This Isn’t Karmelo Anthony!

The one murder suspect the far right ain't talking about.

Another teen stabbed another one. Of course, the far right doesn't seem to care about this situation.

The suspect is innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.

Black MAGAland appears to be breaking away from its alliance with white MAGAland over this.

Several Black conservatives are angered at the far right for villifying Karmelo Anthony to suit their radical extremism. 

The incident between Anthony and Austin Metcalf sparked the far right's demands for the teen to be locked up.

According to witnesses, the altercation began after the accused, Karmelo Anthony, a student at Centennial High School in Frisco, entered the Memorial High School team tent. Metcalf asked him to exit. The two began to argue. Anthony said "Touch me and see what happens" while he reached inside his bag. Metcalf then touched Anthony to get him to exit, a black knife was pulled from the bag and Anthony stabbed Metcalf once in the chest and fled.

Anthony's family set up a GiveSendGo to pay for legal defense and raised over $453,000 in donations by April 17.

The case has garnered widespread attention on social media and right-wing news media, becoming a right-wing cause célèbre. Conversely, Anthony has received significant financial support from the Black community.

Black activists are calling it self defense. The far right is calling it cold blooded murder. They are pressing the junk food media to question the motives of Anthony's parents, his attorney and the fundraising.

These are the same people who cheered George Zimmerman, Kyle Rittenhouse, Daniel Penny, Daniel Perry and Darren Wilson.

They are fucking ridiculous.

Yet, these extremists made the case about race. The same folks who complain about DEI and innocence until proven guilty have already condemned, shamed and demanded Democrats react to this incident.

Conservatives demand Black Lives Matter, Rev. Al Sharpton, former president Barack Obama, former vice president Kamala Harris and the NAACP react to every fucking criminal act done by a Black person.

The teen is accused of murdering another teen after a physical altercation. It is national news and another racial situation the far right is exploiting.

In order to take the country away from President Donald J. Trump's colossal fuck ups, the far right needs to keep their racially angry base riled up going into 2026.

Due process is thrown out when it's a Black teen, a Black man, a Muslim, a Palestinian or a Latino.

If it's a white man, they are assumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.

If they're guilty, the far right will deny it. They will claim that the George Soros appointed district attorney was bought and paid for.

This incident was mentioned by Black Twitter and you don't hear a peep from the far right.

Cayser Allison is on trial for a 2022 stabbing of a fellow student in a Belton, Texas high school.

The jury heard from two friends of Jose “Joe” Ramirez on the third day of the state’s presentation of evidence against 21-year-old Caysen Tyler Allison, who is accused of stabbing Ramirez during a fight in a Belton High School bathroom almost three years ago.

The 18-year-old high school student died on May 3, 2022, at a local hospital after allegedly being stabbed by Allison and collapsing in a hallway. Allison’s defense team is presenting a case of self-defense.

Before testimony began Wednesday morning, and outside of the jury’s presence, the judge had another matter to address. Judge Wade Faulkner announced to the nearly-full courtroom that the defense had given him three screenshots of social media postings made by Amanda Rios, Ramirez’s mother.

“Today is a warning,” Faulkner said. “You’ll be excluded from the trial if you post about the case, your knowledge of the case or your possible testimony.”

Any person would normally be able to post or comment on social media, but Rios was among the 14 people who were sworn in as witnesses by Faulkner on Monday morning when the trial began and was not supposed to talk about the case at all.

Because she is the mother of a homicide victim, the judge on Monday excluded her from “the rule” that almost always is invoked by the defense and she has been in the courtroom for the trial. (When “the rule” is in effect, sworn witnesses are not allowed to watch court proceedings because such a scenario could influence their later testimony.)

Right after Rios was admonished, the defense team called for a woman sitting next to her — who also allegedly had been posting to social media — to be sworn in as a possible witness. Unlike Rios, the woman was not allowed to stay and she left the courtroom in tears.

The screenshots were admitted into the record as “court’s exhibit one.”

Belton police said that Allison, 18 years old at the time, admitted to the stabbing and a folding knife was located during a search of his home. He was indicted by a Bell County grand jury on June 8, 2022, on a first-degree felony charge of murder. He has been out of jail since July of 2022 after posting a reduced bond of $175,000.

A jury of seven men and six women, including one alternate juror, was empaneled after a two-day jury selection process on April 2-3. The trial is expected to proceed into next week and more than 30 people have been subpoenaed to testify, court records show.

BOYS IN BATHROOM CONTINUE TESTIMONY

Eleven people have testified over the course of Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday: two records custodians; a detective; a teacher and the school nurse; two witnesses who were high school students; and four of Ramirez’s friends who were in the bathroom with him on May 3, 2022.

The five boys arrived first, according to school district surveillance video. A short time later, Allison and his friend, who can be seen with a slight limp because of a boot cast, walk into the bathroom seemingly unconcerned.

On Tuesday, Ramirez’s friends Angel Marillo and Tito Shamel testified about the altercation that occurred shortly afterward. Shamel recorded part of the fight on his phone and the short clip already has been shown in court numerous times. On Wednesday, a third friend, Josh Grymes finished his testimony that began on Tuesday.

Ramirez’s stepbrother, Joshua Rios Jr., then testified that a fist-fight had been planned through a Snapchat group message but that Allison and Ramirez had not yet agreed on the details of time and place.

“(Allison) wanted to go to West Temple Park in the woods to fight (Ramirez),” Rios said. “He sent a screenshot showing where. Joe didn’t want to fight there ... I didn’t think it was actually going to happen.”

Jose Ramirez’s life mattered.

The next plan was for the two to fight after school that day. The incident occurred in the morning, just after the end of first period during class change.

“As soon as Caysen walked in, they started arguing and Joe said if they were going to fight that they should do it here and now,” Rios said.

Ramirez then punched Allison, who can be seen on Shamel’s video rearing backward from the blow and then swinging at Ramirez. At the same time, Rios slugged Allison’s friend who had walked in with him, knocking him to the ground.

The shaky video does not show the stabbing as it occurred.

“I heard my brother scream and saw him run out,” Rios said. “I was trying to process if he’d just stabbed my brother. Caysen looked at me and bolted out of the bathroom. I chased after him.”

During attorneys’ questioning of the boys, both sides tried to clarify the circumstances for the jury.

“Caysen tried to stop the fight, he didn’t want to fight,” said defense attorney Zachary Boyd as he was questioning Grymes earlier in the morning. “He first went to urinate in the stall and then he was confronted by Joe. Joe tried to lock the bathroom door and then slugged Caysen in the face. When Joe moved to fight, none of you stepped in, did you?”

“No, sir,” Grymes said.

“If it were you with a friend in a boot, in a bathroom surrounded by boys who fight for fun, would you wait for a second punch?” Boyd asked. “Would you gamble with your life or end the fight?”

“I’m not sure,” Grymes answered.

“You’d defend yourself, wouldn’t you?” Boyd asked.

“Yes, sir,” Grymes said.

The state’s prosecutor briefly questioned Grymes again.

“Would you stab somebody during a fist-fight?” said Assistant District Attorney Connor Leigh.

“No, I would not,” Grymes said.
