But how many presidential letters went out to the family of Ken Tillery?
Who is Ken Tillery?
Tillery, approximately a month ago, walked down a Jasper, Texas, road. Three men offered him a ride. But the men kidnapped Tillery, driving him to a remote location. John Perazzo of FrontPageMagazine.com, describes what happened: "When the terrified Tillery jumped out of the vehicle and tried to flee, the kidnappers caught up with him, beat him and finally ran over him – dragging [emphasis added] him to his death beneath their car's undercarriage." How much coverage did the case get? An online search of 557 newspapers found that 22 covered the story.
Why the deafening silence? Well, Tillery is white, and the three suspects in the case – Darrell Gilbert, Blake Little and Anthony Holmes – are all black. No story.
