As far as the murder of Channon and Christopher, I guess getting burned alive or gang raped doesn’t meet the criteria for “torture”. I read about a parliament member in Britain who was driven from his seat because he pursued justice for a white kid who was burned alive by a Muslim. It’s definitely a double-standard. I still feel sorry for the girl, though.

They could be on Oxycoton, too.

So do I and what happened to her definitely is a hate crime, but so was the other. Another example is the Matthew Shepard case with its massive publicity as contrasted with the torture death of Jesse Dirkhising at about the same time.

Jesse Dirkhising

Only protected groups can be victims of hate crimes in the view of the media and apparently most prosecutors.

Take a guess what the AP considers the worst offense.

Oh. My. God. You mean those depraved animals called Miss Williams a (*gasp*) REPUBLICAN?!!?!?

Ohhhhh the HORROR!

Note the AP will never question the political climate of a state that elects a former high-ranking Klansman to the U.S. Senate... of course, if this was South Carolina, Texas or Mississippi (with GOP Senators and Governors), well you remember the political lynching they did to Dubya when that Black guy was dragged behind a truck.

You are 100 percent absolutely right.

I commented in another thread about this crime that there were no political ramifications, because depraved animals exist in both political parties, but that doesn’t mean there isn’t an institutional bias in lamestream media when covering such stories. If perchance, Robert KKK Byrd was a Republican, you can bet the media would be playing up the ‘Grand Kleagle’ angle 24/7 regarding the horrifying assault on this girl.

A fitting punishment for these animals would be for them to get dropped off in the middle of the night in Harlem, with prior announcement of their arrival of course.

"They could be on Oxycoton, too."

Doubtful. For one, Oxycontin is way to expensive for those types, and it tends to make the end user somewhat happy and mellowed out.

True, Oxycoton makes sense. I just think meth or crack because of the sunken look to the faces. I hadn’t even thought of oxycoton. Really horrible things to have done no matter what they were on. I doubt this girl would be alive except for the tip call.

I live about fifty miles from where the crime occurred.That part of the state is infested with both Oxycontin and meth users. The newspaper is forever reporting meth lab blow-ups.

It really is a shame that a whole family could be such monsters. I truly hope there aren’t children in this clan. Prayers for the victim & her family.

"I don't understand a human being doing another human being the way they did my daughter,"

It's called "original sin". Or "total depravity" (if your theology turns that way). Cases like this illustrate the truth of that doctrine. Humans, bereft of Grace, are capable of far worse than bestial behaviour. Man, made in the "image and likeness of God" and "little less than the angels", with the aid of Grace is capable of great holiness and virtue. When Man turns from Grace, the result is demonic. As in this case.

The case is "something that would have come out of a horror movie," Logan County Sheriff W.E. Hunter said.

Sheesh. I can hear "Dueling Banjos" in the background.

“Exactly. I hear the worst ignorant crap from people who think they are better than people who live in the country. Where I come from people build their own houses, grow their own vegetables, and raise their own chickens and beef. “

Yes...I live in dairy farm country.

Unfortuately the meth-heads have decided that moving out to the country is a good way to evade police.
They were wrong, the police find them out here just the same, because families like us who lived here first are quite aware of what they are cooking in their back shed.

These bozos have meth written all over them.

exactly...and meth would explain why they didn’t lose interest in their entertaining activities even after a week.
Some meth-heads have reported going days without wanting to sleep.
