Looks like all of the media have read Alinsky’s book.
The dragging death of a black man named Byrd in Texas is always brought up as a example of racist cruelty but why is it that this did not become a national story? The media people surely have heard of it since it is a news story in Tennessee but outside of Tennesee —silence. Our news is very selctive. We have to become wary of any news that is dropped in our laps, we have to look for our own news sources on the internet. TV and newspapers have preselected news.
I am sure everyone here heard or read about the “Wichita Massacre” back when it happened. /sarc.

This type of thing seems to be common.
Another was the Newsome/Christian murders:
According to the testimony of the Knox County Acting Medical Examiner Dr. Darinka Mileusnic-Polchan at the subsequent trial of Eric Boyd, Newsom was repeatedly sodomized with an object and then blindfolded, gagged, arms and feet bound and his head covered. Barefoot, he was either led or dragged outside the house to a set of nearby railroad tracks. He was shot in the back of the head, the neck, and the back, and his body then set on fire.
Channon's death came after hours of sexual torture, medical examiner Mileusnic-Polchan testified. Channon suffered horrific injuries to her vagina, anus and mouth. She was not only raped but savaged with "an object," possibly a broken chair leg, the doctor testified. She was beaten in the head. Some type of chemical was poured down her throat, and her body, including her bleeding and battered genital area, likely scrubbed with the same solution all while Channon was alive, the forensic expert said. She was then "hog-tied," with curtains and strips of bedding, her face covered tightly with a small trash bag and her body stashed inside five large trash bags before being placed inside a large trash can and covered with sheets. Channon died slowly, suffocating, the medical examiner said.[6]

Channon Christian, Christopher Newsome
Feral black thugs who tortured, raped and murdered the young couple
Both of these atrocities just make me sick. One reason I go armed most of the time.
