Yesterday, Karmelo Anthony, who ruthlessly murdered a White teenager by the name of Austin Metcalf in April of last year, was taken to the Collin County Courthouse in McKinney, Texas, where he was ultimately sentenced to 35 years in prison.
As you might imagine, social media apps such as X were immediately overrun by liberal influencers who claimed that an imaginary "all-White jury" (the jury, in reality, included several people of color) must have sentenced Anthony based solely on racism and not on anything of value, which was widely mocked. Rapper Cardi B left her own remark on X, claiming that the trial "was not justice."
Wow! Just freakin wow! DISGUSTING… This is not justice, this is trying to make an example!!!

As this online campaign was going on, black protesters supporting Karmelo Anthony, many of them members of the New Black Panther Party for Self-Defense, were also gathering outside of the Collin County Courthouse so that they could support him throughout the trial. Many of them spouted the same lies that influencers online were spreading, and claimed without evidence after Karmelo's sentencing that the trial was unfair because the jury didn't have blacks in it.
The pro-Karmelo protesters eventually grew more violent, especially as counterprotesters who were supporting Metcalf's family began to gather outside of the courthouse themselves. Protesters were even filmed threatening African men who were against Anthony avoiding jail time.

Karmelo Anthony's legal representative was also caught on camera claiming to other black protestors after his sentencing that "white people can come into our lives and do anything they want to us."
As all of this was going on, Elijah Schaffer and his producer George Mihopoulos, representing RIFTtv, arrived at the courthouse, hoping to both interview Karmelo's family and record the actions of the BLM protestors. After arriving at around 3:30 PM, Schaffer and Mihopoulos went over to the tent where Karmelo's family was to interview them. However, they were immediately driven away and attacked upon stating they were with the press.
After this, the two moved on to record what protesters were doing around the courthouse, capturing videos of protesters attacking other counterprotesters and sharing anti-White rhetoric. Eventually, Mihopoulos was confronted by a group of pro-Anthony protesters while defending another White man who was getting attacked, and was attacked and threatened by them himself. As they tried to steal his phone, they claimed that he "could not go outside" anymore, and implied that they would jump/murder him if he did so.
Thankfully, both Schaffer and Mihopoulos walked away from the situation unharmed. The crowd ultimately dispersed after Schaffer prepared his firearm to be used for self-defense if necessary. Schaffer later explained on X that other weapons had already been displayed by protesters and that there had been multiple threats to kill White people long before he had prepared to defend himself, though it fortunately didn't end up being necessary.
These attacks on White protestors, many of whom did not even have the chance to state what side they were on before they were attacked, did not occur out of nowhere. For the past year, the media has painted Karmelo Anthony as a saint who was simply acting in self-defense, and has allowed several psychopaths to express anti-White rhetoric on the air to help put that claim out there.
Even notable politicians have insulted the family of Austin Metcalf. Recently, Jasmine Crockett, a U.S Representative in Texas, claimed that black women have gone through pain and agony that the Metcalfs "have never felt," a shameless insult to throw out towards the family, especially as Hunter Metcalf, Austin's twin brother, witnessed the murder himself.
This disgusting rhetoric will not slow down in light of Karmelo Anthony being brought to justice. If anything, threats will unfortunately only continue at higher rates, and protesters will only be more compelled by anti-White rhetoric to attack innocents who have nothing to do with the incidents in Texas.
All we can do is avoid stooping to their level and continue to push back against the ridiculous "white supremacy" lie that is being spread simply because a violent murderer has been thrown away to rot in jail.
