@Bobby_LaVallley Are you saying that made it easy for him? On one hand, yes, but you know that if he doesn't somehow get on the ballot and win he will never get permits to rebuild his house and effectively lose the chance to get everything back
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."
This is so devastating. Imagine being a black parent tonight. How do you protect your children? If they go out and stab just one person, they might go to prison. It’s like a black man in America can’t even murder anyone anymore. Unimaginable. Jim Crow all over again. I’m furious.
I have a question. If Karmelo Anthony’s parents solicited donations for their son‘s defense and then blew all that money on cars and a new house so that he had to get a public defender, how is that not fraud? Why aren’t they facing charges right now?
GUILTY.
A Texas jury just found Karmelo Anthony guilty of MURDER in the stabbing death of 17-year-old Austin Metcalf.
The "self-defense" claim collapsed instantly. The teammates who were there told the truth. The evidence was overwhelming.
Anthony brought a knife to a track meet and plunged it into the chest of an unarmed boy who died in his twin brother's arms.
The jury saw right through it.
This is the justice system at work.
California just did something incredibly stupid at the worst possible time.
By openly kneecapping Spencer Pratt in the primary, the state didn’t just protect Karen Bass from a competitive November race. It handed the rest of the country fresh, undeniable proof that their election system is designed to prevent any real challenge from ever reaching the general election. And they did it right as the Supreme Court is preparing to rule on late-arriving mail-in ballots in Watson v. Republican National Committee.
That timing matters. This wasn’t some quiet, behind-the-scenes adjustment. It was a very public execution of a candidate who was gaining traction with a modern campaign and a straightforward message. Everyone watching saw it happen in real time. The ballot drops, the sudden surge of a no-name candidate, the abrupt removal of the only outsider who was making noise ... it was all too obvious to ignore.
What California just proved is that their system cannot tolerate even the possibility of a close or uncomfortable race. Not because they fear losing power overnight, but because they fear voters seeing that the machine can be pressured at all. That revelation travels. It feeds directly into the growing national understanding that what’s happening in places like Los Angeles isn’t normal governance ... it’s managed decline protected by procedural games.
They showed their hand. And they did it at the exact moment the highest court in the country is about to decide how much longer these games are going to be allowed to continue.

REPOST THIS PLEASE!!! California did not tell me they rejected my ballot. They also rejected my wife's ballot I have discovered. They claim it is a bad signature on both.
Go to https://t.co/Xiq8fFrqSZ and verify they accepted your ballot.
Folks, we're dealing with a fraction of a percentage point difference, there's still hundreds of thousands of votes outstanding, and LA officials have given us the next 3 weeks to count! Let's git-r-dun!
