The Texas teen accused of fatally stabbing another high schooler at a track meet was released from jail Monday after posting a reduced $250,000 bond and will remain on house arrest until his trial.
A judge in Collin County slashed the 17-year-old Karmelo Anthony’s initial $1 million bond and said he may await trial at home with an ankle monitor and 24-hour supervision from his parents or an “adult designee.”
Anthony has been locked in Collin County Jail for allegedly stabbing Austin Metcalf, also 17, in the heart during a fight over a seat at a track meet on April 2. He is charged with first-degree murder.

I can’t help wondering what the odds are of this guy either totally getting away with everything, or paying a ridiculously and insultingly low price for killing the white christian young man.

If the 'ethnicities' were reversed, he would be UNDER the Jail, and the Lamestreams would be beating the 'White Supremacist Terrorist' drum EVERY DAY!

Justice isn't just blind anymore, Justice is also deaf and dumb and totally onesided, there is no true justice anymore.

It'll be a slap on the wrist if that.

Noticed the alleged murderer wore a new suit for his release. One thing for sure, crime pays when you have additional melanin in your skin. The travesty is that he will probably get a slap on the wrist for stabbing a fine young white man in the heart. This sickens me. When large swathes of the country have zero impulse control this will encourage others to act in a similar manner. If Austen were my son, this act would turn me into a rabid activist and I would make it my goal in life to demand justice on his behalf. Texas, the eyes of the world are on you. Will we see justice done or a politically correct verdict handed down to appease the ever aggrieved and self-proclaimed victim class?

He will probably re-offend and go back to jail before his trial

His momma said he's always been a good boy and this was just a little nothing and not his fault. It was only a white boy he murdered in cold blood. It's ok.

The crime took place in McKinney, TX. Not Austin or Dallas or Houston. This young man will get an honest jury of his peers. Not a raced based jury. Yes his lawyers will eliminate whites as much as possible. But it will not be a black dominated jury pool. And this is Texas, not some deep blue Woke state.

An angry 17 yo with $400,000 that he probably think is his to spend locked up in a house? Good luck mom and dad. We’re about to find out how good of a kid he really is.

This is the case the left is using to prove or reaffirm how racist America (white conservatives) is. This is what Eric Holder meant by keep fighting. Make sure you don't go rioting and burning stuff up. Oh wait. . ., that's what they do.

Let's assume the $250,000 dollar bail cost someone $25,000 dollars.
Where did that money come from?
Probably from people who donated to the cause of another feral black killer.
I will be surprised if he doesn't get a suspended sentence of 5 years.

Treyvon Martin, OJ Simpson, Jussie Smollett, Michael Brown aka "the gentle giant," and of course the saintly George Floyd. We have seen this script before. This model child shaved off the ghetto worms he had growing out of his head and bought a new suit and tie in preparation for the coming circus which the whole country will be watching. We had two hot headed teenagers, athletic rivals, possibly with a history, but only one brought a knife to a track meet, planning to cause trouble.

His mother said she is going to use the money to buy a new house and hire security. She claims she is getting racist death threats.

Sadly, this is no different than reading about the person who killed the United Healthcare CEO. There seems to be an embracing of the death culture especially when restraint is ignored. We have a lot of influencers but they seem to be coming from the death culture crowd. . .

$400K raised for this person? Mom is already spending it? Maybe she should wait until after the two lawyers get paid for defending this person. I'd like to call him something besides person, but it wouldn't be kind.
