A Texas parole officer was canned over a sick social media post supporting killer Karmelo Anthony<\/a> while celebrating the fact that his 17-year-old victim, Austin Metcalf, was white, according to a report.<\/p>\n

Donna Murray Robinson, 35, lost her job with the Texas Department of Criminal Justice over the twisted Facebook post about the divisive trial, which ended with the 19-year-old killer<\/a> being sentenced to 35 years in prison for first-degree murder, according to the Dallas Morning News.<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cI for one don\u2019t give a fk about the family\u2019s loss,\u201d the Houston native posted on her now-deleted account about Metcalf\u2019s grieving family, according to screenshots also obtained by the Daily Mail<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s about time these fkng [sic] bigots feel the pain that they have inflicted on other groups of people since the beginning of time!\u201d <\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m just glad we didn\u2019t have to bury another black child. Let them start burying some of theirs for a change. FK\u2019em [sic] I said what I said.\u201d<\/p>\n

Robinson, who identified herself as a parole supervisor with TDCJ, added that Anthony would be \u201cprotected\u201d in prison by fellow inmates.<\/p>\n

Robinson said she doesn\u2019t care about the Metcalf family\u2019s loss.<\/p>\n

Robinson was fired after her bosses caught wind of the posts, a department spokesperson told the Morning News.<\/p>\n

Working at TDCJ \u201ccarries significant public trust and requires decisions free from personal bias.\u201d\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s the latest on Karmelo Anthony\u2019s murder conviction:<\/p>\n

\u201cThese statements are incompatible with TDCJ policy and values. They demonstrate bias and a lack of the impartiality essential to the fair administration of justice in Texas,\u201d the statement said.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cDiscriminatory or inflammatory conduct that erodes public confidence in the criminal justice system will not be tolerated.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

Robinson did not respond to the Morning News or Daily Mail\u2019s request for comment.<\/p>\n

Anthony was convicted of first-degree murder in Texas<\/a> last week for fatally stabbing Metcalf at a high school track meet in Frisco, Texas in April 2025.<\/p>\n

The two clashed when Anthony was sitting in Metcalf\u2019s team\u2019s tent during a rain delay. Metcalf repeatedly told him to leave, but Anthony refused, warning, \u201cTouch me and find out.\u201d<\/p>\n

Metcalf then pushed Anthony, who\u00a0pulled out a knife and stabbed Metcalf in the chest, witnesses said. Metcalf died in his twin brother\u2019s arms.<\/p>\n

As the murder case made national headlines tensions escalated over race<\/a>, with some Anthony\u2019s supporters trying to paint Metcalf, who was white, as a bully who targeted Anthony, who was black.<\/p>\n

Anthony has since appealed his conviction and his 35-year prison sentence<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A Texas parole officer was canned over a sick social media post supporting killer Karmelo Anthony while celebrating…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":338821,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[11],"tags":[132,134,133,114711,13585,120799,7456,85548,27,9929,734],"class_list":["post-338820","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-austin","tag-austin","tag-austin-headlines","tag-austin-news","tag-karmelo-anthony","tag-parole","tag-parole-officers","tag-sentencing","tag-stabbings","tag-texas","tag-trials","tag-us-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/338820","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=338820"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/338820\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/338821"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=338820"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=338820"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=338820"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
