The reaction to 19-year-old Karmello Anthony’s conviction for the murder of Austin Metcalf has been pure lunacy bordering on psychosis from Anthony’s supporters. One would believe the Metcalf family would be afforded empathy after a mother and father lost their son and Hunter Metcalf lost his twin brother.

Instead, we’re seeing the torches and pitchforks come out in one of the most outrageously inept, callous, and illogical moves possible: There are now calls to charge Hunter Metcalf with assault.

Assault for what exactly? How does a child watching his brother get stabbed and seeing him die in his arms warrant an assault charge? These are the right questions, but the wrong ones in being generous enough to Anthony’s supporters to assume reason has dictated any decision they’ve made since the verdict and sentencing.

These people are acting like bloodthirsty animals.

Change.orghas the petition which reads the following:

In Frisco, TX, on April 2, 2025, an alarming incident occurred at Kuykendall Stadium where individuals Hunter and Austin Metcalf allegedly assaulted Karmelo Anthony. Austin Metcalf lost his life in the process. This incident is emblematic of a broader issue of racial inequality in the United States and highlights the urgent need for action.

Hunter Metcalf’s assault on Karmelo Anthony contributed to his twin brother’s death and cannot be ignored. It is critical for maintaining public trust in the judicial system that Metcalf be held accountable for his actions. The immediate arrest of Metcalf and a thorough investigation into the incident are paramount. To ensure justice is served, we also demand the release of all video footage of the original incident on April 2, 2025.

Releasing the video footage will allow an unbiased evaluation of the incident and offer a clear picture of what occurred that day. It will also provide the evidence needed to take the necessary legal actions to address any wrongful conduct. This is not merely a call for justice for Karmelo Anthony, but a call for justice for all Black Americans who have been victims of violence and systemic bias. We demand that Collin County and Frisco, TX authorities be investigated for mishandling the murder trial of Karmelo Anthony.

The lack of accountability in the language here is childlike. Anthony murdered someone and Metcalf is responsible for the murder.

The jury has seen everything. They’ve heard the testimony.
