These guys have a huge rap sheet and there are Carrs listed for page after page in the district court appearance docket list. Huge disfunctional family.

Hang 'em high. ba$tards

This sounds like a rather straightforward case. I don't care about hoopla over it just as long as they hang (wishful thinking).

"The whole purpose of having them (hate crime laws) is that it's more serious to attack a racial group than just a guy." Fact is that it isn't worse, regardless of the race involved. It is "a guy" who dies, not a race.
To: kattracks
. The defense, which tried unsuccessfully to move the trial, released a survey earlier this year showing that 74 percent of county residents said the Carrs were either "guilty" or "definitely guilty." And that's only because "Guilty as Hell" was not a choice!
Needless to say, all hate crime statutes are moronic.

The "Mainstream Media" should be hung in public right beside them.This has been going on for years and has not only been covered up by "Mainstream Media" but also by our Federal Government.Americans have been brainwashed to the point they no longer have a conscience when a white person is murdered by a black,they cower in the shadows and whisper.We deserve what we get.

Hear, hear!
The Carr's can only be put to death once. The PC reporters and their editors who sat on this story deserve to have the images of the victims seared into their minds and their families' minds forever. That is the crime that is now to be prosecuted.

If any of those people would have had a handgun--say a
.45--BAM BAM. The innocent would be alive, the guilty dead,
and no trial would be needed.

Reginald and Jonathan Carr were merely performing an act of
revolutionary violence/symbolic speech demonstrating
solidarity with all
oppressed peoples of the earth in partial
reparation for years of their
subjugation at the hands of the
white, male, pig oppressor class.
Aren't Reginald and Jonathan the real victims here?
To: kattracks
District Attorney Nola Foulston argued that she couldn't charge the brothers with hate crimes because Kansas had no hate-crimes statute. This is a show-stopping detail that shows why Kansas is not charging them with Hate Crimes.... However, the point that the news media is at fault here still holds.
I'm not familiar wiith this case...
Because the Carrs are black and their victims white, many observers expected the brothers to be charged with hate crimes.
Is this the only basis for "hate" or did the perps say things that would lead you to suspect the killings were racially motivated?

"That sense of racial injustice was exacerbated by the dearth of national media attention on the crime."That's almost an understatement. This happened in Kansas and I live in Nebraska and I don't remember hearing about this. I guess I missed the two-sentence article about it in the local rag.

To: kattracks
If they are found guilty, it will be called a Hate Verdict.
