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.
This woman claims to be on the Board of Pardons and Parole in Texas
She allegedly posted this after Karmelo Anthony was found guilty.
We reached out to @TDCJ but they declined to respond
🚨 BREAKING NEWS: Tens of thousands of Spencer Pratt voters are now receiving rejection letters from the county clerk saying that their ballots were not counted due to signature irregularities. Yet, Governor Gavin Newsom just passed legislation that would make it illegal for anyone conducting oversight, to contest signatures that they deemed fraudulent. Democrats allow ballots to be signed with an X, a -, or a 🙂 to pass and count, but all of a sudden, only Republican signatures are being flagged for irregularities, rejected, and not counted. 🤔 One of these California Republican voters said that his signature has been on file for over 20 years and there has never been an issue until he voted for Spencer Pratt. Nithya Ramen has beaten Spencer Pratt by less than 3000 votes. There are at least 18,000 Pratt voters who received this letter saying their votes were rejected.
@mattvanswol Detain them. Have the parents retrieve them and when they appear arrest the parents and hold them accountable. I guarantee you when mom or dad are released, they will beat the soul out of their kid. Done.
@mirandadevine At this point in my life, I simply don’t listen to anyone with fake hair, “ghetto”nails, nose rings, blue hair, or people that wear their hat backwards. Life has become more enjoyable.
@BreannaMorello Imagine raising enough money to hire the best defense lawyer for your son but mom thought that money should be used to relocate to another state, buy a new house in a gated community and a Cadillac Escalade was more important. You can’t make this 💩 up.
If this order isn’t signed today, Lucy will spend at least another day in a cell.
I spend yet another day in a courtroom. My sons will miss the final day of VBS - the one everyone has been looking forward to, with sprinklers, slip-and-slides, and squirt guns. And I won’t be able to attend my daughter’s ballet recital.
This is a great deal of unnecessary hardship, especially since I’ve already signed the deal. Yet this entire ordeal - nearly two months now - has caused far too much avoidable suffering over an innocent incident that took place in my own yard and was over in seconds.
I don’t blame malice. I blame procedural quirks, bureaucratic inefficiencies, and an overly heavy-handed government.
It’s no wonder C.S. Lewis imagined the demon Screwtape disguised as a senior bureaucrat and Hell as a mundane, if gruesome, administrative system.
