The judge, jury, prosecutor, and even Karmelo Anthony’s defense attorney were all paid off and conspired against Karmelo Anthony. The students who recorded the incident who testified also deleted the video, making the case even more difficult for the defense. This will be found out to be true eventually, which is serious constitutional concerns, and Karmelo Anthony should be released.
If he was a same age yt boy the jury & courts would give him a not guilty or a light sentence because-
‘he’s just a child w/ so much potential’
America’s 2 tier justice is bad joke designed to keep the global minority on top
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.
Fascism does not arrive saying “I am fascism.” It arrives saying “law and order,” “border security,” “anti-woke,” “election integrity,” and “national emergency.”
Our kids are dying. And they laugh.
During a debate on requiring safe storage of guns, a senior House Republican clapped and laughed at their inaction on gun safety.
This is not normal. This should never be normal.
If the governments job isn’t to secure even basic shit like clean drinking water for its citizens, what’s its actual purpose?! THIS IS WHAT WE WANT OUR TAXES PAYING FOR
Black people SHOULD NOT riot over this unjust guilty verdict. What we need to do is put pressure on the Supreme Court to review this case. He was not tried by a jury of his peers. His constitutional rights were violated.
If you’re Asian in USA you can chase a black boy down 150 yards shoot him in the back kill him and still walk free.
If you’re Black in USA even if you’re attacked by 2 White boys bigger than you you can’t defend your life or you’ll be found guilty.
System was never for us.
Let me be clear about what just happened in the Karmelo Anthony verdict. Because the celebration is traveling and the discrepancies aren't.
FACT: Karmelo Anthony was found guilty of murder and sentenced to 35 years.
FACT: The jury deliberated for less than 3 hours.
FACT: There were zero Black jurors on this jury.
FACT: The prosecution used peremptory strikes to remove 100% of eligible Black jurors while keeping a white educator after claiming they didn't want educators on the jury.
FACT: Karmelo Anthony never stood up. The confrontation happened while he was seated. Austin Metcalf was standing over him.
FACT: The jury had the option to choose manslaughter. They chose murder.
FACT: The "sudden passion" defense which would have capped the sentence at 2 to 20 years was rejected.
FACT: Karmelo Anthony's mother was the only witness called during the punishment phase. She asked for mercy. The prosecutor responded: "Mercy to the guilty is cruelty to the innocent."
FACT: Karmelo Anthony will be eligible for parole after serving half his sentence, roughly 17.5 years. He is 19 years old.
Now ask yourself, if the races and sizes were reversed, if Karmelo was 6'1" standing over a seated smaller white teenager who reached up with a knife, does this even go to trial?
You already know the answer.
Say his name. Karmelo Anthony.
Stay Dangerous.
They kill our kids or send them to prison.
Maybe somebody can help me understand this.
A grown man #RickChow chased down a 14-year-old teenager #CyrusCarmackBelton and shot him in the back.
A teenager got jumped... was defending himself, and now he’ll spend years behind bars.
We are constantly told to trust the system, but too often the outcomes leave people shaking their heads.
If the facts were different, if the names were different, if the races were different, would the outcome be the same?
That’s not a rhetorical question. Because we just saw last week a Chinese man get away with murdering a Black boy.
I'm angry at this verdict.
Justice has NOT been served‼️
