Where has the MSM been since the terrible crime described below was committed? Why have not Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton been excited like they were for the Duke Lacross players? And where is CNN, ABC and NBC to tell the nation about this one. What are they waiting for? This happened the end of January and have you heard about it yet?
The young couple was car-jacked, 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. Channon 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. Read it:
Dozens of New Charges in Double Murder Case Announced Posted: 5:05 PM Feb 1, 2007. Last Updated: 11:40 AM Feb 8, 2007. Reporter: Whitney Daniel , WVLT Staff
Knoxville (WVLT) - The District Attorney General of Knox County announced the list of charges facing now five suspects in the double murder of Channon Christian and Christopher Newsom .
The District Attorney General Randy Nichols is not saying whether or not he will seek the death penalty, but he does say the State will seek conviction for all charges filed in a 24-page indictment from the Knox County Grand Jury.
Lemaricus Davidson, 25, faces a total of 46 charges. Davidson was indicted on 16 counts of Felony Murder growing out of rape, robbery kidnapping and theft of Channon Christian and Chris Newsom, 2 counts premeditated murder of Christian and Newsom, 2 counts especially aggravated robberies from Christian and Newsom, 4 counts especially aggravated kidnapping of Christian and Newsom, 20 counts aggravated rape of Christian and Newsom, and 2 counts of theft from Christian and Newsom.

Just last night, police in Lebanon , Kentucky , arrested 18-year-old Vanessa Coleman. She faces 40 Tennessee state charges. Coleman was indicted on 12 counts Felony Murder growing out of rape, robbery kidnapping and theft of Channon Christian and Chris Newsom, 1 count Premeditated Murder of Christian only, 1 count Especially Aggravated Robbery of Newsom only, 4 counts especially aggravated kidnapping of Christian and Newsom, 20 counts of aggravated rape of Christian and Newsom and 2 Counts of theft from Christian and Newsom.
Eric Boyd, 24, also arrested in connection with the fatal carjacking, only faces federal charges as an accessory after the fact. He was not indicted by Knox county grand jury.
Felony Murder carries a possibility of death, life without the possibility of parole and life with parole. Especially Aggravated Robbery is a Class A felony that carries a possibility of 15 to 60 years in prison. Aggravated Rape is a Class A felony that carries a possibility of 15 to 60 years of prison.
At a news conference Thursday , Nichols commended the cooperative efforts between several departments and credits that cooperation for the fast pace this case is moving through the court system.
Nichols says he hopes to move the case to trial on the first day it's set.
The four are expected to make their first court appearance within ten to fifteen days.
This is certainly a case garnering a lot of public interest, Nichols recognizes that and says he expects all kinds of requests filed in this case, including a change of venue in order to receive a fair trial. But he says he does hope 12 Knox County jurors will be able to determine the guilt or innocence of these suspects.
Where are Reverends Al and Jesse on this evident hate crime? Are they providing counsel and help to the families of the victims? Why hasn't this received National coverage by the news media like the Duke "rape" case? Why hasn't the NAACP, ACLU, New York Times, etc., called for an investigation? Why hasn't the FBI been called in to investigate this as a hate crime?
Let me quess! The victims are white and the perps black?
Boy, you’re quick!
Victims.
Bump for justice!!!!! (what’s the latest???)
It’s incredible that the tabloid TV shows are not all over this. Where is Nancy Grace? Where is Greta?
And all the while the MSM pursues the NON-CRIME that didn’t happen at Duke because the fake “vicitm” is black and the party boys are white and rich.
I wonder if the State of Tennessee would consider turning those five scumbags over to me...god forgive me, but the “work” I could do on them after reading this story...
That sums it up perfectly...
Why hasn’t there been a call for the liberals favorite punishment multiplier, “hate crime”?
Not a chance. Sources for posting this story are few and far between.
I’m with ya. my help would involve a small blowtorch. slowly.
In Tennessee the condemned have a choice between lethal injection and the electric chair. This month the electric hair was used for the first time since 1960.

Or a hacksaw.
Whites will not defend themselves in general.
I do not understand why.
Maybe someone can tell me why even most conservatives are terrified to point out the obvious depravity of crimes like this—but they won’t call them hate crimes, and they scarcely cover it.
And there were others, years ago, a couple of brothers in KS and several white teens shot execution style. Depraved beyond comprehension.
In any case...I’ve said for years that it was turning around, but it’s not. I think there is no turning this around because we’ve decided to desegregate. We have made this decision as a nation. The level of culture and safety we had as a majority white nation is permanently gone. I don’t think, on average, blacks are capable of it.
It’s just my observation, and it’s a statistical argument.
Eventually the level of culture will drop to some average level of violence and chaos that incorporates the black communities ( with their failings in education, fatherless households etc), and that will come to represent the average experience in the US. It will vary quite a lot, but the average experience will continue to drop until it reaches the appopriate mean. Do not expect this place to ever be like Sweden.
I expect it to be a little like gangland Chicago was. Great, pleasant, but if you end up in the wrong place at the wrong time, nighty night—and it will be that way everywhere, on average, with out-of-the blue crimes committed by blacks in small places that will shock us.
I would like nothing more than to be proven wrong, believe me. I have no money to make being right!
But looking at Africa, I can’t see any other scenario.

Whites usually have more to lose, and have greater fear of the consequences.
The Sharpton-Jackson community can kiss my ass on thinking it isn't. They lose. period.
