Despite the clear case, Anthony&#8217;s supporters across the country have initiated a disturbing TikTok trend celebrating Metcalf&#8217;s death. Users dance to a song called \u201cAustin Bop,\u201d which <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/trump-shares-paul-ankas-maga-version-of-my-way-washington-examiner\/\" title=\"Trump shares Paul Anka\u2019s MAGA version of \u2018My Way\u2019 - Washington Examiner\">includes lyrics referencing<\/a> the stabbing, and reenact the assault with knives, provoking outrage. This trend has been condemned for mocking a murdered individual and causing grief to his family, particularly Hunter and Jeff Metcalf, who lost their son and brother.Critics point out the racial dimension of this reaction, noting that similar behaviors in other communities would prompt widespread outrage. some supporters even attempted to petition for Hunter Metcalf&#8217;s arrest as an accessory to murder, a move that is under review. Public figures like Texas Rep. Jasmine Crockett have justified such behavior, citing systemic issues and societal woes. The article likens this phenomenon to historical honor culture, citing the 1856 caning of Senator Charles Sumner, and suggests this mentality persists today, fostering a cycle of violence justified by perceived insults and disrespect.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><br \/>\n<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC \"-\/\/W3C\/\/DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional\/\/EN\" \"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/TR\/REC-html40\/loose.dtd\"><br \/>\n<?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><html><body><\/p>\n<section> \t\t\t\t<script>console.log(\"ad slot (AC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC2)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC3)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC4)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (REP_0)\")<\/script><\/p>\n<p>Last week saw the conviction and sentencing of 19-year-old Karmelo Anthony for the April 2025 stabbing murder of Austin Metcalf.

Charles Sumner was severely beaten via caning by South Carolina Democratic Rep. Preston Brooks. Sumner\u2019s offense was denouncing slavery and chastising South Carolina Democratic Sen. Andrew Butler, a cousin of Brooks and the co-author of the 1854 Kansas-Nebraska Act, which Sumner saw as responsible for Bleeding Kansas, a guerilla war in the territory over its status as slave or free.<\/p>\n<p>Essentially, Sumner had gravely insulted Brooks\u2019 family and his beloved institution, so he had to be punished. The caning brutalized Sumner so badly he was physically unable to sit in Congress for years.<\/p>\n<p>Southern newspapers were elated with the caning. Rather than denounce the violence over someone\u2019s words, they cheered for it. Brooks was sent a new cane with the engraving \u201cHit Him Again.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Southern honor and pride created a touchiness, making them quick to anger at the first sign of disrespect. Violence was justified.<\/p>\n<p>That same mentality endures in America today.<\/p>\n<div style=\"background-color: #f7f7f7; color: #171717; display: flex;font-size: 16px;font-weight: 600;line-height: 1.5;margin: 24px 0;padding: 18px 20px 18px 30px;text-align: left;\">\n<div style=\"align-self: stretch;border-left: 3px solid #171717;flex-shrink: 0;padding-left: 20px;\"><\/div>\n<p><a style=\"text-decoration: none;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/preferences\/source?q=https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/\">Choose The Western Journal as your preferred source on Google and never miss reporting that defends truth, protects freedom, and advances Western civilization<\/a><\/div>\n<p style=\"border: 1px solid #f5f5f5; padding: 16px;\">Advertise with The Western Journal and reach millions of highly engaged readers, while supporting our work. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/advertise-us\/?wj_source=article\">Advertise Today<\/a>.<\/p>\n<div style=\"position: relative;\">\n<div class=\"ff-fancy-header-container\"> \t\t\t \t<\/div>\n<div class=\"entry-submit-correction inner-content\">\n<div class=\"correction-form\">\n<form style=\"display: none;\">\n<div class=\"sc-name-field\"> \t\t\t\t\t\t<label>* Name<\/label> \t\t\t\t\t\t<br \/> \t\t\t\t\t\t<input type=\"text\" name=\"name\" required> \t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n<div class=\"sc--field\"> \t\t\t\t\t\t<label>* <\/label> \t\t\t\t\t\t<br \/> \t\t\t\t\t\t<input type=\"text\" name=\"\" required> \t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n<p> \t\t\t\t\t<label>* Message<\/label> \t\t\t\t\t<br \/> \t\t\t\t\t<textarea name=\"message\" required><\/textarea> \t\t\t\t\t \t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n<div class=\"required-message\" style=\"display: none; padding-bottom: 15px;\">* All fields are required.<\/div>\n<p> \t\t\t\t\t<input type=\"submit\" value=\"Submit\" onclick=\"event.preventDefault(); firefly_sc();\"> \t\t\t\t\t \t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n<div class=\"firefly-sc-confirm\" style=\"display: none;\">Success!<\/div>\n<\/p><\/form>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p> \t\t<script> \t\t\tfunction firefly_sc() { \t\t\t\tif( typeof window.captchaPublicKey == typeof undefined ){ \t\t\t\t\tconsole.error('window.captchaPublicKey is not defined'); \t\t\t\t} \t\t\t\tgrecaptcha.execute( window.captchaPublicKey, { action: 'submit_correction' } ).then( function( token ) { \t\t\t\t\tvar opts = { \t\t\t\t\t\taction:    'firefly_sc_submit', \t\t\t\t\t\tname:      document.querySelector( '.entry-submit-correction [name=\"name\"]' ).value, \t\t\t\t\t\t:     document.querySelector( '.entry-submit-correction [name=\"\"]' ).value, \t\t\t\t\t\tmessage:   document.querySelector( '.entry-submit-correction [name=\"message\"]' ).value, \t\t\t\t\t\tpost_id:   firefly_post_id, \t\t\t\t\t\tcap_token: token \t\t\t\t\t}  \t\t\t\t\tvar inputs = [ 'name', '', 'message' ];  \t\t\t\t\tfor( var i = 0; i < inputs.length; i++ ) if( !
