17 Black Thugs Arrested for Burning White Girl Alive The MSM Is silent
Snips: The FBI has rounded up 17 black gang members that were in connection with the murder of Jessica Chambers in Mississippi. She was a white 19 year old girl that had disappeared from a gas station while she was filling up her car with gas; her body was found burning just a few miles from the station. The thugs doused her with gasoline and then burned her alive.
Even though this happened more than a year ago, the mainstream media was covering it non-stop
oh, wait, just kidding. There was little to no coverage about this story. Now, especially because there are 17 black thugs that have been arrested, we really arent going to hear squat about it.

Where’s the KKK when they’re needed?
I hear the honey is pretty sweet.
That’s not near Tupelo. Not even on the same side of the state. Dolt
Heat, humidity, bugs ‘n thugs - what’s not to like?
I live about an hour away in a Memphis suburb and my work used to take me to Tupelo frequently. I generally spent a week at a time there while conducting audits, so I had lots of time to get to know it. I’ve always liked the town and could easily live there. I have several dear Christian friends who live in Tupelo and know it has some strong churches. Like my town, Olive Branch, MS, Tupelo is among the most conservative and prosperous communities in the state.
Yes, thank you for the obvious. But I was wondering if there were any Freepers in that area that might have some insight. It always helps when the information is from similarly minded people.
Thanks for the info!!!
I just spent a few days down there and really enjoyed the people. I really miss the Southern hospitality and politeness from having lived down South before. Something that NE PA definitely needs a strong dose of.
Only been there once. I rode my bicycle from Nashville to Natchez on the Natchez Trace which passes right through Tupelo. It looked like a town with a lot of potential, but in need of more people to move there to inject some life into the economy. A nice small downtown with nice houses around it from the early 20th century, and miles of strip malls and shopping centers from the late 20th century.
Exactly
Not sure about your career but you would be surprised how many powerful white old-line family Dixie democrats here are STILL democrats. That is something you won’t read online! It’s a white guilt thing I guess.
Any suggestions to the inquiry.....
For what it's worth here's a Discouraging Word.
Mind you the story is from five years ago.
Somewhat obscure rock n roll reference ping. Thank you! ;)
There are a few in prison. That's it.
Elvis was born there, you can tour the home, well at least you could in 1997. I think it’s considered a shot gun style home?
I was on my way to Memphis, just road tripping thru, so I don’t know more about Tupelo.
