Not a violent crime, but I was walking through a small park near my new home in Greenville, SC. I was a bit taken aback by the sight of kid’s bikes just left unattended, quite a distance and out of sight from the owners. Then I realized why.

A Missouri firefighter paramedic has tragically died after he was stabbed to death by a patient in the back of an ambulance.
29-year-old Kansas City Fire Department Fire Medic Graham Hoffman was murdered while transporting the patient to the hospital.
Hoffman died on Sunday, a few hours after he was stabbed in the chest, the city of Kansas City said in a news release.
The patient who killed Hoffman was being taken to the hospital following a routine medical call from police.
In early April the 17-year-old Texan athlete Austin Metcalf was stabbed to death at a high school track meet by Karmelo Anthony, also 17. The facts of the case seem to be that Karmelo was in the wrong tent, which Austin told him to leave. Karmelo refused, Austin tried to push him out, and so, as any reasonable person would do, Karmelo stabbed him.
The aftermath of this incident was fascinating to observe. Whites were understandably upset about the murder, but if we’re being honest, whites have endured many such tragedies over the decades, and have generally reacted by stoically letting the courts handle it while publicly insisting that race has nothing to do with it. Austin’s father Jeff Metcalf followed this script precisely, taking to national television to announce that he had already forgiven Karmelo Anthony for murdering his son, that it wasn’t about race, and so on. Metcalf has held frame on this despite being humiliated by Karmelo’s family when he showed up at their own press conference to pray with them: Karmelo’s father told him his presence was disrespectful, and kicked him out. Afterwards, Metcalf got SWATted.
The black community closed ranks around Karmelo. A GoFundMe raised over half a million dollars, which Karmelo’s family was able to keep after the (black) judge dropped his bail from a million to a quarter million. hey bought themselves a nice house and a luxury car. Meanwhile, blacks were all over social media defending the murderer, claiming that the murder was justified because it was self-defence – Austin had ‘laid hands on’ Karmelo, he’d disrespected him – and even because it was raining. Many of them made analogies to Kyle Rittenhouse, who was literally fighting for his life against three armed assailants while on his back on the ground.
To the white people watching all of this, the entire spectacle was grotesque.
Both whites and blacks have been accustomed to the legacy media presenting them with carefully curated black victim, engendering sympathy from whites and outrage from blacks. George Floyd, dead after a white police officer knelt on his neck. Michael Brown, shot by a white police officer. Trayvon Martin, killed by a ‘white’ (actually Hispanic) neighbourhood watchman. Rodney King, beaten by white police officers.
In every single one of these cases – I should probably say ‘almost every’, to be careful, but I can’t actually think of an exception – when the full facts became available the black ‘victim’ is revealed to be significantly less sympathetic than the media initially pretended. George Floyd was a career criminal high on enough fentanyl to drop a rhinoceros, which is almost certainly why he died. Michael Brown was attacking the police officer that shot him. Trayvon Martin was attacking George Zimmerman. Rodney King was high on PCP and resisting arrest.
Those facts never really mattered, because by the time they came out, the narrative had been set, the riots had happened, white people had been sufficiently cowed, and the news cycle had moved on.
The Karmelo Anthony case is entirely distinct from this. Anthony is not sympathetic in the slightest. There is no question here of who is the victim, and who the criminal.
Yet the black community did not care at all. They saw only one of their own being arrested for doing something that, apparently, does not even register with them as morally wrong – murdering a white boy.
White people noticed this. As the drama unfolded on social media, you could almost feel the vibe shifting. The anger growing. The disgusted feeling of betrayal festering. The sense of just being done with it all, done with pretending, done with the lies, done with the coddling and the affirmations and the endless investments in dem programs. It wasn’t even anger, really ... what was spreading felt more like cold indifference.

It's possible only if black people are far more racist than white people and deliberately choose to attack whites.
Why is this violent racism never mentioned in the mainstream press?
