not surprised at all. this case did not garner anything close to the national attention riot starting cases got. and the facts were really were not even close. there isn't any even far fetched argument that anthony was not guilty.

We see vids every day of this subculture in action. Violence, can't control their emotions or reactions, perpetual victimhood, blaming whitey or police or someone else for their circumstances, grifting, entitlement, continuing to elect bad leaders and propping up race hustlers as voices of truth. An all to eager Dem Party and media willing to cater to that nonsense and excuse it.

On 740, did I hear KA could get out in 17.5 years? Surely, that is not correct?


Technically yes, but by far the most likely outcome is he isn't out before 25 years. Even that is only if he changes who he is in prison. If he keeps the same outlook and attitude he does now, he'll probably end up serving all 35.


Too lenient either way. To me this easily fit the case of lock the door and throw away the key for life

I share your disposition. But I think what the jury considered is that he was 17 at the time. If he would have been in his upper 20's or older, I think he might have gotten the key thrown away.

His life is ruined regardless of the sentence. If everything goes perfect he's not getting out until he is an older adult. He won't get able to get a good job, he won't have his prime earning years to build a financial base, he likely will never be in a position to have a family, a home or a decent life - even after he gets out.

I understand Metcalf gets none of these considerations. But as humans so completely dependent of God's grace, it crosses my mind that it might be good that he was given some grace. As much I as I was hoping for 75 years, it is hard to say the jury did not make a wise decision.

If the kid is smart (yeah, I know), he will take the opportunity to get a Law degree on the tax payer's dime, and when he gets out, he could practice law and make himself some darn good money and have a half decent life. Now, will he do that? Naw.

I hear you. But as a felon, it is almost impossible to get a decent job. Most occupations that require a license - you are out. Then a decent company, even if they want to hire you, has liability with this type of hire. So they won't make that hire. If that person commits a crime at work - particularly with another employee, you are toast. Insurance companies covering other companies don't like it either. It's not worth the risk. And since there are other "non felon" options, so you move on to the next guy.

Texas bans felons from practicing law but other states supposedly allow it after a vigorous character test - whatever that means. I have a better chance of playing in the NBA than he does of becoming a lawyer. But if he can pull it off I would say he probably deserves it.

Regardless of the sentence, this guy ruined his life in every way imaginable.

No. I've maintained this car never had that viral meme moment. This wasn't the rare dead black kid to a white (or close enough to white). Additionally this never had a vital meme moment.

Example... George Floyd had the still screen grab of Chauven on top of him. Was it out of context? Absolutely. Did it meme? Yes.

I do not understand that decision at all. But as I reflect on this whole situation, it is hard to judge both families on any of their actions. It is unimaginable what both families have been through mentally and emotionally the past year and you wonder if either of them could be at their best relative to decisions.

But what strikes me as really strange, or perhaps telling, is I would have thought KA's parents would have the decency to look over at the Metcalf's and publicly apologize. I wouldn't have expected to be forgiven by the Metcalf's. But could they have at least said, "I am sorry"? I just can't help but think that would have gone a long way.

In a sense that shows what underlies this whole story with the Anthony's. Their son is still the victim. He literally killed a person and it appears they still think they are the victims. And that disposition is a big part of why KA is in this situation right now and meeting these consequences.


They were waiting for the Metcalfs to apologize to them. Oh and donate to the fund.

35 years? I'm good with that in this case.
  • Young first time offender
  • No prior run-ins
  • Highly unlikely he'll get out of his new gated community in under 20
  • Opportunity knocks - he can stay out of trouble and leave with associate degrees and a trade. The ball is in his court.
Ask someone who has done hard time as a first time offender whether they want to go back. 20 years is Hell. Second and third timers who sneer at the judge….that's "home" where they know your name.
Being in TexAgs jail changes a man……..no, not really

Not that I think this individual does a lot of self reflection, but it would be fun to ask him what he thinks he accomplished other than making a scene and drawing cameras. What influence did you think this show would have on others? How did you think it would reflect on how black people are perceived by others? And did that in some way advance the cause or position of black people?


My perception is that his emotions behind his show were something like "look how black I am and you cannot stop me from doing what I want - that is power"

What he doesn't seem to see is that no one is trying to stop him, and no one cares. Most, like me, want him to be free to express himself however he wishes as long as it doesn't harm others. If you want to jump around like a fool, by all means be a fool.

When I was the DA in rural west Texas, I often pondered why this segment of our society commits an inordinate number of crimes. And the statistics for this are the same in rural America as they are in Houston, Dallas, etc.

My 2 kids are now 38&36. When they were around 10&8 years old, as part of the confirmatioin process at the Methodist Church, the kids had to attend 3 different religous services. One was a service at a Jewish synagogue in Lubbock and another was a black church in the town where we lived. I had just indicted a black city council woman so I went to this service with our church to make sure my kids would be OK.

The oldest black child in the church was around 8 years old. The next black male in age to this 8 year old was a 75-80 year old black gentleman. No black male in between those ages. This spoke volumns to me. These kids have no role models to emulate, in a good way. Plus, the entitlement they have because they come from generations that have received government handouts without having to do any work. The violence has escalated since the Micheal Brown shooting in 2016. I believe that is when that occurred. Worsened with George Floyd. But for modern times, really got going with Rodney King 30+ years ago.

And I don't see any way to turn it around. When I see a black family out, with both father and mother, with well behaved children, I actually celebrate that. And that is really a sad statement. I celebrate something that should be an every day occurrence.

Rioters are nearly always lead by paid agitators. I think USAID's cutoff is part of that reduction in rioting behavior.

Also, covid era was mass unemployment/boredom/rage against the government fueled. Tough to go riot if you have a job that pays benefits to go to the next day.

I agree there wasn't much of a defense that he could put on. That said, I also don't think the 35 years really came about from anything he did, at least not anything more than a public defender would have done. I think the defendant's age and not already having a rap sheet played the biggest role. Jury wanted to be tough but not write a 17 year old off forever.

Black-on-black violent crime was worse in the 60s-70s, went down, then spiked again in the early 1990's when crack cocaine showed up

I don't know about inter-racial violent crime

CourtTV stream. You can scroll back to see announcement. These people are ****ing loons.


45:25 to be exact. These people are insane.

Start around the 40:00 mark. You have the Green Goblin saying that it will be Manslaughter because someone is dead and ol' White Guilt saying Not Guilty because the jury came back so fast, and then once it came back Guilty of Murder, they both start stroking out. As the host is talking, you hear the Green Goblin having a melt as her mic is still on.

Question... KA's father that was at the trial. Is that his biological father or step father?

I know plenty of step dads that don't see or allow a distinction. Just curious here. What kind of male role model this kid had.

Good kids do have phases, especially during puberty, and explore new avenues; music, friends, fashion... With strong role models most circle back.

I'm guessing that was not the case here.

There is video of Austin's brother and some family leaving last night. They were followed to their car with people screaming "I'm glad Austin's dead" and "Why won't you admit Austin was a bully!". There is also video of KA's mom leaving in a car and holding her hands into a heart and screaming "Racial Bias!"

All of that crap is sickening. Where is the accountability for bringing a knife to a track meet and saying "Touch me and see what happens". The victim mentality has got to stop and that comes directly from strong parenting.

35 years is way too lenient but I guess acceptable IF and only if every single day is served.

A large % of that culture is beyond repair and we would be better off if they were all emigrated. Short of that, as they are not getting it from their parents, in the home, in the church, or in the school, society at large needs to mercilessly enforce law and order and discipline. Maybe they will learn, maybe they won't, they want to keep up with the thug life and victim mentality, so be it, not my problem, but they need to suffer the harshest of penalties as consequences for their actions. Nothing to be excused, not even petty retail theft, put them in jail for it.

It's worse. She's pretending to be stupid because she feels that reaches her base better. She went to prep school and is well spoken (there is an old televised Dallas station interview with her where she speaks eloquently with no ghetto slang whatsoever).

She CHOOSES to play this character to further the racial divide in this country. She knows exactly what she's doing.

If she were simply an idiot it would be easier to dismiss. It's very insidious and evil.

Trash people.

And someone needs to tell them that it's "We're" or "We are". It's not that difficult to learn.

Unless you are functionally r*tarded.
