THERE MAY BE HARSH LANGUAGE IN THIS POST!You may not have heard the story of Channon Christian and Chris Newsome's grisly rape, torture, and murder at the hands of the 5 black animals shown below.
Why haven't you heard of this case? Because the victims were white. And they weren't gay.
The main stream media gleefully covered the Duke Lacrosse team when it was alleged they had raped a black stripper. Matthew Sheperd was beaten and killed, supposedly for being gay, so that was naturally a hate crime. But a young white couple is carjacked, raped, tortured, and murdered by a gang of blacks who did not know the victims - but that isn't a hate crime?
Well it seems that at least one of the murdering animals is getting his day in court. The trial started yesterday for Letalbis Cobbins. The death sentence is too good for him. May he rot in hell for what he has done.
From the Wikipedia of the case:
According to news reports, Christian and Newsom had gone on a date at a local restaurant on Saturday, January 6, 2007, but did not return home. During their night out, the couple was "hijacked, bound and blindfolded and taken back to Lemaricus Devall 'Slim' Davidson's rented house on Chipman Street."[4]
Christian's parents found her abandoned Toyota 4-Runner two blocks away from the Chipman Street house the following Monday with the help of her mobile phone provider. An envelope recovered from the vehicle yielded fingerprint evidence that led police to Lemaricus Davidson and 2316 Chipman Street. When police went to the address on Tuesday, January 9, they found the home unoccupied and Christian's body in a trash can in the kitchen.
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 raped 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. Christian's death would come only after hours of sexual torture, medical examiner Mileusnic-Polchan testified. Christian 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 Christian 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. Christian died slowly, suffocating, the medical examiner said.[5]

While I agree this is a horrific crime and this should be in the news, these guys publicly villified and brought to justice, I don't see evidence here that it can be classified as a "hate crime".
In fact, the entire "hate crime" designation is completely stupid and was made up by some politician in order to get votes so he could pretend he was "doing something".
In the Sheppard case, I believe there was evidence, if I remember it correctly, that the REASON they did this was because he was apparently gay.
But I remember the Duke case, and the "hate crime" designation was completely stupid. They did what they did because they were a bunch of *(&^*(*&^^ and because they COULD. I don't recall that race had anything to do with it.
And in this case, I see no evidence that the fact that the victims were white had anything to do with their torture and murder. Thus, it can't be classified as a hate crime unless there's something here I'm not seeing.
But be in the media...yes, it should be. This is so horrific it should be all OVER the news. Yet I'm not surprised. Here in MN no matter how awful it is, if it doesn't happen in the big city, it doesn't happen. News is a matter of convenience, not truth.
You should know that by now.
I pray for the souls of the two that were so brutally murdered (my God, how awful, I have no words!), and for those who savaged them. May the Lord have the Mercy upon them that I can't muster.
some random explanation here
^ I agree with their point about tons of bad crap happening all the time that doesn't get mass attention. And sheesh, ever looked at that crime library? Some of the stuff on there...wtf...
And who knows why the Matthew Shepherd thing got so much attention, turning into a play and all....... I'll bet there are plenty of times other gays get beat up even to the point of death that, again, doesn't get all that attention. Don't know, some stories just seem to catch more media attention than others. I feel that whole Laci Petersen thing got WAY way too much attention. And even those random college girls who went missing in Mexico or something. It's like...okay tons of children and people go missing and kidnapped everyday. Why did those get so much attention.
As far as snopes' comment on VTech. Well come on, I'm partial to that one obviously...but that WAS the largest "mass shooting" as far as numbers go in the US, beating out Columbine and Luby's, so that deserved some media. And it didn't even get as much stuff as Benet Ramsey or Laci Petersen...thankfully. I was really hoping it wouldn't turn into some damn lurid TV/media soap opera. But then, at the same time, I know some military people were like "larger numbers of people are dying in Iraq all the time and they don't get the memorial and attention those 32 students did, grrr..." etc. So, you know...there's always going to be something.

Adoro - I am not a hate crimes guy, my point was why is it that only whites are accused of them? Isn't in the genetic code of a minority to have hate in his or her heart?
While whites can so easily be brought to trial as hate criminals, I'm not seeing evidence that blacks or other minorities are as well.
I assert that if 5 whites had gang raped, tortured, mutilated and murdered 2 blacks, rest assured the media coverage would have been much different.
Uncle Jesse and Uncle Al would be out there screaming from the rooftops about the hate filled whites that committed these atrocities against their black brother and sister.
Where's the outage?
That's all.
*scratches head* Am I the only one here though that thinks this case is familiar? I recognize that guy in the picture who got killed. Maybe he has a more recognizable face to me than the woman, but, I do remember thinking him. So, there was some media attention somewhere.
(random) And forget about the whole race thing, I still wonder why things with random little cute (usually white) kids get THE most attention over anything. Guess people don't care about adults so much, lol.
And even though you weren't responding to me...I'm iffy on the whole concept of a hate crime too. Some people do kill just because of a certain race/orientation/religion/whatever. Which is bad. Buut is that worse than killing someone because you hate their guts personally? I mean it is, but is it...why does it have its own category.
I remember there was a funny South Park episode about hate crimes, you might appreciate it Traddy. Oh lookie here I found it. Bad quality but it was the only one I found that wasn't deleted off youtube lol. Cartman's silly hate crime Watch it if you have time, you might like.
