Questions Arise Around Austin Metcalf’s Father: Contradictory Actions and a Mysterious Handler
We’ve been closely watching the developments surrounding the tragic passing of Austin Metcalf, and frankly, some of the actions taken by his father, Jeff Metcalf, have raised some serious questions and appear quite headscratching. On one hand, he makes statements that sound very much like a grieving father, which is completely understandable. But then, some of his other actions and decisions make it seem almost like he’s involved in some sort of “controlled opposition” or “op”. We’re not alone in questioning this; people are definitely noticing that something seems a little off.
A key part of this confusion appears to be the presence of a man who seems to be acting as his “handler”. This individual, identified as Bruce C. Carter, is reportedly the head of a PR firm and, in our view, appears to be “coaching” Jeff Metcalf. Carter’s background is also notable; he reportedly spent 18 months in federal prison for weapons charges and has affiliations with groups like “Black Men for Bernie and Trump for urban communities”. He seems to be flanked by this man in everything he does and has been present at numerous events with Jeff Metcalf, including a press conference. Carter is also associated with “Team Black Males Winning,” an initiative based on years of research aiming to address issues among black males aged 12-26.
We’ve seen resurfacing social media posts from Jeff Metcalf, and some are particularly striking. He has posted a Kwanzaa tweet wishing warmth to homes and celebrating principles like unity. More recently, he’s taken to social media platform X (formerly Twitter) and vented frustration, stating the “racial stuff I’ve seen on this site about this is despicable”. He believes the site “has become a low intelligent racist mecca” and feels that “Elon completely demolished this”. Jeff Metcalf insists, “this is not a race issue this is not a black and white issue”. He has also requested that people, particularly “social media warriors” using his son’s passing for political or racial discourse, stop, calling it “disheartening”.
It’s weird because while he says it’s not a race issue, he also seems to be lashing out specifically at people who are covering the story. He’s been quoted calling certain individuals covering this event “white pieces of trash” and “race baiters”. He demanded the superintendent explain how these “white pieces of trash on school property” where his son died were allowed there. This strikes us as odd because there were reportedly individuals at the location who were not white. He seems particularly focused on criticizing “white folks” who are discussing crime statistics or what he perceives as pushing a narrative.
What’s truly confusing is that while he’s vocal about these groups, he apparently hasn’t said anything about members of the black community who are reportedly spreading fake rumors that his son deserved it, laughing about his death, or even donating money saying he got what was coming to him. In fact, concerning Jeff Metcalf himself, there have been rumors circulating online, including on Twitter, claiming he was charged with SA in 2011. We looked into this, and it appears to be fake; we could find no real evidence of this claim, and others have reportedly debunked it. Yet, Jeff Metcalf seems willing to strongly criticize one group while remaining silent about others who are spreading harmful fake news about him and celebrating his son’s death.
We do understand the immense grief he is experiencing. He posted a truly gut-wrenching message to his son on Easter, sharing lyrics from a song that read, “I don’t know why God always takes the good ones first and man I’ve tried strong to carry on but dang this hurts”. He wrote, “I love you Austin happy Easter”. This shows the pain of a grieving father, and we sympathize with that. We also understand he likely wouldn’t want people hosting rallies using his son’s face on websites, which is happening.
However, his immediate reaction of forgiveness within hours of the event, while potentially rooted in faith, contrasts sharply with other family members. Austin’s mother has expressed that she is “so angry” and is “not like their dad” in that regard. Other family members, like Austin’s brother, are also clearly not ready to forgive, stating, “I’m not at that point yet to forgive that kid for what he did to my brother”. They view the dad’s swift forgiveness as “very weird” and “instantly virtue signaling”.
All these elements – the contradictory statements and actions, the focus of his criticism, the lack of comment on others, the presence of a handler with a criminal history, and the difference in reaction compared to the rest of the family – lead us to believe there is something “very weird” and “suspect” going on here. We hope this helps inform you about the situation.
