"For at least a week, authorities say, a young black woman was held captive in a mobile home, forced to eat animal waste, stabbed, choked and repeatedly sexually abused — all while being peppered with a racial slur."

Take a guess what the AP considers the worst offense.

Senator Byrd’s fault?

Pictured on Tuesday, Sept. 11, 2007, is the mobile home, left, and tool shed at Big Creek, W.Va., where authorities say 20-year-old Charleston, W.Va., resident Megan Williams, a black woman, was allegedly abducted, held captive for at least a week and tortured by six white individuals from Logan County, W.Va. Authorities said Tuesday they are considering hate crime charges in the woman's case. They are investigating the possibility that she was lured by a man she met on the Internet.

"...could face federal hate crime charges..."

Murder of Channon Christian and Christopher Newsom

"..Police Chief Sterling Owen IV said that there is no indication the crimes were racially motivated, and that the murders and assault "appears to have been a random violent act."[16] "There is absolutely no proof of a hate crime," said John Gill, special counsel to Knox County District Atty. Randy Nichols. "We know from our investigation that the people charged in this case were friends with white people, socialized with white people, dated white people. So not only is there no evidence of any racial animus, there's evidence to the contrary." [17] Some commentators, including Newsom's parents, disagree, claiming that such a crime would require a motive of racial hate. [17].."

Isn’t that Den. Robert Byrd’s territory, ex Keeglre of the Klan?

I hereby bet my life that this story will get more traction than Wichita or Knoxville. i thought West Virginia was pretty much crackerland

The woman was forced to eat rat and dog feces and drink from a toilet, according to the criminal complaint filed in magistrate court based on what the suspects told deputies. She also had been choked with a cord, it alleges. Deputies say the woman was also doused with hot water while being sexually assaulted.

The arrested suspects actually told the deputies that they forced the victim to eat rat crap and dog feces? If true, they are demented monsters, but we need more information here.

[Ciexyz]

I wonder why the woman was driven to this rural home in the first place. More info needed on the total picture. Drugs and prostitution maybe? In any case, the perps will go thru hell when they go to prison.

Authorities believe racism played role in ordeal

Nothing against WV (never been there), but in 2003 a pastor from the state came by to the church i used to go to for some mission-oriented thing, and while there were some people from my church going there he told me it wouldn’t be prudent for me to go there. Why? Well, he said that even in his Church there were some people who ‘still believed in the old ways.’ That pretty much sealed that area for me.

God bless the victim of this vile sick evil set of crimes. May she recover with the love of God and His angels.

[Maelstorm]

This is horrible. This isn’t unique to West Virginia though. Horrors occur everywhere. Let us not forget the mother and two girls who were raped and then burned alive in CT. Most West Virginians are independent minded, friendly, and Patriotic. This group of people do not represent the norm.

Yikes! Those mug shots look like photos of the worst inmates at a hospital for the mentally insane.

Is there any chance that the plastics chipper in Saddam’s pleasure palace is still operational? Any chance we might be able to borrow it for a while?

A fitting punishment for these animals would be for them to get dropped off in the middle of the night in Harlem, with prior announcement of their arrival of course.
