Not a deadly weapon? Austin Metcalf would beg to differ, were he alive to do so

Karmello Anthony will have 35 years to ponder the question of who suffers more at the death of their child, a white mother or a black mother, but he’s already disproved Rep. Crockett’s contention that small knives can’t be deadly weapons. Perhaps he should have consulted this expert before bringing his blade to school:

10 Myths About Knives & Knife Defense

By Joe Truncale

1. Myth: A small knife is not dangerous. It is amazing the damage even a small 2-inch blade can do to human flesh. A small knife can be hidden easily and can penetrate an artery before the victim realizes what has happened. A small knife can be manipulated in the hand with ease and be used in a wide variety of ways by an attacker. Never underestimate a small knife.

….

4. Myth: You must be an expert to effectively use a knife. This false assumption can get you killed. Even an untrained subject who uses only an up-and-down stabbing motion can be deadly. If the subject is strong, he or she will drive right through a blocking movement. You should view anyone with a knife as a serious threat that may cause great bodily harm or death if given the opportunity.

And then we have this, related story about the persecution of black women:

Wanna know who’s getting rich from the guilty verdict? Well, lots of professional agitators, but here’s just one of the small fry; funded, like most of the others, by Act Blue.

The Organization Behind the Karmelo Anthony Case

If you’ve been following the Anthony case, you may have heard of the Next Generation Action Network (NGAN) and Minister Dominique Alexander, its controversial president and CEO. NGAN and Alexander

The Next Generation Action Network is a Dallas-based 501(c)(4) nonprofit organization founded in 2014. NGAN’s stated mission is to eradicate so-called social injustice through educational, civil, and community reform. The group frequently engages in activism related to police reform, youth incarceration, and community engagement. Alexander is its president and CEO.

…. Alexander has a criminal history that includes a 2009 conviction for injury to a child after violently shaking his girlfriend’s two-year-old son, resulting in serious injuries. He was sentenced to probation, but in 2016 he violated that probation by racking up multiple traffic offenses and failing to comply with court requirements. He was later arrested on a felony assault charge for domestic violence in 2019. Yet despite this troubling record, he continues to position himself as a prominent activist in Texas, regularly speaking at rallies and leading protests.

…. Red flag? When you click the “donate” button on their website, you’re redirected to an ActBlue fundraising page collecting donations for the organization. Yes, this is the same ActBlue that is currently under investigation for possible “terror-financing” and fraud.
