By now you heard the verdict, “GUILTY OF FIRST DEGREE MURDER.” Black killed White by plunging a shiv into his back. But this cannot stand says the Black community – the jury of 12 was all white. Metcalf’s father, “This was never about race,” Metcalf said. “It is about right and wrong. The public’s response sickens me … The moral decay is frightening.”
The Killer:
“I respect everyone until they disrespect me,” Jeff Metcalf says in the video, which was circulating on social media. “I’ve been disrespected by so many people, so many times while I’ve had to sit here and take it.”
Jeff Metcalf went on to name multiple people, including Anthony’s father, saying he’s a coward who raised a coward. He also calls out Anthony’s mother, describing her as a “drunk b*tch” and asked her what she did to her son to “make him stab somebody.”
Below is the refrain from Dr. Stacey Patton of Howard University. According to him Black Boys are not to be reckoned with. Because they are from the hood, you never know when the Blade will cause a deadly incision in a White Boy. He forgets the fact that Anthony was told 15 times to vacate the tent.

MCKINNEY, Texas — High school track star Karmelo Anthony was asked 15 times to leave the tent for an opposing team but “refused” to — allegedly sparking the deadly stabbing of fellow teen Austin Metcalf last year, a witness testified Friday.
The witness, a 17-year-old Frisco Memorial High School student, explained that he and at least six others were under their school’s team tent when he saw Anthony in their area wearing the opposing Frisco Centennial High School gear.
Memorial students started telling Anthony, “You probably shouldn’t be here, you need to leave our tent,” recounted the witness — whose name was ordered to be withheld because of his age.

Leading up to the fatal moment, Anthony had his hand in his open backpack on his lap but the students all thought he was bluffing, the witness said.
Anthony ditched the knife and bolted down the stands and onto the track.
Metcalf fell on his back, stood back up and lifted his shirt as he leaned on the railing — with a scared look on his face as he saw his bleeding chest, the teen claimed.
“Touch me and find out,” Anthony responded at the Kuykendall Stadium.
During the roughly two-minute tiff, Metcalf, 17, gave Anthony a “minor pushing” and Antho
Dr. Stacey Patton, a professor at Howard University’s School of Communications, penned an opinion piece titled “Dear Jeff Metcalf: Your Son Is Dead Because You Failed to Teach Him That Black Boys Have Boundaries” to Substack on Wednesday on Substack, where she insinuated Anthony was acting out of self-defense.
“YOU failed to teach your boy that Black children have boundaries,” Patton wrote. “YOU failed teach humility, restraint, or the sacred fact that another person’s body is not your jurisdiction. YOU failed to teach him that another child’s space is not a challenge to be conquered. YOU failed to teach him that “community” does not mean white boys get to decide who belongs and who does not.”
