Hopefully he will get all the respect he deserves in prison.

I’d say they should have released the video right away to show the lies from the BLM crowd so people would see it for what it was but we had that for Kyle Rittenhouse and those same morons were still trying to defend the mob.


Reportedly, the video doesn’t show much- it's footage from afar, pixilated, and partially blocked by the tent they were in... it would, from what I understand, have disproven the current liars stating that Stabby was attacked by four people.

On its own especially if we didn’t already know Anthony admits to the stabbing and is claiming self defense it wouldn’t mean much. It wouldn’t mean much to people like the ones protesting regardless.

It is a preemptive strike on that lie that there was some big fight that Anthony could reasonably feel his life was in danger, shows how quickly it went down and too quick for anything like that to have happened before deadly force used, and will help add to the validity of some of the expected testimony by some of the students (former students) who were there and may testify.

Not sure if his twin is going to testify. That would be tough. Bad enough to have your brother murdered much less be be your identical twin brother and murdered right in front of you.

There is a very large population of this country that still insists Rittenhouse killed three innocent unarmed black men to this day.

Then there are a bunch of idiots because only two died and none of them were black IIRC.

I’m seeing some reports that KA wasn’t supposed to be there that day for the race and also some that he was scheduled to run and rode on the team bus. The amount of misinformation rolling on X might be at an all time high on this one

Kind of hope he's found innocent and the Metcalf's hire someone to hand out proper justice.

I'm sorry if this has already been posted and discussed....
What is the racial makeup of the jury?
I see many trying to draw parallels of this trial to the infamous OJ trial in '94-'95.

In the video I posted above they say it

I think it's like 6 white men, a couple Asians, a couple Indians, & a Middle Eastern woman... something like that

ETA: zero African-Americans on this jury

There are POCs... just no AAs

I'll assume the defense is not happy about this makeup.

very strange and potentially unsafe that the jury isn't being sequestered during a high profile heated trial like this.

I was a track parent for ten or so years as well as a track official. It wasn’t uncommon for athletes to drop by another tent and visit, as many times these kids had gotten to know each other through competition over the years. Guys also liked to visit with girls from other teams. But there always was respect for another teams tent area. Kids need to feel safe leaving their phones in the tent area. In all those years, I never witnessed a fight or heated confrontation, much less a deadly weapon being revealed or used.
I understand that it had begun to rain at the event. If the killer needed to get out of the rain, he could’ve gotten under the bleachers.

Bottom line, we can’t have our athletes attend a track meet and fear they’ll be stabbed for attempting to remove an opposition team member from their tent area.

Yea, well that little piece of shite had over $500,000 raised for him in less than 48 hours saying that it is quite alright to get stabbed at a track meet as long as the victim is white.

Do think that is only happening on X?

What most people are doing right now is remembering rumors that came out just after the murder, and I would guess are making the false assumption (in this case) that they just have not been brought up in court yet.

At the time the not supposed to be at the event actually went in both directions with Anthony’s group and supporters stating that while the victim was from that school he was not on track team or was not participating that day and should have been in team area. By their “logic” Austin had less of reason or right to be under the tent than Anthony.

Austin was a member of the track team, and yesterday we learned from his coach that he was made one of their leaders for the event which specifically help set up and look out for their area amongst other things.

I don’t know either’s participation status in the track events that day. Being a district event (district is made up of only high schools in FRISCOisd at the time) it could have been more limited than a regular event, but also being in Frisco also meant the rest of the team would likely attend outside of disciplinary or academic reasons.

This attitude that white people want harm to befall black people is the fault of the media.


It’s not dissimilar to how the KKK used to stir up poor white trash making them believe blacks were going to harm them and/or were the cause of their problems. It’s a favorite page of the Dem’s identity playbook. Make them all victims to their opposition, and then keep their focus on their “villain” instead of how much they don’t like each other or think that they are not getting as much as other groups in the Dem identity spectrum. If fighting starts amongst themselves then find something on Trump or white people to blow up out of proportion to redirect their focus.
Wal Mart Republicanism. MAGA is the ultimate outcome. They are in fact the Dixiecrats of yesteryear.


Then why are the Dems still doing it?

I will include the part you left out in your quote which specifically described the Dem playbook part (bolded is what you selectively quoted). They just flip or shift the “villain” based on make up of their identity coalition as needed. They used to push against illegals when labor unions were an important part of their coalition. They also used to love Jews and one of their current villains Israel. I remember when Obama, Hillary, and the most other Dems loved another recent villain, Russia, and even made jokes about people living in the past with outdated concerns on Russia.
