Justice? (updated)

 Well, the Karmelo Anthony trial ended yesterday and the results (which honestly seem to be on the lighter side in terms of the sentence) have brought out some fairly predictable responses from the folx you'd expect.  

1.  The myth of the "all white" jury.   There are two things to know about this.  First, at least two potential black jurors disqualified themselves by  announcing that they would be unable to find Anthony guilty no matter what the evidence said simply out of black solidarity.  Second, three of the 12 jurors were not "white" by any definition.  

 2.  The "self defense" myth.   The notion that a push (which wasn't hard enough to knock Anthony over) justified stabbing his with enough force to penetrate the sternum and triggered a self defense claim is absurd.   That even the defense witnesses couldn't make a self defense argument compelling tells us all we need to know.  

3.  The simple fact that the Anthony family raised almost a million dollars for his defense, and spent it on a house and car among other things, speaks volumes to their attitudes and to how Anthony was raised.  

Anthony was in a place he didn't belong, carrying a deadly weapon.    He refused to leave and chose to significantly escalate the confrontation.    35 years with the possibility of parole in 17.5 seems a bit light, although the fact that he was convicted so quickly and of murder is a good thing.

First, she is clearly an idiot.  

Second, the knife was literally used to kill someone, therefore is automatically a deadly weapon.

" Last thoughts on Karmelo Anthony before he disappears for a long time: - The defense only called 6 witnesses and rested abruptly - The only person to speak on his behalf during the punishment phase was his mother. - The defense didn’t even think to prepare him to testify on his own behalf Additionally, there were no teachers, counselors, church members, etc. willing to discuss his character in court and plead for him to have another chance at life. Nobody could vouch he was really a good kid and was going to be a contributing member of society someday. The jury heard closing statements, deliberated, found him guilty, then completed the punishment phase all in one day. In other words, there was no way to adequately defend or humanize this animal."

 

The levels of idiocy we are seeing in the responses to this trial are truly epic in their lack of comprehension.  The folx who are obsessed with everything being about race are going to continue to make more and more outrageous excuses to defend Anthony, and the rest of the world is going to continue to see examples of the attitude that drove this entire encounter. The responsibility rests with Anthony and his parents for this murder.

" I’m a Black man, a proud conservative, and a follower of Jesus Christ. When I see protesters outside the Collin County Courthouse chanting “FUCK WHITE LIVES!” after Karmelo Anthony’s sentencing for murdering Austin Metcalf, my soul grieves. This isn’t justice. This isn’t “community.” This is demonic hatred — plain and simple. All lives are made in the image of God. Every single one. Black, White, Brown — doesn’t matter. Celebrating the loss of any innocent life, or cheering on evil because of skin color, is straight from the pit of hell. And here’s the truth they don’t want you to say out loud: When Black conservatives, Christians, or truth-tellers like me call this out, we get labeled “traitors,” “Uncle Toms,” or “betrayers of the community.” Let them talk. I’d rather be disliked by some in my own community than stand before a Holy God and be found guilty of excusing evil, hating my neighbor, or twisting justice for racial points. My allegiance is to Christ first — not color, not tribe, not political pressure. “Woe to those who call evil good and good evil…” (Isaiah 5:20) I choose truth over tribe. Light over darkness. God over man. Who else is tired of the hate? Drop a if you stand for real justice — not skin color."

 Re: Karmelo Anthony and his defenders: "Obviously there is some blind black tribal loyalty involved, but I think there’s something else and arguably worse. The facts seem to be this: Karmelo invaded another track team’s tent. He did this to assert dominance. When asked to leave, he issued threats: “touch me and see what happens.” After repeatedly telling him that he was not welcome, and in response to provocation, Austin Metcalf pushed him, trying to get him to comply with basic social norms. Karmelo, no doubt delighted that he had now received permission for escalation under his own code, stabbed Austin to death. The black defenders of Karmelo believe this is how society should operate: an endless war of all against all to assert dominance, escalating when one’s assertions are rebuffed. They’re mad that the justice system got involved, because in their minds this is the proper way to conduct business: omnipresent dominance signaling, inevitably leading to violence. They genuinely don’t understand that other people don’t operate according to those rules. And they certainly don’t understand that our rules, by drastically reducing friction and needless cost, are the very reason for the disparities in group power they complain about. We are polite internally and can thus exert greater collective power externally. A few Karmelos in the mix destroys this system. But they don’t care that running things their way would be the end of civilization, the end of their cell phones and EBT and air conditioning, because they don’t understand it. They don’t understand anything about the modern world. They are lost here, confused. This state of affairs is not sustainable."

 "Reality: Karmelo Anthony admitted on camera, “I’m not alleged. I did it.” He brought a fucking knife to a high school track meet, planted his ass under a tent that wasn’t his, ignored every single order to leave, warned Austin Metcalf “Touch me and see what happens,” then drove that blade straight through the kid’s sternum and shredded his right ventricle. Austin bled out in seconds. Premeditated murder, no debate. Texas jury looked at the evidence for a few hours and said guilty. Yesterday they sentenced the piece of shit to 35 years. Case fucking closed. Narrative: The professional race grifters and Black Panthers outside the Collin County courthouse threw a full meltdown tantrum anyway. They screamed “THIS IS A WAR” and “racist-ass country,” while Dominique Alexander solemnly declared “Black lives do not matter in Collin County.” Others openly cheered for Austin’s twin brother Hunter to get murdered next. Then ... because reality always wins ... a Black man told the mob to “STOP CHIMPING OUT” and the entire “united front” immediately started ripping each other apart in the parking lot like starving rats. This was never about race, self-defense, or justice. It was about a violent thug with zero impulse control and parents who raised a killer. The race-hustling parasites just needed another George Floyd script to cash in on, but the cold, hard facts bitch-slapped their entire fantasy into the dirt. The jury saw murder. The mob saw opportunity. It’s getting ugly out there ... and it’s only going to get worse before it gets better."
