A parole supervisor from Texas has been dismissed following inflammatory comments made about Austin Metcalf, a teenager who was tragically killed at a track meet by Karmelo Anthony.

Donna Murray Robinson, a 35-year-old resident of Houston, sparked outrage with her Facebook posts during Anthony’s recent trial, where she expressed satisfaction over the fact that Metcalf was a white victim.

“It’s about time these [expletive] bigots experience the suffering they’ve caused other groups since the dawn of time!” Robinson wrote in a post from an account that has since been deleted.

She further stated her relief that “another black child” did not have to be buried, adding, “Let them start burying some of theirs for a change. [Expletive] I said what I said.”

In addition, Robinson reassured her followers that “Karmelo will be okay” and mentioned that he “will be protected on the inside.”

‘I, for one, don’t give a fk [sic] about the family’s loss,’ she wrote.  

Robinson was relieved from her duties with the Texas Department of Criminal Justice (TDCJ) last week.

TDCJ confirmed to the Daily Mail that Robinson is no longer employed by the state agency. 

Donna Murray Robinson, 55, of Houston, was fired from her job as a parole supervisor with the Texas Department of Criminal Justice after making ‘inflammatory’ comments about the Karmelo Anthony trial 

‘I’m just glad we didn’t have to bury another black child. Let them start burying some of theirs for a change. FK’em [sic] I said what I said,’ she wrote from her now-deleted Facebook account

The agency said she was let go because of her comment, as her job requires her to ‘carry significant public trust and requires decisions free from personal bias.’ 

‘These 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,’ it said in a statement. 

‘Discriminatory or inflammatory conduct that erodes public confidence in the criminal justice system will not be tolerated.’ 

Anthony, 19, was sentenced to 35 years in prison earlier this month after the jury struck down the teen’s self-defense argument for Metcalf’s death.

His conviction has sparked mass debates about racism as he is black and Metcalf was white.

Anthony has launched an appeal of the verdict, court records showed. 

His lawyer, Mike Howard, told TMZ that his legal team told the court that they would be appealing right after the trial concluded.

‘We believe there are several important issues for the appellate courts to consider. An appeal is the next part of the legal process and a right afforded every American,’ Howard said.

Austin Metcalf was stabbed by Anthony in April 2025 at a track meet 

Last week, Anthony was sentenced to 35 years in prison. He has appealed the decision 

Anthony, who was 17 at the time of the fatal attack, sobbed in court on June 9 and his family burst into tears as the judge handed down the verdict. 

His mother begged the jury to show him mercy as an audible gasp was heard inside the courtroom when his sentence was handed down hours later. 

Throughout the trial, Anthony and his legal team have claimed that he stabbed Metcalf in an act of self-defense after they got into a confrontation during a rain delay at the sporting event.

Metcalf called out Anthony for standing under a tent that did not belong to his school, the Frisco Police Department said.

Anthony had originally faced between five to 99 years in prison for knifing Metcalf, but after the verdict was returned at the Collin County courthouse, prosecutors agreed to allow the jury to consider ‘sudden passion’ as a factor when determining his sentence.

‘Sudden passion’ is a legal term in Texas that allows a criminal to argue they were in an intense emotional state when they committed wrongdoing. It would have reduced Anthony’s sentence to that of a second-degree felony for which he could have served as little as two years behind bars.

However, the jury rejected the argument and spent less than three hours passing its guilty verdict, and another roughly two and a half hours before they handed down their sentence.

Anthony will now have to serve at least half of the sentence before he is eligible for parole.

Metcalf’s father, Jeff Metcalf, spoke to the JinxedSip podcast on Wednesday after a gag order forbidding either side from speaking out expired following the conclusion of the trial.

‘I hope he enjoyed that first night in that cell last night, because he’s going to have many nights to think about what the f**k he did.’ 

Metcalf’s father, Jeff Metcalf, celebrated Anthony’s sentencing and called his parents ‘cowards’

The stabbing happened under a team tent at the meet. The sentencing has since sparked mass debate about race and justice 

Jeff previously said he forgave his son’s killer, but said now that the ‘muzzle’s off’ he was going to make his feelings known. 

He had choice words for Anthony’s parents Drew and Kayla Anthony, who he branded ‘grifters’ and ‘cowards.’  

‘You wouldn’t even show up for your son’s sentencing or [the] victim impact statement, you abandoned your kid, you left him there!’ Jeff said, while raising his voice. 

‘I guess he’s no more use to you because he can’t get you more GoFundMe money or GiveSendGo money. You are grifters! You should be ashamed of yourself.

‘You never once took accountability. You tried to play victim. The real victim is the one who died, not the one who shoved a knife in his chest.’ 

The Daily Mail has reached out to Robinson for comment.  

An Alaska woman credits her quick thinking and a handgun for saving her dog’s life after a black bear incident on the Kenai Peninsula earlier this month.

On June 7, Lori Price was enjoying a walk near Skilak Lake with her two dogs, Chaos, a German short-haired pointer, and Willis, a chocolate Labrador, when their peaceful outing took a dangerous turn.

Price shared with Alaska News Source that a terrifying roar alerted her to the bear’s presence, which had come across her dogs.

“I heard the bear and instantly knew what was happening,” Price recalled. “My immediate instinct was to reach my dog as quickly as possible.”

When she spotted Chaos being attacked, Price drew a Glock 43 9mm pistol she was carrying and fired at the bear.

“I pull my pistol, and I shot. Boom! Down like a sack of potatoes goes the bear,” she recalled.

Price initially believed the danger had passed. But as she checked on Chaos, who was suffering from multiple bite wounds and significant blood loss, the bear got back up.

Price said she fired again before the animal rose once more.

“All of a sudden, the bear gets up again. And I’m like, ‘Oh my God. What?’” she recalled.

Price and her dogs then ran from the area while the bear headed off in the opposite direction. While returning to her vehicle, Price called 911, though she said poor cellphone reception made it difficult to stay connected with dispatchers.

After reaching her car, she flagged down a passing driver and told them she and her dog had been attacked.

Emergency responders arrived and helped care for Chaos before Price drove him to a veterinary clinic for treatment.

“My heart broke,” Price said. “He had so many bite marks on him. It was like the bear thought he was like a little sardine.”

Price credited veterinarian Dr. Patrick with helping save the dog’s life.

“Dr. Patrick called me from the veterinary clinic, and I owe him my dog’s life,” she said.

Chaos was released from the clinic later that day and is expected to make a full recovery. Price said the dog has regained his ability to walk and continues to heal from the attack.

“Obviously, we’re going through a lot of recovery, but he is really lucky to be alive,” she said.

Willis was not injured during the encounter.

Just a day following the revelation of a federal investigation into his actions, Governor Gavin Newsom has consented to pay an ethics fine of $31,500. This penalty comes after California’s political oversight body discovered that Newsom did not promptly disclose several million dollars in donations he solicited, many of which were connected to wildfire relief efforts in Los Angeles.

The Fair Political Practices Commission’s enforcement branch found that Newsom neglected to timely file 36 behested payment reports in 2024 and 2025. These reports encapsulated over $5.5 million in contributions from various corporations, foundations, and donors.

The late reports included donations from prominent figures in business and philanthropy: $1 million from the Chuck Lorre Foundation, $500,000 each from BlackRock, Uber Eats, Lockheed Martin, and the Anthem Blue Cross Foundation, $250,000 from Apple, $200,000 from Amazon, and $150,000 each from Verizon and American Express.

According to a document prepared for an FPPC meeting on Thursday, thirty-four of these payments were directed to the California Fire Foundation. Newsom or his staff recommended this nonprofit, which assists firefighters and fire victims, to those seeking to contribute following the catastrophic January 2025 wildfires in Los Angeles.

Newsom had previously been fined for a similar failure to report millions in behested payments on schedule.

Watchdogs said Newsom reported the donations before the FPPC became aware of them, and his office cooperated with the investigation. The filing also noted the emergency circumstances surrounding the wildfires.

However, the pattern of late reporting required a substantial penalty because “the present case is a repeat violation.”

The governor’s office did not respond to a requst for comment.

In November 2024, the FPPC approved a $10,500 penalty against Newsom over late reports involving $14.4 million in behested payments. Under California law, elected officials must disclose payments of $5,000 or more that they solicit for charities, government programs, or other causes.

Some of Newsom’s behested payment reports this time around were filed more than six months late. A $50,000 payment from Schwab Charitable Funds to the Institute for Local Government was reported 229 days late, according to the FPPC filing.

The proposed penalty amounts to $1,750 for each of the 18 counts regulators chose to charge. The maximum possible fine would have been $90,000.

The case comes at an awkward time for Newsom, who — along with his wife and staff — is currently the subject of federal investigations.

Sources told The Post that one case focuses on the taxes of Jennifer Siebel Newsom, the governor’s wife, while another case is linked to the governor’s ex-chief of staff, Dana Williamson, who pleaded guilty last month to conspiracy to commit bank and wire fraud, subscribing to a false tax return, and making false statements.

The governor slammed President Trump and called the probes politically weaponized.

“In recent days, federal agents have knocked on the doors of family, friends, and former employees, not because they found a crime, because they’re simply trying to find one,” Newsom said in a pre-recorded statement Monday.

Siebel Newsom also lashed out at Trump, saying the president has “no boundaries.”

The cases are being handled out of the US Attorney’s Office for the Eastern District of California.

“Donald Trump picked the wrong target. We have nothing to hide.”

CANOGA PARK, LOS ANGELES — A tragic incident has sparked calls for transparency as activists urge the release of police body camera footage following the fatal shooting of a woman’s dog during a celebration for the New York Knicks’ NBA championship in Los Angeles.

On Tuesday morning, representatives from the LA National Action Network convened outside the Los Angeles Police Department’s main office, pressing for the disclosure of the officers’ identities involved in the incident.

“Jameson’s death was both tragic and avoidable,” declared Najee Ali, a leading organizer with the Los Angeles National Action Network. “We insist on immediate accountability, which begins with the swift release of the body camera recordings and the identities of the officers who shot Jameson. The public deserves clarity, and the family deserves closure.”

The unfortunate event occurred on Saturday after police responded to reports of a woman yelling inside a condominium on Jordan Avenue. Witness accounts reveal that the woman was celebrating the Knicks’ victory at the time.

A heartbreaking image taken shortly before the dog’s death captures Jameson sporting a Knicks jersey, further emphasizing the somber nature of the celebration turned tragic.

Activists said the release of body camera footage and the identification of the officers involved are necessary to provide transparency in the case.

Video shows emotional aftermath

In cellphone video from the condo building obtained by ABC LA, a woman can be heard crying.

“Oh my god! Oh my God,” a woman cried. “I cannot believe this is happening. I cannot believe this is happening.”

“We were just so happy. We were just so happy. We were just celebrating the Knicks. We were f—— celebrating the Knicks,” the woman screamed.

Raymon Alvarez, who lives across the street, said he heard the screaming while heading out for a walk.

“The screaming I heard was like, ‘Ah! Oh my God! Oh my God!’ Like just, pure screaming,” Alvarez said.

When he returned home, he said he heard gunfire.

“I didn’t think they were gunshots at first because this area is not really known for any sort of gun violence,” Alvarez said.

The dog owner’s son said off-camera that his mother had simply been celebrating the Knicks’ championship win and that Jameson was energetic but not violent.

“He’s such a good dog!” the woman can be heard screaming in the video from the scene.

Now, a memorial is growing in the hallway where neighbors watched Jameson die.

The neighbor who called police said off-camera that they they feel guilty for calling 911, but sincerely thought their neighbor was in trouble.

The circumstances that led up to the police shooting are under review.
