In Texas, no question. If the roles had been reversed, and Karmelo had been the stabbing victim, the stabber would get a slap on the wrist.

That being said, he definitely ought to be in prison.

Resetera: Karmelo Anthony case

Kinda surprised there isn't already a thread on this. Tensions are rising as Karmelo Anthony has been sentenced to 35 years in prison, with the possibility of parole in 17 years. What are you guys thoughts? Was this sentence justified in your opinion, or do you feel it was too harsh/not harsh enough?

Let's see how long this will last.

We just need "Hookup Knife" Nepenthe to chime in.

Yeah I read about this and from how it played out, I can't side with Anthony as it's plain murder while he having multiple chances to leave.

May what point was it ok for Anthony to have hands put on him?

When he wouldn't fucking leave a place he's not supposed to be?

Friend of the Bore:

This is clear cut murder so I'm not losing any sleep.

[Boredfrom]

I think the annoying thing about this is that MAGAs are acting like they won a race war because in their opinion, "black people get away with everything." You have white nationalists saying that, "black people are murdering our kids".

Royalan wants to turn that thread into a ban graveyard so bad, maybe he's waiting for Nep to give the greenlight

Wow..... as godawful as The Boys season 4 and 5 were, there was actually a fantastic message that's very relevant here!

Just how increasingly insane Vought becomes under Homelander's leadership and the quest to appease his appointed godhood.

Create a bunch of meaningless situation/dilemmas which act as purity tests and traps. Snitch. Rat. Yell accusations you know aren't true. Bomb your own quarters just smoke out any dissidents. Drag loyal supporters out in the den and beat them to death with baseball bats. Destroy your whole security team just because they made you look stupid. Eliminate your own ranks just to push a newer, dumber agenda.

And then in the end, Homelander is still a delusional, narcissistic, psychotic, mentally ill pissbaby who will never truly find happiness or satisfaction. The servants who sold their souls and wasted their careers sabotaging everyone around them, are still one small mistep away from getting boiled alive by a laser beam. (in this case, getting banned from the loser forum and then crawling back to bluesky or something ).

[Alpacx]

I just want to be clear about what I'm arguing here: very few voices I follow and trust, many experts in this field, are arguing that Anthony didn't do anything wrong and should get of scott free, and so I'm not arguing that either.

The contention is between a murder and a manslaughter charge.

And no, Anthony escaping the rain and going into a rival team's tent is not permission for a member of that team to assault him.

I didn't follow the murder and trial closely, but was Anthony even competing at the meet? Was it even raining? (Edit: it was raining off and on that day)

[Boredfrom]

You could argue that 38 years is a crazy lot of years for a minor… but why make it a racial thing? Feels like a desperate gambit.

[Alpacx]

Keep a watch out for a WannabeSage ban for replying to Royalan:

How cooked do you have to be to think stabbing someone in the chest after being shoved is justified defense? He was just looking for an excuse, saying "touch me and see what happens."

I hadn't read deeply into this story before this thread, but I always assumed they had some history. Apparently not! Some guy comes into your private space, doesn't leave after being asked to and then ends a life after being shoved. That boy wasn't alright, and now he'll have to go to prison for minimum 17 years.

[Boredfrom]

Reading the Wikipedia article, it sounds more like social media in general being awful in this case.

[DavidCroquet]

Roy is calling the shove “assault” now.

You wet me with a squirtgun, and yes, I magdumped an AK47 into you in response.

Does that mean it’s just ok to lightly moisten people free of consequence now? Hm?!

[Boredfrom]

He was charged as an adult, since, under the Texas criminal justice system, defendants age 17 and older are prosecuted as adults

Oh, Texas.

[simiansmarts]

Reading the Wikipedia article, it sounds more like social media in general being awful in this case.

Pretty much. The father of the victim said race was not a factor and pushed back against those trying to stoke racial tensions with this case but social media is a hellscape of psychos and bad actors trying to sow as much discord as possible to line their pockets so what're you gonna do. 
 

[HaughtyFrank]

The thing that confuses me is, why this case? Surely there's a million better cases of someone Black getting railroaded by the justice system. He killed someone because of a dumb argument over leaving a tent. That's not even contested by anyone.

[Besticus Maximus]

Royalan going with the bold 'some races should be able to kill who they want with no repercussions' argument

[Polident]

This duplicitous fatso weighs himself in kilos only to tape over the unit with lb.

[Alpacx]

A Klan jury. A Klan judge. A Klan DA.

So much conflict of interest. Almost an immediate conviction by an all-white jury. Sentenced on the same day for a trumped up murder charge that is absolutely ridiculous. How this was charged as anything other than manslaughter... well we know why.

Black people aren't allowed to stand their ground against aggressors. Especially if they're white. Meanwhile Cyrus gets hunted down and lynched by a convenience store owner in SC who has repeatedly shot at Black people is allowed to claim self defense even though the child was fleeing from him.

I was going to make a thread on a whole bunch of shit but being Black is incredibly exhausting right now. We're living in Jim Crow 2.0 and every day I'm hearing about Black people hanging from trees (covered up as suicide), Black children going missing and Black children being abused by colonizers in our homeland.

It wasn't an all white jury.

Another one to watch for a stealth ban in a few days 

Should he be in prison? Yes.
On a murder charge and for the rest of his life? No.

Well, he took another person's life pretty much forever....

Dismissing concerns about a racist justice system?

[DavidCroquet]

colonizers in our homeland…?

[Disco55]

Does the moron actually think being shoved is a good excuse for someone to stab someone?

I get that there is an institutional racism surrounding the justice system, but This is not it.

[Averon]

Dumbass Royalan really arguing that a shove warrants a stab in the heart...and that is not to be considered murder despite...

...the assailant being told over a dozen times to leave and was free to leave at any time
...the assailant wasn't suppose to be there in the first place
...the assailant threatened escalation immediately before the stabbing
...the assailant brought a knife to a school event?

But somehow Royalan and Soliloquy of a Dogge think this murder conviction was some injustice and further proof of white supremacy. There are some causes that is not worth your time and in fact damage your stance by taking it up. This is one of them.

So is Kyuuji gonna get a ban too?  He has the same energy as Brix did.

Wasn't Royalan the one defending underage sex because gay culture is different to straight culture?

This has to be a joke right?

[Boredfrom]

The lack of diversity in the jury and the Texas legal system writ large were definitely oriented to make an example out of a young black man convicted of a crime, that's a tale as old as time.

His punishment here is deliberately harsh, and the "controversy" around it is also a classic hit from the American legal system files — people of color are rightfully viewing this is as a case of inflated charges by a prosecution out for blood and racial unrest, which it is, and white republicans have latched onto that response to frame it as evidence that people of color are violent criminals who endorse violence against white people.

It's a mess we've seen hundreds of times, but the only bare and basic truth we can get to is that this was a senseless, horrific tragedy, a young man is dead, and another young man is as good as dead because the justice system is going to toss him in a cell and throw away the key. There's no peace for anyone, no real lessons learned, no opportunities for growth for anyone, it's just blood for blood wearing the mask of justice because he gets to technically live in a prison cell instead of being put down by the state.

The only lessons here for the rest of us are the same lessons we've learned dozens of times already. Don't let anger win and get you caught up in a bad situation, don't throw hands or steel when words or escaping the situation could do, and don't ever expect the American justice system to treat a black man like they would a white man in the same situation, because they will be sure to make you regret it and try to make an example out of you.

This is the shit that kills your argument. The system is biased against people of color? Sure, I believe that. He may got a harsher punishment than deserved? May as well, but he did kill someone for petty reasons. If he was white he would get away with it?  What are you arguing my dude?

Well... since you are not allowed to even post about looking forward to SB2, the trans brigade succeeded in banning the game from Era in practice.

As usual, B-Dubbers caving to the slightest pressure and thus becoming an easy patsy is very predictable.

It sounds like is a rallying cry for racists at social media, and wokies decided to counter it by “if he was white he would get away with it.”  

Assholes vs assholes.
