For nearly two years, residents of Wichita, Kan., have tried to push from their minds the image of a young woman, naked and bleeding from a head wound, running for her life across a frozen soccer field.

But beginning today, the memories of "the Wichita horror" will be impossible to escape when testimony begins in the multiple-murder trial of Reginald and Jonathan Carr.

Got ya added.

"This horrendous crime should not remain hidden."

You are so right. I was glad to hear Drudge going off about it last night vowing to give this case all the exposure he possibly can.

"I hate to see young black men go through this," the man said during jury selection. But Sedgwick County Judge Paul Clark refused to dismiss him, citing the U.S. Supreme Court precedent in Batson vs. Kentucky, which bars courts from striking black jurors on the assumption that they would favor black defendants.

That's frigging outrageoues! The guy practically admitted his bias, it wasn't an assumption!

There better not be any OJ let-them-go because-they're-black crap on this one, no way!

"...This story should convince any fence sitters to arm themselves. Heavily. And eliminate any hesitation about terminating with extreme prejudice..."

I don't think that anyone with an IQ above that of a slice of buttered toast has any doubts about the TWEP thing...

The issue I wrestle with is whether or not to invest in the education and equipment I'd need to set up the 'Dr. Frankenstien' type lab required to bring the bastards back to life so that I could kill them twice.

Put me on your ping list too, please.

I drive past the Soccer Field nearly every day on my way into town, and it always gives me pause.

I'm really double-minded about calling this a hate crime. Of course it is --- the victims were selected because of their color, then humiliated, abused, terrorized and ultimately executed. Yes, they were robbed as well --- but didn't the SS collect gold teeth and jewelry from their victims at the death camps? Does that make them thieves instead of murderers? No they were murderers first, and thieves on the side.

OTOH, a "hate crime" designation will attract the NAACP, JJ and the Rev. Al. There's little if any sympathy for the Carrs here now, their only hope for sympathy is from outsiders who don't know them for the animals they are. I fear that JJ and his "amen chorus" will generate a national outcry for "justice". I prefer the local brand of justice for these two.

what happened to us that we no longer fight for our lives?

The threat of punishment hanging over your head if you defend yourself is a large part of what happened. You can be punished for defending yourself from criminals in any part of the country now. In Arizona it was once unheard of to prosecute anyone who was defending himself against criminals, but it happens fairly often now.

Just listened to the 911 dispatch call from the survivor. So sad.

If anyone is in the Wichita area you can listen to the trial live on 1240 am radio or ch. 51 & 52 on cable.
