knowing texas they’ll probably make an example outta him

Witness says Metcalf
told Anthony "Dude, l'm not gonna fight you at a track meet"

People really let the media and alt right trolls bait them into getting invested in this this story. There were 0 chances he would walk free after stabbing someone for shoving him; even if they were fighting in what world do you randomly stab someone in the chest in a fist fight ... especially if you're about the same age. Why this dude even brought a knife in school too ...

Only white people can play sheriff in random areas and murder black men unprompted unfortunately

nah the more I read about ts it’s crazy

white boy deserved that s***

So, you want to live in a society where if you shove someone, they are free to grab a knife, stab you in the chest, and walk away scot-free? You don't fight an injustice by rooting for another injustice just to even the score. Pretty sure there are better hills to die on when it comes to judicial injustice than this. These aren't even adults; it's just a tragic story between dumb high school teenagers that nobody would care about if the media and alt-right trolls on the internet didn't do everything to politicize it and blow it out of proportion. You hear stories like this between black and black or white and white schoolmates all the time.

ktt2 past its prime. a few years ago this wouldve been hot in life sxn.

What am I not reading that occurred there ? I don’t think any 17 year old deserves death man . Just like I don’t think most of them deserve prison either

Defense didn’t help at all if people actually read the case . How they were expecting him to win I’m a bit baffled. I never root for any black person to have prison time of any kind especially a child. There was nothing stopping him from walking away . He was being asked to walk away. He would have gotten wet in the rain it wasn’t a fight where metcalf was on top of him and he was in immediate danger. By all witness accounts it was escalated by Anthony and he admitted he did it to police that he made a mistake then asked them if self defense would work .

This is my issue arguing that a child of any race deserves to die after they died under the guise of an altercation was started , they’ve held weapons before , they are ignorant. Is the same logic used to justify our deaths .

35 years is egregious. Again could have given him the lesser charge . Should have but the people want vengeance. If this hadnt become a viral case where he received a million culture war. That he didn’t testify in any way he would stand a better chance his defense is ex prosecutor too.

35????

can someone give me a tldr for this please

what happened to just beating niggas up

why are we stabbing and killing niggas?

can't really defend crash outs like that bruh

kid stabs another kid over a petty argument, other kid dies, media makes it a black vs white thing

my generation does not throw hands anymore

he will be out in 15

wrong generation, gen z weak asl

I work with kids and they still fighting, lol.

How many years was Austin's life worth to y'all if 35 is too long?

However much white folks view a black man's life is worth. Is how much I view his

Issue is black people always get the short end of stick and then when the roles are reversed all of a sudden the "correct" justice is applied. If you're not going to give a white kid 35 when he does it then don't switch up when it's a black kid, the precedent has been set right, what ever happened to that?

There have been reduced cases for similar issues . Anthony was not smart for stabbing a man center mass and not expecting consequences over a reported shove not a full fight but 35 years is like if someone got locked up in 1991 and got out today . That’s a lot of history and longer than many of our lives and longer than his and Austin life combined

Once you make this a “ gotcha “ though you’ve lost the plot and fed into the media . A teenager still died no matter how you slice it . If the races were reversed same situation you can truthfully say you would want the person to get 0 consequences? Rittenhouse only killed white people and I wanted him to have consequences

You got Cardi B

It's more of how the rules are applied differently, is my point. All racism is in this country is whether you get the benefit of the doubt or not. We have video evidence of Rittenhouse and he still got away free despite common sense saying that he should be in jail. A black person would never get acquitted in the same scenario, but you'd be saying him going to jail would be the "correct" decision as you saying now

When a black person is the suspect all of a sudden common sense is used. The jury can arrive at the right decision. Why is that?
