Teen Murder Suspect Karmelo Anthony Allowed to Graduate
I'm Tomi Lahren, more next.
Karmelo Anthony, the Frisco, Texas teen who allegedly though admittedly stabbed fellow teen Austin Metcalf to death at a track meet over a seating dispute, will be allowed to graduate.
Yes, even though he's been out of school the last month and a half and even though he is facing a murder charge, the activist group supporting him was able to work out a deal with the school district so Anthony will receive his diploma.
The Next Generation Action Network calls this perk a 'student focused resolution' and a 'moment of dignity for Karmelo' and a 'reminder of the power of advocacy done right.'
That's cute and all, but let's not forget why Karmelo is in this situation. He is accused- though he openly admitted to- stabbing another teen to death at a track meet.
Austin Metcalf will not graduate. Austin Metcalf is not entitled to a 'student-focued resolution' or a 'moment of dignity' because Austin Metcalf was stabbed to death.
The way Karmelo Anthony has been uplifted as a hero and a martyr is disgusting and despicable.
From the fundraisers to the press conferences to this diploma perk, it's all lopsided and wrong.

Paris Fashion Week Showcases Gang Bangers!
Paris Fashion week glorified violent convicts and gang members, so edgy! I'm Tomi Lahren, more next. I don't take Fashion Week too seriously. Most of the clothing displayed is overpriced weird stuff that no one remotely normal would wear in real life. But a Mexican-American designer I've never heard of, Willy Chavarria, took that concept and kicked it up a notch. His exhibition in collaboration with the ACLU showcased models seemingly dressed to resemble the gang members housed in El Salvador's notorious CECOT prison. This stunt wasn't done to showcase clothing, but to send a worthless virtue signal about the treatment of murderers, rapists, and violent gang bangers in custody at CECOT. This designer also made his fashion show invites to look an immigration summons in a presentation of 'humanity.' It caught the eye of El Salvador's president who issued a scathing retort on X and generously offered to send the violent inmates to Paris! It's en vogue now to glorify rapists and murderers and the most violent gang members on planet earth. It's SHAMEFUL!

TN Yanks Driving Privileges from Bullies
Teen bullying here in Tennessee now comes with a very inconvenient penalty. I'm Tomi Lahren, more next. In a noble effort to combat bullying and cyberbullying, a new law here in Tennessee states that any minor found guilty of bullying or cyberbullying in juvenile court will lose their driving privileges for one year. This was a bipartisan measure that lawmakers here in the volunteer state hope to see other states adopt. The law might seem a bit harsh but it does offer a second chance for first time offenders and has a carve out to allow teens to drive with restricted privileges to church, school and work. That does require sign off by a judge, however. It's a noble endeavor. Far too many young people suffer long term consequences from bullying and far too many even resort to taking their own life. I do think this law is going to be tough to enforce, though. One man's 'teasing' is another man's 'bullying' and the discretion here seems pretty broad. Even so, I hope parents will step up to the plate and fill the void. Manners, decency and godliness in the home would go a long way and probably be more effective than yanking driving privileges.

Court Announces Big Ruling On 17-Year-Old Karmelo Anthony
Court Announces Big Ruling On 17-Year-Old Karmelo Anthony originally appeared on The Spun. The court has made a big ruling in the case of 17-year-old high school student Karmelo Anthony. Anthony, a high school student in Frisco, Texas, is accused of stabbing and killing a fellow 17-year-old high schooler, Austin Metcalf, at a local track meet earlier this month. There was reportedly a confrontation between the two high schoolers that turned deadly. Anthony allegedly admitted to police that he stabbed Metcalf out of self defense. The grand jury has since made a big ruling in the case, choosing to indict Anthony on incredibly serious charges. The decision officially came in this week. Anthony was officially indicted on first-degree murder charges, though he won't be facing the death penalty. From the report: A grand jury has since indicted Anthony for first-degree murder, Collin County District Attorney Greg Willis announced Tuesday. Willis said his team had presented evidence for several weeks before the Collin County grand jury returned the indictment. A trial schedule is yet to be set. "We know this case has struck a deep nerve -- here in Collin County and beyond," Willis said in a statement. "That's understandable. When something like this happens at a school event, it shakes people to the core. But the justice system works best when it moves with steadiness and with principle. That's what we're committed to. And that's exactly what this case deserves." If convicted, Anthony is facing a long time in prison. Anthony is facing up to 99 years or life in prison, if convicted. At 17, he's considered an adult in Texas' legal system. His attorney, Mike Howard, called the indictment an expected step in the process. "It's only in a trial that a jury would hear the full story, one that includes critical facts and context that the grand jury simply didn't get to hear," Howard said. "We expect that when the full story is heard, the prosecution will not be able to rule out the reasonable doubt that Karmleo Anthony may have acted in self-defense." An official trial date has yet to be set. Court Announces Big Ruling On 17-Year-Old Karmelo Anthony first appeared on The Spun on Jun 29, 2025 This story was originally reported by The Spun on Jun 29, 2025, where it first appeared.
