Karmelo Anthony was clearly guilty of murder.
This was obvious to nearly all Americans.
But the black community strongly disagreed, rallying to the side of a killer out of racial solidarity.
This may have worked to save Karmelo five years ago. But no more. As I argue in my latest column, the public disgust with the scenes outside of the courthouse and with comments made by Jasmine Crockett may prove disastrous for black public reputation. https://t.co/09ASfkr3HU
The fact that the Boondocks has aged like fine wine... is not beautiful or good...
It's freakin' tragic, I mean Goddammit, it barely feels like a day has passed.

I agree that you should keep your hands to yourself and Austin ideally should have gotten security instead of touching Karmelo first. None of that has anything to do with the verdict or even morals. Someone putting their hands on you or even pushing you is not justification for stabbing them. There’s just no way to make that work. You do not get to stab people because they shoved you. Being shoved actually puts distance between you and the other person, if you move forward to then stab them that is not self defense and it’s an insane level of escalation.
@GarettJones Russell is an impressive man of history. He was a brilliant, industrious and focused legislator who took his job seriously. I wish people with his mentality ran our governments again.
As I predicted, Karmelo Anthony was found guilty of murder. From the facts presented, this always appeared to be a straightforward case. It’s unfortunate that the discussion became centered on race when the core issue was that a person was killed without legal justification.
This is the voice of the silenced speaking loud and clear. UK citizens voted over an over to halt mass migration, but the political elites spat in their face and doubled it (look at the post-Brexit Boriswave) and then arrests anyone who wants to air the grievances.
