The Death of Jesse Dirkhising Ignored by the Media Not A Hate Crime By Joseph Farah / WorldNetDaily.com His parents thought he was working as a hair stylist on weekends. But when Prairie Grove, Ark., police responded to a 911 emergency call at 5 a.m. Sept. 26, they found 13-year-old Jesse Dirkhising on the floor, unconscious, near death, one of his wrists bound with duct tape. A half-hour later, he was pronounced dead at St. Mary's Hospital in Roger. A police investigation determined young Jesse was repeatedly raped over a period of hours, including with foreign objects. While enduring this ordeal, his ankles, knees and wrists were bound in duct tape and he was gagged and blindfolded. He was tied to a mattress. He may have been drugged, police say. A sedative called amitryptiline was found in the home of two men -- Joshua Brown, 22, and David Don Carpenter, 38 -- along with Jesse's body. Just another brutal local crime, you say? Why is Farah recounting a police blotter story from Arkansas? I don't know. Something bothers me about this story. It ought to bother us. It was big news in Northwest Arkansas, but the story of Jesse Dirkhising hasn't made a ripple in the national news. I wonder why? I wonder if it's because the victim is not a part of some politically protected sub-group, a special class deserving of extra government privileges? I wonder if it is because the suspects are, indeed, members of such a group. Remember how the nation stood riveted to the details of a hideous murder that took place in Wyoming when a homosexual was tortured to death? Never mind that the crime had little or nothing to do with the victim's sexual proclivities. Uh-uh. That didn't matter.

Newsflash: a lot of horrible crimes are ignored by the MSM.
A lot of us haven't forgotten.
And Hurricane Rita didn't make much news compared to Hurricane Katrina, because Rita victims cleaned up, fixed up, repaired things themselves and didn't just sit around and blame Bush and didn't chant WE NEED HELP 24/7. The only things that make MSM news are the stories that BLAME BUSH and Conservatives, or are PC!
Lots of gays in the MSM.
Do you reckon the day will come when juries that covict scum like those who did this will be charged with hate crimes themselves???
Could be because it happened in 1999. I remember coverage of the crime. Pity the date wasn't listed near the top of the story.
This is an old story. It was covered then, and continues to be covered on the web.
A 13-year old hair stylist?
And the aiders, abettors and enablers of the homosexuals and their agenda don't want us to know.
The MSM are worse than worthless, they are in bed with every evil that threatens the survival civilization.
And maine just rewarded them with special rights, now do you understand my screen name. maybe it should ahve been: John_baldacci_is_a_Radical_left_wing_homsexual_adoring_commie_Society_wrecking_piece_of_garbage
Gay media covered this case like crazy. And no, they didn't high-five each other over killing little straight kids. Their mission is to convert them, remember? :P
This young boy was abandoned by his mother and his step-father who approved of his weekend visits to the gay men. His death is on their hands as well.
Another one for me was a brutal hate crime that was never designated as such......why?......guess it had to be due to the fact the two perps were black males who assaulted several white young adults. It was in a FR thread called "Wichita Massacre" and as far as I know it was never a major news story nationally even though it was about as bad as it gets.
This story is over six years old. It isn't so much "ignored" as rather stale by now.
Yeah Anderson Cooper for one.
