Race hustlers are trying to make Karmelo Anthony a victim, rather than the murderer he is

A beautiful young life was snuffed out in the most senseless way possible — knifed in the heart in what should have been a completely safe place: a high school track meet.

And a seemingly once promising young man is going to prison for 35 years for fatally stabbing him.

It truly cannot get more depressing than the case of Austin Metcalf, killed by Karmelo Anthony in 2025.

But because Metcalf was white, and Anthony is black, this has been turned into a toxic stew of racial grievances, exacerbating an already heartbreaking story.

Throughout the trial, protesters have demonstrated outside the Collin County courthouse, ranting that a guilty verdict would be racism. On social media, some have ghoulishly celebrated Metcalf’s death, while race hustlers like Democratic Rep. Jasmine Crockett are trying to turn this avoidable tragedy into a racial reckoning for a broken nation.
