And they’re proud of that fact, based on my own experience.
In the meantime, Jeff Metcalf has resigned from his real estate firm, citing hostility from co-workers. It’s the New York Post, so it’s one of those FWIW sources.
For the record, I’m not.
You don’t want that the law and society to treat him and his family fairly? Quicker vengeance then?
That’s a really poor job of reading there. The quoted part said:
You can disagree with that and still want the law to treat him fairly.
What? No, I don’t take “for granted, based on the details now known, that fair treatment for Anthony is going to involve a jail sentence for some variant of unlawful killing.” I think it’s entirely possible that he could simply be vindicated.
That would be a charitable reading, but TOWP has not earned charity.
It’s an accurate reading.
I’m not TOWP’s fan in any way, but that doesn’t justify making shit up either.
Don’t forget the trial before the jail sentence.
When I lived in my old town back in the 00s, a young man who lived there went back to his rural Iowa hometown for a “visit”, and while he was there killed his parents and 2 or 3 siblings. Most likely, the motive was money, if he even had one. He was arrested after he got back home, and one of my co-workers said, “He needs to be executed for this.” I told her that he couldn’t be; Iowa does not have the death penalty, and he hadn’t been tried yet anyway.
“But he lives here!” she answered.
“The crimes happened in Iowa, and those are the laws he’ll be tried under.” The verdict was, of course, LWOP.
I did not know him, or AFAIK anyone else who did.
AFAIK there are really no updates to the initial story, but THIS story has gone viral. A white woman in the Rochester, NY area called a 5-year-old black child the “N” word after the child took something out of her toddler’s diaper bag. Someone else recorded the incident, the video went viral, Mom claims she got doxxed, and the GSG for her is north of $500,000. I did notice that a lot of the donations were $5, which makes me think they did this just so they could comment, the way GFM does.
Correction: She was in Minnesota, not New York.
Well, they’re the OP of the thread, and the title does say that racists are coming out of the woodwork. They wouldn’t want to be proven wrong, you know?
Update: There’s a lot of talk about how the man who filmed her calling that child the Very Bad Name was a convicted sex offender, having done something inappropriate with a teenager. Okay, that’s bad (hey, Kyle Rittenhouse shot one, but he couldn’t have known that either) but it doesn’t negate what this woman did, or the aftermath.
Where?
Lol, is this now the new home of the Black Crimes section from Breitbart?
This poster is trying really really hard get a reaction from their racism-tinged posting. Have any more anecdotes about Black folks you want to share? What are they eating this time?
Black folks murder White children and use their blood to make corn bread!
/s!

Karmelo Anthony indicted for first degree murder
I heard that too. It’s about time.
Update: It’s now up to 536K and is still active.
I thought “first-degree” murder didn’t exist in Texas?
It doesn’t.
PENAL CODE
TITLE 5. OFFENSES AGAINST THE PERSON
CHAPTER 19. CRIMINAL HOMICIDE
Sec. 19.01. TYPES OF CRIMINAL HOMICIDE.
(a) A person commits criminal homicide if he intentionally, knowingly, recklessly, or with criminal negligence causes the death of an individual.
(b) Criminal homicide is murder, capital murder, manslaughter, or criminally negligent homicide.
It doesn’t exist in Texas. It’s bad reporting.
I was curious why so many news reports were giving this erroneous info and then I figured it out. It’s because of a statement from the victim’s family. The press is just regurgitating it uncritically, regardless of what the actual indictment is.
In a statement to CBS News Texas, Austin Metcalf’s father, Jeff, said he’s pleased the process is moving forward.
“With the first-degree murder indictment, it now goes into the court system,” said Jeff Metcalf.
Since in other states that’s actually a real charge, reporters just take that statement as fact and repeat it.
He was indicted for “murder” in this case. That doesn’t sound as exciting as “first degree murder”. They might as well call it “super double secret probationary murder” while they’re at it.
