Popular Twitch streamer BruceDropEmOff has sparked outrage online after publicly supporting Karmelo Anthony, a 19-year-old convicted of murdering Texas student Austin Metcalf.
Anthony was sentenced to 35 years in prison on June 9 for the fatal stabbing during a high school track meet in Frisco, Texas, in April 2025.
Despite facing criticism, BruceDropEmOff doubled down on his support for Anthony, claiming that racial bias played a role in the sentencing and that 'racism is very much alive.'
The streamer argued that Anthony acted in self-defense during the confrontation, which began after he entered another school's tent during rain at the track meet.
Prosecutors alleged that Anthony escalated the situation and warned Metcalf before stabbing him with a knife.
