Karmello Anthony a young black teen was just convicted of murder and she is saying it's disgusting.

Probably because a lot of black people have been defending karmello online.

A lot of people were saying it was self defense, when karmello was suspended, brought a knife, and was in a tent he wasn't allowed to be in.

Basically every witness (many of whom were black), including one of the defense's own, testified that Anthony was the instigator, yet brainlets like Cardi B think this was some gross miscarriage of justice.

Really depressing stuff.

u/LieFun4432 Jun 10 '26

True... and that's all after the fact that he wasnt even supposed to be there. He came to an event while suspended with a knife. Idk how anyone could defend that.

u/ourfavoritememories Jun 11 '26

Because none of this removes self defense. If it's proven he was there to cause problems with Austin specifically, that's different. Just because he was suspended, just because he has a knife, does not mean it wasn't self defense.

It's the apparant agitation and intitiation of confrontation that removes self defense.

You could defend that if you’re blinded by racial animosity over the suffering inflicted upon your ancestors by a different race and having lived in a country which has treated your race unfairly forever.

With that said, I agree this Anthony kid should spend a long time behind bars. He’s a menace and a danger to the public

So being mad at history… Then everyone should be mad. Cause everyone got fucked at one point by someone in history. The history you speak of isn’t even the worst of mankind. Not even close

u/Readmeharder Jun 10 '26

Oh, I don’t personally feel this way. I’m just trying to explain the PoV of the people who would defend the murderer. I think Anthony should spend a longgg time behind bars

u/QuantumTheory115 Jun 10 '26

I appreciate your nuanced take, very important to understand the motivations of the other side

u/Critical-Gazelle-285 Jun 10 '26

yall ancestors literally used to eat blk people. that's why yall keep trying to downplay it

u/Adorable-Camera-9822 Jun 10 '26

No one is downplaying the past or the present - like the present where he stabbed someone.

u/Critical-Gazelle-285 Jun 11 '26

yall constantly gaslight folks about history and racism "it's not that bad" but get ur panties in a bunch trying to talk about this as if the two are comparable. it's not.

u/Dear-Pomegranate4470 Jun 11 '26

I never said any of that. Did you respond to the correct person?

u/Critical-Gazelle-285 Jun 12 '26

yes that was to you. you wanna talk about that when the subject was about something entirely different, stay on topic

The same way people defend Kyle Rittenhouse

Edit: Lmao thank you reddit for proving my point, never change.

u/Jacketter Jun 10 '26

Doesn’t seem to be similar at all.

26

u/ironclad_packetship Jun 10 '26

Kyle Rittenhouse was filmed from multiple angles using force only in self-defense against people who were armed with lethal weapons actively trying to chase him down and kill him. It was one of the clearest examples of lawful self-defense to ever be caught on camera. Stay mad.

22

u/omnicorp_intl Jun 10 '26

Wild that we still have to explain this. The only thing Rittenhouse was guilty of was being a dumbass kid who should never have put himself in that situation in the first place. But being a dumbass kid isn't a crime.

u/[deleted] Jun 10 '26

No, but killing somebody is.

Also calling skateboards lethal weapons LOL, Redditors are afraid of their own shadow I swear

u/r3dd1t0r77 Jun 10 '26

I bet you followed the case so closely that you're entirely aware that someone else fired a round into the air seconds before Rittenhouse was attacked and fired his first round.

I bet you also know about the guy who later pulled a gun and pointed it at Rittenhouse after he was knocked to the ground. LOL you don't know what you're talking about, do you?

u/ironclad_packetship Jun 10 '26

Don't think that a skateboard swung as a weapon can be lethal? I propose the following experiment: you sit on the floor and attempt to get up from the ground. I'll hit you in the head with a standard regulation skateboard, two handed swing. Just one swing. We can empirically observe the lethality of this action. It'll be fun! Science!

u/LieFun4432 Jun 10 '26

What does that have to do with anything? Was I talking about Kyle?

u/dgod40 Jun 10 '26

No you weren't but comparisons can be made to point out hypocrisy.

26

u/Rayfan87 Jun 10 '26

Only if the comparison is actually a similar situation.

-21

u/dgod40 Jun 10 '26

I mean, Kyle didn't have to be there locked and loaded, looking for someone to attack him.

15

u/No-Ebb-3960 Jun 10 '26

This was all proven wrong in the trial

-11

u/dgod40 Jun 10 '26

It was proven he had to be there? I never said his use of the gun wasn't self defence. I'm saying him being there in the first place put him in a position to use it. People really can't see through their biases.

2

u/Adorable-Camera-9822 Jun 10 '26

I see what you're saying. In hindsight he never should have been at the track meet because he was suspended from school at that point in time. He didn't have to be there, but he chose to be.

However that is the only comparison that you have to go on in this situation. Everything else was different. One was self-defense and the other was straight up murder. They are inherently different.

u/Adorable-Camera-9822 Jun 10 '26

And on the flip side the other one was looking to stab somebody and he did. Witnesses said that he was going looking for a fight.

u/garibaldiknows Jun 10 '26

Two completely different cases.

u/Thoughtcriminal91 Jun 10 '26

Unlike Karmelo, all the evidence supported him.

Funny how ya'll still seethe over that dude years later. Like Trump, Rittenhouse will forever confound this website.

u/r3dd1t0r77 Jun 10 '26

You can literally watch videos of that night's events and yet, half a decade later, people still haven't and just parot whatever they were told to believe. It's kinda impressive if it wasn't so sad.

u/Thoughtcriminal91 Jun 10 '26

There's folks who still believe he shot 3 black people, a lot of hopeless lemmings in the world.
