I have twin boys. The image of this kid holding his dying brother in his arms fills me with grief and rage. If you feel no sympathy for Austin’s family then you are not human. You have no soul. In saner times we would exile you from society. You don’t deserve to live among us. x.com/mattwallace888…

Analysis Summary
Austin Metcalf, a Texas high school student, was stabbed to death at a track meet in April 2025 by classmate Karmelo Anthony, who received a 35-year sentence. The post uses the tragedy to attack people who have expressed sympathy for Anthony, calling them inhuman and unworthy of living in society — framing that goes far beyond condemning the crime itself into dehumanizing rhetoric against political opponents. The underlying facts are accurate, but the post weaponizes a genuine tragedy to justify banishment rhetoric against people with different views on criminal justice.
