I think this is a watershed moment in this country.
Karmelo Anthony, 17, was released from jail after his $1 million bond was cut to $250,000.
Curious that it was dropped to below the amount that was raised for him online.
He’s accused of fatally stabbing teen Austin Metcalf during a fight over a seat at a track meet.
Anthony will await trial at home under 24-hour supervision and an ankle monitor.
He’s charged with first-degree murder.
Why does it seem that the slightest perception of disrespect, (be it real or not) is instantly met with a threat of violence?
Those that push the agenda that Anthony is the victim are overplaying their hand, can’t read the room, and are doing so to their own peril.
🚨 #BREAKING: Karmelo Anthony, who kiIIed Austin Metcalf in COLD BLOOD, has been RELEASED on bond
This is INSANE.
Earlier today, the judge cut his bond by 75%. His fundraising campaigns have raised WELL beyond that amount.
Injustice. https://t.co/AijVsMltNC pic.twitter.com/oU0PSmtW2R

New York Post reports:
The Texas teen accused of fatally stabbing another high schooler at a track meet was released from jail Monday after posting a reduced $250,000 bond and will remain on house arrest until his trial.
A judge in Collin County slashed the 17-year-old Karmelo Anthony’s initial $1 million bond and said he may await trial at home with an ankle monitor and 24-hour supervision from his parents or an “adult designee.”
Anthony has been locked in Collin County Jail for allegedly stabbing Austin Metcalf, also 17, in the heart during a fight over a seat at a track meet on April 2. He is charged with first-degree murder.
Witnesses told cops Metcalf tried to shove Anthony, who attended a rival high school, out of a pop-up tent when Anthony grabbed a knife from his backpack and stabbed Metcalf in the heart, leaving him to bleed out in his twin brother’s arms, according to a police report.
ADVERTISEMENTThe lowered bond came one week after Anthony’s attorney said they would ask the court to lower the “excessive” $1 million bond and also ask the local district attorney to make “a better determination” of the charges.
The stone-faced teen said nothing to reporters Monday afternoon as he walked out of the Collin County jail, where he had just been sprung from after posting bond, according to footage taken by Fox 4.
Even if the boy is convicted of first-degree murder, he will not face the death penalty, Collin County District Attorney Greg Willis revealed last week.
“The Supreme Court has said not only can you not seek the death penalty against someone who committed a crime when they’re 17, you can’t even get them life without parole. That would not be something we could do even if we wanted to,” Willis told WFAA.
And who’s the judge that let him go?
I’m glad you asked.

I hope everyone got to hear her speak about ‘diversity’ two months ago.

If he was White, would the bond be reduced?

A black teen fatally stabs a white teen in the heart, and a black judge reduces his bail from $1 million to $250,000. And he walks free. Yet they want you to believe that white supremacy is the real problem.

This story is getting more ludicrous by the day.
Karmelo Anthony has posted bond and made it home. He shall be protected and allowed to fight his case. No matter whose side you’re on, everyone is innocent until proven guilty. While this case has stoked racial tensions, I hope we can all sit back and allow things to play out. pic.twitter.com/vnbWmcm8YA

Just because his knife ended up in the heart of another teen, that’s probably just an accident. I mean, who hasn’t owned a knife that’s done that?
And for his trouble, he get’s $400k.
Karmelo Anthony’s family, following his murder charge in the killing of Austin Metcalf, plans to use $400,000 in donations to buy a new home and hire security amid alleged “racist threats.”

If only Biden or Kamala were President. Then this poor kid would probably get $10 million to make up for “trauma”, right?
Clown world is on full display.
