A teenage boy tragically lost his life at a track meet, stirring up emotions for his grieving father. The father was unexpectedly confronted by rioters from the January 6 event, pressuring him to participate in a ‘Protect White People’ media briefing.

Jeff Metcalf’s 17-year-old son Austin was tragically stabbed in the chest while attending a track meet at his Texas high school on April 2.

Teenager Karmelo Anthony was last week granted bond as he awaits his next court appearance on a charge of murder. 

This incident has sparked intense political discussions and debates. A fundraiser for the father, Karmelo, has garnered an impressive amount, surpassing $480,000. Supporters have united behind Karmelo, arguing that he has faced unjust treatment solely based on his race.

Amidst the turmoil, a disturbing video surfaced featuring Jake Lang, a previous participant in the January 6 riot whose sentence was commuted by President Trump. Lang launched a reprehensible verbal assault on Metcalf, the grieving father, when he discovered that Metcalf did not align with his views on how race played a role in his son’s tragic death.

‘Would you be willing to stand by me… and talk about this issue that is larger than Austin at this point,’ Lang asked Metcalf over the phone, surrounded by supporters.

‘God rest the beautiful young man’s soul that would’ve been one of our strongest voices if he were alive today.’

Metcalf listened politely as Lang spoke, before dismantling his arguments and demanding his son’s name, picture and memory are not associated with his cause.

In an extraordinary video, Jake Lang – who was part of the January 6 insurrection before his case was commuted by President Trump – launched a vile attack against Metcalf after realizing he didn’t share his opinion on the influence of race in his son’s death

‘Are you done?’ he asked. ‘My turn to speak. You are part of the f**king problem, my friend.

‘You’re trying to create more race divide than bridging the gap. I do not condone anything you do. You do not have any-‘

Lang interrupted, telling Metcalf he is suffering from ‘white guilt.’

‘Let me finish, you had your time,’ Metcalf said. ‘You take my son’s face off your website. I do not associate with you.’

Lang went on to sensationally tell the grieving father, who had to bury his son a week ago, that his ‘weakness’ will ‘create more Austin Metcalfs.’

‘Condemn your son’s killer and the culture that caused it,’ Lang demanded.

Lang describes himself as a ‘January 6 political prisoner’ and attempted to organize a militia from within his DC jail.

He is now running to become a US senator and vows to deliver a ‘100 per cent Trump America agenda.’

Lang went on to sensationally tell the grieving father, who had to bury his son a week ago, that his ‘weakness’ will ‘create more Austin Metcalfs.’

He said: ‘The Jan Sixers have risen out and emerged out of these prisons and these gulags, these lions’ dens, and we’re going to slay the giant now, just as David has.

‘This is almost a real life, living biblical story, not just mine, but really all the Jan Sixers are – a long journey from degradation, from persecution, to the very halls of government leadership that can ensure for future generations that this never happens again.’ 

Austin was stabbed in the heart at an interschool track meet on April 2 and died in his twin brother’s arms.

Local cops allege a confrontation between the pair broke out during a high school track meet because Karmelo, who did not attend the same school as Austin, was sitting under his team’s tent.

Austin demanded Karmelo leave and the argument escalated when Karmelo allegedly produced a knife and stabbed the junior from Memorial High School in the chest.

Karmelo has claimed he acted in self defense. He was freed from prison on $250,000 bond last week.

But his family say they’ve been inundated with racist and violent vitriol, and that some of the funds raised in the fundraiser will be used to hire security.

Not satisfied with his initial attack on Jeff, Lang doubled down on X afterwards, writing: ‘White Weakness & Submission is WHY AUSTIN DIED.

Lang describes himself as a ‘January 6 political prisoner’ and attempted to organize a militia from within his DC jail.

‘Jeff Metcalf IS THE PROBLEM. Austin Metcalf’s father is more outraged at ME – for STANDING UP against the violent abusive black culture that KILLED HIS SON, Then he is at the actual degenerate MURDERER.

‘Next up he’ll hand his daughter over to be raped in front of the world by the same monsters that killed his son.’

Even among his followers, Lang’s post garnered little support, with most expressing horror that he would target a man who just lost his son.

‘You are so far out of line for this,’ one critic wrote.

‘This is wrong, and it is certainly not your place,’ another added.

A third added: ‘You are an absolute disgrace. Leave this man alone and let him grieve. You called him on camera as a publicity stunt… he told you to leave him alone and stop talking about his son. Only a true POS would not only ignore the wishes of a grieving parent, but then REPEATEDLY attack him on social media.

Another critic weighed in, adding that Lang had jeopardized any potential support he may have got from the Metcalf family. 

‘Has he even buried his son yet? Maybe if you let his grief breathe for a minute he would be more open to a conversation, but this just squashed any chance of that for him to be involved in your movement.’

The Metcalf family have been under immense pressure since the death of their son, watching as Austin’s accused killer racks up hundreds of thousands of dollars to mount his legal defense and having to fend of false rumors spreading rampantly online

The Metcalf family have been under immense pressure since the death of their son, watching as Austin’s accused killer racks up hundreds of thousands of dollars to mount his legal defense and having to fend of false rumors spreading rampantly online.

Karmelo’s attorney previously dismissed rumors that Austin bullied him, insisting the day of the altercation was the first time the duo had met.

And just two days ago officers responded to a fabricated report of shooting at an address that turned out to be Metcalf’s home.

Police also said individuals swatted the home of Meghan Metcalf, Austin Metcalf’s mother, on the night of April 8. 

Earlier that day, he crashed a press conference where Karmelo’s family and friends doubled down on the claim that he may have acted in self-defense.

After refusing to leave, cops tossed Jeff out of the event in Dallas, with Minister Dominique Alexander, who has been described as Karmelo’s fixer, calling the grieving father’s behavior ‘inappropriate,’ and ‘a disrespect to the dignity of his son.’
