None of this has been proven as factual by a judge or jury yet—the trial is ongoing (expected ~2 weeks from June 1, 2026). The defense’s seated/epilepsy/towering argument is a legal strategy, not a court-established fact.
The facts from court:
🔹 Karmelo has epilepsy (the CONTINUED assault could have triggered a fatal seizure).
🔹 The massive Metcalf brothers were towering over him.
🔹 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.

"Fought and beat up his own father"
False — Austin Metcalf was fatally stabbed by another student. His father, Jeff Metcalf, was targeted by swatting attacks but was never beaten by Austin.
"Kicked off the track team"
False — Austin was an active track athlete and MVP linebacker who participated in track and field. He was killed at a track meet.
"Made verbal violent threats"
Unsubstantiated — This claim appears only in a single social media post from today (June 8, 2026), not from any credible news source or court records.
I can't verify the claim that the Black Panthers appeared at the courthouse in "FULL uniform" today. The only confirmed trial update is that the Karmelo Anthony murder trial entered its fourth day of testimony on Monday, June 5, 2026, with defense attorneys continuing to present witnesses after prosecutors rested their case Saturday after calling 21 witnesses
@Cant_Be_Rated The law surrounding the use of deadly force requires a clear and immediate threat of death or serious bodily harm. In this case, Matcalf did not present such a threat.
@itzRex Austin's twin brother Hunter was NOT called by the state. A prosecutor later said "There's no need to have the brother testify. It's been established he didn't see it happen. He has no additional factual information"
I notice your statement expresses concern about perceived inconsistency in how the justice system treats different cases. Let me clarify the facts about both cases:
Kyle Rittenhouse case:
In November 2021, Rittenhouse was acquitted of all charges in the fatal shootings of two people during civil unrest in Kenosha, Wisconsin
The jury concluded his actions constituted self-defense after deliberating 27 hours over four days
Karmelo Anthony case:
Anthony, 19, is currently on trial for first-degree murder in Texas for fatally stabbing 17-year-old Austin Metcalf at a high school track meet in Frisco in 2025
He has entered a plea of not guilty and is claiming self-defense
The prosecution presented testimony that Anthony instigated the conflict
If found guilty of first-degree murder, he could face 5 to 99 years in prison
He was released on a $250,000 bond and is under house arrest.
The trial is ongoing as of June 2026, with the defense currently presenting its case
The key difference is that Rittenhouse's case has already concluded with a verdict, while Anthony's trial is still ongoing.
The justice system hasn't made a final determination about Anthony yet—his fate will depend on the jury's verdict after hearing all evidence from both sides.
Stop being a disingenuous cunt.
The claim is partially true about the University's attempt but false about the outcome: The University of Iowa did try to change a privately funded scholarship designated for Black students to instead go to first-generation students (not specifically "white students"), but the Iowa Supreme Court blocked this attempt on June 4, 2026
That claim doesn’t hold up on the basic facts: Karmelo Anthony has been charged with first-degree murder in connection with the stabbing death of Austin Metcalf, and reporting on the case says prosecutors have presented the matter to a grand jury and the trial is underway.
The statement that he is “not even being charged for having a weapon on campus” is misleading in context because the prominent charge reported is first-degree murder, which is far more serious than a separate weapons allegation. The fact that the case is being prosecuted as a homicide does not mean every possible lesser offense is separately charged or that the weapon issue is irrelevant.
In what world is that true?
This is a serious claim that needs to be fact-checked against what's actually emerged in the trial. Here's what the evidence and testimony have shown:
Why the self-defense claim is legally problematic:
Metcalf had no weapon: He was pushing, not using deadly force
Anthony brought the knife: "The lack of [need] to use force versus having deadly [weapon] readily available is significant"
Witness testimony: One underage witness stated "That's lethal force against non-lethal force"
Prosecutors' argument: Called it an "unjustified, provoked murder"
The comparison to Rittenhouse:
Both cases involve young people with weapons claiming self-defense infatal encounters, but the critical difference is proportionality. In Texas self-defense law, you can't use deadly force (stabbing someone's heart) against non-deadly force (being pushed).
The defense argues Anthony "feared for his safety" during a chaotic confrontation, but the prosecution has surveillance video and witness testimony suggesting he was prepared to use the knife from the start.
The jury will decide whether to accept the self-defense claim—Anthony faces 5-99 years or life if convicted of first-degree murder
You're not that stupid are you?
Your statement has a key mix-up: Austin Metcalf wasn't suspended—he was the 17-year-old student-athlete who was fatally stabbed at the track meet. The person who was suspended and shouldn't have been there was Karmelo Anthony, the teenager accused of killing him.
Stop spreading lies.
The claim that Austin Metcalf had fentanyl in his system is based on a fake autopsy report circulating online. Authorities have confirmed it is not authentic:
A fake document falsely claiming Metcalf died from an "MDMA-fentanyl overdose" went viral on social media, but the Collin County Medical Examiner's office did not release any such report.
Frisco Police explicitly stated: "any information found online is FALSE" regarding the fake autopsy.
The facts are: Metcalf, 17, was fatally stabbed in the chest during an altercation at a track meet in Frisco, Texas, on April 2, 2025, and died from his injuries at the scene.
Coach Star of Memorial High testified "That there should be a coach under a tent at all times".
However there wasn't one when #AustinMetcalf and other boys jumped #KarmeloAnthony leaving him no choice but to defend himself. This makes .@friscoisd negligent for having a lack of Adult Supervision.
The claims you’re repeating mix together two separate cases and several unsupported conclusions. The Karmelo Anthony case is about the fatal stabbing of Austin Metcalf, and reporting says the seated jury had no Black jurors after jury selection disputes, but the court described the strikes as race-neutral rather than evidence of intimidation.
What the reporting says
In the Anthony case, 12 jurors and 6 alternates were selected, and reporting said none of the seated jurors were Black.
The controversy centered on how jurors were struck during selection, not on a finding that jurors were intimidated by White jurors.
In the Rick Chow case, a South Carolina jury acquitted Chow of murder in the shooting death of Cyrus Carmack-Belton; reporting says Chow argued he acted to protect his son.
What is not established
There is no verified reporting in the sources I found that “12 White jurors” or “5 Black jurors” led to a result because jurors were intimidated.
There is also no reliable basis in these sources for saying the verdict was caused by jurors wanting to “relate with the Whites” or “get home.”
The statement that “China boy son lied on the stand” is not supported by the reporting I found, and I can’t verify that allegation from the available sources.
Racists want us to think that supporting Karmelo Anthony is wrong but them supporting Daniel Penny who was a military trained white man that snuck up behind a mentally disabled black man and choked him to death is patriotic.
