OK, so let's create a level playing field here. I have not even heard of this on CBS, ABC, NBC or any of the cable news services, even FOX NEWS. OR in any of the Newsrags or other publications. Read this and weep.

Bet you $20 you did not hear this on the national news.

The animals pictured below car-jacked, then raped Christopher Newsom, cut off his penis, then set him on fire and fatally shot him several times while they forced his girlfriend, Channon Christian, to watch. An even more cruel fate awaited her!

Channon Christian, was beaten and gang-raped in many ways for four days by all of them, while they took turns urinating on her. Then they cut off her breast and put chemicals in her mouth ... and then murdered her.

Where be the Revs Al and Jesse? Are they providing counsel and help to the families of the victims?

Of course not - the victims were white

Why hasn't this received National coverage by the news media like the Duke "rape" case?

Oh, that's right - the victims were white

Why hasn't the NAACP, ACLU, New York Times etc, called for an investigation?

Must be cause the victims were white

Why hasn't the FBI been called in to investigate this as a hate crime?
Oh, that's right - the victims were white.

“If the press refuses to cover black-on-white crimes because they fear it would encourage white extremists, then why do they report white-on-black crimes (even dubious ones) with such gusto?”

Well, for one thing, there are far, far more black-on-white crimes. If you’re going for a sell, it’s hard to pump the same line over and over again. That on top of the fact that our weakling society has created a PC system whereby it’s only appropriate to attack whites (and whites just play right along).

When did I say American women are weak?
Do I have to watch old Nazi films to know about the horrors of the Holocaust?Do I have to watch slasher flicks to “appreciate”the brutality of the Night Stalker?

The only thing you feel bubbling beneath the surface is a disdain for our media and the lies they tell. :)

[Earthdweller]

Yes and yes.

[Earthdweller]

May I add...it only takes once for each. That is usually enough.

Scary story you portray from your classes.My theory is blacks hate EACH OTHER way more than they hate Whitey,The Jews or”the System”.And,as you point out,lots of that hate comes under the category of colorism,where dark skinned blacks hate the lighter ones.Yet mostly its just jealousy because its well known that light skinned blacks get most of the”props”in black culture.
I am in”the hood”most every day and I see it first hand.Mr middle aged white conservatively dressed me gets ignored most of the time.The worst vitriol is reserved for those”niggas”who”ain’t s****”
In their words,not mine.

The only people who want to rub in the nation’s face are people who want blacks to look bad.

Coincidence this gets posted on th 7th anniv. of the Wichita atrocity.

It is of small comfort that apparently the earlier reports about these victims getting mutilated, and the girl held captive for days were incorrect. Still you can only imagine the firestorm that would have followed were the races reversed.

As with Wichita, you have to wonder if these were just robberies/carjackings gone bad, as the local authorities like to claim, what exactly sets off these savages to make them rape, beat, and terrorize their victims?? It just sickens me. And Heaven forbid the “news” media give the proper coverage to these stories so potential victims can try to take better precautions or stay out of harm’s way.

If I’m not mistaken the prosecutor in this case is not going to charge the defendants with a hate crime charge because they were friends with some white people.

They don't need to be charged with a hate crime. Murder with the addition of rape should be a capitol offense already. We just need to convict them of what they clearly did and fry them as quickly as possible.

I can think of one: many many many murders happen every day in this country that don’t get national coverage. The vast majority of murders NEVER get ANY national coverage. The question isn’t why is this one ignored, the question is what in the hell is wrong with our country that causes ANY of them to get national coverage. The blood lust that causes us to national publicize local stories, that causes us to make any random murder news at all, is really a pathetic disgusting national sickness.

[Riverman94610]

Well,I disagree.I read the book about Richard Ramirez and that was shocking enough.And reading Scourage of the Swastika in Seventh Grade gave me plenty of insight into Nazi war crimes and concentration camps.
I did not need to see it all displayed in bloody Technicolor.

Remember this outrage; it was New Year's Eve, I think. . .Have wondered since; 'what happened'. . .I know what happened and 'why' to the MSM coverage. . .but beyond that? Where did 'O'Reilly' go on this one. . .Sean - and Alan. . .What about GRETA? What about the Congresscritters in Tennessee?

The pain and suffering; the degradation; the hideousnous of this crime begs for more light - more Justice, on behalf of these two victims - and all who knew and loved them. This 'evil'; demands more redress; on behalf of all good people.

And for certain; Al Sharpton deserves to be heard. . .'O'Reilly' we know, has his number. . .

[Riverman94610]

The media is a BUSINESS.Its job is to get ratings so as to insure more advertising money.
Yet much of it is OUR fault.Picture yourself in nearly any American social setting.Two TVs on.One is a news story about the latest Free Trade agreement debate.The other headlines a story about a pack of wild elephants stomping through an Indian village,killing dozens.Live pictures next.
Guess which TV nearly everyone will cluster around?

It would just give people the wrong idea about black people. Someone might think they are responsible for most of the violent crime or that black on White crime is a common thing. We must not forget that blacks are always the victim. No matter what. Always the victim.

It’s troubling but true. In the final analysis, the people are the law.
