He has a clear case for defense, and it's clear that he was physically outmatched by his attacker.

The problem is that he might have used inappropriate force, even though he only stabbed once.

But it's definitely a much stronger case than Rittenhouse or Zimmerman had. Aside from race.

If he was white and his attacker was black, he wouldn't have to meet the legal standard for the use of such force under Texas' self defense law, because Texas doesn't follow the 14th amendment.

The legal system is racist.

The witnesses say that Metcalf grabbed Anthony, then Anthony stabbed him once and ran away.

Anthony's crime is defending himself while black.

Zimmerman stalked Trayvon Martin and initiated the conflict with him. Kyle Rittenhouse went across state lines to threaten protesters with a gun. They both went out of their way to initiate a conflict. Karmelo Anthony was minding his own business when Austin Metcalf initiated a conflict with him.

We can still teach our children that. It wasn't true back then, and it isn't true now. But that's not relevant to the government when they're trying to cultivate obedient patriotic citizens. It's important to recognize that we were lied to as children.
