I was stationed in Witchita Ks at McConnell AFB in late 70's and that place was a ticking time bomb up around the Hillside Road area.....Lots of assults, drive bys, robbery ect ect....high crime rate. One didn't loiter there with out a sidearm for long. I wonder what the address of the victims home was ? It may have been posted but I haven't seen it.

I hope they put these two animals down like the rabid rodents they are .......

Stay Safe , Armed and CYA Gary ! !

They lived on the far northeast fringes of the city away from the "bad areas". They were killed about a mile from me.

Who were you with? I was there, right out of basic From Oct 75 to mid-78. I was an Admin troop working in the 381st SMW Safety Office.

You are right, though, it was a pit.

Dear Sirs,

Your refusal to give national coverage to the trial of Jonathan and Reginald Carr currently in Wichita is shameful. This is yet another example of the media's double standards when it come to crimes committed by minorities.

In case you are not familiar with this story, these men are on trial for 113 counts of rape, aremed robbery, burglary, assault, murder and attempted murder of 5 white victims over the course of a week. These men are accused of raping not only women, but men as well. They are accused of stripping their victims, lining them up on their knees in the snow, and executing them. They then drove a stolen pickup truck over four of the victims. Fortunately, one of the victims survived to tell her horrible tale.

WHY is this story given so little media attention?! I can take a guess.... The defendents are black, and the victims are white. And to classify ANY crime perpetrated by blacks as a hate crime would bring the anger of Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton, and Louis Farrakan to your news desks.

Even FoxNews.com, a news organization I respect for not shying away from these types of stories, gives only a watered down version of the story (Link).

CNN's search page shows nothing on this story. MSNBC's website also has failed to report this story. A search of wire.ap.org reveals no story on Reginald Carr or his brother. This story is apparently not "news fit to print," because yet another search on the NY Times website shows another blatant example of the media ignoring the story of a horrible crime.

These men are accused of 113 felonies! Rape, assault, armed robbery, sodomy, attempted murder, and murder. These are two stone cold killers that have shown no remorse-- a terrible act committed in the heartland of America.

And none of you... not a damn one of you, have the courage or journalistic integrity to report this major story.

Shame on all of you for your cowardice!
