On behalf of me, #VickiDillard, and The Vicki Dillard family, I extend condolences 💐 to MOTHER KHADIJAH FARRAKHAN, wife of the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan. 🤲🏾 {A formal condolence letter will be mailed in due course.}
According to witness testimony, one of Austin Metcalf's teammates Eddie Parra knew Karmelo and INVITED Karmelo over to the tent. Eddie even confirmed in his testimony he knew Karmelo & dapped him up when Karmelo came to the tent. So that destroys the prosecution's "hostile stranger" lie they are trying to pin on Karmelo
White supremacists regurgitating the 'he was told to leave 15 times' excuse are deliberately ignoring Texas law. An innocent person has absolutely zero duty to retreat from a hostile aggressor. Karmelo’s actions were lawful self-defense—the law proves he is innocent.
According to everyone's testimony, Karmelo actually showed RESTRAINT while Metcalf harassed him..The phrase "touch me and see..." explicitly puts the ball in the other person's court. If the aggressor simply chooses not to lay their hands on the person, no physical altercation occurs. Because the outcome is entirely dependent on the aggressor making the conscious choice to initiate physical contact, the person issuing the verbal warning cannot logically be the one "provoking" the violence.
According to testimony today, not only was Karmelo invited to come over to the tent, Karmelo ASKED if it was ok for him to sit there. I’m so glad the truth is coming out so these alt-right trolls can stop lying about this case. Karmelo is innocent
According to more testimony, Austin allegedly threatened Karmelo by saying something about wanting to "beat his ass"..
So this further shows Austin Metcalf was the verbal aggressor and PHYSICAL aggressor in the entire altercation.
Karmelo is 100% innocent
The alt-right types keep asking "why didn't Karmelo LEAVE when he was ordered by Austin to leave?". This is because in the system of white supremacy, they believe all white people are DEPUTIZED to arbitrarily give orders to random Black people that MUST be obeyed
