Karmelo Anthony, charged with murder, will get HS diploma in 'moment of dignity' — but won't walk commencement stage: Report



Karmelo Anthony — the Texas high school senior charged with murdering 17-year-old Austin Metcalf at a Frisco track meet last month — will graduate from Centennial High School and receive his diploma but won't participate in commencement activities, WFAA-TV reported, citing the Next Generation Action Network, an organization advocating for Anthony.

Police arrested Anthony and charged him with first-degree murder after Metcalf was fatally stabbed April 2 at Kuykendall Stadium. Anthony has been on house arrest since his April 14 release from jail, when a judge lowered his bond from $1 million to $250,000. Days later, Anthony reportedly was moved to an undisclosed location after court approval over an "alarming increase in death threats."

'I want to be clear. No student who commits a serious criminal offense (Title V felony) is permitted to participate in the graduation ceremony.'

The NGAN in a news release said Anthony's family reached an agreement with the Frisco Independent School District in which Anthony can graduate without having to attend the final six weeks of classes, after having completed the necessary credits, WFAA reported. However, Anthony won't "participate in any senior graduation activities," the station said, citing the release.

Dominique Alexander, the president of NGAN, called Anthony's graduation "a moment of dignity for Karmelo and a reminder of the power of advocacy done right," WFAA said.

Alexander made headlines when he called Jeff Metcalf — the father of murder victim Austin Metcalf — "disrespectful" for showing up at an April 17 news conference for the Anthony family. After Dallas police were called to the news conference, Jeff Metcalf was seen departing the venue.

Alexander told those gathered at the news conference that Metcalf "was not invited," that "he knows that it's inappropriate to be near [the Anthony] family," and that his presence at the news conference not only "shows you all" his "character" but was also "a disrespect to the dignity of his son."

Alexander also ripped the Frisco ISD at the news conference, claiming district officials were intending to expel Anthony prior to graduation.

The Frisco ISD at the time provided Blaze News with the following statement when asked to comment on Alexander's claim that the district intended to expel Anthony:

While Frisco ISD cannot comment on an individual student's disciplinary record due to student privacy law, we can provide general information about District protocol and relevant law.

If a student in Frisco ISD is charged with a serious crime, called a Title V felony, the District looks at the case and decides if the student should be disciplined. The student and their parents will get a letter explaining what the school recommends.

If the school recommends expulsion, which means the student is removed from school, the student is not allowed to go on any Frisco ISD property while the decision is being made. A meeting will be held where the student can share their side of the story and show any evidence. After the meeting, the District will decide whether to go through with the expulsion and will let the student and parents know.

If the student is expelled, they might still get schoolwork and education through a special program called JJAEP. If the student has already finished everything needed to graduate, the district may let them graduate early instead of going to JJAEP. Whether the student is expelled or chooses to graduate early, they still can't go on any Frisco ISD property.

WFAA said the school district gave much the same response — citing privacy laws — in regard to the NGAN's insistence that Anthony will graduate and receive his diploma.

However, Frisco ISD Superintendent Mike Waldrip wrote an email to Centennial High School staff, students, and families that some news outlets falsely reported that Anthony would walk the stage on graduation day, WFAA said.

"Frisco ISD has learned that misinformation is being shared regarding Centennial High School’s graduation via several media outlets and perpetuated through social media. It is disheartening that the incredible accomplishments and achievements of our Centennial seniors may be dampened by needless fear-mongering, attention-seeking, and media vitriol. Our students, staff, and community deserve better," the letter stated, according to the station.

More from the letter, according to WFAA:

I want to be clear. No student who commits a serious criminal offense (Title V felony) is permitted to participate in the graduation ceremony. Additionally, anyone who trespasses on Frisco ISD property or at a District event will be subject to immediate removal and possible arrest by law enforcement.

Frisco ISD does not condone violence or crime in our schools or at our events and will not reward or celebrate those who hurt others. We work to ensure every student is safe to learn and feels part of our culture of respect, honor, and integrity.

Let’s come together as a community to honor and support our students and staff. This moment is about their success, and they deserve our full attention and encouragement. Congratulations to the Centennial Class of 2025!

Soon after the April 2 stabbing, the arresting officer said Anthony reportedly told him, "I was protecting myself," before the officer questioned him about the incident, WFAA reported, citing the arrest affidavit.

Anthony also reportedly told the officer that Metcalf "put his hands on [him]," the station said, citing the affidavit, after which Anthony was handcuffed.

The arresting officer soon told a fellow officer arriving on the scene that he had the alleged suspect — and Anthony reportedly interjected, "I'm not alleged; I did it," WFAA reported.

A witness reportedly noted to police that Metcalf — an athlete for Memorial High School — told Anthony he had to move from under his team's tent, the station said, citing the affidavit. With that, Anthony opened his bag and reached inside, the witness told police, WFAA said.

"Touch me and see what happens," Anthony told Metcalf, the station added, citing a witness.

Metcalf reportedly touched Anthony, the witness told an officer, and Anthony told Metcalf to punch him and see what would happen, WFAA reported.

The witness said Metcalf then reportedly grabbed Anthony, after which Anthony reportedly pulled out what the witness recalled as a black knife and stabbed Metcalf once in the chest before running away, according to the station, citing the affidavit.

Metcalf reportedly grabbed his chest and told others to get help, the witness told police, according to WFAA.

While Anthony was in the back seat of a police vehicle, an officer saw fresh blood on his left middle finger, the station said, citing the affidavit.

WFAA, citing the document, said that while Anthony was in the back seat of the vehicle, he also reportedly asked the officer if Metcalf was going to be OK. While being escorted to the squad car, Anthony asked an officer if his actions could be considered self-defense.

A GiveSendGo fund for Anthony sits at nearly $529,000 as of Wednesday afternoon.

Anthony's father contended in an interview with the New York Post that “everyone has already made their assumptions about my son, but he’s not what they’re making him out to be." Anthony's father added to the paper that his son "was not the aggressor" and is "a good kid. He works two jobs. He’s an A student, has a 3.7 GPA."

Racial firestorm brewing? New, bold voice fuels ‘Karmelo Anthony grift’



Dr. Umar Johnson — a black activist, psychologist, and motivational speaker widely known as the "Prince of Pan-Africanism” — has weighed in on the “Karmelo Anthony grift.”

On a recent episode of "The Art of Dialogue," Johnson painted Anthony as the sole victim. Jason Whitlock plays the clip.

“Hunter is a 225-pound football player. Hunter is nearly 60 to 70 pounds heavier than Karmelo by himself, but he was not by himself. Hunter was with his brother Austin. Austin is around Hunter's size as well,” Johnson said.

He argued that as a “160-pound black boy” facing “two white boys in racist Texas, both of whom are 60 to 70 pounds heavier,” with intentions to “accost [him] physically,” Karmelo had every right to defend himself.

“I have received text messages from eyewitnesses, and you know what they told me? They said both brothers tried to jump Karmelo. In the state of Texas, you have the right to stand your ground,” Johnson snapped. “If you feel that your life or safety is in imminent danger, you have a right to defend yourself to include using deadly force.”

As for the knife Anthony was allegedly carrying at a school-sponsored event, Johnson justified it by saying, “He's a black man in Texas. Why wouldn't he have a knife?”

From the get-go, Jason’s take on the Karmelo Anthony/Austin Metcalf incident has been that “this is cold-blooded murder ... a simple case of someone overreacting to a verbal conflict.” However, watching the fallout as groups rally to support both boys has led him to believe that the incident is being used as a “stick of dynamite ... to spark violent racial conflict.”

“Umar Johnson is part of lighting the fuse,” he says. “Maybe his inside information is right. ... I don’t believe that’s the actual narrative.”

Granted “we live in a cell phone society,” there’s a good possibility that a video recording will soon reveal the truth.

“Dominique Alexander of the Next Generation Action Network said that he was told there's video evidence of what transpired,” says Jason.

“At some point, they're going to release the video of what happened to Austin Metcalf. ... When that video is released, it's going to be so one-sided and look so bad for Karmelo Anthony and the people that supported Karmelo Anthony,” he predicts, adding that its aim is to be “as triggering as the George Floyd video was in 2020.”

“I believe this video is intended to trigger white people and to so repulse them that they just say, ‘Man, all these black people that supported Karmelo Anthony, this media that wouldn't tell us the truth ... this media that has imposed this racist double standard — this is the line in the sand.”’

“What we just heard from Dr. Umar Johnson was just another piece to the puzzle of stirring this Karmelo Anthony/Austin Metcalf pot to a point that it bubbles over and explodes and there's some sort of racial conflict that happens in the Dallas and the Frisco, Texas, area,” Jason hypothesizes. “They're hoping that it spreads and that it so hardens the hearts of white America that the entire desire to achieve any type of racial harmony in America disappears.”

To hear Whitlock’s take on the dark, racially divided future the radical left is conspiring to facilitate, watch the episode above.

GiveSendGo founder on the truth behind Karmelo Anthony’s account



GiveSendGo founder Jacob Wells has come under fire for platforming Karmelo Anthony, whose family has raised hundreds of thousands of dollars on the platform after Anthony allegedly stabbed and killed Austin Metcalf.

While the entire story of what really happened has yet to be told, Wells has defended his decision to platform Anthony from a position of Christian and conservative values.

“I’m sure you’re familiar with Kyle Rittenhouse,” Wells tells Jason Whitlock on “Jason Whitlock Harmony.” “When his campaign was kicked off of GoFundMe and every other platform, all the other crowdfunding platforms, Facebook shutting it down, whatever — it landed on our platform.”


“We saw massive amounts of hate from the left at that moment, massive amounts of information, misinformation, being posted throughout the media about the situation. And we said, ‘Well, you know what, there’s actually a principle here that people ought to be presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law, not public opinion,’” Wells explains.

“It’s a biblical position,” he continues. “So we allowed that campaign. And then that kind of opened up the door where people said, ‘Well, here’s a platform that’s just not canceling people whenever, like GoFundMe has been and still does,’” he continues.

This reputation the platform has gained has attracted people who wanted to help people like the truckers in Canada and Daniel Penny.

“Daniel Penny’s campaign was another big one,” he says. “We’ve had many, many, legal defense funds for people that were accused of violent crimes, accused of murdering people by the prosecution.”

“And so we said, ‘You know what, this principle of presumption of innocence and not ruled by mobs really ought to be preserved in difficult circumstances,’ and that led us to where we are now,” he continues, noting that Karmelo Anthony’s family did not even start the campaign for him; it was someone else.

This was the same for Kyle Rittenhouse, as a stranger set up his GiveSendGo.

“So the Anthony family took over the campaign, and then in the process, a lot of fake news came out, as it does around all of these high-profile events, about the spending of funds, the use of funds being used for things like buying a Cadillac — fake news, not true — buying a house — fake news, not true — lots of fake news and a lot of racial tension narrative around it,” he explains.

“Pull race out of it; what the right really should be doing — and I would consider myself one, conservative, Christian, went to school to be a pastor, love people, understand that Jesus died for the worst of the worst, including myself,” he continues, “The right as being principled people ought to be saying, and this is what I didn’t see, is that ‘This is a horrible situation.’”

“The facts don’t look good for Karmelo Anthony, according to what we’ve seen so far,” he says, “But he ought to be given the same affording that was afforded to Daniel Penny and Kyle Rittenhouse.”

“Because as you begin to erode the principle for anyone, you begin to erode it for everyone,” he adds.

‘BLM all over again’: Woman risks life exposing Karmelo Anthony defender Dominique Alexander



Sarah Fields is not only a Republican Texas delegate, army veteran, and mother, but she’s also the woman behind exposing Karmelo Anthony’s most prominent defender, Dominique Alexander.

Alexander has caught wind of Fields' investigation, as he’s begun holding up her social media posts at press conferences and pointing the finger at her.

“It started with me sharing the arrest report, which I find pretty wild, because I requested the arrest report through an open records request to Frisco PD,” Fields tells Jason Whitlock on “Jason Whitlock Harmony.”


“As soon as I received it, I read it, and I posted it. All I said was ‘arrest report for Karmelo Anthony,’ and it went viral, it got millions of views, and I got threats. My family was threatened, I was threatened, I was called a racist, I was called a bigot for sharing an arrest report, an official document,” she continues.

What ended up really getting under Alexander’s skin was when Fields discovered that his fraudulent organization has filed nothing through the IRS since 2020 — and that he has a lengthy history of criminal behavior.

“It appears like money laundering, is what it looks like, and I have challenged him multiple times to share financial statements, and it’s funny — he doesn’t respond to that,” she explains. “He has no problem saying that it’s disrespectful, and that I’m a liar, but he hasn’t dispelled any of the supposed lies.”

“He hasn’t defended himself and said, ‘Actually, here’s documentation. Here’s receipts.’ He’s done none of that. He just says that I’m disrespectful and that I’m lying about him,” she continues, noting that Alexander even blamed Fields for the appearance of victim Austin Metcalf’s father at the press conference.

And while hundreds of thousands of dollars have been raised through the Anthony family’s GiveSendGo account, Fields doesn’t believe that money has been obtained honestly.

“I truly believe that the family and Dominique Alexander are trying to cash in. I believe that they were dishonest with the people who were donating to the GiveSendGo, especially since once they reached over $400,000 on the GiveSendGo, they then magically changed the description to say, ‘Oh, this isn’t actually just for legal funds. This is to cover all expenses, including relocating,’” Fields says.

“This looks like Black Lives Matter all over again,” Whitlock comments. “Except there is no dead black man or boy. There’s a black man or boy that has committed murder, and it’s like they can turn any situation — whether you get killed or whether you do the killing — you can be the victim worthy of raising money off of and then funneling the money any direction you want to go.”

Karmelo Anthony reportedly moved to undisclosed location after court approval over 'alarming increase in death threats'



Karmelo Anthony — the Texas teen charged with murdering high school athlete Austin Metcalf earlier this month — has been moved to an undisclosed location due to an "alarming increase in death threats," KDFW-TV reported.

The Next Generation Action Network, a group advocating for Anthony, told the station the location switch occurred after court approval.

'It is both heartbreaking and infuriating to see the depths of hate and bigotry still alive and well in our society.'

Anthony has been on house arrest since his April 14 release from jail when a judge lowered his bond from $1 million to $250,000. Police arrested Anthony and charged him with first-degree murder after Metcalf was fatally stabbed at an April 2 track meet at Kuykendall Stadium in Frisco.

NGAN told the station in a news release that in addition to death threats, there has been "continued harassment and physical intimidation targeted at the family's home."

More from KDFW:

Some of the harassment includes people visiting the Anthony family home, loitering and taking photos of the property, false food deliveries, disturbing mailings, including Austin Metcalf's obituary, and people repeatedly circling the family home, taking photos and attempting to provoke fear and intimidation, the news release states.

Dominique Alexander, NGAN's president, said a "dangerous atmosphere ... has been created — an atmosphere fueled by organized hate, systemic racism, and intentional misinformation," the station said, citing the news release.

"It is both heartbreaking and infuriating to see the depths of hate and bigotry still alive and well in our society," Alexander added, according to KDFW. "No family should have to live under siege simply because they are demanding their constitutional rights. We will not be silent, and we will not back down. We are committed to doing whatever is necessary to protect this family and to ensure that justice is pursued without intimidation or fear."

Alexander made headlines last week when he called Jeff Metcalf — the father of the murder victim — "disrespectful" for showing up at a Thursday news conference for the Anthony family. After Dallas police were called to the news conference, Jeff Metcalf was seen departing the venue.

Alexander told those gathered at the news conference that Metcalf "was not invited," that "he knows that it's inappropriate to be near [the Anthony] family," and that his presence at the news conference "shows you all" his "character."

Metcalf told the New York Post on Saturday that Alexander and Anthony's parents at the news conference "should have pulled me up [to the front] and said, ‘We are so sorry. Our condolences.’ The only thing I would have said was, ‘Okay, can we pray together and show the world we’re united[?]'"

What's more, just minutes after Metcalf was kicked out of the news conference, Frisco police said they responded to a report of a gunshot at his home — but soon determined the call was an attempt at "swatting," which is a false call intended to cause harm through a police response.

'Protect White Americans' rally

NGAN said another reason Anthony was moved to an undisclosed location was because of a "Protect White Americans" rally held Saturday in Frisco, KDFW reported.

The rally took place in the parking lot of Kuykendall Stadium, where Metcalf was fatally stabbed, the station said. Jake Lang of Florida, charged in the Jan. 6 riot at the U.S. Capitol, organized the rally, KDFW said.

The rally didn't make much of a splash and was sparsely attended, the station said. Police appeared to arrest two counterprotesters — one for allegedly pepper-spraying a rally attendee and the other for interfering in the counterprotester's arrest.

Lang said on X that he "broke into Kuykendall Stadium and got the first ever footage of Austin Metcalf's blood stained on the stadium floor," KDFW reported. Officials with the Frisco Independent School District said they filed trespassing charges against Lang for breaking into district property, the station reported, adding that Lang's video was from "the home side of the stadium. The incident occurred on the visitor side, which can be seen across the field when he turns the camera off himself."

In addition, video from the rally reportedly shows Lang speaking to Jeff Metcalf by phone and Metcalf telling Lang that he's "part of the f**king problem" and that Lang is "trying to create more race divide than bridging the gap." Lang is seen replying that Metcalf is exhibiting "white guilt."

On the other side of things, Karmelo Anthony's defenders have been going viral on social media, with one of them actually declaring that Metcalf "got exactly what he deserved — point blank, period."

Anything else?

Soon after the April 2 stabbing, the arresting officer said Anthony reportedly told him, "I was protecting myself," before the officer questioned him about the incident, WFAA-TV reported, citing the arrest affidavit.

Anthony also reportedly told the officer that Metcalf "put his hands on [him]," the station said, citing the affidavit, after which Anthony was handcuffed.

The arresting officer soon told a fellow officer arriving on the scene that he had the alleged suspect — and Anthony reportedly interjected, "I'm not alleged; I did it," WFAA reported.

A witness reportedly noted to police that Metcalf — who competed for Memorial High School — told Anthony he had to move from under his team's tent, the station said, citing the affidavit. With that Anthony opened his bag and reached inside, the witness told police, WFAA said.

"Touch me and see what happens," Anthony told Metcalf, the station added, citing a witness.

Metcalf reportedly touched Anthony, the witness told an officer, and Anthony told Metcalf to punch him and see what would happen, WFAA reported.

The witness said Metcalf then reportedly grabbed Anthony, after which Anthony reportedly pulled out what the witness recalled as a black knife and stabbed Metcalf once in the chest before running away, according to the station, citing the affidavit.

Metcalf reportedly grabbed his chest and told others to get help, the witness told police, according to WFAA.

WFAA, citing the document, said Anthony while he was in the back seat of the vehicle also reportedly asked the officer if Metcalf was going to be OK. While being escorted to the squad car, Anthony asked an officer if his actions could be considered self-defense.

A GiveSendGo fund for Anthony sits at just over $500,000 as of Tuesday morning.

Anthony's father contended in an interview with the New York Post that “everyone has already made their assumptions about my son, but he’s not what they’re making him out to be." Anthony's father added to the paper that his son "was not the aggressor" and is "a good kid. He works two jobs. He’s an A student, has a 3.7 GPA."

Alexander during last week's news conference ripped the Frisco ISD, claiming that district officials intend to expel Anthony — a senior at Centennial High School — prior to his graduation.

Phase 2 of Karmelo Anthony PYSOP: Trial relocation



Jason Whitlock sums up Karmelo Anthony’s alleged fatal stabbing of Austin Metcalf as follows: “A 17-year-old brought a knife to a high school event and stabbed someone over a typical teenage disagreement.”

Even though “this thing is so clear-cut,” the left is bent on using this atrocity to fuel a race war, and thus far, it’s working.

Some are trying to justify Anthony’s actions by saying Metcalf started it; Metcalf put his hands on Anthony; Metcalf called him the N-word.

But even if all three of those things are true, it still wouldn’t justify Anthony’s actions.

“I don't care if Austin Metcalf grabbed this dude's arm, grabbed his book pack,” says Jason. “I've been called the N-word by black people and white people throughout my life. Never grabbed a knife and stabbed anyone, never pulled a gun and shot anyone.”

“If you have that little self-control, if you're that easily triggered … you need to be on a reservation somewhere locked away from the rest of humanity and society that has more emotional control than that and doesn't buy into a culture that says any disrespect must be met with more disrespect,” he adds.

This "free Karmelo Anthony" “insanity” that we’re seeing, however, is “scripted insanity.” The whole ordeal, from the stories about Anthony’s family living a lavish lifestyle using the GiveSendGo funds to the support messages they’re receiving, is all part of a psyop that depends on stoking white fury.

The best thing white Americans can do is not play into it by adopting the same racial tactics.

Jason points to January 6 defendant Jake Lang as an example. While he respects Lang for “what he went through on January 6,” organizing a protest in Frisco with the slogan “protect white Americans” makes it clear that he doesn’t see “the big picture.”

A protest that “drums up more racial division” is exactly what they want.

“They want Charlottesville 2.0; they want January 6 2.0; they want some sort of race war, and they're going to send agitators to make sure that happens,” says Jason.

They need a racial conflict to ignite the next phase of their plan: relocating Anthony’s trial.

“The argument coming out of that will be we got to change venues — you can't have this trial in Collin County; you can't have this trial in Denton County. … We have to move this trial somewhere where we can get more black jurors on the jury,” predicts Jason.

“They want jury nullification; they want a mistrial; they want a hung jury. They know this kid is guilty, but they also know that black Americans have been so programmed, have been so brainwashed into anything that hurts white people is good for black people,” he explains.

This is why “they're happy that Jake Lang is leading a 'protect white Americans' rally in Frisco, Texas.”

Career criminal representing Karmelo Anthony sows chaos, blatantly disrespects victim's father



An activist from Next Generation Action Network is not only representing accused teen killer Karmelo Anthony but has a lengthy rap sheet of his own.

Minister Dominique Alexander, the appointed spokesperson for the alleged teen murderer, has been convicted on child abuse charges and allegations of domestic violence, but served almost zero prison time.

While on probation, Alexander was indicted on felony forgery charges, then in 2017 on felony theft charges of property between $2,500 and $30,000.

“The guy’s been convicted of several crimes,” Jason Whitlock of “Fearless” comments. “He’s reinvented himself as some sort of black activist. That’s the first sign that hey, there’s a problem here. A career criminal is the face of, ‘Hey, I’m fighting for justice for Karmelo Anthony and his family.’”


“They’re looking for justice for Karmelo Anthony,” Whitlock continues. “Who would take on that job? ‘We gotta get justice for the guy that [allegedly] stabbed and killed a 17-year-old.’ Who would do that? And why?”

And the latest press conference for Anthony’s family, led by Alexander, revealed Alexander’s true colors when Jeff Metcalf, the father of the slain teenager Austin Metcalf, showed up at the press conference himself.

“The father being at this press conference … is a disrespect to the dignity of his son,” said Alexander.

“That was disrespectful and just shows you all the character — he was not invited, he knows that it’s inappropriate to be near this family, but he did it,” the Next Generation Action Network president added.

“So this press conference that went 30 minutes yesterday started out with Dominique Alexander, the career criminal, the baby Al Sharpton of Texas. Austin Metcalf’s father, who came to the press conference. He wanted to hear what Karmelo Anthony and his family and their spokesman had to say,” Whitlock says.

“And they booted Austin Metcalf’s dad out of the press conference, and then Dominique Alexander, the man with virtually no command of the English language, took a dump on Austin Metcalf’s father,” he continues, adding, “Who’s the real victim here?”

How No-Consequence Schooling Turns Kids Like Karmelo Anthony Into Killers

We lower expectations, excuse bad behavior, and pretend that endless second chances build character. But they don’t.

Whitlock: Karmelo Anthony PSYOP goes FULL OJ Simpson



As Jason Whitlock watches the fallout of Karmelo Anthony’s fatal stabbing of Austin Metcalf, he’s reminded of O.J. Simpson’s 1995 trial. It was one of the most racially charged trials in U.S. history, exposing and deepening racial divides between black and white Americans.

“Karmelo Anthony is about to be the new O.J. Simpson,” says Whitlock.

“Black people celebrated when O.J. got off, and I'm not 100% that O.J. was the actual killer, but I certainly wasn't celebrating when O.J. got off, because O.J. had something to do with that crime, and everybody knows it,” he continues. “We celebrated it — ‘we paid the white man back; O.J. got off’ — [we celebrated] that two white people were murdered,” and now “we're doing it again with Karmelo Anthony.”

This entire ordeal is “a psyop,” says Jason, and the people who are behind it “want to frustrate white people” and “promote a racial conflict.”

The recent stories about Karmelo Anthony’s family purchasing a $900K home in a gated community and an Escalade using the funds from the "Help Karmelo Official Fund” are likely false or stretched truths designed to “raise the temperature” and “trigger people,” he says.

“They're putting out this false information because a psyop is going on, and I'm not seeing community notes to shut down the psyop, to shut down the bad information. They want everyone riled up; they want everybody saying, ‘Man, you see black folks gave a half million dollars to Karmelo Anthony?’”

The truth, he says, is that a facet of the black community is rallying behind Karmelo, but “most black people don't know or don't really care.”

“But online we've certainly created the perception that we are all on board with Karmelo Anthony,” Jason sighs, theorizing that the supportive comments on Karmelo’s GiveSendGo fund are most likely AI generated.

White Americans, he says, need to recognize that this psyop is designed to run on white fury.

“I understand why white people are frustrated, but why would you adopt the same tactics — racial idolatry — as the people you allegedly oppose?” he asks. “They want people to go, ‘Yeah, we're going to peacefully protest in Frisco, Texas,’ and then they're going to have their agitators there.”

Just because Donald Trump won the election does not mean the race war between black and white Americans is over.

“The war is not over by any stretch. They're doubling down, and they have Karmelo Anthony; he's the new O.J. Simpson; he's the new George Floyd, and we're falling for the trap; we're falling for all the triggers,” Jason warns.

“What is crystal clear to anybody with a brain is that Karmelo Anthony did something murderous, immoral, and stupid, and the people that want to promote a racial conflict have clearly reached out to the family and said, ‘We got 30 pieces of silver, and we'll help you out as long as you allow us to use you in the manner that we need you to be used to spark this racial conflict,”’ he explains.

He wants everyone to understand that Karmelo Anthony and his family are “pawns on a chessboard being moved around by the globalists and the people that want this country to devolve into racial conflict.”

Karmelo Anthony advocate blasts 'disrespectful' father of Austin Metcalf for showing up at Anthony family news conference



The president of the Next Generation Action Network — a group advocating for 17-year-old Karmelo Anthony, who's charged with murdering high school star athlete Austin Metcalf — called Metcalf's father "disrespectful" for showing up at a Thursday news conference for the Anthony family.

NGAN's Dominique Alexander added that Jeff Metcalf's presence at the event was "a disrespect to the dignity of his son," according to a WFAA-TV live video feed of the news conference.

Alexander told those gathered that Metcalf 'was not invited,' that 'he knows that it's inappropriate to be near [the Anthony] family,' and that his presence at the news conference 'shows you all' his 'character.'

Metcalf's 17-year-old son Austin was fatally stabbed at an April 2 track meet at Kuykendall Stadium. Police arrested Anthony and charged him with first-degree murder.

Jeff Metcalf said the suspect got angry after being told he was in the wrong place and being asked to move: "I'm not trying to judge, but what kind of parents did this child have? What was he taught? He brought a knife to a track meet, and he murdered my son by stabbing him in the heart. The guy was in the wrong place, and they asked him to move, and he bowed up. This is murder."

Anthony's father said his son "was not the aggressor," and Anthony walked free from from jail Monday after his $1 million bond was reduced to $250,000.

News conference delayed; Jeff Metcalf blamed

The start of Thursday's news conference was delayed after Jeff Metcalf — seen on the station's live feed holding a smartphone and wearing dark sunglasses — showed up and wouldn't leave when requested to do so, WFAA reported. NGAN said the news conference wouldn't happen with Metcalf in the room, the station added.

Dallas police were called, WFAA said, and there was speculation that Metcalf's presence at the news conference violated a court order stating that Karmelo Anthony isn't allowed to have contact with the Metcalf family. However, WFAA said Karmelo Anthony wasn't at the news conference.

After about an hour delay, the station said Metcalf had departed the building, and he was seen speaking outside to a group of at least five uniformed police officers and shaking the hands of some of them as he left.

Soon after the news conference began, Alexander told those gathered that Metcalf "was not invited," that "he knows that it's inappropriate to be near [the Anthony] family," and that his presence at the news conference "shows you all" his "character."

Frisco ISD accused of intention to expel Anthony

Alexander also ripped the Frisco Independent School District, claiming that district officials intend to expel Anthony — who's a senior at Centennial High School — prior to his graduation. Alexander added that "we will do direct action" outside the Frisco ISD offices in the coming days, and it "seems like they have made their mind up."

The Frisco ISD provided Blaze News with the following statement Thursday when asked to comment on Alexander's claim that the district intends to expel Anthony:

While Frisco ISD cannot comment on an individual student's disciplinary record due to student privacy law, we can provide general information about District protocol and relevant law.

If a student in Frisco ISD is charged with a serious crime, called a Title V felony, the District looks at the case and decides if the student should be disciplined. The student and their parents will get a letter explaining what the school recommends.

If the school recommends expulsion, which means the student is removed from school, the student is not allowed to go on any Frisco ISD property while the decision is being made. A meeting will be held where the student can share their side of the story and show any evidence. After the meeting, the District will decide whether to go through with the expulsion and will let the student and parents know.

If the student is expelled, they might still get schoolwork and education through a special program called JJAEP. If the student has already finished everything needed to graduate, the district may let them graduate early instead of going to JJAEP. Whether the student is expelled or chooses to graduate early, they still can't go on any Frisco ISD property.

Anthony's mother speaks out

Anthony's mother, Kala Hayes, was at times tearful and angry as she also spoke at the news conference.

Hayes said she's a "stay-at-home mom" and that her "two-parent" family puts "God first in everything that we do." She added that her family has been "under attack" and "threatened, harassed, and lied about" since the "tragic incident."

"My 13-year-old daughter is afraid to sleep in her own bedroom!" a tearful Hayes hollered, noting that her husband's "metal health" has "deteriorated day by day" in the face of having to take a leave of absence from work "because he's afraid of what might happen to our family." She also said claims about the family's financial situation are "completely false" and that they "haven't received a single dime" from the GiveSendGo fund for her son, which was nearing the $460,000 mark Thursday afternoon.

The Anthony family moved into a $900,000 home in a gated community in recent days, according to the Daily Mail, which added it its report that "the lavish lifestyle is in stark contract to the cash struggles Anthony's father, Andrew Anthony, claimed to have in court Monday, where the parent claimed he was the sole breadwinner."

At the news conference, Alexander also tore into "conservative operatives" who "have been posting nonstop about this case," noting "misinformation about the [GiveSendGo] fund" and saying that claims about the family's new house are false. Alexander also decried "bigotry" and "racism" against the Anthony family. On the other side of things, Karmelo Anthony's defenders have been going viral on social media, with one of them actually declaring that Metcalf "got exactly what he deserved — point blank, period."
