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.

When will that be?

That is the most important question!

What would make "reparations"?
What would make "equality"?
What, exactly, would "compensation" look like?

What would a world of perfect racial justice look like? One in which everyone can be treated equally?

They cannot describe it.

When there exist no conditions for winning the game, I will refuse to play.

I say give them the reparations. If they think they each deserve some SMALL amount of money give it to them.

Reparations are a philosophical paradox they are too retarded to understand.

If society is racist, as they claim, than that means that by nature, whites hold all the power and opportunity.

Therefore, which race is disproportionately likely to BENEFIT as a recipient of the money that is ultimately given to the blacks? In other word, when they blow their small sum of money on chains, guns, 40s, weed, Yeezys, and iPhones, which race disproportionately wins?

If they’re right, reparations is actually the biggest giveaway to white people ever, couched in free money for blacks.

Also, if you believe that blacks are impacted by systemic racism and are therefore not as well educationally equipped, then you by extension don’t believe they are capable of handling that money in a way that is reflective of personal finance skills.

So therefore this is how it plays out:

1. Give money to blacks
2. Most blacks immediately blow it, money all flows to whites, but also the money outflow naturally creates inflation which degrades the value of the money they were just given.
3. Blacks go back to being poor because they’ve blown their money
4. Reparations have been given, therefore blacks can no longer claim to be disadvantaged by racism because the reparations supposedly corrected that.
5. All future generations of blacks have no claim to racism based on the reparations paid today.

Seems like victory in 5 steps to me.

Wrong, they'd just say they need more reparations since obviously the first batch wasn't enough.

 

[wierfrost87]

The payment will be conditioned as a one-time payment.

So they can take the money and that’s it or they can keep being victims.

Knowing their nature, I think it’s a harder choice than you think, but ultimately they will take the money if you make it enough money.

Remember, a dollar today is worth much less than a dollar 100 years from now. We our doing future generations of whites a big service by wiping out any claims to black victimhood for what will be essentially nothing down the line.

This is a true meritocracy

They went mask-off several years ago ー they despise and violently reject the very concept of meritocracy, not just our necessarily-flawed implementation of it (for nepo-babies are a thing), but the idea itself that the competent should be in positions of power.

Many have noted that SJWs hate beauty and worship ugliness, and this anti-life philosophy of theirs extends to everything: intelligence, professionalism, order, self-discipline, talent...

Affirmative Action was clearly Unconstitutional, but, we only need it for just a teeny lil' bit and we'll have equality and can get rid of it!

Abortion was clearly Unconstitutional, but, we only need it for just a teeny lil' bit and we'll have equality and can get rid of it!

Racial Favoritism in admissions was clearly Unconstitutional, but, we only need it for just a teeny lil' bit and we'll have equality and can get rid of it!

All of them stuck around for 30, 40, 50 years and were finally ended when the USSC said "if it was going to work? It would've worked by now"

And the proponents howled that we couldn't do that, we'll NEVER get to luxury gay space communism if we didn't keep ignoring the fact none of that shit was legal or helping.

Step 4 will never happen, they will claim it wasn't enough, so, that wasn't REAL reparations and out come the open palms again, and again, and again and again.

Like all the evergreen lefty ideas that are pitched as "fixing society in this one easy step we could do tomorrow!" that promise to only be needed once? Like one-time slavery reparations, or immigrant amnesty or debt forgiveness or whatnot?

It'll have to be used over and over and over when that one-and-only-once time fails to be the magic fix. Just like we said.

He will never get parole as long as any of the Metcalf family are alive. Wouldn't be surprised to see him committing offenses while in prison, garnering even more years.

oh, me neither. I could use all the slurs and racist stereotypes in my comments here but those are too easy. given this precedent of behavior, I can make all sorts of theories and hypotheticals regarding his behavior in prison and the possible outcomes, but people do and can change regardless of their skin color and cultures of behavior.

my mind keeps going back to a case I listened to years ago, where a black girl who was like 15 got several of her friends to torture and murder a white old woman who was the stereotype; she volunteered at her church, played piano, taught piano, baked cookies for the school and neighborhood, etc.

her final words to the black girl? "you'll be sorry."

the girl spent 20 years in prison, iirc, after a rough few years, changed her behavior and adapted. model prisoner. Used her time wisely. got out, got into some management position at some place, made decent money. but the memories were there. after two years inside, someone found her body hanging from a tree, suicide note stating she couldn't escape that woman's face after she was killed. her guilt and regret, coupled with what I stated in my initial comment, that shadow of her crime never could escape her. the excerpt from wikipedia:

"committed suicide on May 26, 2015, evidently out of remorse. Shortly before her suicide, Cooper wrote to her fiancé, "I have taken a life and never felt worthy.""

Paula Cooper and the murder of Ruth Pelke is an interesting one. doesn't mean her nor Karmelo aren't monsters who deserved everything that happened to them, however.

Nigga Moments come at you fast and hard, I guess.

This is the problem: you expect them to understand and accept the logic.

They cannot even understand it.

In any case, this is social blackmail, and blackmailers never go away. They only increase their demands when paid.

 

[wierfrost87]

This is the problem: you expect them to understand and accept the logic.

They don’t need to understand it. That is the point.

WE need to understand it, not THEM.

Once we’ve paid the reparations, we can eternally dismiss any future claims to reparations as “sorry, we already gave you reparations, you don’t get any more.”

We’ve never been trying to justify reparations to blacks. We’ve just been caught amongst whites as to whether to pay them or not. Once that is resolved because they’re paid, that conflict isn’t there anymore.

And like I said, remember that by their logic, we are really giving that money to ourselves by giving it to them.

Provided we are not giving them land, and just money, it’s a lot less than people realize. Land appreciates in value, money depreciates in value. By giving them money today, they are guaranteed spending it in a way that will make it of little if any value tomorrow.

They will just ask for more and more reparations 24/7 or claim the original wasn't enough. They already get infinite welfare and EBT, yet they are always still asking for more. They are not logical.

Getting a free flatscreen and pair of Jordans from the government.

I’d be willing to pay every black person $25,000 in a lump sum payment if they permanently forfeited their right to collect EBT, Medicaid, section 8 etc in the future and up it to $50,000 if they chose to sterilize themselves lol

 

[Lady Bizness]

Austin wasn't and never was a slave owner.

Karmelo wasn't and never was a slave.

This is why epigenetics are being purposely misinterpreted and leaned into these days. It's so they can claim that generational trauma is real and that genetically you are an oppressor and there's nothing you can do about it except die.

 

[The best and greatest]

I say give them the reparations.

I say pay to repatriate as many of them to Liberia as possible so that they are no longer our problem and then give Liberia a bunch of money to keep them. If we have to prop up niggers I'd rather they move to and stay in mommy Africa. Any aid we give to any African country should be contingent on taking in niggers

I am going to need an explanation for this tall tale.

If I recall correctly (and people should feel free to correct me as I'm fuzzy on this), Ryan's hubby was running for the same Senate seat. Unfortunately, hubby was also into swinging, and Jeri Ryan wasn't. Which led to them getting divorced.

Now, by all accounts the divorce was fairly civilized and the records were quietly sealed. But when hubby came up against King Nigger, suddenly the divorce proceedings mysteriously leaked to the media.

For the record, I don't think it was Jeri who did it. There was plenty of DNC gay ops and let's be honest, we've seen a lot of that shit over the last 20 years. But it pretty much torpedoed her ex's political career and cleared the way for Barry.

IIRC they weren't leaked by her. They were unsealed and released to the public by a judge as part of some bs lawsuit. Both of them objected to them being unsealed because the records were originally sealed to protect their minor child.

 

[Gurney Halleck]

I am going to need an explanation for this tall tale.

Jeri Ryan was married to a businessman named Jack Ryan during most of the 90s until she divorced him. When Jack Ryan ran for the Illinois Senate seat in 2004 as the Republican frontrunner against Obama his divorce records were unsealed which revealed he was a Rekieta-tier degenerate who wanted to swing with her in public sex clubs. This killed his campaign and the Illinois GOP proceeded to nominate someone else who lost to Obama in a blowout. Obama later claimed that if he'd lost that election he was going to quit politics altogether. Now I'm pretty sure Obama would've won anyway but people like to make the joke that he wouldn't have if Jeri Ryan's ex-husband wasn't a degenerate cuckold.

 

[MonkeyBaby]

Karmelo supporters keep talking about the fucking knife. It was a small bullshit knife, they say, not a "deadly weapon", they say, as if that matters after someone's been killed with it.

The belt that keeps your pants up isn't a deadly weapon either, but you can still strangle someone to death with it if the opportunity arises. So what?

Maybe I'm slow, but it finally dawned on me why they keep talking about the knife and it's because they're hung up on INTENT. Karmelo's $10 Wal-Mart blade isn't the kind of thing that one uses to carry out a premeditated murder

Okay. I can see that. Karmelo likely didn't brush his teeth that morning contemplating murder.

But they don't appreciate that intent to murder can happen in a single second. And if you intended to murder in that one second of your entire life and you did it with whatever tool you had on-hand, that matters legally.
