back,” another person reported.

The most chilling experience reported so far invokes the powerful imagery of the slain Emmet Till. “I was surrounded by the elves, and they all started chanting ‘Emmett Till,'” the trip report began. “I later learned that Emmett Till was a Black man accused of harassing a white girl in the 1950s. I had never heard of this story before, being a Black man who grew up in a white school district. Then, the elves started to rush me and they all picked me up and started chanting the n-word while carrying me. The elves threw me down a black hole and I continued to fall for around 10 minutes until my trip ended.”

I remember nearly a decade ago arguing with my a woman I know about common core. She used to be an elementary teacher. Before I really knew what common core was: dumb libshit math created because of white privilege. I remember asking her "why?" Like, why are we jumping through extra hoops to teach math, what exactly does this do. Her answer was "it's just a different way of teaching math." Yeah but why is that better? No response, it's just different and different is better, apparently. She doesn't teach anymore but she is still like this. Doing fundraisers for dumb libshit stuff. The last one was a program to teach women who struggled financially some "real life skills." It was just some workshop thing where they wear hard hats with their pronouns on them and are taught how to use basic power tools. Obviously just a way for a "non profit" to make some profit.. It's all so insufferable.

If I have a kid I’m teaching them the traditional way. They can learn long division and column addition/multiplication/subtraction. That shit works and there’s no reason to do it differently.

There is no such thing as white privilege in math. And given how much dumber and more entitled blacks have become in the past 10-15 years, it’s clearly not working.

If you want blacks to learn more, fix basically everything about their culture.

 

[wierfrost87]

Purely because Karmelo was raised since birth with a victimhood mindset, in which even a reasonable request from a white person was to be seen as an inexcusable affront to his status and dignity.

This basically explains why blacks either need to shape up or ship out. Thug culture should not be welcome in our society, and unless they are willing to be well put together and educated blacks who don’t follow thug culture, we really don’t have a need for them.

Unfortunately, just like condom use, this is a foreign concept to them.

My son's school system rejected learning times tables as "rote memorization" and refused to teach it under common core. TO this day he gets some more advanced mathematics wrong due to simple multiplication mistakes.

That was the goal all along. They realized they couldn't fix the niggers IQ's so they decided to ensure that nobody would receive an education instead. Since it was impossible to make everybody equal in educational results the solution was to make everybody equally poor and retarded.

This is basically 21st century education described in a paragraph, though it applies really to all blacks and browns.

To some extent it has to do with retarded people who’ve never taught but like to virtue signal. Q

The reality is that people with resources (whites and Asians) won’t let the groomer schools retard their children and will pay money to acquire resources that fill in the gap. This creates an incentive for people to supply said resources. If the groomer schools would just teach adequately, everyone could get free resources.

DEI is literally making education DIE.

 

[LaxerBRO]

Watching this niggres comment in the case is making me more racist.

 

[Bnuny]

They scrapped Common Core because no one got any better. As always the cowardly libtard leaders quietly kill the things that don’t work rather than taking accountability.

Rather than admit that blacks are actually dumber than they were before the equity craze began, libtard “scholars” would rather dumb down education so everyone is dumber, allowing them to stay in power.

On one hand, the wholesome whites have the resources to fill in the gaps. On the other hand they’ve been co-opted into the black victimhood narrative because they’re just less retarded, not intelligent.

This is the first I've heard of Common Core being dead.

One of the scumbags that filmed urinating the grave of Austin Metcalf has been arrested. His name is Tristaun Darius Johnson (onebigrichfolkz74), and he's an aspiring rapper.

I don't think they were actually books. The few sites that went into detail about the contents of his backpack always called them "word puzzles", so I'm assuming they were individual pages, sort of like this:

[The Last Stand]

I was curious so I looked up Karmelo's high school. It sounds like the type of school you would want your kid to attend if you had to live in Texas. What I'm reading shows that Karmelo had every opportunity to succeed and was surrounded by other people who were making use of their similar opportunities, and he intentionally chose to try to be a tough gangsta even though he's a 130 pound twink who's now going to get buck broken with a mop on his head all the time in prison.

Even if he were in remedial classes, a school like this would still be a better environment than many American high schools.

There's a saying: you can take the person out of the ghetto, but you cannot take the ghetto out of the person.

Happy workers from every culture united by their class consciousness and no longer dying in the thousands in nationalistic wars; nice theory.

The modern implementation drops the whole ‘class solidarity’ part because the Marxists pushing on the west are enormously wealthy and powerful (and make a fuckton of money from it) and the very last thing they want is the peons rising against them. They spiked the Occupy movement for a reason.

Forgive me if I'm misinterpreting what you're saying, but I find Marxism to be the least self-aware ideology in existence. Supposedly, Marxism is supposed to run on redistribution of wealth, labor, and classism. However, in its current state, multiculturalism has seeped into corporatism through state sponsored mandates such as DEI and H1B1.

Think about Black History Month, Pride Month, Juneteenth, all these holidays benefit from capitalism through forced social pressure to support, tolerate or be ostracized. They call themselves legions against the state, yet they work FOR the state to behave this way.

Black American ‘culture’ has set out, over the last seventy years, to be as incompatible as possible with mainstream European-American culture. This is due to the post-WW2 educational milieu focusing on amplifying or even inventing grievance within the black community as a necessary precursor to the Marxist takeover.

I'm willing to accept that "Black guilt" had planted the seeds after the Civil Rights Movement, around the 70s. Think about how Chinese and Japanese Americans were treated around WWII. Literally sent to camps, spied on by the US government in fear of international espionage, subject to language barriers post-WWII in Los Angeles. Yet, they managed to assimilate themselves into American culture through various Chinatown districts in many American cities.

I've called Black American culture a social experiment gone horribly right since decades of government programs, internal guilt, countless amounts of welfare has worsen Black independence and prosperity into entitlement. Perhaps you could make the call that the War on Drugs, another government program has halted Black progress for a time. Now, you have George Floyd being the final nail in any sort of meaningful progress. If anything, they've proven that we cannot live together to say the least.

My dad actually taught me some "common core" stuff do do mental arithmetic easier/quicker. They somehow took a 2-3 quick 30 minute sessions with my father and turned it into months of inane schoolwork, apply it to questions that don't require it and force the kids to write it out when it's mostly tricks for simplifying mental arithmetic.

Texas parole stats. 2024 is the most recent year released. https://www.texasparoleauthority.com/texas-parole-release-statistics-and-guidelines

Worst use of a pie chart ever, lol. What was the intern thinking.

Interesting though, that about a third of parole cases for violent crimes are approved.
Is there any data on first-time parole hearings? I suspect it'll be even lower.

I couldn't find any in the report they provided, and can't find the underlying data they used

Your dad was doing common core? How old are you?

I’ve seen common core worksheets. They make no sense. Kids don’t need to understand the “why” behind everything and in fact you can explain the “why” while also teaching the traditional methods.

And as long as any of the Metcalfs are still around, this convicted murderer's parole chances = zero.

Is it just me or do I sense the indignation about this case on the part of the underclass dying down already, no pun intended?

rote memorization

Some forms of rote memorization are simply necessary, and remain the most effective means of acquiring certain fundamental skills.

It is true that there are circumstances in which in can be advantageous ー at least in the longer term ー by introducing a temporary level of additional complexity into the learning process, but basic multiplication ain't it.

TO this day he gets some more advanced mathematics wrong due to simple multiplication mistakes.

It must be infuriating to know your son's education was deliberately fucked up just so dumb niggers could feel slightly less dumb.

Since you're already MATI, having watched it, could you give me the gist?
