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.
Today is the 3rd day of testimony in the #KarmeloAnthony trial. More updates later, but let's remember that he was a regular teenager before the events that took place last April.
God keep our Caribbean islands safe during this hurricane season. Cover us and may no wave, depression, storm or any category of hurricane touch our shores, Amen.

East Grand Bahama could make sense. There is an old military airstrip there. If you buy out the two families who control the quasi-government Grand Bahama Port Authority for <$1B, you could control an entire tax + duty-free SEZ next to Florida and make it the launchpad for your tech

Imagine controlling 230 square miles of Caribbean land โ with its own deep-water port, airport, and quasi-governmental powers โ just 85 miles from Florida.
This isnโt a pitch deck fantasy. Itโs real. And the window is open.
