re: Karmelo supporters yell "we glad Austin dead" as Metcalf family leaves court

I know this is anecdotal, but here's some individual insight into these kind of folks in the Karmelo support group.

One of my parents struggled with alcoholism. I talked about it a bit ... and a militant blk guy tells me: "You might think that is working hard and a struggle. You have no idea what a struggle is."

Dude... I completely understand how you feel. I grew up not knowing who my biological father is, never met him... My mother and later stepfather raised me in a completely disfunctional household, barely above the poverty line. My parents were both drug addicts... stepdad worked construction and dealt some drugs to help make ends meet or have a little extra spending money. He was a psycho Vietnam vet, very tough, spent a couple long stints in prison, kicked the shite out of me growing up until I was 18 and snapped on him and told him I'd kill him if he even thought about touching me... and he knew I meant it. There's much more to what led up to that that is beyond fricked up.

I moved out and moved thousands of miles away right after that and survived on my own, working construction etc until I was 30 years old and went back to college, which I paid for. No one helped me with shite. My Mom didn't have the means to help. Got into law school on a 50% scholarship and graduated. Passed the Bar, and made my career and everything I achieved since then, on my own.Still the only person in my family to have gone to college. The overwhelming majority of people who grew up the way I did would have turned out to be complete pieces of shite and repeated the cycle. I grew up very angry through my teens and young adulthood, got in more fist fights than I can count. While I'm a little older an not as unstable, to this day I still have anger issues and should have probably been in therapy beginning years ago.

Some girl that I went to law school with, black girl from Harlem who grew up rich because her dad was a big attorney there... proceeded to tell me not long ago how "privileged" I am and I don't know what struggle is. This girl, who grew up in Harlem with rich attorney parents thinks she had it much tougher than I did.

I can definitely relate. I had to take out student loans to get a bachelor's degree. Had to repay every cent of it -- for the same kind of reasons -- family had no money.
Meanwhile, like you said: Some people you go to undergrad or grad school with sit there and call you privileged.

Are you not aware she is a MENSA member?

I assume that stands for something involving menstruating.

Go to Facebook and look.

Honestly, it may have been reported. But even so, pretty lame on the Mods just to whack the thread without any explanation. I also understand this is not my board or even an AU centered site.

Although, I have only earned bans from AU sites thus far.??

The craziest part is that they've been fed so much propaganda for so long, they actually believe that they're telling the truth.

What is there left to say?

The whole crowd should have been encircled and taken away.

The fact that they were there tells you all you need to know about their character.

America would be better off without them.

Jeff Metcalf gets a little grace here

At some point JM needs to distance himself.

He was showing up at Drew Anthony's job and other places.

Stalking isn't going to help him or anyone.

Drew Anthony didn't stab his kid.

Justice for Austin has happened. Jeff needs to step back and let whatever healing can begin.
