  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

A teenager who fatally stabbed a standout football player at a Texas high school track meet last April was convicted of murder Tuesday.

Karmelo Anthony, now 19, faces up to life in prison following his conviction in the murder of 17-year-old Austin Metcalf at a school stadium in the Dallas suburb of Frisco in April 2025.

Jurors at the Collin County Courthouse delivered the verdict in just over three hours after closing arguments were delivered earlier Tuesday on the trial’s fifth day, according to The Associated Press.

Anthony — who did not testify in his own defense after a volatile day of testimony by witnesses for the defense — faces up to life in prison upon sentencing.
