    A disastrous day for Karmelo Anthony’s defense… his own witnesses said he instigated the situation. Wow

    There are currently a couple of race wars brewing online. Blacks v whites and blacks v Asians. It involves this case and the Chow case.

    The damn fatigue is real.

    Melo will find true love in prison. I’m super happy for him.

    Because they shot their victims? Joe Horn was cold blooded murder. Zimmerman elected to chase down somebody walking home.

    Karmelo does deserve to go to jail, but so did those other people.

    Imagine being this triggered and race obsessed.

    Stay in school, kids.

    This is my point.

    Zimmerman, Horn, and Rittenhouse all used deadly force against unarmed persons after being assaulted or trespassed against.

    Their situations are quite similar to Anthony's in terms of a self-defense statute.

    If your argument is bringing a knife somewhere constitutes premeditated murder, then you have to hold Zimmerman and Rittenhouse to the same standard.

    I have differing opinions about all four cases, but whatever standard I hold one of them accountable to I apply to them all.

    Rittenhouse had good reason to fear for his life, and I believe had a legal right to carry. I was fairly convinced during his trial that his actions were squarely self-defense, even if one might take issue with his decision to insert himself into those protests with a firearm.

    This case seems quite different to me. Being shoved at a HS event is not sufficient reason to retaliate with deadly force.

    yeah, those cases and the Karmelo case are all the same lol. No difference.

    Go back to school, racist.

    I think it’s great that Joe Horn killed those thieves. The law came through big on that one. **** thieves. They should be shot. Don’t commit burglary or armed robbery and if you do, don’t rely on false claims of racism to bail your ass out. I would shoot the mfer breaking into my neighbors house.

    Rittenhouse shot someone who made verbal threats and chased him. No actual physical contact. He then shot someone who hit him with a skateboard.

    Once somebody puts their hands on you, either you're allowed to defend yourself or you're not. According to the standard set in most red states, you can.

    I would never go so far as to say Rittenhouse or Zimmerman premeditated their actions simply for carrying a weapon.

    With Zimmerman we don't know who hit first. We know he approached Martin first though.

    With Horn the perps entered his property.

    With Rittenhouse he did not initiate.

    No witness has claimed Anthony spoke to Metcalf first. It was Metcalf who initiated contact and Metcalf who assaulted Anthony. There is no debate about that.

    I doubt there is a "tent sovereignty" doctrine to pin a trespassing offense on Anthony.

    I can imagine a scenario where pulling a knife was reasonable, I can also imagine a scenario where pulling a knife was not. I don't know which scenario is true because I wasn't there.

    The important thing is giving Anthony the same right to self defense as any other person in Texas who has had someone else put their hands on them without consent.

    This is complete racist trash

    Anthony had his day in court

    it wasn’t self defense because stabbing wasn’t an equal use of force in that situation. He was lightly pushed and the push didn’t even move him. The person sitting next to Karmelo didn’t even know that he was pushed.

    He’s a cold blooded killer. It was premeditated

    @DonnyMost posts are not about race, unlike yours. He sticks to the facts of the case and offers his opinion on it, while you consistently shift the focus to race instead of engaging with the facts of the case.

    I think you’re minimizing the threat Rittenhouse would have reasonably perceived. He was being chased by multiple people, and as I recall there were also gunshots going off in the background. Being attacked with a skateboard while on the ground is risking fatal injury.

    Shoving at a HS event is comparatively commonplace. That doesn’t rise to the same risk level, IMO.

    Because Donny only cares about race. Like you, that’s the only reason he cares about the zimmerman, Horn, Rittenhouse cases. Like you, Donny has different standards for different skin colors. The left is anti-white and you guys are too.

    A hate crime is when the defendant intentionally selects the victim because of bias against a group (race, religion, etc.). The prosecutor said the case does not concern race (and obviously not religion). Therefore, there is no hate crime in this case.
