The gag order lifted. And the mask came off with it.
After sentencing, Austin Metcalf’s father Jeff Metcalf went live on TikTok and was caught on a racist rant about Karmelo Anthony, including calling him a “watermelon felon,” saying Black people get “all the free sh*t we give you,” claiming “400 years ago someone sold you to us,” and attacking Black fathers for not being involved in their children’s lives.
This is the same man who stood in that courtroom and said “this was never about race.”
The prosecution struck every qualified Black juror from the panel. A gag order silenced public response for nearly a year. And the moment the muzzle came off, this is who he showed us he was.
Karmelo Anthony did not get a fair trial. And now the victim’s own father has confirmed in his own words what this community has known from the beginning.

@JPFinlayNBCS They aren’t desperate and there is no need for them to be desperate. They have Terry, a promising rookie, and other guys that can play. It’s June not September. Plenty of time to improve the team if they think that they can get a good deal on someone who can improve the team.
@orleansway I don’t think we can hold anyone up to be perfect. He experienced trauma as a child and it clearly affected his emotional makeup. And his relationships with everyone. But his contribution to the world was Earth Wind and Fire. That can never be forgotten.
@Russellmania621@team980 So you have close to 20 million that would have to come back to us. So you probably would add Wiggins or Joe and another player and maybe a late or future first.
@DCsportsftw2 I don’t know if you can conclude that by this. But he’s definitely used to being “the guy”. But I have never heard anyone describe him as selfish.
