Why are people acting like just because no black jurors selected that it’s all white? Collin County has a huge Hispanic and Asian population too you know… 🤔

JURY UPDATE: Apparently there were no black jurors chosen for the trial of Karmelo Anthony.
And Dominique Alexander, who has acted as a spokesperson for the family, is already framing this as Karmelo Anthony “not receiving a fair trial”.
Dominique, is the same activist who previously stated that criticism of Anthony, after he fatally stabbed Metcalf, was rooted in “white supremacy” and “racism”.
As a refresher, he also has an incredibly long criminal past (including leading a protest in 2016 that ended with 5 police officers dead).
He has previously been convicted of:
-Felony injury after shaking a 2 year old child so violently that the child’s eyes and brain bled (he only spent 8 days in jail for this)
-Felony theft
-Stealing a car
-Forging a check
-Making a false police report
-Evading arrest
He is now using his platform to write the narrative that Karmelo is not receiving a fair trial and has utilized this entire trial to stoke racial tensions.
Karmelo Anthony’s attorney Mike Howard (pictured below) keeps repeating to potential jurors that under Texas law, it’s not illegal to have a knife under five and a half inches in a public place. Anthony was armed with a knife the day he killed Austin Metcalf at a high school track meet.
HOWEVER, Karmelo Anthony was not in a public place. The fatal stabbing happened on Frisco ISD property. School-sponsored events are classified as prohibited places for weapons, not public spaces.
TEXAS- I’m outside of the Collin county courthouse for day 3 of Karmelo Anthony’s trial where protesters are chanting “self-defense is not a crime”
I walked up to ask if any of them wanted to interview and was immediately intimidated and told to leave.
🚨 BREAKING: Slain 18YO white male Henry Nowak's father just WENT OFF, saying the killer stabbed his son and police did NOTHING despite his imminent death
"Henry told officers he could not breathe **9 times**." 😢
He says the police FAILED and refused to believe him. The killer is now jailed.
WHERE IS THE OUTRAGE?! BARBARIAN.
"Henry was pulled across the gravel his hands forced behind his back and he was placed in handcuffs. Instead of being treated as a dying victim the police formally arrested Henry for assault and read in his rights. That was the last thing he heard."
"Henry had been stabbed multiple times and as his chest filled with blood he tried to escape. He was chased, abused and filmed...when police arrived Henry was lying on the floor fairly able to sit up and plainly in severe medical distress. With his final words he told officers that he could not breathe. He told them he had been stabbed."
"The police have said they were misled by the murderers and that the scene when they arrived was complex."
"Unfortunately it seems to us the truth is much simpler. The police were told by our son himself and by a member of the public...but the police did not believe that."
"As a family we will not let this go. No other family should experience the heartbreak and horror of losing a child to knife crime."
"Finally, I want Henry to know. We are so proud of him and we love him." 🙏🏻
@GaryRCaimen@SarahisCensored “Allegedly” to what? Her covering since the beginning or Karmelo stabbing Austin? You can sort through her timeline and see when she started covering, and as far as Karmelo- his own police statement was “it’s not alleged. I did it.”
