absolute complete tragedies. And let's talk about a number, a real number where the kid's going to spend a lot of time in jail, but not the rest of his life in jail, which would probably be the case if he goes to trial and loses and you sit down and two qualified lawyers, very experienced lawyers with the approval of the judge, work out some sort of plea bargain. This is not from what we know.
That makes perfect sense.
Not a trial.
But there's a lot there's a lot behind these two sides right now. They've people are lining up on, on both sides of this case. The go fund me's for each guy are almost exactly the same amount.
Let's call it 325,000 that people have donated to both because people defending Carmelo Anthony think that this was self-defense and he's getting railroaded potentially because he's black and people on the Metcalf family side say, this is outrageous at worst. If you take all the allegations about Austin Metcalf, as true.
At worst, what he did was put his hands on a guy who refused to leave a section that he wasn't seated in and put his hands on him at the guy's invitation to say, try to make me. And you don't get a knife in the heart for that. I'll read you the law. on self-defense in Texas.
A person is justified in using deadly force against another when and to the degree the actor reasonably believes the deadly force is immediately necessary, A, to protect the actor against the other's use or attempted use of... unlawful, deadly force. So it's not any kind of force or bodily harm.
It's you have to reasonably think that you need to immediately use deadly force to prevent unlawful, deadly force against you or, and here, okay, let's see, maybe Carmelo Anthony has something under the orb clause. to prevent the others, imminent commission of aggravated kidnapping, murder, sexual assault, aggravated sexual assault, robbery, or aggravated robbery.
Not even aggravated assault is listed there.
And Megan, in terms of the GoFundMe stuff, the biggest joke about the GoFundMe stuff has got to do with that kid, Luigi Mangione, who executed the executive. And the women are sending him letters. People are saying, oh, he's got a chance at trial. People are into him. Yeah.
Wait until those 12 jurors see the deceased wife on the witness stand who has to identify the body and talk about how her kids missed their father. And they watch that video of him executing him, the shooting over and over and over again. Stop it. It's not going to happen.
Yeah, we're just not going to get to that. And I just said we're not going to get to the point in this country where what's foreseeable is a knife to the heart amongst 17-year-old boys who are scuffling, even arguing impolitely. I don't know exactly what happened. We'll find out over a seat at a track meet. Like, that's just...
No one is going to interpret the law to say it was it was a reasonable response because that's what self-defense is trying to factor in. Was your response reasonable under the circumstances? You know, Texas has got the castle doctrine where you don't you don't have to retreat. Somebody comes into your home, you got your gun, you can shoot him.
So this isn't that this is not that this kid got asked a question, you know, please leave or told to leave. And he started to threaten, make me. And Austin allegedly put hands on him and he stabbed him through the heart. In no world is that going to qualify as self-defense. I'll let Andrew Branca. He's been on the show many times in connection with the Kyle Rittenhouse case.
He's got a whole blog called Law of Self-Defense. He's very pro Second Amendment. He took a look at the police report. Here's what he said.
This is what you were saying, Mark, because the second part of that statute that I read that speaks to deadly force and defensive person reads, uh, the actor's belief, you know, that you're about to face deadly bodily harm, deadly bodily harm. Um,
that the belief that the deadly force was immediately necessary as described above is presumed to be reasonable if the actor did not provoke the person against whom the force was used. So that provocation, he's saying, he's saying, make me, you know, make me,
Well, not only that, but unfortunately, the Internet has done its thing, and they have tried to paint the victim here, Austin Metcalf, as a white supremacist for which there is zero support. It's ridiculous. There's circulating pictures of Austin and his twin brother wearing camouflage and holding guns, like going out hunting, juxtaposed with Anthony in a suit, and this very popular...
guy on X calls him a suspected white supremacist, a suspected white supremacist. No, I mean, honestly, you could get sued for this, sir. Like you seriously could get sued. And by the way. there are lots of pictures of Carmelo Anthony holding a gun and holding up the middle finger and trying to look like a thug on the internet too.
But this is what the prosecutor is going to have to deal with too, when he's trying to pick a jury, right? Have you seen these posts suggesting that the decedent is some sort of a white supremacist? It's a lie, but it's out there.
