(ZeroHedge)—The Karmelo Anthony story never seems to end, and perhaps that’s a testament to the era we live in. It seems as though every prominent trial with any media attention is automatically politicized – From the Lindsay Clancy circus to the Luigi Mangionne case to Anthony stabbing Austin Metcalf, the political left has been particularly invasive. Not only do they consistently take the side of the murderers, but they continue in their efforts to blame and terrorize the victims.

Such is the ongoing reality of the Metcalf family, who are now faced with an array of threats from online lunatics and race militants looking for “payback” after the conviction of their hero, Karmelo Anthony.

A Missouri woman is currently facing federal charges for threatening to kill Austin Metcalf’s father (Jeff Metcalf) and “put him in a body bag” because of Anthony’s prison sentence. Court documents show Sharifa Nicole Henderson, who is also known as Riffa Henderson, was arrested on September 11 and indicted on three federal counts over messages she allegedly sent “on or about June 9” – which was the day Anthony was convicted and sentenced to 35 years behind bars.

In one message she allegedly wrote:

“Don’t worry. I’ll kill you next…I will hunt you forever until I kill you … I will be there. You will always have to look over your fucking shoulder.”

In another post, she reportedly threatened to “demolish” the Metcalf family. U.S. Attorney Jay R. Combs said investigators traced the messages through phone and social media records.

“The stability of our society rests in part on the proper functioning of our system,” Combs said. “If you threaten to kill or harm jurors, judges, prosecutors or victims, we will treat those threats seriously.”

Henderson could get a maximum of 5 years in prison for each charge if convicted. But why does the political left engage in trial tampering and intimidation? Because the leftist philosophy relies on an inversion of the moral order and power is their only value.

In the case of Karmelo Anthony, the murderer is a young black man and the victim is a young white man, therefore Anthony must be protected as a symbol of the tearing down (the murder) of the western moral order. If Austin Metcalf had been black, leftists and black activists never would have cared. They would have ignored the case entirely.

Anthony was convicted in June after his representatives attempted to try the case in the court of public opinion. Numerous false claims were made in order to paint Austin Metcalf as the aggressor (very similar to activist efforts to make Lindsay Clancy into a victim and paint her husband as the “real killer”).

The bottom line? Anthony was a psychopath looking for trouble. He had a history of violent and bizarre behavior and text messages from before the event show that he fantasized about murder. He walked into the team tent of Austin Metcalf armed with a knife like a coward and hoping someone would ask him to leave.
