It was a terrorist attack perpetrated by home grown terrorists, supported and coddled by politicians and liberals wanting votes. They have been made to believe their crimes are excusable because their ancestors were slaves. So a little child is without a mother tonight so a pig politician can be re-elected and continue the cycle of race-baiting, murder, and re-election.

Yes, I do take your point.

I am reminded of a conversation I had in England, with a Royal Marine who was annoyed by a statement by a clergyman, who "forgave" a group of men who broke into his house, and raped his daughter.

"Her father!" he said, "the GodBotherer. [An English slang term]. Saying that he would forgive them and they would have a place in his heart. I'd find a place for them! In the cellar ... under the floor ..."

This is the reason they buried Lincoln in a steel cage under 3 tons of concrete.

Oh, they will be heralded for killing whitey. Whitey will be picking up the tab for 3 sq., cot, medical, education, etc. while these 2 POS wait to game the system (if parole is available); else until they rot and die (writing books/etc. for the sicko groupies and the never ending ‘whitey made ‘em do it!’ ghetto response)....while being converted to Islam behind bars.

Hanging in the town square should be brought back.

“Fox News covered this story, but of course CNN, not a peep.”

This is true, but too many Fox News commentators, including Judge Jeannine were inferring it was the husband that most likely did it, saying he was acting strangely and too chipper when talking about his wife’s demise (he’s a Christian pastor).

Insufficient evidence which is why they were not charged. I SUSPECT given previous attacks by these clowns that she was raped.

Pic looks like there is a security sign in front yard. It may be why they were looking for an unlocked door. Circumstances were odd so of course first place you look is the husband

That was after he was stolen from his original crypt. I visited his burial site and also saw the original crypt.

Its common for most people to suspect the husband when a wife is murdered(Laci Peterson) the husband did have an alibi but I think most prosecutors look at cases like this and say “Well, he could have hired a hitman to do it” but the second that it came out that the woman was raped, no way would a husband hire someone to rape his pregnant wife and there were other robberies in the area right before this happened

According to Fox59, the rape charge was from a previous robbery/rape.

http://fox59.com/2015/11/23/impd-makes-arrests-in-amanda-blackburn-case/

NDIANAPOLIS (November 23, 2015) – Two men have been charged in the murder of Amanda Blackburn, a pastor’s pregnant wife who was shot during a home invasion robbery on Nov. 10.

In a press conference Monday, Prosecutor Terry Curry announced 18-year-old Larry Jo Taylor, Jr. and 21-year-old Jalen Watson were charged with murder in connection with the investigation.

Sources confirmed to FOX59 early Monday morning the two men, and a possible third man, will also be charged in three additional burglaries, including a rape at the Westlake Apartments.

Taylor has been charged with felony murder, three counts of burglary, three counts of theft, robbery resulting in serious bodily injury, criminal confinement, auto theft and carrying a handgun without a license. Watson has been charged with murder, three counts of burglary, three counts of theft, robbery resulting in serious bodily injury and auto theft.

According to court documents, Taylor and Watson–as well as a third man–are accused of entering Blackburn’s home on the morning of Nov. 10 in addition to two other burglaries in the area. Sources confirmed to FOX59 the third man is 24-year-old Diano Gordan, who is being held on a parole violation.

Taylor, who was previously taken into custody and released, was arrested again Sunday night at a relative’s home, according to police.

Authorities said the men referred to themselves as “The Kill Gang.”

The three men allegedly committed two burglaries before entering the Blackburn residence. Authorities said a car was stolen during the first burglary. The second burglary happened at a home near Blackburn’s home. Detectives believe the men entered the Blackburn home through the front door, which was unlocked.

Watson and Gordan left Blackburn’s home with her credit card to drive to an ATM. According to officials, Taylor stayed out the house and was later picked up by the other two men. Taylor is alleged to have admitted to witnesses he killed Amanda, who was home with her 1-year-old son. She was 12 weeks pregnant when she was killed. Her cause of death was determined to be a gunshot wound to the back of the head. She was also shot in the left arm and upper back, said police.

Her husband, Pastor Davey Blackburn, discovered his wife’s body after returning home from the gym that morning.

Police recovered the stolen vehicle in one of the robberies the next day. ATM receipts were found in the vehicle and detectives also gathered evidence linking the suspects to the use of Blackburn’s credit card. A gun was also recovered in a neighbor’s yard.

“We appreciate the work of IMPD detectives and our law enforcement partners at the Indiana State Police, FBI, and U.S. Marshals Service in identifying those alleged to have committed this tragic murder,” Prosecutor Terry Curry said. “It is important to note the extraordinary assistance that was received from neighbors and members of the community in this case. We encourage anyone in our community who has information about other murders or crime to come forward, contact law enforcement, and assist us in identifying those responsible.”

Detectives have collected evidence linking the trio to a previous rape and robbery at the Westlake Apartments, where the suspects were living until early November, sources say. The men then moved to an address on San Clemente Drive, where detectives believe two of the suspects were captured on a surveillance video burglarizing a neighbor’s apartment. A silver Chrysler Sebring was stolen from that location. Investigators later found DNA linking the suspects to that case.

Thank you.

Here is the statement I was thinking of that the husband put out the day after the murder. I hadn't much of todays coverage yet when I posted.

"It's impossible to communicate all the emotions my heart has been forced to process. My wife was such a beautiful, gracious, loving woman of God. I have not only lost my ministry partner and support but also my very best friend. There is no way to prepare yourself for circumstances like these. As deeply as I am hurting I am hopeful and confident that good things will come of this. I rest in the truth of Romans 8:28 that God works all things together for the good of those who love Him and who are called according to His purpose.

"Thank you for understanding my desire to take these next few days to continue to grieve for Amanda Grace. My focus right now is to let The Lord minister to my heart as I continue to shepherd little Weston’s. I'll be taking this time to focus on being a great follower of Jesus, dad, family member, and pastor to our growing church. Amanda made it her life's calling to love and serve everyone she knew. Even more, she has made it her life's mission to see as many people as possible come to know Jesus as their personal Savior. I know that in her death and legacy even more people will come to a saving faith in Christ. I know beyond a shadow of a doubt her desire for me would be to continue what we've started here in Indy. I hold firm to the belief that God is still good, that He takes our tragedy and turns it into triumph, and that the best truly is yet to come."

First proof above any reasonable doubt that they have done the crime and then stand them against a wall and kill those bastards, instead of keeping them in jail for the next ten years, with one appeal after another and may be due that they were teens at the time get them out on reduced time. When you breed animals you have to expect that they will behave as such and socialism plays a good part in it.
