Karmelo Anthony's Family Made $500k off Metcalf's Murder & Bought New House

the system lets this happen because it's a reward,without spelling it word for word for retarded NPC whites to realize,that indeed killing white people is good and profitable.

now all niggers know that all they have to do is provoke a white person into a minor kerfuffle,kill them,and play the victim for big booocku bucks

also it means they have hard assets you can go after in the civil suit

In Texas you can't go after the place of residence. Same in many other states.

500k

mansion

(((whites)))

That's mansion money in bfe.

In America, black people crowdfund the murder of white people

But will this new mansion be bulletproof? Or their skulls when they leave the new mansion to go buy food?

Also, he's going to jail, what's the point of fighting the case? Let him do his 5 years and you get a house out of it. It's like a winning a fucked up ghetto lottery where the tax payers are off the hook.

It’ll all go towards a legal team. They’re likely going to lose the case

A 10/10 perfect display of Americans' trademark unwarranted confidence.

that's kikes paying bounties for white scalps
blacks with money use their money to escape the ghetto and live in nice white communities away from other niggers

I did not know the judge is black. Was this confirmed?

anon,you and me, everyone here knows you won't do shit,and if you did,kikes would crucify you and niggers would retaliate tenfold on random whites.

In old days animalistic nigger murderers like this would get lynched and made example of.

True justice was always served

The Boondocks sketch will be a reality.

Why would his nigger relatives who just bought a new house give a fuck about lawyers? There's zero legal oversight of all the fraud donation sites. And they wouldn't pay anyway if donors sued. This is literally just a bunch of niggers who hit a small lotto.

Reminder that there is now a bounty on every White man's head.

Yes, 100%

youtu.be/aq_2dP_v7ik

This.
They don't give a fuck about their nigger son. They are going with cheap defense.

Accused teen killer

The list

Checked

Where are the sign-tapper retards? This is the exact opposite of what they said would happen. Instead of 'woke' anti-whiteness being 'put away,' it is being amplified and shoved into young white men's faces much more directly.

Thanks, just donated.

They wild thing is this isn't even hyperbolic. You go to the various comment sections on Twitter and it's all blacks celebrating the murder. They are legit putting a price and lottery on white lives and incenitvizing their murder. You can murder in broad daylight, make up some story that you were the victim, and even if you're guilty your family will be reimbursed. This is nuts.

what are whites gonna do about it?

Gofundme is owned by jews isn't it.

greentexting on twitter

the system

Your government hates you. Whites are cucked faggots may as well be castrated. You keep Vooooooting Jews keep winning. You will never get a candidate who will make any change because elections are 100% controlled by Jews. You can’t even primary without Jew approval.

We are fucked I wish for total violence and decay of this failed experiment

Kill zionists

You can buy a mansion for 250k op

you mean muh fellow huwhites

No money was raised all backers were given refunds, you fucking nigger.

Maybe when the boomers are gone

That's nice. Smart people will use the setup used by the beltway sniper niggers and shoot them in their hooting nigger skulls when they're not expecting it.

Proof

He took care of his family even in the afterlife.
Chuds like you wouldn’t understand.

this dead kids own faggot dad probably gave money

((()))

That nigger and his family will be dead in a couple of weeks. No proof needed, shitskin.

No you won't. Shut the fuck up.

Idk I wouldn’t put it past ‘educated’ blacks to toss money at this kid.

How many white girls are going to go to this guy's house while he's on house arrest?

lying nigger, here's a fresh screencap

that's some incredibly poor foresight.
as soon as he's found guilty of murder
his victim's family is getting a free house.
you can't profit from your crimes.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Son_of_Sam_law

mansion

$500k

Pick one

Beaucoup. The French word you just absolutely butchered is beaucoup and it means "a lot".

they can be on the hook for every penny they earned from the crime.
if they choose not to sell the house, that's on them.
but, they'll still be on the hook.
there is no workaround for profiting from murder.

So the niggers made a new one? They won't be buying shit with it, LMAO! Those niggers will be broken before they get to enjoy any of it. His bond is 1mil, KEK! Needle in the arm for little nigger and his folks hanged in their apartment.

yeah yeah I'm sure you will little buddy hahahahaha

<~~~ Karamellos Dad
ayoo
we movin to the hollywood hills

One of the underrated aspects of Trump attempting to purge the federal bureaucracy is those are basically the gold standard of nigger jobs. Scoring a 120k do-nothing office job for life and buying a home in PG County means you are effectively nigger royalty.

Not from Texas, but I assume it's not like the coasts

She was the judge when I had to go in for jury duty kek

i almost forgot about this… how do you buy mansion with 500k
300-700k gets you a nice large home 2story with a basment but not a mansion you need 1mill for that

COPE. his bond is now $250k which means he only has to pay a bondsman $25k to get out. your revenge fantasy isn't happening either, is it?

agreed, but white people still feel too comfortable and keep lying to themselves about this whole thing,they don't want to lose the bread and circus of this modern, peaceful life.
huh,I always thought it was just some American cereal saying from captain crunch or something

weirdest airduster i've ever seen.

500k

hollywood hills

fuckin lel

They won't get to keep a dimension of that money, nigger. You cant profit off of murder, no matter what nigger told you in the alley behind Wendys while you were sucking his dick for another hit.

Yes, the money will definitely still be collectable after he's convicted. Niggers are known for their good money management.

Shit, you are way off, some fucking liberal cocksucker jew will defend this nigger for free.

You are in a soft race war btw
lawfare from jews and xyz race judge will keep making decisions like this until you realize whats happening

Right, so the niggers will keep all the money. How they will even pay the bills, who knows. The house will likely be foreclosed upon in a year or so, but they're going to party until then.

yea but how do we know the wh*te boy didn't say the n word? his background should be fully investigated for potential crimes before we jump to conclusions. A black man's freedom is at stake here.

Now that kikes/libs are crowdfunding murders and putting a bounty on White heads, it's hard to say it's soft.

Nope. It will all be in escrow until the family takes it all from the niggers. He can't make money on a crime, keep sucking that nigger cock, kike.

negroes don't have a lot of redeeming qualities

i mean, his family can sue them and take the go fund me money

The nigger is probably gonna sue the state for emotional damage as well and get another 10 million.

Some states have carve outs to homestead laws for situations where somebody is intentionally using the law to shelter ill-gotten gains

Someone post the address,
so the house can be burned down
in the middle of the night.

and the vast majority of whites are still living in a fantasy
and those that aren't, probably aren't organized or part of a community

has there ever been a instance of a people so clueless about the genocide happening their own homeland?

Its soft in the sense its an isolated incident that probably will keep happening
Frog boil etc

I have just reported you to Mike Chitwood for trying to dox someone. Enjoy Florida prison in the summer, chud

And how paying with cash work exactly? You just show up with briefcase stuffed with $100 bills? How are you gonna withdraw/deposit that at the bank without raising some major suspicions? Well I guess asking niggers to have a bank account is rayciss and shieet. In 10 years, beaners (cuz whites are pussyfied) are gonna hunt and shot down niggers in public places cuz they might be awash with wads of cash on themselves kek.

its whites

It's Americans

Fuck off back to Reeeeeedit, Nigger McFaggotkike.

its beaucoup fren

hypothetically, in Minecraft, of course

you'll have bamboo splinters being shoved under your fingernails in Guantanamo bay or gang raped in El Salvador of you did that

I'm not even "you won't do shit" posting at you, that's literally what kikes and whites in power will do to you if you touched a single precious nappy nigger hair on the precious apes of the state

black people raise 500k

riiiight

No one ever gets mad about the niggers
The nigger shills will immediately change the conversation so Whites aren’t even talking about blacks anymore when this entire story is because of nigger demons slaughtering white people

You’re all fucking nigger lovers

Like this nigger lover who accuses anyone who’s anti nigger of being jewish

This is the number one tactic of nigger shills
Anytime you start calling niggers out they accuse you of being a jew
Fucking nigger lover

They already bought the house. Lmao believing Texas is so on the ball that they've already moved on any GiveSendGo funds. You live in a completely delusional fantasy world very typical of Whites who believe a mystical cloak of law and order will somehow protect them from a raging mob of niggers that wants to genocide them. Pro-tip: the "law" just people, and many of those people want you and your family subjugated and dead and will do anything to make that happen.

Americans are so quick to call Europeans cucked but I've yet to see a nigger in Europe get 500k and a new mansion after stabbing a white teenager to death.

White Americans are slaughtered like pigs by niggers nonstop, thousands of them every single year.
More white Americans are murdered by niggers every single year than Europeans have been killed in sandnigger terror attacks over the last two decades.

they have been giving all the good white collar gov jobs to nigger for decades, they have tons of money to throw around

meanwhile white men are forced to work low wage low status trade jobs

karlergism moron

I have personally handled all-cash real estate transactions, dude. It's very common in the US.

Do something about it

They were in a rush to convert that money, for sure.

But Americans kill blacks

Dylan Roof
Buffalo shooting
Jacksonville shooting

A white kid videotaped himself shooting niggers in the face in New York
Euromutts would never do something that bold
Your most famous shooter killed other Whites lol

I have an entire list of dead niggers killed by Whites in the US

You pathetic euromutts have never touched a hair on a nigger or shitskin

Im sure another neo nazi book club will suffice or whatever garbage solution identarian groups practice will definitely suffice.
I can't speak in the american context but woaaaw i sure love WN groups being afraid of owning guns or organizing outside of treating the demograpic replacement of our race as a boomer rotary club. Simply put if the allegedly inteligista doesn't try to occupy they system before going full brown shirt mode in certian nations we are going to be on the backfoot

the difference is we are used to it,and have personal firearms and self defense laws,aka some measure of protection

meanwhile this never ever eeeeveer happened in Europe for hundreds of years until recently,and now Europe is utterly infested with savages, with little to no guns or self defense laws

caramellow

such a zesty name

No, they didn't nigger. Let's see a source other than some fag on twitter.

m.youtube.com/watch?v=MU71gsWqdpw

This is some ragebait nigger shit.

Fuck timmy gon do?

That the air duster 15 multiple laser head explosive nigger evaporater. Trust us goys the real racists use blanks

Niggers acquire money for legal defense

They immediately blow it on a house

lmaoooooooo surprise!!!!

Cash doesn’t mean you literally show up with cash, it means you can show enough assets to purchase the house outright, meaning the seller does not have to fear the possibility of the purchaser being unable to secure a loan in the 11th hour and the deal falling through.

$250k

mansion

Come on now

hope they calculated the property taxes correctly

Timmies can't stop losing LMAO

I know lol in Texas too. A mansion is typically defined as 10,000ft or more. With a double egress door.
I'm actually house hunting right now and I'm not looking at anything less than $300k and I am literally and unironically a cleaner

Here's a screen shot if Twitter post so people don't have to click it. Op is a fag.

anyone else find it odd that this is national news? my bet is the (((media))) is trying to rile up the pavement apes to riot if the nigger gets the slammer.

pajeets itt

you literally worship niggers because you are bitterly jealous of whites.

You know they didn't. They'd better pray to lawdy Jesus that the gravy train doesn't stop, because the taxes, fees, utilities, and maintenance on that house are most assuredly going to be more than they think. Hope the roof and HVAC are new lmao.

parents

Oh so when there’s money NOW he has a dad?

Nigger, every fucking article says they're using the money to move. The issue is you, like many, believe the law is somehow self-executing and isn't just a system of individual people. Cuckservatives allowed libs to infiltrate the jewdiciary, DA's offices, etc. over decades because they were busy watching niggerball. They're now surprised when activist judges allow Whites to be literally murdered.

It is actual warfare being carried out against you, and you believe the mystical, magical cloak of law will somehow enforce itself, and magically these funds will be frozen somewhere. You're delusional.

There are still shitlibs in South Africa today who believe the "law" will protect them even as they see their relatives and friends get robbed and murdered, and the state does nothing about it. Some people cannot be brought around to understand reality and maybe deserve to get Darwined.

they were being judged by the content of their character the entire time

You also need a high profile media case tho

summer already?

((()))

Multiple attorneys have already been hired to defend him, and have first claim to that money. The family can drop them and go with someone willing to work for free, but murder cases are complex and can take years, effectively precluding them from working cases that do make income. This could backfire and wind up with the defendant doing serious time and the house getting tied up in the courts too. Assuming this isn’t all simply Twitter ragebait in the first place.

They'll be dead within a year.
Screenshot this.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GiveSendGo
lol, they're christfaggots. OF FUCKING COURSE

This is why justice can no longer work in this country
They 100% operate along racial lines regardless of the situation, it's biological fact

His lawyers just dropped him because they saw the video. This little nigger is gonna have a needle in his arm, and his parents will be left destitute. Screenshot this.

The dems want blood in the streets. They’ll keep carrying this killer on their shoulders for momentum until another pavement ape starts some shit with the cops and dies. Then they’ll have everybody stirred up enough for riots. They want another summer of love so bad.

This 100% ... Now kikes can legally fund violent niggers & go fund me gets to keep kiking

ima faggot

Kill yourself glownigger.
Someone find the address
so this nigger
and his entire family
pay a price.

video

Where's the video?

I think it's leftist bolshevists that prop niggers up more.

They'll be out of there in a year. Hopefully they have another son to go stab another white kid.

Nigger looks homeless before the kikes donated

The judge thinks she is freeing a Kang but she's actually giving him enough rope to hang himself. He's been in trouble before, there's every chance he's going to violate bail conditions.

glownigger calling anyone else a glownigger

you won't do shit,you hope somebody else will for you
they won't
you can't fix this

I distinctly remember this place raising money for Darren Wilson, the white cop who shot the gentle giant, and laughed about all the funny names and comments left on the funding website. Not so funny now, is it?

someone should donate $5 and leave a message like "this will pay for part of an escalade. Perhaps some fluffy dice"

Wasn't he in their tent to steal stuff? That would make a lot more sense of why he was being told to leave and by force other than the black guy just sitting innocently in the wrong seat.

Literally the Houston nigger all over again.

Are you referring to the Shitter post by “Christine”? She later corrected that and said he hired an additional attorney, presumably for the bail hearing.

If the family uses the fundraiser money for a competent legal defense, he might be able to plea for s 5-year sentence or even get acquitted. But if they blow the money on niggershines he could easily wind up doing 20 years hard time.

it's absurd the ways that people can make money in America
like when that TN lady cop sucked off five cops, got fired, sued for like $600k and won

Parents bought new mansion

Damn niggers are so fucking simple they'll probably get wrecked by the property tax later you don't buy a mansion with 500k you invest it in gold or stocks you are sure are sound.
In regards to real estate you could have gotten an apartment building with it and made passive rent income or you could use it to open up a business to generate passive income.
Simple ass niggers.
After they live in it for awhile that mansion is not going to be worth shit.
Just the upkeep alone would cost a ton.

ONE MILLION PAKI SEX SLAVES

release the fucking video

But Americans kill blacks

other way around

maybe a few blue haired whites but definitely the kikes

Only able to be seen by cops and kikes at the moment. I'm sure it'll leak soon.

Nope, try again, nigger.

when you win it's based, but when you lose its cringe,feel silly now?

dindus

upkeep

Kek

It's not "based" to get your jollies from human suffering!

kek

Cursed money. Everyone gets their karma in one form or another.

according to who?
God? the law? your own morality?
your enemies laugh at your suffering,pay them with the same coin,it's the only commerce they understand

Word of advice for my fellow anons- do the following:
Go talk to grandpa, dad, or uncle that was around before, during, and after de-segregation of American schools. Ask them what it was really like.
From my own father, uncle, grandpa, and other older guys that were around then, summarized and generalized:

Niggers had their own schools, and they looked like shit-holes. It wasn't because they were given shit-hole schools- they were given NEW schools, and in less than 5 years they'd turn them into a shit-hole.

Niggers were violent as fuck in their own schools, and when they got to 'white people schools'- they didn't change one bit

Nigger dropouts and failures actually drastically increased as soon as they got into schools with white people. Not long after, school criteria got a lot easier- because niggers weren't capable of learning the way white people are, they had to dumb everything down.

Most niggers couldn't even place in classes with white kids their age, it was very common for niggers that were almost 18 to get placed in 7th grade because they were functionally retarded

Special Ed and Resource Learning (a step down from Special Ed) were overwhelmed by the sheer amount of niggers that fell into those categories

"School security" and "police presence" at schools wasn't a thing until they put niggers in school with whites

Niggers shouldn't be around humans, they should have their own separate and contained schools surrounded by 15-foot walls with razor wire and guard towers, and they should be shackled and chained together when moving from class to eat their porridge and creek water ration at some outdoor slop-trough.

Well that's what I mean the place is going to turn into a total dump within 2 years just as they're out of money from the property tax.
No attempt to generate passive income with it or invest. The only dumber thing they could have bought with it was a ferarri.
It's the thing a child would do with 500k.
I gonna buy a mansion!

Good

this shit is the only good meme coming out of Anon Babble in years at this point.

Well, if you use an escrow you just wire the funds to the escrow company. I have purchased property with just a wire transfer directly to the owners account and transfered the deed with the county. You can either research the deed yourself, or just not buy a quitclaim deed since those are common scams.

Its only outrageous if you're a violent whitey

How come reddlt isn't burning down the city over this? Oh yeah cause they're racists.

Yeah we aren't though, dumb mutt

DAS RITE!!!!! STAY MAD WYPIPO! GIMMIE MOAR REPARATION!

Your grandpas cuck generation tolerated these apes than genocide them

You're anti-white racists.

have sufficient money in bank account to buy house

transfer money for buying house to cashier's check

transfer cashier's check to house seller

house is yours

A "cash" transaction in real estate means that the buyer is buying outright, not that there is physical cash involved.

503267928

absolute tragedy for metcalf family, would have preferred a Ticktock boxing match between two competing niggers where they both ended up in jail for reputational mockery of themselves, that vid capture would have been super legendary. Blaming Biden Trump for this extreme aggression against each other.

I'm talking about pol. Why are you whining about racism? Jesus you're an idiot.

the left are the real fascists!

You repeated the line! Have a (you,).

imagine still having a glowing eye avatar
LMFAO

pure outrage porn.

This. Someone asked for a source atheists the Twitter OP guy responds by referring to “the article”. Problem is, Twitter OP didn’t link to an article. This is a common tactic by Shitter ragebait farmers to get engagement. And the fundraiser pic simply refers to moving, not buying a mansion. Everything is bullshit until supporting evidence is given.

The left are the real racists. We don't hate niggers though. Cuck.

All the replies are coping so hard. Most Whites are far-Left and definitely donated a lot. Leftism is basically a purely White ideology. The only place in the world where Whites are right-wing is on Anon Babble and in the most uneducated impoverished slums.

Rich whites support niggers

Surprise, shitskin. Nice self own.

they raised the goal YET AGAIN

Do the White leftists who donate to this shit even realize how stupid they are?

Seething

And this. All of this is boomer-tier ragebait and probably the only people actually replying to this and believing it are about 60 years old on average. The same kind of people who also believe cuck fetish posting on Twitter is real instead of just freaks circlejerking.

Most Whites are far-Left and definitely donated a lot.

jews aren't white

there are no left wing non kike whites

lmao ok retard

A lot of whites are cucks. Wake up and smell the roses.

I made like a million dollars trading crypto the other year. I bought myself a lambo. I’m now broke.

Bruh

Yeah I actually am a bit seething that my race is full of idiot traitors who willingly finance our destruction

You willingly finance your destruction by not getting an education that puts you into a position of authority, you dumb nigger.

Lmfao @white people

you'd be surprised

No, he's right. Go look at it, all of the donation messages are botted.

Nigga we gonna be rich, gnomesayin

I thought it was all kikes? Idiot

You guys have not seen that it was an excuse for money laundering. Where did the donations come from? Ask yourself that

In AmerikKka you get rewarded for putting crakKka to sleep with money and houses?

This whole story is just rage bait. The real problem are the small hats.

So they sowed the wind and got media attention from ngo bux and are now reaping the whirlwind? This case seems so contrived. If my kid stabbed some kid he didnt know after a 30 second confrontation in the heart at a track meet I would not speak to the media let alone set up a fucking crowd source fund. Who would donate? This is the least organic shit I've ever seen.
Anons need to be looking at this case from a money laundering stand point like we know only fans works.

They bought a McMansion for 250k ?
Is that the story here?

When did I say that, moron?

durrhurr Anon Babble is le one person

End your life

guess I was right when I jokingly posted they'll get a new house and he'll get to go free, I didn't mean it for serious but there you go

Been drinking all day with my 10/10 blonde gf. She is asleep beside me and I just realized she ate all of my Oreos. What do Anon Babble I'm thinking about beating her ass fr

I'm white btw

You've definitely said that before

Do a surprise anal seggs with her

this isn't going to end good...

If my kid stabbed some kid he didnt know after a 30 second confrontation in the heart at a track meet I would not speak to the media let alone set up a fucking crowd source fund.

Well, that's what black people do. They commit crime, and then they rely on the fact that if they scream "I CAYNT BREEV" or something while being arrested, it'll get people worked up and money flowing into their pockets. So they're incentivized to do it.

But also, tons of blacks get arrested for murder or are beaten up during arrest every day. It only becomes the case that some of them, when there are some specific narrative factors to them, can be picked up by the globohomo money people and turned into worldwide news events that get people's money moving out of their pockets, and shift the window on certain narratives.

Black teens kill whites all the time. But THIS SPECIFIC ONE had just the right combination of potentially blurry definitions, no concrete witnesses, and "the narrative" that it could be used to push an agenda that deprioritizes and diminishes the value of white life. And then a bunch of fake money flowing in gets the wheels moving so that real (retarded) people think it's a valid social justice cause, thus causing them to devalue and deprioritize their own white lives.

I could. She is mashochistic and she knows I like hurting her and my dick definitely hurts her ass. Could hold her down and ass-rape her and although she'd bitch I know I'd get away with it. Gotta get rock hard first

He's going to go free, whites will choke on their rage silently, and wake up the next day to go back to working to pay for millions of other Karmelos. Sad! Whites are just ATMs you access with a knife now. I guess I'll start carrying regularly because we've entered a pretty wild place now.

Thankfully the family has reconciled with Jesus so they already have justice. So should you. Jesus saves.

I 100% agree with you ONLY because the race shit is the priority so we all stay divided and keep these massive surge sales on emotional bullshit keeps going. I fucking hate racism. So does the average black guy next to you. But our courts keep it going. Our media keeps it going.

She reduced his bond because $1 million is absurd.

But yes, it's a problem that we've set a precedent that killing white people or being killed by a police officer is the best way to earn money as a black person in this cunt

It’s kikes using the fund to launder money and make it seem like everyone must love niggers xD

trvke, everyone replying saying it's jews are wrong too. It's self hating faggot whites.

what infuriates me is how none of these faggots even know how to spell

I fucking hate racism. So does the average black guy next to you.

Anon, the average black would have no compunction about killing you and taking the money out of your wallet. Literally EVERY SINGLE BLACK PERSON IN AMERICA has a direct immediate relative who is either in prison or a wanted/convicted felon. Your life means nothing to them.

Most Whites are far-Left

Then who elected Trump?

She reduced his bond because $1 million is absurd.

$1M bond is absolutely not fucking absurd for MURDER.

Kikes don't fucking donate you fucking retard

kek. yeah, i have a hard time feeling sorry for any of these victims when it's first and foremost on the family to get justice in these situations, and invariably none of them ever do shit, and more often than not they publicly cuck to the nigger who just killed their family member.

Yeah, there shouldn't have been a bond available at all.

Oh you crying huh lil bitch? Change the race and you’d be saying it was self defense.

you sound like one of those pricks waffling about how a nigger student with a knife at a school track meet is normal, lol, you know damn well if the roles were reversed the white guy would have already been executed and his family sent to super max.

Use lube

After 30 years of media race baiting I see this case as a media gold-mine from which they have been farming emotional clicks with no regard to the zipperering of people's interests and instead have an interest, making them bookoo bux, keeping us at odds. I'm not fatigued by niggers. I'm fatigued that the government and media uses niggers to placate sub-130 iq well-meaning people

it's gonna inspire so many copycats

This is rage bait. Gofund me shut that shit down and reimbursed everyone

Nah dude might as well let this one go, his father already cucked out like a good coon worshipper and Karmelo will go free with a new house and a maxed out doordash account. I might give more of a shit, but I can't abide weak men like his dad using God as a crutch for their own cowardice and inability to act.

Gofundme is owned by jews isn't it.

Yes, they also have their own called GoyFundMe.

beltway snipers

Lol. Weren't they niggers?
Also didn't they only kill less than a dozen then get caught?
Their set-up was dumb and ineffective

probably would have got away with more but they killed a glowie and they don't take that sitting down one of the only times they will do something

Fuck his dad, his dad is irrelevant

As yourself genuinely, who gives a fuck what the dad thinks, it's about your volk

lol assblasted seething faggot pajeet replied to my post, when all i said was the truth.
