Karmelo Anthony

The Karmelo Anthony trial is revealing new levels of stupidity, and new levels of race-baiting that I never thought possible.

The fact that it has turned into black versus white, "them" versus us given the fact pattern is astonishing.

I have gotten into it with Maj Touré and Hotep Jesus.

It seems the vast majority of the remotely prominent voices crying "Karmelo innocent" are black, which I find shocking.

And making up their own fact pattern.

"Metcalfe attacked Karmelo".

Maj Touré actually said that witnesses are not evidence - like audio and video.

Not understanding that audio and video is not evidence until admitted into evidence - BY THE WITNESS.

It's a fabrication of reality.

A deliberate tear in the fabric of reason and law.

Tribalism. Them versus us. As though anyone saw race in this before Karmelo's family raised $750,000 because of "racism".

I initially thought Karmelo was guilty, but salvageable.

Now I am convinced he deserves the death penalty, even if it's not on the ...

    “She’ll be riding 7 white horses when she comes, when she comes. She’ll be riding around the bend when she comes, when she comes.” So may father sang some version of his own of the famed spiritual son that used to echo off the ridges and mountains and riverbeds that make Chattanooga home as returned from our morning paper route beneath the mountains and by this famed river bend.

A. Art of the Day 
  • The colorful, blurry, swimming-in-the-mind sense of a jazz cafe, balanced blissfully against the cacophony of conversation in the drum beat of the street surrounding, the blending of indoors and outdoors, the real and the surreal, the deeply honest and flagrantly fake, the warm cafe amidst the cold streets, with hope still stirring amidst. 
 
B. Wisdom of the Day
  •  "Avoid the necessity of those overgrown military establishments, which, under any form of government, are inauspicious to liberty, and which are to be regarded as particularly hostile to Republican Liberty.” George Washington.

The Barnes Brief, Weekend of May 29, 2026

BRIEF

I. THE INTRODUCTION
 
A. Art of the Day 
  • The Battle of Bunker Hill, by early American artist John Trumbull, a battle the British managed to lose while winning. By holding off the British as long as they did, the Americans seized the narrative and strategic victory. Legend grew of a young farmer turned Colonel of the Minute Men, promising to hold the Hill or periosh trying for at least one more night, with the famous phrase echoed: “Don’t Fire Boys Till You See the Whites of Their Eyes”, or at least legend would have it. I admit my fondness for the legend with its Sun Tsu style proverbial wisdom, but also for a more direct reason: Colonel Prescott was a great, great granddaddy of mine. 
 
B. Wisdom of the Day
  • “Don’t Fire Till You See the Whites of Their Eyes.” Colonel Prescott, according to legend.
