If Karmelo Anthony gets off, I’m “mostly peaceful protesting”, as should the majority of civil society. If he gets convicted, as he rightfully should, and the degenerates “protest”, we should all swiftly and forcefully “counter protest”. This shit ends now.
Austin Metcalf's murder is particularly salient because almost everyone, regardless of race, has encountered a black person carrying out an antisocial act – cutting in line, mouthing off, blasting music on the subway, etc. – which is accompanied by the implicit threat of violence.
In this case, Karmelo Anthony took Austin Metcalf's seat. Karmelo provoked Austin knowing that he was armed – that if Austin objected, he would just stab him. And that's exactly what happened.
Most people don't want to share a society with people who routinely violate public norms and are prepared to murder anyone who objects. It is a mentality entirely alien to well-to-do people. It isn't a sign of masculinity or being a "bad ass" – trained fighters, elite soldiers, etc. don't act that way in public.
It obviously isn't all black people who behave this way. But of those who do, most are black. I remember seeing a clip of some lowlife black dude threatening to stab a hipster looking black guy on a train for asking him to turn his music down, so it isn't as if you have to be white to object to this sort of antisocial behavior. But that said, the pattern is unignorable, and you rarely see any other people act like that.
@LauraLoomer@RepThomasMassie We all know this is a last ditch hasbara hit.. at least get a decent looking chick to make it more believable. Shes more of a horse than a cow lol
