**The Hodgetwins** (0:56)
So Karmelo Anthony was found guilty of first-degree murder and the black community is melting down online. Yeah. Watch this.

**SPEAKER_4** (1:04)
So the verdict is in for Karmelo Anthony and they just found him guilty. And I'm going to tell you right now that I'm not surprised. I knew that they was going to find him guilty.
I am not surprised at all.
But another young black man, life, is being flushed down the toilet just for defending himself.

**The Hodgetwins** (1:23)
Defending himself from a shove, being told to leave, that's self-defense. That's just a five or four CUs. Weird ladies.

**SPEAKER_4** (1:30)
This is what I mean when I say being black in America. And it's okay for them to dehumanize us, for them to demean us. And it is even okay for them to harm us.

**The Hodgetwins** (1:39)
He was never harmed. You'll have a scratch on him. The only person that was dehumanized and is still being dehumanized is Austin Metcalf. Yeah, his life mattered too.

**SPEAKER_5** (1:49)
So Karmelo Anthony was found guilty on first degree murder. And my heart really just not only goes out to Austin Metcalf's family, but also Karmelo because this one situation has changed his life forever.
You know, I was talking to my mom about it and I'm just like, damn, what if he just would have threw a hit? What if he would just would have said, you know what, I'm going to be choked?

**The Hodgetwins** (2:15)
He could have just walked away. Yeah, that's all they wanted. You don't belong under this tent. Leave.
It's funny. His life has changed forever. How about his twin brother and his father? Yeah. Moron.

**SPEAKER_5** (2:25)
I mean, I'm just shocked that it was on first degree murder versus manslaughter.

**The Hodgetwins** (2:36)
Manslaughter is like when you get into a fight with somebody, you punch them and they go to the ground and bash the head on some cement and that kills them. It's accidental death. Yeah.
What makes it an accident when you take a knife out consciously and stab somebody in the center of the chest where the heart is? How is that? It's not an accident. Yeah. He meant to do it. Stop using your brain stem. Use what frontal lobe you do got. Yeah, exactly.

**SPEAKER_5** (3:02)
Because to say he was the aggressor, to say that this was with intention or whatever the case may be, is very crazy to me. But that's crazy. He is guilty.

**SPEAKER_6** (3:14)
So they came out with a verdict around like a little before 3 o'clock. So two hours and 40 some minutes. Mind you, this is in Texas. I'm looking at this mug shot of this black child. My black child, your black child. My black son, your black son.
And it took them three hours to sentence this.

**The Hodgetwins** (3:40)
Three hours is way too long.
It took me 30 seconds. And you know what's crazy? It has nothing to do with his skin color. It has nothing to do about race. The dude's a murderer. My black son, your black son. It has nothing to do with skin color. He only cares because he's black. If these two kids was black, they wouldn't even be talking about it.

**SPEAKER_6** (3:59)
Now, a 19-year-old child to murder, they are going to throw away the rest of his baby's life.

**The Hodgetwins** (4:08)
19 is not a child, and nobody's throwing his life away. The white jury is not throwing his life away. Karmelo's actions is what caused him to throw his own life away. He threw Austin Metcalfe's life away, so now the juries have decided we're going to throw your life away. That's how it works.

**SPEAKER_6** (4:25)
For a stupid thing that he did at 18

**The Hodgetwins** (4:29)
You know what? I hate how these people are downplaying what he did. A stupid thing.
It wasn't just a stupid thing. It was murder.
