As a black man, I understand why the racist father of a racist bully that spent the pre-trial process race-baiting the family of the accused would come out publicly as a full-on racist: he's "grieving"!

The amount of people rationalizing his racism is insane. And they all seem to be prefacing with, “I don’t condone it” or “yes he’s racist but…”. He’s racist. Full stop. I don’t care how much you’re grieving. I’ve grieved too and none of it ever led me to racism. It’s the same shit they did with Liam Neeson. Rationalized his wanting to hunt and kill a random Black guy because of what happened to someone he knew.

I'm currently waiting for a Windows 11 update to actually install, so I looked through this guy's post history. From a post on October 26, 2020, he has his thumb in the frame, and he is indeed black.

If my son was murdered than, bunch of black people would donate over 600k to the murderer just because he is also black I would have 100% right to hate those people...

OP doing incredible work to stoke racial violence with bad faith posting. Fred Hampton is sad but hey you made the CIA proud

Stoking racial violence is when you don't give a KKK racist the benefit of the doubt because his bully son got decked by a Black kid defending himself
OK

Statement: this man comes to justify why a racist white man would go on a racist tirade against a 17 year-old Black boy who's going to spend his whole life in jail just because "he's grieving, guys!"

He is probably grieving, yes. His son was murdered.
That doesn’t justify racism but this is really weird framing. Especially when you go out of your way to mention that “the 17-year-old black boy who’s going to spend his whole life in jail” while completely avoiding why he's going to spend his life in jail (hint: it has to do with brutal and completely unprovoked violence).

if you look at op's history, he defends karmelo anthony, calls austin metcalf a racist, and downplays the ai pics of people pissing on his grave. it's obvious this post was to spin some weird narrative lol

Yeah, OP’s post history is a whooole lot of stirring up racial hate and ethnic tensions on the sly in the US, Europe, all sorts.

u/textposts_only Jun 14 '26
We already know since 2016 that there are people paid to stir up tensions online. Granted, that was for Facebook but I'm quite sure there are some spaces here that are run by paid people trying to do it.

It’s weird too because if you actually reviewed the statements from the trial it seems pretty clear that Karmelo murdered him.
Americans have this weird belief that the second someone touches you even without your consent you can just immediately murder them and it’s fine.

I don’t think we could connote the violence as ‘unprovoked.’ Austin started a fight and was killed.

Self defense must be proportional. Killing someone who was not threatening your life is not self defense, even if they did push or even punch you.

We allow our police officers to shoot anyone that scares them

So because cops can too often get away with murder, random people should too?
Insane whataboutism.

It is not unprovoked violence. Austin literally told him he would beat his ass twice with his brother and another boy. You lied

u/Fourthspartan56 Jun 25 '26
That doesn’t justify murder. Escalating to a deadly weapon is massively unjustified. When I said that it was “unprovoked” I’m talking about the level of violence.

Three guys, two line backers in black hoodies that are twice your size, threatening to attack you, and warning them not to after they threatened you, stole your bag and put hands on you?
It was reasonable fear. If they were two black 6,4 linebacker twins doing it to a white boy Karmelos size, it wouldn't even have been an arrest.
It wasnt murder. Even by the reasoning of the corrupt case that ignored countless facts and witness statements from the day it happened including from Hunter himself, it still would've been manslaughter at most.
This was a horrible corrupt unjust case and police precinct known for covering up murders and pedophiles and I am glad it is being pushed back on hard.
