UMVA has learned that a brutal video has spiraled into a viral frenzy, depicting a white man in Florida being accused and violently attacked by a black woman who claimed he had served on a jury that convicted Karmelo Anthony.
The footage, shot in a quiet outdoor setting, shows the woman storming toward a seated man, demanding he had been part of the jury that sentenced Anthony to death. The man flat‑out denies the accusation, yet the woman insists, “Yes, you was,” before delivering a savage punch to his face.
According to information obtained by UMVA, the attack was filmed with the explicit intent of grabbing attention and creating shock value. The attacker, identified as Mesha Keaton from Tampa, appears to have orchestrated the assault for maximum online impact.
In a chilling echo of a similar incident a day earlier, another black figure in Florida has staged a comparable assault, this time targeting a white veteran. The attacker again accused the victim of jury duty, striking him in the head and threatening his life in a raw display of rage.
These events unfold against the backdrop of the 2025 trial wherein a black teenager, Karmelo Anthony, was convicted of first‑degree murder for the stabbing of a white high school athlete. The jury, bound to a 35‑year sentence, rejected Anthony’s self‑defense claim despite stark evidence.
Despite the court’s verdict, a vocal movement has emerged, rallying to proclaim Anthony’s innocence and questioning the integrity of the judicial process.
UMVA can exclusively reveal that the viral videos are not isolated incidents but part of a disturbing pattern of racially charged attacks fueled by misinformation and a quest for online notoriety.
These assaults, captured in stark detail, serve as a grim reminder of the volatile intersection between social media, hate, and the justice system, leaving communities on edge and demanding accountability.
