Daniel Penny was attacked by a lunatic on a subway and defended himself and saved others in the process. His actions resulted in the death of the suspect. The media was painting him as a vigilante.
Karmelo Anthony was sitting in the team tent of the opposing team in Frisco and one of the players, Austin Metcalf told him he was in the wrong tent. So, Karmelo puts his hand in the bag he was carrying and says "put hands on me and find out what happens."
Austin touched him and then grabbed a bit more firmly to move him out of the tent. Karmelo pulled out a knife and stabbed Austin in the heart. He died there, in the stands, in his twin brother's arms.
Today, his bail was reduced to $250K and people were happy about that.
To cap it off, Daniel Penny, who is white, gets labeled a vigilante from protecting himself with his bare hands (arms, actually) from a crazed black attacker.
Karmelo brings a knife to an athletic event and purposely seeks out the team tent of the opposing team and decides to sit there and not move when asked to leave. Karmelo is black and stabs Austin, who is white, and kills him.
Admits it to police, too.
And people are happy that he is released.
NBC Dallas-Fort Worth obtained new information on Wednesday’s fatal stabbing during a high school track meet in Frisco, Texas.
