The “all-white jury” narrative about the Karmelo Anthony trial is a lie.
It was 7 white jurors out of 12 and the others were 3 Asian women, a Hispanic man, and a Middle Eastern woman in a hijab. Zero Black jurors? Yes. All white? No. That’s media spin.
“Jury of peers” means impartial citizens from the local community, not a racial match to the defendant.
The Constitution doesn’t require skin color quotas. Facts over feelings.
Context: when you travel via charter in the U.S. this is a common practice.
Dozens of times when traveling back home from a game with NYCFC we all get randomly selected on the tarmac to be searched because the busses go straight to the plane, not a terminal.
There is a lot of crap happening at the World Cup, this isn’t one of them.
FRISCO: Karmelo Anthony BLM protest is heating up outside the Frisco court house
Random supporters are approaching white people like myself and screaming at us
Lots of anti-white racial slurs being thrown around. I’ve already been threatened and assaulted along with my crew
Yep. It’s a story that almost none of the British or American media are covering ahead of this World Cup..
I’m outside the Estadio Azteca right now and it’s absolutely mental. Riot police everywhere. Tensions building.
In the city centre there are thousands of tents blocking the streets. This could massively affect the opening game at the Azteca on Thursday.
She is a racist pos. It wasn't an all White jury.
Asians, Middle Easteners and Hispanics sat on that jury. 21+ witnesses including 6 Black kids all confirmed that Karmelo was the agressor and that he was never in any danger.
An ethnicly diverse jury agreed that the evidence showed Karmelo was guilty of murder.
Stop being an ignorant racist piece of shite.
The irony here is 4 inches deep…
Karmelo Anthony’s own family members cursed out and assaulted a journalist @ElijahSchaffer simply for standing near their tent in a public space.
Yet those same family members are passionately defending Karmelo for refusing to leave another person’s tent after being repeatedly told to get out — and decided to stab Austin Metcalf in the chest.

I’ve been to a million Celtics/Heat games in Miami, wearing all Celtics gear. The biggest organic rivalry in the NBA the last 15 years. True sports hatred. Big playoff games, buzzer beaters and elimination games. No one ever bothered me. Walked the streets of Miami and felt completely safe. This isn’t a sports thing. NYC is just filled with the most vile, gutter, ghetto trash. They deserve nothing but the worst
School messed up big time claiming they ‘didn’t know.’
Testosterone cypionate is a Schedule III controlled substance. You don’t just leave prescription vials (even empty ones) out in a high school Pride display like party decorations.
A locked case doesn’t make it okay either.
Would love to hear actual arguments for why this belongs in a public school around kids—not ‘free speech’ copes. This is basic safety and common sense.
Pierce County Sheriff Keith Swank was not playing around. His detectives seized the testosterone vials this morning. We've obtained these images. A key question will be whether they belong to a teacher or student.
