DOUBLE STANDARD. RACIST MEDIA. period.
It makes me absolutely sick that horrific things like this are so well-covered up by the media that one would have to tune in to the G.Gordon Liddy show or surf the Net to stumble across it.The real travesty is that if these two innocent victims were any ethnicity other than Caucasian,this would be screamed from every rooftop,crammed into every newspaper and magazine and blasted into every livingroom in the world.Absolutely shameful.
Well, it's slightly more newsworthy than blacks raping and killing other blacks, but not much.
It’s possible that the University squashed the story. Many of the big schools do that, especially when it get close to recruiting season. It’s the only logical excuse that I can think of.
I am also curious why there hasn’t been more discussion about the family that was murdered in Lancaster, PA. The police don’t even have a clue in that one, and are telling people to lock their doors and keep their family members close. Pretty scary.
bttt
There hasn’t been a word said about this in Mobile, AL.
Prayers for the deceased, and their families.
And, prayers for Justice. (Not like that’s gonna happen it ain’t called the “Criminal Justice System” for nothing.
Incredible how white guilt paralyzes the worthless MSM from doing its job.
I never, ever would have found out about this were it not for FR and the Internet.
Have the suspects said anything at all about why they did this? Usually something the suspect says gets leaked out and publicized.
This indeed stinks like a cover up.
I am just deeply disgusted and horrified by this. Just when you think that the world isn’t screwed up enough you find stories like this.
it’s a Hate Crime
That's truly awful, the crime AND the "coverage" (shudder. double shudder.)
And what about the coverage of the ninety DEMOCRAT congressmen and senators who've taken Abramoff-linked money since 1990? I'd call that even "scanter" in comparison to how many times they repeated stories about the Republican ones who took any.
Certainly true for rape/sexual assault:

-begin excerpt-
If you go to the website reporting the annual National Crime Victimization Survey, as many people do, you can look up the rape statistics in "Table 42: Personal Crimes of Violence 2005: Percent distribution of single offender victimizations, based on race of victims, by type of crime and perceived race of offender."
Under "Rape/Sexual assaults" the survey reports 111,490 rape/assaults in 2005 in which a white was the victim. The "perceived race" of the offender was reported as white in 44.5 percent of cases, black in 33.6 percent of cases, "other" in 19.6 percent of cases.
Where the victim of rape was black, in 36,620 cases, things were rather different. The "perceived race" of the offender was reported as black in 100.0 percent of cases. White offenders? "0.0*" percent.
The asterisk means that the sample included ten or fewer reports.
The federal crime statistics show that white-on-black rape was almost non-existent in the United States of America in 2005.

The silence from Nancy Grace is deafening.
No, we just saw yesterday (in the case of a teacher) that even if the perps use racial epithets that someone will say that is just part of their culture and is not evidence of "hate."
I guess a mute white guy can't commit a hate crime.
I guess a gang of white guys can do anything they want to black people, but as long as they don't use racial terms, it can't be a hate crime. I doubt that.
I don't like the concept of 'hate' crime, but as long as it is around, apply it equally. So far, not a chance of that happening.
