The facts from court:
๐น Karmelo has epilepsy (the CONTINUED assault could have triggered a fatal seizure).
๐น The massive Metcalf brothers were towering over him.
๐น Karmelo was SEATED the entire time.
How can you be the "aggressor" while remaining seated, when YOUR life is on the line? This is 100% self-defense.
@tariqnasheed These troglodytes KNOW Karmelo is innocent.....
That's why they're trying so hard to lie and/or spread misinformation.
As well as racially railroad him in court.....
@Donna__Twitting@TakeItTakeIt89@tariqnasheed Austin was kicked off the team.
He was only there by "special reinstatement" by his coach to "provide team support".
He had ZERO authority over anybody....
According to everyone's testimony, Karmelo actually showed RESTRAINT while Metcalf harassed him..The phrase "touch me and see..." explicitly puts the ball in the other person's court. If the aggressor simply chooses not to lay their hands on the person, no physical altercation occurs. Because the outcome is entirely dependent on the aggressor making the conscious choice to initiate physical contact, the person issuing the verbal warning cannot logically be the one "provoking" the violence.
@WTX_Patriot@tariqnasheed Naw, homie....
You're not about to colonize the meaning of that meme like y'all do everything else Black people create.
You inadvertently clowned YOURSELF.
Just take the "L" and move on....
