1/ Let me be clear about what's happening in the Karmelo Anthony case RIGHT NOW. Because the footage release may have traveled. The context didn't. 2/ FACT #1: Cameras were banned from the courtroom the entire two-week trial. Friday was the FIRST time the public saw any of this evidence. 3/ FACT #2: The surveillance tape the jury watched is so grainy. The footage was shot from across the field. It was so grainy prosecutors didn't even trust it. They used eyewitnesses to tell the jury what the tape couldn't show. Eyewitness friends and teammates of Austin Metcalf. 4/ FACT #3: On the bodycam, a 17-year-old can be heard telling officers: "He put his hands on me. I told him not to." 5/ FACT #4: Yes and Karmelo also said "I did it." But in the same breath: "I was protecting myself." Nobody EVER disputed that he stabbed Austin. The whole trial was about one word: WHY. That's what self-defense IS. 6/ FACT #5: Per the officers' OWN police reports, handcuffed in the back of the squad car, Karmelo asked them one thing: "Is he going to be okay?" He didn't ask for his lawyer. 7/ FACT #6: A legal analyst on NewsNation said the footage humanized Karmelo. A former prosecutor said this case should've never gone to trial. 8/ FACT #7: The jury saw all of it. Heard all of it. Rejected self-defense in about three hours. Karmelo's serving 35 years. 9/ FACT #8: The judge released this footage to the public on Friday, June 19th. Juneteenth. 10/ Of 365 days, they picked the one day set aside for Black freedom to hand a Black teenager's worst moment to the world. Maybe coincidence. A lot of Black America stopped believing in those a long time ago. I'm one of them. 11/ Full breakdown of what the jury saw, and what they refused to hear on my main channel.
@realAFLF How are you going to rationalize Karmelo brandishing an illegal weapon on school grounds at other students before he was supposedly attacked? Do you think I can brandish a knife in a court room first and then get off for self defense?
NEW: Austin Metcalf's father says Karmelo Anthony's family has shown zero remorse after his son was murdered, says they decided to play the race card instead. Will Cain: "Have you ever spoken to the Anthonys?" Jeff Metcalf: "No." Cain: "No apology, no remorse?" Metcalf: "Nothing... They weren't there for the sentencing, and they were not there for victim impact statements. They left that poor child up there by himself. As soon as the verdict was read... his family and some other advocates left the courtroom and turned in their badges."
SpaceX stock is up $100 billion today In one day. And you're telling me Elon Musk can't pay a $100 billion annual wealth tax to the European Union? It's literally just one day of wages for him. Tax Elon Musk NOW.

Josh Hokit: MICHELLE OBAMA IS A MAN #UFCWhiteHouse
lol. Senator from Massachusetts who created a self inflicted housing shortage wants to tax the people of Texas, who build electric cars and rockets, to subsidize the self inflicted housing shortage
Elon Musk is officially the first trillionaire in human history.
