Karmelo Anthony reportedly files court paperwork for a public defender
2025-06-28
[American Thinker] The thing about stereotypes is that people who know nothing about you—in fact know quite a bit about you.

It’s why I drive by a derelict trailer park where Cadillacs with fancy rims sit parked in the grass and I know exactly who lives there; it’s why when I read about a 13-month-old baby who was in the process of being adopted by a “couple” and who was raped to death within three months of him being placed in their care I already know it’s not a heterosexual couple we’re talking about; and it’s why I knew that the money that Karmelo Anthony’s
…he’s the Black high school boy who murdered a white high school boy at a track meet in Frisco, Texas back in April…
family was raising for his legal defense wasn’t actually going to be used just for his legal defense, but instead be blown on luxuries. There’s a term to explain what kind of “rich” this sort of behavior is….

No sooner than I reported on the family upgrading to a McMansion rental in a neighborhood they could never otherwise afford, jokingly predicting that we can expect new cars and designer duds next…luxury vehicles show up in the driveway, an “endless stream” of Amazon trucks makes drop-offs to the residence, and Karmelo gets some new brand-name sneakers.

Am I a seer? No, I just know that human behavior in certain communities is predictable.
Now, as Anthony is now officially facing a murder charge after being indicted by a grand jury earlier this week, he’s reportedly filed “indigent” paperwork to obtain a public defender, a formal plea for financial assistance that claims poverty and financial destitution, after raising more than half a million dollars less than two months ago:

Living off of other people’s money is all these people know how to do.

Anyway, despite having filed this paperwork, the family is continuing with their fundraiser, which is still active, and just recently increased the amount they want, bumping the total requested funds to right around $1.4 million. The updated blurb regarding the crowdfunding campaign at least admits that while legal defense is “part” of why they need money, they’re also using it as “comprehensive assistance” to “navigate the many challenges” of their son’s thuggish and horrendous choices—like rental homes they can’t afford, high-end vehicles (because who wants to drive to and from court in a base-model economy car), and fancy clothes.

#9  ^"Shame" my tuches. When you deal with savages, you have to instill fear.

#8  The "dis-respect" response behavior that blossoms out of being marinated in modern black sub-culture and music made this kid murder needlessly for a perceived "insult". Now his family and hangers-on have been working the race game to get crowd-funding money from clueless white liberals. It worked beyond all expectations and like the BLM leaders before them, it was too much a temptation to ignore. Sad commentary on the demise of shame as a legitimate cultural necessity of genuine civilization!

#7  No. Not at all. Probably what he was taught to do. I would fine it disappointing that after all the money and accolades thrown at him, no good advice was given.

Like, put the money in shells, make a property purchase and show a loss of income, file for a public defender showing a negative income, make the case of being a poor black male who was picked on by a property stealing white man, and hope for a good fixed DA ally, two years probation.

But no, probably a rote 'thats just what we do' thing.

#4  Number two might easily be labeled racist but entirely accurate.

#3  Or there is gaming in the system.

I mean, why spend your own money for what will be a plea attempt. There is no Chewbacca defense here, he straight up murdered that young man in front of everyone.

#2  You were right the second time. It's almost like the lack of self-control is genetic.

#1  ...Leading one to consider that the Anthony family isn't giving up - or has already blown through - all that sweet, sweet crowdfunding cash they raised.

Is it bad of me to want the Judge to ask?
