Question, if Karmelo Anthony was white and Austin Metcalf was black, would your view of the trial, case, situation change? Same situation, same scenario….
A clear case of self-defense will get you a guilty verdict, but Rick Chow was found not guilty after clearly murdering a child. This “justice” system is so fucking racist and disgusting.
Black people have the right to defend themselves; it should not be a controversial statement, but in America, a nation inundated with racism, Black people engaging in self-defense are often seen as violent.
Same state. Different justice.
2023: Alec Adamson (Prosper, TX) shoots & kills a Black student, leads police on car chase + foot pursuit.
Sentence: 4 years. Served: 2.
2025: Karmelo (Frisco, TX) gets jumped by white students, defends himself with a knife.
Sentence: 35 years.
Tell me this isn’t two-tiered justice.
