As Twitchy reported earlier, the family of Karmelo Anthony, the teen who stabbed 17-year-old Austin Metcalf in the heart at a high school track meet in Texas, held a presser Thursday, and said it was "disrespectful" that the father of the murdered teen showed up, and he was removed by police.
Anthony family spokesman Dominique Alexander showed printouts of social media posts and said that "racist bigots [are trying] to prevent us from standing up for our baby, our boy." He then noted that there were fundraisers for Kyle Rittenhouse, the white boy who shot "three people in the back" with an "AK-47."

Fact-check: Rittenhouse didn't shoot anyone in the back.
Kyle never shot anyone in the back.

This grifter is making things so much worse and I didn’t think that was possible.

When did Kyle Rittenhouse “shoot people in the back”?

I watched the streams of Kenosha that entire night. That is not what happened.
It's an outright lie. And yes, there is video, which helped convince a jury that Rittenhouse was innocent and acted in self-defense.
Karmelo Anthony asked the police whether his actions qualify as self-defense. That alone proves he is guilty of murder. The question reveals that he was not even convinced of his own self-defense claim. Open and shut case.

For his part, Rittenhouse weighed in Wednesday, before the presser that mentioned his name:
So, the left thinks what Karmelo Anthony did was self-defense, but what I did wasn’t? Can someone please help this make sense?

Sure. It's simple. You're white, so they hate you, and he's black, so they love him. That's it. That's the explanation. That's all that matters to them.

You are white and therefore an oppressor.

I don’t make the rules.
It's truly amazing that there are still people unclear about the Rittenhouse self defense shooting. This is solely because of fake media outlets perpetuating the false narrative.

Alexander is very unclear about the Rittenhouse case. Either that or he just doesn't care that he's lying.
Unfortunately, liberal logic makes no sense.
