Fundraiser set up for Austin Metcalf's alleged killer shows how inhumane society has become

Karmelo Anthony, a 17-year-old, has been released on a $250,000 bond following allegations that he fatally stabbed Austin Metcalf during a confrontation at a track meet. The situation has become more contentious due to a GiveSendGo fundraiser initiated by Anthony's family, which has garnered over $455,000 in donations, many accompanied by racially charged comments. This incident highlights a broader societal issue regarding public perception of violence, race, and justice within the current landscape of social media support.

"The outpouring of support and valorization for Anthony, despite the violent act, raises unsettling questions about societal values and perceptions of justice in racially charged contexts."

"Witnesses reported that Metcalf was stabbed in the heart during a confrontation at a track meet, leading to widespread shock and outrage in the community."
