Hate Crimes and Torture

I'll make this short and to the point. The murder of Shannon Christian and Christopher Newsome in Knoxville were horrific, racially motivated murders. They were grusomely tortured before they were murdered. Newsome's penis was cut off, raped and he was set on fire. They tortured and raped Christian for four days, cut off one of her breasts and filled her mouth with chemicals. The two victims were white. The five assailants were black. It hasn't been classified as a hate crime or even a significant crime. There was wasn't a peep from the media.

Fast forward to today where the torture of a young black woman by five whites has set off a media firestorm. The torture was disgusting but not life-threatening. She has all of her bodyparts. Most likely, she will completely recover.

I just want to know, why the double-standard? Now seems the perfect time to renew the questions about the double murder/torture/rape of Shannon and Christopher.

I think we owe them that.

The national MSM will never cover this outrage. It doesn’t fit their predispositions as to who criminals and victims are. Black on White carjacking, kidnapping, rape, torture, and murder cannot be talked about on national tv or radio.

Somebody might think the media were racist.

They have NO credibility left.

Double standards make me sick.

[TexasCajun]

I remembered the incident but could not remember when & where.

I thought about this incident when I read about the white on black 'hate crime'.

Write the guys @ NewsBusters.org maybe they will cover the bias.

The media would be a joke if they were such a pathetic bunch of cretins. Most should be hanged for treason and the rest should be hanged just because.

[cripplecreek]

Most likely, she will completely recover.

Somehow I doubt that.

However, yes I agree that there are some serious double standards at play. I'm thinking that both groups of animals should be dropped into a pit so we can bet on the outcome.

I couldn't believe this Google News Search:

Your search - "Shannon Christian" and "Christopher Newsome" - did not match any documents.

[kjo]

Agreed. They are nothing but a bunch of semi-pretty blow dryed boys and girls who know little except how to appear appropriately liberal.

They are a disgrace.

I think we become twice as enraged by something like this because of the impotence that we feel to do anything about it. Why is it that if I hadn’t come to this forum today I would have missed this story? Where is FOX News? Where is that bastion of Fair and Balanced reporting? The others I have given up on totally.

[Bitsy]

What ever happened in that case. It was so horrific I could hardly read about it. Those two poor people and what they were subjected to and for what. I don’t think we as people should ever let this go and should keep reminding the weak-headed media about it. This sort of thing should never happen again in the United States. And the perps’ body parts should be strewn about in the alligator swamps of Louisiana. Alligators need to eat too, you know.

[Doc91678]

Oh, But they were only white honkies. That poor black girl lived to talk about it and the Reverend Sharpton is all broke up about it.
Like you I have commented about the brutality of the murdered white couple. Yet, the MSM and Progressive Marxist Left think that open season on white people is not a hate crime.
Just as they think hate mongering, slander and smearing is fine and dandy as long as they do it. But no one else is allowed to do the same.

*rolls eyes*

All the perps are going to jail for a very, very long time.

How much does it really matter what a bunch of media retards choose to run alongside Michael Vick and the gay sex scandal of the week?

Channon Christian

Thought I would correct the spelling of the pronunciation. Will help with your google search as well.

Thanks and bookmark for later use

I am embarrassed. I posted the same thing three times because I kept getting distracted. Maybe it’s senility. Wish I could delete two....sorry!

[rbosque]

The MSM won’t even acknowledge the murders by an illegal on those black college kids in NJ as racist either. P1ss on the left.

[Grumpy_Mel]

One thing this should illustrate to everyone...

NEVER, EVER let an attacker take you anywhere. It doesn’t matter how well armed they are or how ill prepaired you are to resist.

If they want your money, wallet, car keys..... fine.

If they want to take you with them somewhere..... fight or run.

Some-one who tries to take you somewhere isn’t just interested in robbing you. Your chances for survival are almost always better refusing to go with them.

[Global2010]

Both crimes are horrid no matter what the MSM reports.

If those creeps who held her captive had not had the visit from the Sherriff’s Dept that gal would of been dead.

I refuse to compare the two cases as they both were done by sick rabid souless animals.

[SonnyBubba]

I haven’t heard of this crime, but with the circumstances
being what they are I’m not suprised.
Last time I was in Knoxville I broke down in a seedy
neighborhood. A Knoxville cop came by and stayed
with me for over an hour until the tow truck came.
He said he there is an out of control element in that
town.

[Stayfree]

You should be proud of yourself...you have covered it more profusely than the MSM.

[BerryDingle]

“Both crimes are horrid no matter what the MSM reports.”

Agree, the only reason the Knoxville crime ever was found out was through the local media and concerned citizens getting it onto the internet.

But the whole point here is one is considered a hate crime but the other isn’t.

Try these names:
Channon Christian and Chris Newsom

[TheThinker]

Her real name is Channon Christian. Sorry about that.

My own theory about the non-reporting of this story is that black hate crimes are a threat to the Democratic Party. If it is realized that whites are increasingly victims and blacks are shown that they are not the only victims, then the Democratic Party loses-big. Right now there is a lot of anger among the black community for the African-American women that was tortured.

You can’t blame the black community en-masse for believing that they are the ones that are always victimized because that is all they’re shown by the media.

You almost can’t blame many white liberals for feeling guilty even today because they are led to believe that whites have always been the victimizers and still are.

If you truly want racial harmony and parity, everyone had better work on getting the truth out.
