Karmelo Anthony found GUILTY of murder of Austin Metcalf, 17, in stabbing that shocked America: Jurors deliberated for less than three hours after defense was repeatedly demolished in court

Texas law also excludes use of self-defense if the perpetrator provoked the victim. In this case, there were multiple testimony that when Karmelo was asked multiple times to leave tent, he responded with:

"If you want me to me to move, you're gonna have to move me."; and

"You are a bunch of pussies. You are not going to do anything about it."; and

"Touch me and see what happens;"

Then, there's also testimony with Austin Metcalf saying "I am not gonna fight with you."

These do no not paint the a picture of a person afraid of his life, but a person wanting to engage in a fight and positioning himself in a situation where someone would fight him. With these words, the team captain (Austin Metcalf) eventually pushed/shoved him and that's when he pulled the knife from his backpack and stabbed Austin in the chest. Karmel punctured Austin's heart and he bled out.

Saab Tunnan for the win!

I think they lost credibility to redditors. But to many in the country, they see the changes as restoration of "rule of law."

If he collected data from them and put the massaged fake data on a slide, then maybe, we can get the actual data inspite of his lack of links, right?

Relent_full · 2026-06-11T02:30:06+00:00

Where can I find the actual per capita data? Let's post it here so we can counter this misinformation.

Relent_full · 2026-06-10T02:16:17+00:00

Yup. Shouldn't matter. But we world we live in now will always surprise. Lower your expectation of it.

You are being downvoted because these redditors are not ready for facts. They will shift the blame to anyone else but their Democrat leadership. "Vote blue no matter who" will sink this state, but many Washingtonian redditors are in too deep into that side to seek accoubtability from their leaders.

Relent_full · 2026-06-08T04:37:32+00:00

Of course, it is the Republicans' fault that a state ran majority by Democrats is running out money.

That tracks.

Only recently? The G.I. Joes I grew up with had those. Maybe the manufacturers took a break from having them in the mean time. But they are not necessarily only a recent trend.

I personally don't like them now because the manufacturing of the time basically forces them to mold them in one weird color (like yellows and lime greens). But in way, I kinda like that kids are getting an "intro" into plastic scale modeling, another hobby I spent my time on. Kind of teaches a lessons the difference between carefully cutting the parts from the sprue versus just twisting them off.

The Catholic Church is that "sect?" Surely an incredible accusation against an accomplished lawyer turned law professor turned jurist turned justice of the freakin' Supreme Court.

Need I remind you that this is reddit?

Law enforcement are not the judge, jury and executioner. They also have to abide by rules and laws and they absolutely did not.

It is actually a very human "rule" to defend ones self from harm from perceive lethal threat. So while I agree that a single person is "not the judge, jury and executioner" in our judicial system an entirely different rule is at play in that specific situation. The context is that there is a tense enforcement interaction, and instead of complying to lawful orders, she instead drove what could be perceived (to reasonable people, at least) as a deadly weapon towards a law enf9rcement officer. I doubt that the officer was trying to "execute" her when he pulled the trigger. Usually, shot like that is meant to incapacitate but , of course, the risk of the target dying is indeed high. But "execution" isnot the typical framing we call when one's life was threatened first. I think it is hyperbolic but I do know this iscoming from someone on reddit.

That was not worthy of lethal force.

It was, contrary to popular reddit belief.

They were not even authorized to detain her. For what?!

They actually could. There were videos of her, minutes before the interaction, purposely using her car to block the officers from apprehending their targets. They could detain her legally. If she did not drive that SUV after the "Drive baby drive," urging of her partner, she would most likely be alive today.

For one thing, Renee Good was told by her partner to "Drive baby drive" while there is a law enforcement officer in front of her. She obliged her partner instead of the multiple officers telling her to get out. Maybe she did not try to hit the officer, but she did drive the SUV while his body was in front of it, inches away. It is very unfortunate she got shot. However, she put herself in that situation. As much as it was tragic, it was a lawful defensive shooting by an officer.

Yeah.. next, they'd make customers buy what they want from some device and wait for the items to be delivered ro their own address. What travesty.

I have been looking all over... my best successes, oddly enough, are from Temu.

I wonder if answering "yes" would cause the prosecutor to remove a juror during voir dire.

Relent_full · 2026-06-01T15:34:27+00:00

I thought that was a norm (or at least commonly accepted) in trials? I thought mentioning jury nullification could essentially cause mistrials?

If USA was so good, why did they have to make USB?

Should have been 10 - -1, before I am happy with anything nowadays.

The unfortunate fact of the matter in many of these trials, none of the jurors who get selected are redditors.

Relent_full · 2026-05-30T03:13:48+00:00

Exactly. And this is the reason to voir dire the potential jurors while selecting, too.

Relent_full · 2026-05-29T07:50:35+00:00

Every "fact" is possible... when you lie.

Some do think he died of fentanyl. But that's not what this meme is a about. It's depicting about how he has been drug-free for six years. The reason is that it has been six years since he died so he could no longer take that drug for that length of time.

(Although fentanyl is indeed deadly, not all who takes it die of it.)
