Clocking Hypocrisy

WATCH: Karmelo Anthony supporter threatens my life at the trial. “We kill crackas!” “I like the smell of burning flesh!” “We’re gonna do some Nat Turner shit on you”

One of the most shocking things I witnessed today was this woman in pink screaming “you gon end up like Metcalf, you gone be pushing up daisies”. I caught the tail end of her saying this to Metcalf supporters in the clip below. I also witnessed several Karmelo supporters get extremely aggressive when ANY media tried speaking with them. One female reporter went up to the group to ask questions (linked below) and they immediately got angry saying “we told y’all to stop coming the f*ck over here” (this was her first attempt at speaking to them). At this point I started warning every reporter who was trying to speak with this group, as earlier, another local reporter had tapped on the shoulder of the man who leads their chants. This man immediately squared up and acted like the reporter had punched him. I’ve been covering protests for 7 years and this is some of the most violent and racially charged rhetoric I’ve ever encountered.

Henry Nowak's mother has said: "We are a family who have friends across faith and race, and so did Henry. We want his memory to help bring our society together." And there you have it.
