Openly gay Democratic black mayoral candidate beaten, dragged, and set on fire. Why haven't you heard about this? Because the perp is black also. Not news worthy.

Patience. The media spin machine needs time to figure out how a horrific crime of this nature can be spun as:

1. A result of white culture dominance or
   
2. Homophobia or
   
3. The perp being a white black man or
   
4. George Bush's fault.

Sounds almost like the way the Islamists were treating some captured security contractors...

I'm going to guess the perp is also gay, which makes it doubly unlikely we will see this in the news that much. That level of extreme violence is generally reserved for lover's spats in the gay community.

RIP.

I lived in SF and knew a cop there:

Gay guy murders verrrry commonly produce scenes hugely rich in hate and angst:

Genitals cut off, eyes cored out, words written in blood, photos smashed and torn up, lots and lots of, “you hurt me in a very special way and I’m going to make your death slow and horrible”.

Drama queens REALLY let it flow when they kill somebody.

OF COURSE the liberal (and 80% gay) Bay Area media has a huge code of silence about it: wouldn’t fit the, “gay = funny/creative/spontaneous” narrative.

are they sure its not a suicide?

Sorry for being ‘picky’ but, IMNSHO the headline is telling me that the BODY underwent that degradation AFTER the murder?

?????????????

Here's the victim, a productive citizen:

And here's the low-life waste of space who harmed him:

The perp is not only black but almost certainly gay.
NO ONE likes to, or even CAN, exploit cases like this, because , the minute they look into it, real life intrudes,
and no one can call it a hate crime, a gender-bias crime,
anti-black bias crime,etc.etc. There are simply no handles to grab it from,nothing there to exploit in the service of
any current political agenda.

Black man murdering another black man by torturing him to death: no agenda advancement, not news.

Black individuals murdering white couple (in Tennessee) by torturing them to death: no agenda advancement, not news.

White man shoots black man in self defense in Sanford, Florida: agenda advancement possible, headline news for months.

Shelby is just a little, tiny town between Cleveland and Clarksdale, MS.

Homosexual, black on black crime won’t get any attention outside of the immediate area. It doesn’t fit the media mold.

[Bon mots]

A young white boy was beaten to death in school by two feral blacks and not only is it not news, nobody was arrested.

Counselors were brought in.
