They Had Water Guns! Insane Excuse Anthony Family Used for New Home Spending

Look, I’m not saying that the family of Karmelo Anthony — the notorious teenage murder suspect whose case has become a racial minefield for reasons less explicable than usual in these situations — is grifting off of the crowdfunding they’ve been getting for his defense and various costs.

All I’m saying is, if they’re not grifting, they’re going to have to get Merriam-Webster and several other reputable dictionaries to change the meaning of the verb “to grift.” To maybe, say, meaning the act of making pancakes. Or to nail a neat skateboard trick. Something like that.

In case you’ve been wondering, the family of Anthony — the 17-year-old Frisco, Texas teen facing first-degree murder charges for fatally stabbing Austin Metcalf, also 17, at a track meet — has been raising money at a surprising clip.

Surprising, given that there’s no especial reason to believe Anthony is being railroaded other than he’s black and Metcalf was white. Anthony reportedly admitted he stabbed Metcalf for trying to move him from an area where he didn’t belong, claimed self-defense even though the grounds he reportedly gave police during interviews didn’t even come close to legally viable, and has — instead of relying on canny legal strategies and keeping quiet until the trial — enlisted every two-bit race hustler in the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex eager to make Anthony their 21st century version of Tawana Brawley.

What’s also surprising is the clip at which Anthony’s family seems to be spending the money, and not on high-end legal representation. As of an April 30 report in the U.K. Daily Mail, over $500,000 has been raised.

Initially, it was alleged they had bought a house in a gated community and some high-end automobiles. It was later reported that this was fake news; all of it was merely rented, because they needed security and a new location thanks to Anthony’s notoriety.

‘Cannibal’ killer warning signs exposed in new report with release plan already in motion

New prison documents show that Tyree Smith, who has been dubbed the “Connecticut Cannibal,” exhibited violent behavior behind bars and was a “serious threat to life” in prison before he was granted release, according to a news report.

Smith confessed to the 2011 killing of a homeless man, Angel Gonzalez, in Connecticut, and he admitted to eating the victim’s body parts in a cemetery.

In 2013, a three-judge panel found Smith not guilty by reason of insanity in the death of Gonzalez. However, he was committed to Connecticut Valley Hospital for 60 years.

Smith was granted a conditional release by the Nutmeg State’s Psychiatric Security Review Board in February 2025, which allows him to leave Connecticut Valley Hospital in Middletown. However, Smith will remain under supervision and will continue to receive mental health services, according to WTNH.

For months, Smith has been staying full-time at a community facility with strict conditions, treatment and around-the-clock supervision, CBS News reported after the release from the hospital was granted.

Smith’s doctor said the cannibal killer has been rehabilitated and is taking medications to help with psychosis and voices in his head, WTNH reported.

“To quote the director there, he is a joy. He is considered a support to the other people there,” forensic psychiatrist Caren Teitelbaum said. “Once he was stable, he was a really calming presence for other patients.”

“He has maintained clinical stability. Adhered to the medications and continued to engage in group and substance abuse treatment,” Teitelbaum added. “He also denied visual hallucinations and a desire to harm others or himself.”

However, new prison documents obtained by WTNH from the Connecticut Department of Correction suggest otherwise.

Two Israeli businessmen murdered hours apart in same LA neighborhood — with one held captive for hours and beaten to death

Two Israeli businessmen were found murdered hours apart in their homes in the same section of Los Angeles Saturday, with one tied up and beaten to death while the other was identified as the brother of a prison warden in the Jewish state, police said.

There is no apparent connection between the two killings, but they both occurred in the San Fernando Valley inside the victims’ homes.

The murder of Alexander Modebadze, 47, was particularly heinous, according to cops.

Three attackers broke into Modebadze’s home, held him captive for hours and savagely beat him to death, police said in a statement.

Police later arrested and charged three Georgian nationals for the murder: Pata Kochiashvili, Zaza Outarashvili and Basiki Kutsishvili.

They are being held on a $2 million bail.

Later that day, cops found another murdered Israeli businessman in the San Fernando Valley: Meni Hidhra, the brother of the warden of Israel’s Nitzan Prison, the Jewish Journal reported.

Fears of New US Serial Killer After Eighth Death in String of Peaceful Towns

Social media users fear that a serial killer is on the loose in New England after police pronounced a woman dead in Massachusetts on Tuesday.

Between March and April, three Northeastern states have reported the discovery of human remains, most of them belonging to women, according to Fox News.

This latest incident in Springfield, Massachusetts, where police responded to a call about an unresponsive woman found near a bike path, marked the eighth death that internet sleuths have attributed to a supposed killer.

It is unclear if the woman died before police arrived, but the Springfield Police Department revealed that she was dead shortly after they arrived on the scene.

While SPD has not yet determined a cause of death, the woman’s demise has fanned the flames of the ongoing rumors.

The rumors reportedly originated on a Facebook group called “New England Serial Killer,” which is changing its name due to Facebook policy. The group has more than 66,000 members.

Before this incident, four sets of remains — in different stages of decomposition — were reported in Connecticut, one in Rhode Island, and now three in Massachusetts, according to Fox News.

“The first thing that strikes me as curious is the fact that seven sets of remains have been found over the span of two months,” Peter Valentin, chair of the Forensic Science Department at the University of New Haven, told Fox News. “That in and of itself is rather curious. It’s certainly a lot to find in a little. It’s a large number of human remains to find in a short period of time.”

While the bodies were discovered over two months, each had decomposed to different degrees of severity, indicating the deaths had happened much further apart.

Trans baby killer filed $3.5M lawsuit against Trump for ‘transphobic’ views that led to alleged sexual assaults behind bars

A transgender woman convicted of killing her infant filed a handwritten lawsuit against President Trump, claiming his “transphobic hate speech” fueled repeated instances of sexual assault she endured at an all-male prison in Indiana.

Autumn Cordellionè, also known as Jonathan C. Richardson, alleged that the president’s “extremist rhetoric” emboldened her assailants to violently assault and rape her in January shortly after she was transferred from protective custody to Westville Correctional Facility to serve out her 55-year sentence.

She said Trump is “negligent due his alleged knowledge that others may act on his words,” the baby killer scribbled in the 13-page suit filed in the Southern District of Indiana on April 1.

Cordellionè is seeking $3.5 million in damages from the commander in chief.

“President Trump has vowed to defend biological women from gender ideology extremism and restore biological truth to the Federal government,” a White House spokesperson told The Post when asked to comment on the lawsuit.

Sweden’s Murder Rate Now Higher Than El Salvador’s After Years of Globalist Mass Migration Policies—Half of Older Swedes Want to Flee the Country

Sweden, once hailed as a beacon of safety and “progressive utopia” of Europe, is now facing a grim and unthinkable reality: its murder rate has climbed higher than that of El Salvador, long infamous for gang violence, and a nation that, until recently, was considered one of the most dangerous places on Earth.

The shocking revelation, confirmed by multiple sources, highlights the catastrophic consequences of decades of open-border, globalist immigration policies championed by Sweden’s out-of-touch left-liberal establishment.

According to data from early 2025, Sweden has reported 32 murders just in the first 110 days of the year. By comparison, El Salvador, after a massive anti-gang crackdown led by President Bukele, has reported only 20. That means Sweden now has over 50% more murders than the former gang warzone.

The Central American country’s dramatic turnaround is largely credited to President Nayib Bukele’s zero-tolerance strategy against gangs like MS-13 and Barrio 18, involving mass arrests and long prison sentences.

Meanwhile, Sweden reels from deadly shootings and bombings carried out by criminal migrant gangs that flourish in the country’s increasingly ‘diverse’ urban enclaves.

The first quarter of 2025 alone saw 19 firearm-related homicides in Sweden, alongside 13 other murders and suspicious deaths under investigation. And that’s just the cases where suspects have been identified or arrested—another 20 unexplained deaths weren’t even included in the official count, suggesting the real numbers could be worse.

In January, Stockholm was rocked by 32 bombings, a brutal indication of how deeply embedded organized criminal networks have become in Swedish society. The violence isn’t isolated either—it’s spreading from no-go zones in major cities to the country’s quieter suburbs and towns.

Tragically, Sweden, once one of the safest and most peaceful countries in the world, is being eaten alive from the inside out by violent criminal networks that globalist politicians have imported under the guise of “compassion” and “diversity.”

Another Body Found in Massachusetts Fuels Speculation and Fears About Possible New England Serial Killer

Last week, the Gateway Pundit reported that fears are growing that New England towns are being hunted by a serial killer.

Now another body has been found, this time in Springfield, Massachusetts, a small city in the western part of the state. This brings the victim count to eight. Most of the victims have been women.

Authorities are still trying to downplay speculation about the case but the subject is receiving an ever-increasing amount of attention on social media.

FOX News reported:

New England serial killer fears heighten after eighth idyllic town rocked by gruesome discovery

Massachusetts authorities are investigating the death of a woman found unresponsive off a bike path in Springfield on Tuesday.

Springfield Police Department spokesperson Ryan Walsh said officers responded to reports of an unresponsive person near a bike path at the 1500 block of Hall of Fame Avenue.

Upon arrival, officers discovered a woman who was pronounced dead shortly after.

“The SPD Homicide Unit under the direction Captain Trent Duda is conducting an unattended death investigation in conjunction with the @HampdenDA Murder Unit, pending an autopsy by the Medical Examiner,” Walsh said.

The woman’s death comes amid rumors circulating online about a possible New England serial killer following the deaths of seven and now eight people, mostly women, between March and April in Massachusetts, Connecticut and Rhode Island. As of Wednesday, authorities have not announced any kind of connection between the eight victims’ deaths…

The rumors began circulating on a Facebook group called “New England Serial Killer,” which has since changed its name due to Facebook rules and regulations. Over the last two months, human remains have been located in New Haven, Norwalk, Groton and Killingly, Connecticut; Foster, Rhode Island; and Framingham, Plymouth and now Springfield, Massachusetts.

Southern California judge found guilty of murdering his wife in 2023

A California jury convicted a judge of fatally shooting his wife following a drunken argument at their Anaheim Hills home in 2023, prosecutors said.

Prosecutors accused Orange County Superior Court Judge Jeffrey Ferguson of intentionally killing his wife, Sheryl Ferguson, 65, in their Anaheim, California, home in August 2023. During the trial, Jeffrey Ferguson admitted to shooting his wife but maintained that it was an accident.

Jurors rejected Jeffrey Ferguson’s testimony that he accidentally shot his wife and convicted him of second-degree murder as well as a felony gun enhancement on April 22, according to the Orange County District Attorney’s Office. He faces a maximum sentence of 40 years to life in prison and is scheduled to be sentenced on June 13.

DOJ accuses IL officials of having kept noncitizen from ICE accused of murder after jail release

One of several examples the U.S. Department of Justice gave of how federal officials have been obstructed by Illinois’ migrant sanctuary policies involves an illegal alien released from jail later being accused of murder.

“In January 2025, federal officials issued a detainer request for an alien who was being held in Cook County jail on sexual assault of a minor charges,” the DOJ said. “Pursuant to Cook County’s restrictions, law enforcement officers did not respond to the detainer request … Following the alien’s release from local jail, he was arrested and charged with homicide just 17 days later.”

The filing in federal court comes as the state of Illinois, Cook County and the city of Chicago are asking the judge in the case to hold off on tackling migrant sanctuary policies that the DOJ says obstructs federal agents from doing their job.

In a statement of material facts for its motion for summary judgment against the state’s migrant sanctuary laws, the U.S. Department of Justice last week said the federal government has exclusive authority over immigration laws and enforcement and President Donald Trump issued an executive order declaring a national emergency at the border.

“Congress recently expanded the list of crimes that can trigger mandatory detention requirements to include burglary, theft, larceny, shoplifting, or assault of a law enforcement officer, or any crime that results in death or serious bodily injury to another person,” the DOJ said in its filing for summary judgment. “Defendants’ sanctuary policies cause significant harm to federal immigration enforcement and public safety by not honoring immigration detention orders, or helping facilitate access to detainees in local custody.”

Activist-minister aiding teen killer Karmelo Anthony has his own lengthy rap sheet: reports

An activist representing accused teen killer Karmelo Anthony has a lengthy criminal history that includes a conviction on child abuse charges and allegations of domestic violence from a former romantic partner, according to past reports.

Minister Dominique Alexander, the appointed spokesperson for the alleged teen murderer, has previously been charged with multiple felonies for which he served almost zero prison time, according to local reports.

Back in 2009, Alexander was arrested for shaking and hitting the 2-year-old child of his then-girlfriend with an object, according to Fox 4 Dallas.

He was convicted of the charges in 2011, receiving two years of probation from a Dallas court.

However, in 2016, the activist was sentenced to two years in prison for multiple violations of that probation — but only served eight days in prison for two listed infractions of traveling out of state, according to the Dallas Morning News.
