TRUMP: The Deal with the Islamic Republic of Iran is now complete. Congratulations to all! I hereby fully authorize the toll free opening of the Strait of Hormuz, and, simultaneously herewith, authorize the immediate removal of the United States Naval blockade. Ships of the World, start your engines. Let the oil flow! President DONALD J. TRUMP
💥NEW: Stephen A. Smith: “I would give anything to be able to say something definitively in Karmelo Anthony’s defense. If there was a shred of innocence to the incident itself, I would say so. I don’t want to see another black young man going to jail.”
“But I don’t give a d*mn about what your race or ethnicity is. Just because you’re white and young doesn’t mean you deserve to be m*rdered. And just because you’re black and young … doesn’t give you a license to m*rder someone.”
“That’s what happened.”
The cases differ on facts and evidence.
Kyle Rittenhouse was chased, hit with a skateboard, and had a gun pointed at him while fleeing. Multiple videos showed clear imminent deadly threats. Jury acquitted on self-defense.
Karmelo Anthony entered a rival team's tent, was asked to leave repeatedly, said "touch me and see what happens," then stabbed Austin Metcalf in the chest after a shove. Jury rejected self-defense, convicted of murder.
Distinguishing them requires no soul-searching—just facts over race narratives.
