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.

A couple of years ago, The Philadephia Daily News printed the photos of the most wanted vicious criminals believed to be hiding out in the city. A couple of them were actually identified by readers and captured. A good thing, right? Wrong. A majority of those thugs were black, so the paper was accused of "racism" for publishing the photos. The paper had to apologize, and they pledged never to print the most wanted photos again.

He has the best article about this black on white murder horror show that the media refuses to cover in any meaningful way. It’s tailor made for CourtTV

“I could only use/choose 300 words the rest had to be excepts so I edit!”

What you excerpted AND your headline made it sound like Snopes was agreeing that there was a major MSM conspiracy to keep this out of the news. In fact, Snopes says the opposite. Snopes confirmed the basic events, but went on to point out that the allegation there was a conspiracy is utterly ridiculous.

[Mr. Mojo]

this story needs to be told....over and over.

Indeed it does, if for no other reason than it raises the self-defense awareness of those who may be in a bit of denial about the threats we face daily in this "multicultural tapestry."

We need to see more stories like this ....and this

[gondramB]

The Washington Times did a story about this about a month ago - they said the stories of mutilation are not true and there have been over 45 stories in the local papers about it.

The defense attorney says the false stories are prejudicing the jury pool while the prosecutor (an assistant U.S. attorney) said he would have no public comments but would file a brief in court.

The gang leader is being tried separately because there is a alleged second hand admission from him and because he was not present at the crime. The judge ruled the local publicity does not mean the trial needs to be moved. Both trials are set for summer 2008.

[gondramB]

BTW, that was a long winded way to say that is this case Snopes is not correct. There was a murder but not as described. And without the mutilation its not enough different form the other thousands of brutal murders and rapes that happen each year to stand out.

[Grizzled Bear]

I like your style!

[miliantnutcase]

What?

[sit-rep]

Yep...

And I’ll always remember it...

[Squantos]

Yep..........sad deal indeed !

Stay safe !

[maine-iac7]

I like your user name -

I was born n'raised in the north woods with my grandparents - grampa a Maine Guide - where there were more bear and moose than people.

Then later, after graduating, left the state and lived all over the nation. Took me a quarter century to get smart and move back to the woods - with the better neighbors.

Grizzled Bear just seems like someone who'd not be living in a big 'blue' city?

[puroresu]

The issue here is what the media would have done if the rapists and murderers had been white, and the victims black. Given the top tier, and often over-the-top, coverage the media gave the Duke rape case (where no one was even killed), it’s safe to assume that had the races been reversed in Knoxville, the media would have seared the event into our national consciousness with massive coverage that would be continuing to this day, nearly a year after the event.

bump for publicity...
and credit to Snopes.com for taking the time to verify and publicize
this atrocities/murders.

[restornu]

BTW I gave links to all of these sites in the opening thread!

Snopes did say it was true!

How can the News sources you read be accurate if the autopsy still has NOT been release yet it is Now December?

[restornu]

The crime and the media blackout.

But there are police reports who describe what they saw when they found the bodies!

If your genitals & breast are missing they just didn't fall off!

All four, including Miss Coleman, then engaged in an orgy of rape and violence. They anally gang-raped Mr. Newsom, and orally, anally, and vaginally gang-raped Channon Christian. They brutally beat both victims and poured cleaning fluid down Miss Christian’s throat. They killed Mr. Newsom, leaving him with “multiple gunshot wounds,” and set his corpse on fire. Knoxville police refuse to say how Miss Christian was murdered, but an assistant U.S. attorney suggests she may have been “choked

“The animals pictured below 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!

Thank you for your support with snopes!

When I was in Los Angeles during 1995-2005, the couple that run Snopes.com
were on radio occassionaly (IIRC, “The Mr. KABC Show” on KABC 790AM).

Although I may have not always agreed with their personal viewpoint on
some topics, I did feel they were fairly even-handed and (when available),
they followed the evidence on events whereever it might lead.

BTW there has been trouble with some of the bloggers on the left trying to discredit this or lessen the Crime that was committed.

The MSM is finally starting, ever so modestly, to report on Tennessee’s Knoxville Horror.Last month, Knox County Criminal Court Judge Richard Baumgartner announced that the four defendants charged with having kidnapped, robbed, gang-raped, murdered, desecrated the corpses of, and stolen from Channon Christian, 21, and Christopher Newsom, 23, will each have a separate trial, each of which Judge Baumgartner foresees – perhaps a tad optimistically – as lasting two weeks.
