There’s a popular saying: There are two Americas. This phrase was vindicated on Tuesday after Karmelo Anthony was convicted of murdering Austin Metcalf. For one America, the sane America, this was the obvious verdict. For the other America, the racist America, Anthony should have been acquitted and seen as the victim because he’s black.The Anthony case is very simple: At a track meet, the young man entered the opposing team’s tent while armed with a knife. When asked to move, he refused and made threats. When the hostile Anthony was physically confronted about being where he did not belong, he stabbed an innocent kid in the heart with a knife, leaving Metcalf to bleed to death in his twin brother Hunter’s arms. Anthony admitted to this after the stabbing.Open and shut case, right? Not according to the other America. Anthony, who should have received a life sentence if not the death penalty, received a lighter sentence compared to the 99-year sentence he faced at trial. He only received a 35-year sentence with parole eligibility halfway through. At the earliest, he’ll be in his mid-thirties when he gets out — at the latest, his early fifties. Yet, a representative for the convicted murderer, Thelma Anderson, called the verdict a “legal lynching.” Some in the media even lied about the jury to paint that false picture, claiming it was all white, when five of the 12 jurors were non-white, and at least four witnesses who testified in the case were black.
