You are right on so many points. Are there NO community leaders or right leaning non racist media figures in that area who could have tried to form an anti-crime rally of some kind? Rally against parole and soft on crime policies that allowed these animals to be out and preying on innocent people? A rally like this would of course be open to all, without race as a issue. Crime and the tolerance of it should have been the issue. They had a gathering like that after the Cheshire CT home invasion murders last summer, though there the victims and the rapist/killers all were white.
All things considered though, I am surprised that black woman who was raped and abused for a week by those white hillbillies in WV a few months ago did not get more coverage. I would have thought by now she would have been a “cause celebre” among the followers of Sharpton and Jackson.
And at the risk of going on more of a tangent... How about the story last summer where 2 white guys in Atlanta were kidnapped at gunpoint outside a nightclub and forced into the trunk of a car? They were held captive for like 18 hours while the black kidnappers went on a spending spree with their cash and credit cards. What made this story stand out was that one of the victims sent a text message from the trunk of the assailants’ car, and police were able to trace it and rescue these poor guys. This was a major national story and the victims were interviewed on several shows. Pictures of the scumbags were clearly shown. I had to wonder though, what if they had been murdered? Would this story ever have seen the light of day in the national media??
If memory serves, I think the incident in West Virginia lost media attention because it turned out the black victim was the ex-girlfriend of one of the abusers. Apparently she dumped him, and he retaliated by holding her hostage and torturing her, with help from his depraved family. It would have been hard for the media to push the racism angle if the white abuser was acting out of jealousy because his black girlfriend left him.
That’s what I recall, but maybe someone else here knows more about it. Whenever a story starts out getting a lot of media attention, and then suddenly is dropped, there’s usually a PC reason. That’s why so many of us got suspicious when the Columbia University noose incident suddenly disappeared from the media radar when it was reported that a security camera may have filmed the perpetrator.
