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.

😱😱😱 And just like that, it’s completely VANISHED from the media.
A sitting congressman, Ted Lieu, said on the record the Epstein files are being blocked because they show Trump raped and threatened to kill children.
Lets make this viral again 👇
BREAKING:
This is Gaza right now.
Israel is raining bombs on civilian areas in the middle of the night while people sleep.
Not a peep from the complicit international community, of course.
BREAKING: Congress Just Learned Something Pretty Stunning About Jeffrey Epstein’s Operation.
According to Rep. Melanie Stansbury, Epstein’s longtime executive assistant admitted her legal fees are being paid by a fund established through Epstein’s estate.
Read that again.
Jeffrey Epstein died in 2019.
Yet his money is still paying the attorneys of a key witness connected to his network.
Then came another admission.
She acknowledged helping arrange calls between Epstein and Trump, Prince Andrew, and other powerful figures.
Even now, Epstein’s money appears to be shaping who can afford legal representation and who can’t.
That’s a remarkable revelation.
Karmelo Anthony just received 35 years. A 19 year old Black kid is now facing a sentence that will take most of his adult life.
In the same state, the officers who killed Jordan Edwards, Atatiana Jefferson, and Botham Jean received less time combined than this one teenager will serve alone. That is the pattern.
When the defendant is a Black youth, the full weight of punishment drops. When the defendant wears a badge, the weight gets lighter.
You do not have to believe Karmelo is innocent to see that something is deeply off. One young man gets 35 years while those trusted with a badge keep most of their lives after taking Black life.
Remember his name and remember this number. Karmelo Anthony. Thirty five years. Let that sit with you.
OMG -- Fox News carries Raskin's opening statement during a hearing where he highlights the fraud that was Trump University and contrasts it with the SPLC
@Acyn More of this
Call them liars to their face
Laugh in their face when they're being absurd
Calmly explain why they're full of shit
Rinse and repeat relentlessly
@Acyn@TPBlue4 Charles M Blow is an absolute hero, and real journalist — this is what journalists should’ve done since the beginning of the Trump circus of lies began his first term.
Blow: The is a news show on a news channel and I have an ethical responsibility to say you are lying.
Lambert: Do not call me a liar on national TV sir! You are a liar!
Blow: You are liar.
Dear @SecRollins: You lie. The average life cycle of a Screwworm ranges from 14 to 54 days depending on temperature and humidity.
The trump Administration has been in office over 500 days.
If you can’t accept responsibility, or even apologize for messing up, you need to resign.
This is South Lebanon today.
Israel has now bombed Lebanon more than 3,500 times during a so-called “ceasefire.”
Read that again.
3,500 Israeli bombs dropped during a “ceasefire”.
Shocked that a Trump endorsed dude who loves crystals and Alex Jones and has a closing message of we should jail Karen Bass and Gavin Newsom didn’t resonate with LA liberals
