Thanks posting what really happened on this terrible Hate Crime.

Out here in Kali land. This is the typical two step Bravo Sierra by our left winged mediots.

Step One in the Mediot Bravo Sierra Tango: A PC critter gets beat up, sliced up, shot or worse. Immediately it is like all of those burning black churches during the Clintoon time. Evil White Conservatives committed this Hate Crime.

Step two of the Mediot Bravo Sierra Tango: A few days or weeks later, the fish wraps prints a very small article hidden in section Z, that someone of the same race or in SF same homosexual gender abused someone or decided to enact a little justice on a clymer who needed. Suddenly it is no longer a hate crime or barely a crime if the person was not killed.

Cancel subscriptions to all left wing fish wraps and send the savings to Free Republic. Then you will find the truth, not the left wing agenda posing as a Hate Crime!

Girlfriend charged in stabbing of Mississippi man

The Associated Press
6/13/02 9:02 AM

CARROLLTON, Ala. (AP) -- Authorities arrested the girlfriend of a Mississippi man who was seriously injured in what was originally being investigated as a group attack and possible hate crime.

Rodney Outlaw, 25, of Macon, Miss. is being treated at DCH Regional Medical Center in Tuscaloosa with severe wounds to his buttocks, rectum and arms.

Investigators had speculated the victim being dragged behind a vehicle was one possible explanation for the injuries sustained, Pickens County Sheriff David Abston said.

A hate crime against the black man was still being considered a possibility before Outlaw changed his story Wednesday afternoon, said District Attorney Chris McCool.

McCool said sheriff's deputies arrested Kimberly Y. King, 26, at her home in an Aliceville housing project about 6 p.m. Wednesday, while she was being interviewed by a television news crew.

"This ain't right," she said as she was led away in handcuffs.

She was being held at the Pickens County Jail on a charge of attempted murder, but a bond hearing had not been scheduled, The Birmingham News reported in Thursday editions.

"There may have been other people involved," McCool said. "It's been a big mystery until he was able to tell us what happened. That is what broke the case."

After going to a Mississippi nightclub, the couple left in separate cars, McCool said. Outlaw had stopped his car on Alabama 17 near Aliceville in southern Pickens County when King pulled up behind him.

King attacked Outlaw with a knife, slashing his arms and stabbing him repeatedly in the buttocks and rectum, McCool said.

"The wounds were so severe to the buttocks that they are gone," McCool said. "It's pretty bad." Outlaw was able to drive his car nine miles on the rural road before collapsing in front of a home in Sumter County, where police and paramedics picked him up two hours later, The Tuscaloosa News reported.

King had previously told authorities she had not seen Outlaw after the two left the nightclub at 1:30 a.m. Sunday.

King had attempted to get child support in 2000 from Outlaw but the case had been dismissed, according to court records

King is charged with attempted murder in connection with a knife attack on her boyfriend, Rodney Outlaw, authorities said. Outlaw received severe injuries to his buttocks and arms.

Another example of why we need gun control. Because if guns were outlawed, Outlaw would have had a gun, and he could have defended himself!

this does indeed sound like a hate crime, it is just not racially motivated.... perhaps a gender hate crime bill is necessary...

You absolutely right! Us males are definitely in the minority.

We need to be a protected class.

It's funny that the media would publish a story in anticipation that the sole "motivation" for an assault was someone's race.

I wonder if this story will continue in the national press through the trial and sentencing stage.

If it had been a boyfriend dragging and stabbing his girlfriend the media could have still held it up as an "extreme" example of misogyny/battered woman syndrome.

Someone get the activists out the of the newsroom now.

Some journalist must have seen something in the police report about the victim's rear end and extrapolated.

The homosexual from Birmingham who went to Michigan and was castrated could have also been a "hate crime" except he deliberately went to Michigan for that purpose having contacted someone that he met on the internet.

Funny and sickening, actually.

I wonder if this story will continue in the national press through the trial and sentencing stage.

My guess is that it will die away to all except those who live near the area.

If it had been a boyfriend dragging and stabbing his girlfriend the media could have still held it up as an "extreme" example of misogyny/battered woman syndrome.

How true. I wonder how they might have portrayed it had the girlfriend been white.

That's one reason why I like print media. It forces them to put ink to paper and commit to a story.

When they wind up with mud on their face (from a serious factual error like that magazine article that said that President George W. Bush shared a close connection with Ken Lay because of his ownership of the Houston Astros), it keeps them from changing it online only to say "didn't happen".

Cops: "What happened here, son? Looks like some white boys dragged you behind a truck or sumpm. That what happened, son?"

Outlaw: "Uh...I don't remember. Coulda been."

Media: "A young black man was sodomized with an object and dragged behind a pickup truck in Alabama yesterday in what officials are calling a 'hate crime.' Black community leaders express outrage at this latest demonstration of rampant racism and demand reparations. A protest march is planned for Saturday."

This is what happens when our "objective" media makes ASSUMPTION from conjecture, rather then reporting objectively.

Heck, the phycho-girlfriend is as good or better a story than the hate-crime stories anyway.
