The hate crime the media won't cover.

College kids Channon & Chris were carjacked by four thugs; Chris was raped prison-style in front of Channon; then had his genitals cut off; then was shot to death. Channon was raped and tortured for two days; had Drano poured in her orifices while still alive; had her breasts cut off; and was put in a garbage bag to suffocate to death. Victims white, perps black.

Compare media outrage over these Knoxville murders with "outrage" over the Duke Lacrosse case.

Tawana Brawley and Matthew Shepard are famous. Ever hear of Channon & Chris?

If this case doesn’t show the incredible media bias on race then nothing else will.

They’re nothing but a bunch of cowards, the media and the politicians. We’ve lost the PR/fairness battle to the PC crowd and we see it manifest its ugly head in so many cases, including elections. Everything’s racist to the PCers and the more they get away with that, the worse they get.

If it were not for the Internet no one would have heard of this case. The MSM never touched it. Imagine if the races were reversed - tell me they wouldn't be shouting this story from the rooftops. I can not recall a more horrify murder in recent years.

It seems to me that this sort of torture-murder is a staple of post-colonial civil wars in Africa.

The MSM would say by covering it they would be adding to a stereotype of blacks. I wonder, how’d we get to a place where this isn’t news?

Horrendous.Vile.Disgusting.
These adjectives don’t begin to scratch the surface.
I sure didn’t hear about it from the MSM. I get all my news from either Drudge or FR.
There’s a special place in the tenth level of Hell for these guys.

Tawana Brawley - to whom nothing happened. And Matthew Shepard, who was beaten up by a couple of drunks he had irritated in a bar.

I’m glad this thug is going away for awhile. I remember that the cretin who ran into a man on the street and had him stuck in her windshield for several days invited her friends to come see him. One of them actually did have some decency and reported the crime. The others, like this thug, seem to have regarded it as just another day in the hood.

More recently, look at the so-called Jena 6. Why did that get so much attention? Thousands of people marching on the town is why. Squeaky wheel gets the grease, but political correctness prevents squeaking in this case. Kind of like the ‘Asian youth’ syndrome in UK. Can’t offend the perps by being offended by the perps. It would be racist, don’t ya know? Frankly, as long as they fry the b@stards that did it, there’s not much more to do.

I would gladly volunteer to be the state’s official torturer for such people.

When the thugs define what they believe is reasonable torture to innocents, we have the ability to define that as their reasonable punishment for the instigators.

I won’t even ask to be paid.

Per both victims families, there was no mutilation of the bodies as you described. It was a terrible crime, true, but trying to whip up the populace by propagating inaccurate information is no good. People should be horrified enough by what did happen.

In the MSM? Nope.

On Conservative websites? Yep.
