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?

If the press is merely trying to maintain racial calm, then they should downplay all cross-racial crimes. Instead, they generally ignore black-on-white crimes. But white-on-black crimes are hyped at hysterical levels. Even fake ones (Duke LaCrosse) get huge coverage. Even insignificant ones (noose found hanging in a warehouse) are milked for all they’re worth.

Granted, there was not wall-to-wall-Natalee-Holloway-type coverage, but the story was reported

Good grief, we're still getting coverage of the Natalee story = and no one even knows who did what to her...

Here we know = all the horrific details and the who's - and there is a deafening silence

What do you want? A made for TV movie? A video game? A musical? What?

"You should be opposed to abortion on an INTELLECTUAL level,not forced to see nightmarish pictures like the ones being displayed on the signs. I have way too many nightmares as it is."

Well..I'm a strong American girl, of the stock that forged the nation. Maybe I can view them for you and give you a report if you think you can't take it. (You bet...I'm sick of this)

I know this story pretty well. Savages. The MSM are dogs.

I just bumped your search on gretawire.com

[maine-iac7]

wasn’t this the Knoxville murders? I did read about it in several media venues

And you remember every day of the trials of these animals that was televised for weeks on end, also, right?

What's that?

No?

[Squantos]

Remember this one folks......?

[RDTF]

yes. I have family in Knoxville.

[EveningStar]

Thank you! :)

Sadly mine are not typos, it has to do with sounding out a word who receives the s vs. es etc

Somebody brought this up to alan colmes on H&C and he denied it was being covered up. I believe his quote was, “You’re talking about it aren’t you?”

[Riverman94610]

Did you read my entire post?I specifically said the media should play down cases like the Jena Six,etc so as not to get blacks all up in a frenzy either.
We already have a precarious racial atmosphere.Stories like this only nget the extremists on both sides all “hyphy”and stirred up.

[Popman]

Is there any good reason why this was not on national news? I can’t think of one.

I can't think of one either.

Of course, on a slow news night we hear of school buses hitting a light pole, a warehouse on fire in some unremarkable city and other non-news events to fill time and make the cable news babes, Shepard Smith included, get all worked up into a lather.

5 blacks on 2 whites. This is a classic example of why the prison population is majority black. NOT because of any racial discrimination as the ACLU alleges. They happen to be committing crimes.

[Dean Baker]

Why does the text in green repeat a lie?

It states the woman was raped and mutilated for four days, but the article states her body was found by police the next day.

[Plains Drifter]

Bump

[Riverman94610]

Good,then feel free to ingest that visual horror show into your world.
During the Vietnam War,I used to hate the radical protestors for showing pictures of napalmed babies(Supposedly done by US troops)and my vicseral disgust extends to those on a cause I sympathize with-pro-life-as well.

In all fairness this happen years ago. It was big news at the time of the attack.
