IMO, this whole thing is a bigger indictment on how despicable the media is by creating a racial conflict out of nothing more than the fact the victim is white and the defendant is black. There has been no actual evidence that either Metcalf's nor Anthony's actions were motivated by race. Maybe inside they were. But Melfcalf is dead, Anothny didn't testify at trial, and none of the testimony from any of the witnesses, black or white, suggested race played any role whatsoever in this incident. Thus, making this case one of racial conflict is pure conjecture and fabrication simply to create attention.


Correct. This was the easiest case of all time and its no shock that it happened so fast

But the media has to stoke racial tensions, so they do it

That is a black kid could have a greater fear of serious bodily harm when confronted by a white person or group of white people strictly out of clear racial prejudice as opposed to a white kid confronted by other white kids.


The statistics overwhelmingly say otherwise though.

True.

Recall that Texas says being the aggressor in an altercation negates the argument that a killing was justified on the basis of self-defense.

Does anyone else find it weird how many “pastors” and other religious folk are going onto social media to voice support for Karmelo?

It’s just weird how in some communities, pastors are mainly activists rather than religious leaders

Kid was on a gravy-train with biscuit wheels in one of the richest school districts in the nation.

But he couldn't not stab a dude in the heart at a track meet at 10:30 am.

the hypocrisy isn't limited to one side or one color

But yes LBJ's Great Society actually separated the black community's legitimate church leadership from political leadership in a very identifiable way
