Daniel Penny strangled Jordan Neely on a subway over words and somehow that’s self defense but when Austin Metcalf physically assaulted and intimidated Karmelo Anthony the goal post magically got moved.
Same state. Different justice.
2023: Alec Adamson (Prosper, TX) shoots & kills a Black student, leads police on car chase + foot pursuit.
Sentence: 4 years. Served: 2.
2025: Karmelo (Frisco, TX) gets jumped by white students, defends himself with a knife.
Sentence: 35 years.
Tell me this isn’t two-tiered justice.
There's a lot of lessons to be learned from the Karmelo Anthony case, especially for our children.... But one I hope doesn't go overlooked is WATCH WHO YOU CALL YOUR FRIENDS!!!! Karmelo was called to that tent by someone he THOUGHT was his friend. Defense attorney showed multiple pictures of them together... But he came to testify AGAINST KARMELO. He "allegedly" recorded the whole thing. But then said he was only "pretending to record* and when he was showing his phone to everyone for them to see "He was only showing Karmelo ig page" be fucking fr. This young man you think is your friend, you've been around kicking it multiple times, call you to come sit with him. He's first laughing at you when you're getting bullied. He pulls out his phone to record you getting bullied. Then when you protect yourself AND HE HAS THE EVIDENCE THAT CAN SAVE YOUR LIFE he deletes it and then testify against you. Because the bullies are more popular and goes to the same school..... Please be careful who you call your friends YOUR LIFE COULD LITERALLY DEPEND ON IT!!!
We as black ppl should honestly be FURIOUS right now. Some of y’all don’t even understand what they’re doing right in front of our eyes & it’s sickening!
Karmelo Anthony has recieved more time (35 years) than George Zimmerman (no time), Daniel Penny (no time), Derek Chauvin (22.5 years), Amber Guyger (10 years) & Rick Chow (no time) COMBINED. This is unacceptable to any sane thinking, no racist person.
Rich Chow was not guilty, but Karmelo Anthony was. If that doesn’t show you the state of the world and why we HAVE to start showing up to perform our civic duties, idk what else to say.
