Please stop saying “you need to have empathy for Karmelo… it could have been you!”
No, it could not have been me. It could not have been my daughter. It could not have been my brothers. It could not have been my nieces or nephews.
Why not?
We’re not out randomly picking fights and then stabbing dudes at track meets.
Now, if they start handing out jail sentences for roasting former congresswomen, crackheads, or leftists, I’m getting consecutive life sentences. I’m also going to identify as a woman because… reasons… I’m not spending the rest of my life looking at a bunch of men.
But Karmelo and I are two different dudes. Stop trying to put his dumb shit on those of us with common sense and decency.
@Independent This is an insane take. This “relationship” is one sided. One doesn’t give a thought about the other. One is obsessed and consumed with the other. Guess who is who! Oh dear. 🥴
Austin Metcalf's dad, Jeff, just unloaded on Karmelo Anthony.
"We were robbed, don't look down, of all of these things."
"I said from day one, this was never about race, please don't politicize it. But what did you choose to do, both. It's about right and wrong. We're all humans. We all bleed the same color.
"You're free to make choices all you want, but you're not free from those consequences. You will face those consequences starting today."
"People think that grief is sadness but its not. IT"S RAGE!!! (slamming his hands on the table.) Pure unfiltered rage,' he shouts.
"You failed your parents, your failed yourself and you failed society, You don't belong in this community," he says to Karmelo.
"You're going to prison, You can't even look me in the eyes right now but you can stab my fu**ing son in the heart."

@WallStreetMav At this point, I would go with Marco. He’s been a revelation as Secretary of State. I didn’t think he had it in him. I’m pleasantly surprised.
The Washington monument, indeed, the whole mall is definitely a “must visit” at least once in your lifetime. Especially if you have tween/teenagers. History is so much more impactful when you see it up close, instead of reading it in a book.
Apple announced an all-new version of Siri during its Worldwide Developers Conference, a move that could bring its roughly 15-year-old digital helper up to speed with rivals like ChatGPT and Google’s Gemini. https://t.co/gWqTMJhalf
Eight years with ALS has taught me a lot.
Some things have changed. Others stay the same. Joy looks different now, but it's still there. In my girls. In Sandra. In a great pair of socks and a mountain I wasn't supposed to be able to ski.
