@TracesofTexas My great grandfather Philomeno (Filomeno) Amaya was a Kineño. My grandmother, Beatrice Amaya Adame was born on the King Ranch in 1903. Her children were then born in Kingsville. Her grandchildren thought of her as our hero. She was a strong one!
It’s really incredible that for years now, the MSP, the McAlberts and their online accounts have tried to villianize Aidan Kearney, while at the exact same time they’ve vouched for and protected Michael Proctor. No one should believe a word they say about anything.
She has it backwards.
Apparently Karmelo’s parents didn’t teach him about boundaries:
He didn’t respect the boundaries of another team’s area.
He didn’t respect the boundaries about bringing illegal weapons on campus.
His ego, posturing and impulse control had no boundaries.
But now he has boundaries to stop him from making the same mistake again for 35 years:
Concrete block and iron bars.
@libsoftiktok@HowardU Let's take the professor's lesson here and apply it to Karmelo's current situation:
He's in prison because his parents failed to teach him that society has boundaries on murdering people.
Huh. Checks out.
You know what I’ve been thinking about? There are far more racist people in this country than I ever realized.
I have been blown away watching people celebrate the death of a White teenage boy simply because the person who killed him was Black.
This teenager was not on drugs. He was not a troublemaker.
He had never committed a crime.
He played sports, made good grades, respected his parents, and was loved by so many people.
Yet some people have found joy in his death because they care more about race than right and wrong.
That is not justice. That is racism, hatred, and pure evil.
A teenage boy lost his life. Anyone celebrating that should be ashamed.
A person who is a rabid racist, mysoginist, an anti-Semite, one who endorses sexual assault, homophobe (and anything else) is a terrible and dangerous person. The same person, armed with a firearm, badge, arrest powers, all other advantages and benefits of the state, and endorsed by law enforcement and its unlimited resources, is also a terrible person, but 1000x more dangerous than a private citizen. If you cannot appreciate this obvious fact and the harmful impact that such a police officer has on the credibility and viability of investigations and prosecutions, you are entitled to your own opinions, but you are not a credible analyst.
Why are Michael Proctors text messages about me still impounded? We have them all and can’t release them. He, along with Jennifer McCabe and Chris Albert, is the driving force behind my charges. He was a listed Victim who testified against me at the grand jury. Why can’t I show you what an asshole he is? Why is this evil monster so protected?
You, Aunty Bev.
You are the lowest.
A Judge.. The one person in court that should be above reproach. The gate keeper of FAIRNESS and JUSTICE.
Not only to the victim but to the defendant.
You are even more of a disgrace. For many years you were a public defender. You fought everyday for a fair trial, for your clients. To fight for your clients constitutional rights.
You have stood where Yannetti and Jackson stood.
You denied an evidentiary hearing, you allowed evidence in. That any decent Judge wouldn’t even allow past the front door.
You are a disgrace.

Unfollow me if you have a problem with me being Black and not supporting Karmelo Anthony.
I will not be intimidated by the threats I’ve been receiving from Karmelo Anthony supporters.
He took someone else’s life. Austin Metcalf is never coming back. His family will never get to hug him again. His parents have to wake up every single day knowing their son is gone forever.
I am not standing with someone based on skin color.
I am a human being first. And one human being wrongly killed another human being.
If you think Austin’s killing was no big deal because he was white, then you are straight-up racist.
Wrong is wrong.
I don’t care if the victim is white, Black, Hispanic, Asian, or anything else. A life was taken, and I will never celebrate that. I will never excuse that. And I will never be bullied into defending it.
Mike, I am a co-sponsor and have repeatedly voted for this but you don’t have the votes. @LeaderJohnThune can’t change that. It is math. Try focusing on Democrats instead of Republicans. Republican on Republican attacks are hurting our chances to win the majority in November.
Austin Metcalf is dead.
Let’s stop dancing around the obvious.
Austin Metcalf received the death penalty.
Karmelo Anthony received 35 years.
One of them lives.
One of them gets a gravestone.
Save the faux outrage.
The real victim in this case is NOT the convicted killer.
The real victim is the young man who will never come home again and the family that will spend the rest of their lives grieving a loss that can never be undone.
This was a track meet.
A place for competition, teamwork, and sportsmanship.
NOT violence.
NOT murder.
And spare us the racial narratives.
Murder is wrong regardless of the race of the victim or the perpetrator. Any decent society should be able to agree on that.
Austin Metcalf lost everything.
His family got a life sentence of grief.
And while some are busy turning this tragedy into a racial debate, the Metcalf family is looking at the empty chair at the dinner table and remembering who actually paid the highest price.
Austin Metcalf got the death penalty.
Never forget that.
Father has epic response to this lady 😭🔥
“I also have five boys.”
“Boys, when you go out into school, don’t stab any other kids. You think you guys can do that?”
This is the view of 1.2 million people from above. This is happening in Madrid, in the famous Plaza de Cibeles and its surroundings, where Pope Leo XIV will preside over the solemn Corpus Christi Mass, followed by a historic procession.
