Austin Metcalf’s Dad Trashes ‘Protect White Americans’ Protesters Who Held Rally for Slain Teen

Jared Downing, New York Post, April 19, 2025

The father of slain teen Austin Metcalf slammed protesters who held a rally against his son’s accused killer, calling them “race baiters” who “wanna spew their narrative for their own agenda.”

The dad, Jeff Metcalf, spoke to The Post on Saturday, hours after a group of demonstrators gathered at the stadium where Karmelo Anthony, 17, allegedly stabbed Austin Metcalf, also 17, in the heart at a high school track meet in Frisco, Texas.

Organizers from a group called “Protect White Americans” condemned local authorities for supporting what they called “anti-white hate” and “anti-white violence” by releasing Anthony, who is black, on bond.

“That’s all they are: Race baiters,” Jeff Metcalf told The Post. “F—ing people that wanna spew their narrative for their own agenda. They don’t give a shit about my family. … about Karmelo Anthony’s family.”

Metcalf said Lang invited him to speak at Saturday’s rally, trying to win him over with statistics about black violence and “white lives matter” rhetoric.

“‘I said, ‘You, sir, are part of the f—ing problem. {snip}’” Metcalf said.

He demanded that Lang remove photos of his son from the Protect White Americans website and event flyers, and he plans to complain to the school board for granting protesters access to the stadium parking lot.

“I want [the superintendent] to explain to me how you let this white piece of trash on school property where my son was murdered less than two weeks ago.”
