Will anybody in media talk about Austin Metcalf the way they talked about George Floyd? What’s more of a tragedy, a criminal overdosing on fentanyl, or a Christian, high-school, straight-A athlete murdered at a track meet?
There will be no protests.
There will be no national outrage.
In a few days, this 17 year old boy Austin Metcalf will be forgotten.
Why?
Because he is white, and the murderer is black.
White Lives Matter

Awful. This morning 17-year-old Austin Metcalf was stabbed by 17-year-old Karmelo Anthony at a track meet in Frisco. He died in his twin brother’s arms. Incomprehensible. Pray for his family.
