There is big money and political power to be grifted from race baiting. It is reassuring to read that the Black community on X was rejecting the race baiting complex.
Thank God that the likes of race baiters Jackson & Sharpton are long gone from their disgraceful hustles. Somewhat surprised NObummer hasn’t weighed in. In another interesting development, I was listening to an interview of a reporter who had been covering the case. She said all of the Karmelo supporters outside the courthouse were black. I guess even the Ken & Karen libtards knew well enough to take a pass on bleating their white privilege outrage & apologies on this one.
I'm sad for the black grandparents that lived and fought through the horrors of the civil rights movement and now stare in shocked disbelief at these black teenagers who have no common sense or decency. If someone pushes you, push them back... heck give them a bloody nose... bite their finger... but murder??! Doesn't even make sense...
I think the comment was referring to me saying that the original feminists probably feel the same way, and demon was responding ‘yes I do’. At least that’s how I read it.
Huh? Not sure what you mean. Clearly, some people DO deserve to live with such a fate. Can you clarify? If I aid/abet/assist/commit a terrible crime that results in death, what is the argument that I shouldn't suffer for it for the rest of my life? The family of the killed young man certainly will.
Horsesh*t. Unless you're advocating for the death penalty, and not the mistake of thinking there aren't people who deserve severe punishment. Take your misplaced suicidal empathy and put it somewhere it will actually do good instead of perpetuating harm to innocents.
I fail to understand the reasoning for your comment, but to respond to your overall guised criticisms... I have made more mistakes than I can count, and received an equal number of blessing (that being more than I can count)... I have no 2x4 in my eye and can see very clearly, thank you... Further, I don't hate anyone, only the way people present themselves with rudeness and lack of respect... and along that line, my comment was not to you... and you may want to revisit the comments that I was addressing... perhaps reading Jenna's Side Reply Rules would be beneficial for you as well.
Color me not surprised. That moral weak thinking is destroying our civilization, allowing the barbarians to take over. Sunday school philosophies won't keep you and yours alive.
You sound just like those protesting outside the courthouse. You and Anthony Burkett are NO DIFFERENT. Just like demonicRATS and Muslims. They’re the same.
The parents tried to. They wanted another 1.4 million smackers. GoFundMe shut it down and said “NOPE”. Refunded the money to those who had donated. And they changed their policy to where the money goes into a trust fund managed by a lawyer and (if I understand correctly,) has to be used to pay an attorney to represent the accused.
Last I heard all the other fundraising sites also said “NO”
You’re right Jenna - nothing funny to write about here. Handled well nonetheless. Having sat through a weeklong course on self defense run by the esteemed Mas Ayoob and followed, among others, the Zimmerman and Rittenhouse trials with various criminal defense attorneys making informed commentary along the way, I’d like to think I have at least the weakest grasp of principles of self defense. While there was always a chance the trial would reveal facts not initially known, this turned out to be exactly what it looked like from the get go - murder. The part I was unaware of, because I get my news from the likes of Jenna, Don Surber and Jeff Childers (neither which I can recommend enough) and not the Enemedia, was the racial tension and animus this trial stirred up. I guess we, the people aren’t over the whole skin color yet. I’d like to thank Al Sharpton and especially B. Hussein Obama for their lasting contributions to race relations.
I think most people are over the fake race outrage. It’s the loud minority that continues the diatribe. And who’s their biggest audience? AWFULS. Most black people (and all people) save the AWFULS and the grifters are DONE.
I'd like to submit the names of Mr. Morgan Freeman and Mr. Denzel Washington and Dr. Thomas Sowell for Honorable Mention in the category. Anything any of they would like to tell me about "race relations," I will pull up a stool in front of to hear.
And Dr. Ben Carson? I knew when I hit "Send", I'd be leaving out greats. Can you imagine a "Let's Do This" tour of such a group of worthies inviting everyone to come hear a rational discussion of "the problem(s) of race"? Sold-out venues... No doubt "the actors" would demur in favor of others they thought better-credentialed to speak. Not to mention putting "reason" back in the spotlight.
In most cities it is illegal to carry a knife on any school campus, especially one long enough to reach a human heart. By having his hand on the knife while it was in his backback, he was illegally carrying a concealed weapon on campus, and, he was prepared to use it from the start. Sounds like premeditated murder to me. He was already a criminal when he arrived at the school.
Thats what I find confusing, why nobody is asking about “why” he had to come to that particular tent, while having a weapon. I still believe it was premeditated for some reason. Gang initiation? He and Austin had terse words prior and he wanted to get even? Was he trying to get even with one of the others but Austin got in the way? We don’t understand enough for his reasons why he had to sit in that tent. I’d think it would lead to motive.
Grifters and liars made it about race, but watching the convict’s family makes me think it was always about race. Sorry to say, there are more black racists (as a percentage) than white racists in this country.
Remember when black people cheered after OJ was acquitted? The whitest black person ever
I think stories like this are going to create more white racists unfortunately
I was dumb enough to think we would be “post racial” after Obama was elected (I still didn’t vote for him…I don’t vote for Democrats). Obama made it worse unfortunately.
And that video circulating of that black OJ juror lady making it clear they all thought he was guilty but found him innocent as payback. This is the mentality they raised their youth on.
“I think stories like this are going to create more white racists unfortunately” Very true, but for me not to the extent that law abiding, hard working, faith-filled, family oriented blacks get my rage and scorn just because of their skin color. They won’t. But I AM more angry today at black racists than I ever was before. And I AM fed up with all the racist accusations being thrown at ALL whites.
Frankly in my own experience over the past 45 years, the most racist people I have ever met in person were black. I never met anyone who was white and talked and behaved towards blacks the same way blacks do towards whites. Not once. I was even accused by a college roommate of being racist because I didn’t pay attention to skin color. I wasn’t conforming to the indoctrination that had started. 🤨
Don’t get me wrong, I’m aware white supremacy exists and I occasionally come across vile posts on X that are very racist - and I ALWAYS reply that they are out of line. But the number of people like that are a LOT fewer than they want everyone to believe. You can’t say the same about blacks.
So comments like my reply here are what this case is going to ignite. People finally speaking the truth in spite of the backlash.
In 5th grade a black boy punched me in my stomach because I wouldn’t go out with him. I had no interest in boys. Aside from the fact he was almost 6 feet tall and black, I couldn’t care less his skin color I just was a shy, short, white girl who hated the fact I had just moved to this new neighborhood and had no friends in class. In HS I was called moon face by the black girls and threatened by them because I was friendly with a black boy who I was in band with. They made my life miserable. So for me, racism started a very long time ago and it starts in the home. I was friendly with everyone and I got heat for it. Parents and now the media and have instilled racism back into this country. Sad.
I've experienced both. My first "boyfriend" was black, and some white people still judged me for that. Then, when I lived in Norfolk and Portsmouth with my BF/husband who was a cop, we (mostly he) experienced insane racism from black people in that area. Yet, most of my patients were black and were not racist at all. One of my favorite patients was a young black woman who was a heroin addict. Whenever she showed up to give birth to another baby, she specifically requested me. She felt no judgement from me. All we can do is be kind, even when confronted by evil. Jesus said to pray for our enemies.
Yes all we can do is be kind and be smart! Stay away from the hateful ones as Anyone can be racist, doesn’t matter the race, creed, color, religion OR age!
I’m up the road from you in Spring Branch. Yes, we take great pride in the Crockett name around here, now sullied by the likes of that sorry excuse for a person. (It was just a little knife and he just stabbed him once. Who even thinks like that?!?!).
That is the comment that sent me over the edge too. It's okay to stab with a little knife? As in it's okay to commit a crime? From an actual legislator???? Should be expelled from Congress for justifying criminal behavior.
How could Jasmine-mine-mine feel about being overdosed with morphine in her latte'? Not even as painful as a tiny-knife stab would. I mean all-it-is is you sleep to death... But it's the "little things" like "not being here anymore" that, sane, people seem to focus on. Even if the Jas-ebel is okay with her own murder, if it's done "neatly enough," it means the Compleat End of Society.
People who think like that should be presented with the opportunity to be stabbed, just once, by a little knife.
I'm reminded, again, of how much I hate-hate smug "teevee presenters" dismissing physical assaults with the throwaway line, "...the victim suffered non-life-threatening injuries." "Just once", I'd like to "see how those same presenters feel after being subjected to 'non-life-threatening injuries.'" #aswiftkickintheshin
The closest I came was, once, I saw a teevee reporter, maybe on youtube, insist on testing a bullet-proof vest in front of a law-enforcement officer, repeatedly saying he wanted to be shot on-camera by a .22-cal bullet at close range. The officer repeated "This is not a good idea." but, in hindsight, could have been more specific and more adamant. Finally, the reporter won, and the cameraman showed the officer pulling the trigger, followed immediately by a stream of mixed cursing and expressions of, severe, pain and much "hopping around" by the reporter. The officer appeared to take it well because when the camera cut back, I thought, I detected the faintest hint of a smile.
Yeah, and that was just a .22! I carry a .40 or a .45. That would cause more than a little bit of invectives!
And your comment rings so true about this type of dimwit…the ones who cry Defund The Police, but are the first ones to call the police when something happens to THEM!
I keep hearing that it was a multi-tool which likely had a pliers to tighten or remove cleats. A knife is a tool or a weapon depending on its use. No excuse for what he did.
The aggression & unhinged insanity of the thought processes & words of the spittle-spewing Karmelo “protesters” outside the courthouse - esp towards the Metcalf family - was shocking. As if they hadn’t suffered enough & won’t continue to do so the rest of their lives. And then the nerve to appeal.
Little big man w/ the knife also trembled, cried & refused to look up during the victim impact statements, even when asked to do so by the father & twin brother. I predict “Karmela” in his prison future.
Until the media stops hyper sensationalizing a racial aspect of every story, we’re never going to move forward as a nation. JPeach is right - they only do it for money in their pocket. Meanwhile, a nation remains divided.
Well done Jenna. The formula at the now defunct MSNBC was trial-by-media. The former hosts have a podcast that continues the charade. They exaggerate and ignore the full story. They convicted not only Kyle Rittenhouse but many others including Bill Barr, Matt Gaetz, General Flynn and were most vocal that President Trump colluded with Russians. It is a sickness
“This isn’t just about one case. It’s about what happens when the public’s legal system is built on clips, captions, and outrage cycles that never end. The courtroom becomes a formality, and the real trial is the one that lives forever online.”
I assumed there was no father in KA’s life. Instead, he was not propped up on camera until after the verdict and sentencing. Actually, maybe he was and I just didn’t notice - work, College World Series, pregnant daughter, another son/DIL moving cross country, etc.
At least he had a father in his life. He may be a race-baiting, grifter or not. It was a shock to learn there was a father around. Progressives want progress and a communist state. We got one.
And my senses are so dulled by decades of race baiting black guilt that I don’t give a shit. I pray for the Metcalfs. I suspect I am not alone, your observations affirm that assumption.
Hope, eternal hope that a necessary corner has been turned.
SIDE NOTE. We want Jasmine on camera for sound bite entertainment, but a long way from power. Her kind of crazy is much more entertaining than that white guy who stole her senate opportunity and kicked her to the back of the bus. That’s the best kind of racism. Ironic racism where no one dies. But that’s just me.
There were several people posting daily trial testimony, so it was easy to see how the trial progressed against him. Jury back in 3 hours. When verdict read, KA's family, & supporters left, didn't even stay for the sentencing to support him.
They had to get back to that nice new house they bought using his GoFundMe money. Or maybe they have a new cruise planned and they had to go pack. You know the cruise that was funded by his GoFundMe.
Or if you’re a dork like me and have sh**ty aim with my phone screen, I’m the sole person who voted for self defense! And it was by accident. 🤣 Ignore that vote!
There is big money and political power to be grifted from race baiting. It is reassuring to read that the Black community on X was rejecting the race baiting complex.
Agree. Conservative leaning black people are over it, thank God.
I'm definitely tired of it as a common sense conversative black man.
It appears some of them moved to Substack. Looks like an SPLC conference in places.
Thank God that the likes of race baiters Jackson & Sharpton are long gone from their disgraceful hustles. Somewhat surprised NObummer hasn’t weighed in. In another interesting development, I was listening to an interview of a reporter who had been covering the case. She said all of the Karmelo supporters outside the courthouse were black. I guess even the Ken & Karen libtards knew well enough to take a pass on bleating their white privilege outrage & apologies on this one.
Obummer didn't weigh in because he'd already done that with Trayvon, and you can't have two sons.
😂
I'm sad for the black grandparents that lived and fought through the horrors of the civil rights movement and now stare in shocked disbelief at these black teenagers who have no common sense or decency. If someone pushes you, push them back... heck give them a bloody nose... bite their finger... but murder??! Doesn't even make sense...
Agreed! And I bet the original feminists feel the same about what that movement has become - defending men in women’s private spaces, for example.
i have always wondered where those loud-mouthed-in-your-face feminists went when all this fake gender nonsense began. Not a peep.
Yes, I do.
You do what, Demon?
I think the comment was referring to me saying that the original feminists probably feel the same way, and demon was responding ‘yes I do’. At least that’s how I read it.
At first I thought so, but demon’s comment makes no sense in regard to your comment.
Maybe we’ll get a follow up.
"Two families have been shattered. "
Karmelo's family deserves it. They taught their kid to be a criminal and a racist, and then cashed in on the fund-raising from other racists.
No one deserves to live with such a fate for the rest of their life
Huh? Not sure what you mean. Clearly, some people DO deserve to live with such a fate. Can you clarify? If I aid/abet/assist/commit a terrible crime that results in death, what is the argument that I shouldn't suffer for it for the rest of my life? The family of the killed young man certainly will.
I believe he was referring to the families involved and that is who I believe do not deserve such a fate. Sorry if my comment is ambiguous.
A lot of things in life are not deserved, but what's the alternative in this case? RELEASE the kid for the sake of "the families involved"???
Totally agree…you nailed it.
Wish I had worded it better
I knew what you meant... it was : No one deserves to lose a child... correct me if I am mistaken.
I got lucky!
Horsesh*t. Unless you're advocating for the death penalty, and not the mistake of thinking there aren't people who deserve severe punishment. Take your misplaced suicidal empathy and put it somewhere it will actually do good instead of perpetuating harm to innocents.
Sorry, I didn’t receive the appointment to judge such situations
Your apology is wasted in my opinion...and totally unnecessary ... apparently @rural counsel hasn't read Jenna's Side Reply Rules.
Have you never made a mistake?
Has God ever shown you mercy?
Has no one ever been merciful to you?
Remove the 2x4 out of your own eye and get the hate out of your own heart.
I fail to understand the reasoning for your comment, but to respond to your overall guised criticisms... I have made more mistakes than I can count, and received an equal number of blessing (that being more than I can count)... I have no 2x4 in my eye and can see very clearly, thank you... Further, I don't hate anyone, only the way people present themselves with rudeness and lack of respect... and along that line, my comment was not to you... and you may want to revisit the comments that I was addressing... perhaps reading Jenna's Side Reply Rules would be beneficial for you as well.
A typical gutless response. Outsourcing your critical judgment skills to others so you never take responsibility. Why am I not surprised?
I don’t deal in hatred. It only causes harm in those perpetuate it.
Color me not surprised. That moral weak thinking is destroying our civilization, allowing the barbarians to take over. Sunday school philosophies won't keep you and yours alive.
You sound just like those protesting outside the courthouse. You and Anthony Burkett are NO DIFFERENT. Just like demonicRATS and Muslims. They’re the same.
I agree. The Metcalf family must live forever without any hope of seeing or speaking to their son this side of eternity.
The parents tried to. They wanted another 1.4 million smackers. GoFundMe shut it down and said “NOPE”. Refunded the money to those who had donated. And they changed their policy to where the money goes into a trust fund managed by a lawyer and (if I understand correctly,) has to be used to pay an attorney to represent the accused.
Last I heard all the other fundraising sites also said “NO”
So has he started another GoFundMe?

Thomas Sowell, monumental intellect. Also Walter Williams.
And Dr. Ben Carson? I knew when I hit "Send", I'd be leaving out greats. Can you imagine a "Let's Do This" tour of such a group of worthies inviting everyone to come hear a rational discussion of "the problem(s) of race"? Sold-out venues... No doubt "the actors" would demur in favor of others they thought better-credentialed to speak. Not to mention putting "reason" back in the spotlight.
Yes, love Dr. Carson too! That would be amazing.
Walter Williams has been dead for a few years (if I’m not mistaken) and he still intellectually towers over the best minds the left has to offer.
Thomas Sowell is a national treasure and should be held up as such by all.
You may want to add a /s at the end of that last sentence. Not everyone has a sarcasm filter.
Appreciate the suggestion, but I’m not going to make it easier for the slower folks.
In most cities it is illegal to carry a knife on any school campus, especially one long enough to reach a human heart.

BINGO.

I saw that!! 🤦♀️🤬

🤦♀️ do you know for a fact because clearly everybody that voted for trump just associated themselves including you With racism.
Jasmine Crockett has forever ruined my love for the name Jasmine. UGH.
My favorite cat’s name was Jasmine. She was way brighter and more charismatic than that reprehensible CONgress Critter. Good riddance.
Think of jasmine as the sweet smelling flower, instead of "Jazzy," the racist. She'll soon fade in the rear-view mirror.
Or even Crockett, which would have been a great name for my next male dog. Now it shall never be…
Crockett, off Miami Vice. Jon Dohnson, back in The Day. *checks calendar. Still old* haha
Nah, go ahead and name that next dog Crockett! It will certainly do much to improve the name after the damage caused by this Crockett!
"Davy," otoh, is still right up there. ;^)
I do love the name David. 💕
(ohhh, I didn't mean thaaattttt... <blushing> I meant "Davy Crockett." ohhh, you probably knewwww that... <looking for exit>)
King of the Wild Frontier! <checks calendar, still old>
Or as we modest folk who hail from God's Country modestly prefer "Hero of La Misión San Antonio de Valero! (the Alamo.)"
I was referencing the Disney series. Having looked it up I now realize I was watching reruns. <checks calendar, not as old as originally thought ; ) >
😂
You're too funny! LOL!!!
Sadly, our Eclectus parrot's name is Jasmine.
And brings shame to the lauded Crockett name!
For sure, and I'm from San Antonio, how dare she.
I’m up the road from you in Spring Branch. Yes, we take great pride in the Crockett name around here, now sullied by the likes of that sorry excuse for a person. (It was just a little knife and he just stabbed him once. Who even thinks like that?!?!).
That is the comment that sent me over the edge too. It's okay to stab with a little knife? As in it's okay to commit a crime? From an actual legislator???? Should be expelled from Congress for justifying criminal behavior.
Most bullets are pretty small. Maybe that should factor in a murder charge?
How could Jasmine-mine-mine feel about being overdosed with morphine in her latte'? Not even as painful as a tiny-knife stab would. I mean all-it-is is you sleep to death... But it's the "little things" like "not being here anymore" that, sane, people seem to focus on. Even if the Jas-ebel is okay with her own murder, if it's done "neatly enough," it means the Compleat End of Society.
If there was ever any question about her despicable character, this caps it! Does she never hear the words that come out of her mouth?
She's pretty articulate, IMHO.
People who think like that should be presented with the opportunity to be stabbed, just once, by a little knife.
I'm reminded, again, of how much I hate-hate smug "teevee presenters" dismissing physical assaults with the throwaway line, "...the victim suffered non-life-threatening injuries."

Yeah, and that was just a .22! I carry a .40 or a .45. That would cause more than a little bit of invectives!
And your comment rings so true about this type of dimwit…the ones who cry Defund The Police, but are the first ones to call the police when something happens to THEM!
I imagine the reporter had at least one broken rib and a bruise the size of... the reporter.
Re: carrying "Thank you for your service." Do, as I've suggested elsewhere, your best to bring them to trial.
She IS cute, though. . . .
Only until she opens her fly trap.
She does not take any shit!
Why do you bring a knife to a track meet?
How many other athletes participating were carrying?
And going into other people's tents to steal stuff?
I keep hearing that it was a multi-tool which likely had a pliers to tighten or remove cleats. A knife is a tool or a weapon depending on its use. No excuse for what he did.
Nope, not a multitool. A folding lock blade knife.
The aggression & unhinged insanity of the thought processes & words of the spittle-spewing Karmelo “protesters” outside the courthouse - esp towards the Metcalf family - was shocking. As if they hadn’t suffered enough & won’t continue to do so the rest of their lives. And then the nerve to appeal.
Little big man w/ the knife also trembled, cried & refused to look up during the victim impact statements, even when asked to do so by the father & twin brother. I predict “Karmela” in his prison future.
"(Karmelo or fill in name) could have been my son." - Hussein Obama
That man did so much harm to our country. I didn’t vote for him, but so many of my friends channeled their white guilt and helped him get elected.
Until the media stops hyper sensationalizing a racial aspect of every story, we’re never going to move forward as a nation. JPeach is right - they only do it for money in their pocket. Meanwhile, a nation remains divided.
LMPD shot and killed an unarmed white man a few weeks ago. The officer has been fired and will be charged. Did you hear about that?
LMPD?
Louisville metro police department. The same dept that did not murder Breonna Taylor
Well done Jenna. The formula at the now defunct MSNBC was trial-by-media. The former hosts have a podcast that continues the charade. They exaggerate and ignore the full story. They convicted not only Kyle Rittenhouse but many others including Bill Barr, Matt Gaetz, General Flynn and were most vocal that President Trump colluded with Russians. It is a sickness
“This isn’t just about one case. It’s about what happens when the public’s legal system is built on clips, captions, and outrage cycles that never end. The courtroom becomes a formality, and the real trial is the one that lives forever online.”
Thanks Rich! ☺️
Hope.

Nice to see the era of the race-baiting hustler being elected to public office coming to an end. Our congress has way too many of those as it is.
Jasmine and her ilk will not be missed.
There were several people posting daily trial testimony, so it was easy to see how the trial progressed against him. Jury back in 3 hours. When verdict read, KA's family, & supporters left, didn't even stay for the sentencing to support him.
They had to get back to that nice new house they bought using his GoFundMe money. Or maybe they have a new cruise planned and they had to go pack. You know the cruise that was funded by his GoFundMe.
They had to quickly be in front of the cameras outside to keep the racist theme going
Well, I guess somebody has got to get out there and get busy spending that GoFundMe cash. It isn’t going to spend itself.
I was kinda confused with the two poll choices - Murder and Justice. To me, that was the same answer? ICYMI?
Or if you’re a dork like me and have sh**ty aim with my phone screen, I’m the sole person who voted for self defense! And it was by accident. 🤣 Ignore that vote!
We appreciate your honesty lol 😆
Me too. Convicted of murder, Justice for the victim’s family.
I agree - I wanted to choose both.
How on earth can he claim poverty, no way to defend himself, with a $650,000 GFM?
It looks like (*from media coverage, which I trust less than day-old shrimp cocktail) his family used the money for "personal use and basic living costs." https://www.nationalreview.com/news/family-of-convicted-killer-karmelo-anthony-pocketed-630k-in-donations-before-fundraisers-closure/
If I came into a windfall of $650,000, I'm pretty sure I'd have some left a year later to pay some legal fees. What a complete scam!
Pretty sure a new house and a big black Escalade are basic. 🙄
Jenna, my like button is working today. I powered down my laptop yesterday and it must have updated safari, and thus my phone safari too.
The family needed that $650k for “stuff”.
