How about the old apache torture of staking him down and building a fire on his belly?

[backtobasics]

The trial is being streamed live, blogged live, and yet crickets chirp on the MSM concerning this.

The medical examiner is on the stand now, and I dont know how the parents endure this.........I dont know how anyone in that courtroom endures it. Probably does not bother Coggins much.......he’s busy wondering if there are enough gaurds to keep him safe.

[BigCinBigD]

It would only be an appetizer.

Coggins=cobbins

NEVER, EVER get into a car with a kidnapper. You are better off getting shot right then. I tell my children and wife this over and over. NEVER go with them.

The only reason they have for taking you is to do something they are afraid to do right there. If you run, chances are they won’t shoot. If they do shoot, chances are fair that they will miss. If you are shot at the scene, you have a good chance of living. If you go with them, chances are nearly 100% that you will be tortured and killed.

Some statistics on the interracial crimes:
• Blacks are an estimated 39 times more likely to commit a violent crime against a white than vice versa, and 136 times more likely to commit robbery.
• Blacks are 2.25 times more likely to commit officially-designated hate crimes against whites than vice versa.

From The Color of Crime 2005.

Thank you for your support. Your analysis is pretty close. Those who know me know better than to assume my frivolity on an issue such as this.

Here is more of my meaning:

If you had to bet your life on it, who would you guess the perps support, the Democrats or the Republicans? Who do their parents vote for? Their lawyers? Their cellmates?

I make the wacky comment whenever I read an article in which one can be reasonably certain that the people involved are Democrats, supporters of Democrats, and supported by Democrats.

I do this not just on criminal stories, but on other stories of perversion and stupidity. About the kind of people that liberals have an “enlightened understanding” of.

My point being that the Democrat party consists largely of perverts, drug addicts, convicts and assorted criminal types, hippies, the deranged and the stupid, and their enablers. Not that there aren’t wacko Republicans, but that the wacko vote is the core of the Democrats.

Amen.

"I sent the story to Bill OR back in 2007 but can’t remember if he paid much attention to it. His web site isn’t friendly unless one is a premium member."

Eventually someone will get his attention and he will not be able to ignore it.

If he does continue to ignore this story, someone else will cover it on the Internet or in talk radio and O'Reilly will suffer the same fate as the MSM.

Time is on our side.

barely a mention in the national media

Neil Boortz has something on his website about it.

"Neil Boortz has something on his website about it."

Thanks. I like Neil. He was on a panel in Atlanta to discuss Michael Vic last year. He was the only one on that Panel who made sense.

We did not experience this horror.

Let us be circumspect and kind.

[fortunecookie]

I agree. Animals, a clear cut case for the death penalty. Why isn’t the MSM running with this horrific story? It’s reminiscent of the Manson slayings, gruesome beyond belief. I hope they fry.

Three times over the years, I drove 16 yrld male relatives along the path of two crime scenes...#1 & #2 of a teenage couple that were killed.

I would start at #1 and tell them the story while driving the exact path out to a desolate area, ending at a site with two Crosses at #2. It was sobering to them to read the name on each Cross. The couple were their exact age.

I am in Tennessee near Knoxville as I write. It is front page news. A reporter live from the courtroom may be followed at twitter.com/jamiescoop

Let’s see if the lame stream media reports this.

And shall we see if this affects Eric Holder's thinking on "hate crimes"?

But you and I already know the answer to both questions: Not a chance.

[wmileo]

Thanks.

I once considered moving from New Jersey to eastern Tennessee. This case gave me second thoughts.

What are your thoughts about the eastern portion of your state?

[Bronzy]

I love the area and the local people. Many years ago I lived in an east Tennessee town but stayed at home on a resort. After a family death, I had to get out into the community. That was the best thing I had ever done. I found that by staying isolated I had missed much. The locals were kind and trust worthy. Most locals will know someone who can do whatever you need for your home, land or vehicle. East TN is conservative. Al Gore lost TN as did Obama. There is a great opinion piece by Greg Johnson in Wednesday's Knoxville “News Sentinel” titled ‘Obama’s absence at Smokies’ 75th noticed’. Perhaps you can find it on-line. Anyway, Knoxville is a busy city with big city crime. The kids were young college students and probably a target for the killers. An older person may have been armed which would have had a different outcome. I plan a move to an area 30 minutes from Knoxville.
