The Violent Threat Near UVA that Rolling Stone Downplayed
Nationl Review ^ | 12 December 2013 | Jim Geraghty

There is one more bitter, tragic irony to Rolling Stone’s erroneous coverage of allegations of gang rape at the University of Virginia. Evidence is mounting that young women on the campus indeed faced a violent threat for a long time. It just didn’t come from fraternities or the student body.

On September 13, 18-year-old University of Virginia student Hannah Graham disappeared; authorities recovered her remains from a rural part of Albemarle County, Va., on October 18. Police arrested Jesse Matthew Jr. on September 25, and he was charged in the disappearance of Graham.

What’s astounding is how many young women disappeared in such a short period of time around the University of Virginia’s campus:

Hannah Graham is the fifth young woman in five years to vanish within a few miles of Route 29, the main highway which runs through Charlottesville.

Nineteen-year-old Samantha Ann Clarke, who vanished after leaving her Orange County town house in September 2010, 19-year-old DaShad Laquinn Smith, who disappeared in Charlottesville in November 2012, and 17-year-old Alexis Murphy, who was last seen near Lynchburg, Va. in August of 2013 and whose car was found in Charlottesville, remain missing. . . . Morgan Harrington, a 20-year-old Virginia Tech student, disappeared from the University of Virginia’s John Paul Jones Arena while attending a rock concert in October 2009.

All evidence seems to indicate this young man was responsible for some of those deaths. How many people was he working next to week after week, hiding this side of his life? If he is innocent, he better look for the right lawyer, and quickly. The case against him is starting to look airtight.

If Rolling Stone wanted to beat that horse to death — it would hire Colin Feherty.

Black man, rapes and murders two white women(And probably will turn out to be a serial killer) and hardly a mention in the media(Other than Fox News) yeah there was a threat at UVA and it wasn’t some fraternity, it was Jesse Matthew, but hey, he’s black therefore nothing to see here, moving on

I don’t think that they ignored it. I think the Rolling Stone article was probably intended to “change the narrative”. They want people talking about rape, but they don’t want people talking about oppressed minorities raping, they want them talking about evil college boys raping.

Holder was right although in a way totally opposite from the point he was trying to make. We are a “nation of cowards”.

Racially motivated black on white violent crime in the USA is epidemic compared with the reverse but no politician and most individuals are afraid to even mention this publicly. We all must grovel before the Race Card.

Just look at the white Sony executives beg for forgiveness for simply discussing whether Obama would like movies with black actors and themes in them!

Compare that with black actor, Jamie Foxx gloating on Saturday Night Live about his role in the movie,Django Unchained, where he “Gets to kill ALL the white people. How great is that? How black is that?”

And he said it when dozens of whites are being murdered, and hundreds violently attacked in “knock out” and mob attacks, in their homes, and at the workplace by racially motivated black thugs nationwide every year.

Yet no coverage or uproar in the Corrupt Liberal Media. Foxx Hollywood career has not been hurt at all. If anything it was enhanced with him set to play the non violent hero, Martin Luther King, in an upcoming movie!

The violent threat to UVA and Charlottesville sits on the judicial bench. Violent thugs are arrested, tried, and convicted only for the judges to suspend the sentences.

Two women were recently murdered in CVille by a serial offender, recently sentenced to 7 years in prison — with all but 1 month suspended. That sort of crap is a major threat to society. But it is difficult to even find out the judge’s identity.
