I just heard this on the radio. The announcer went out of her way to state, “The victim was black. The suspects are white”.

Now WHEN is the last time you have EVER heard the radio news announcer identify black suspects or Hispanic suspects. Almost never! Then it is just “two men in dark sweatshirts” etc. or “the boys names are withheld due to age”, or just “two men”.

BS. BS. BS. BS. BS. BS.

They NEVER ID the black or Hispanic or Muslim suspects. When the suspects are white, they scream it loud. When they don’t say anything you know the suspects are black, Hispanic or Muslim. Jerks.

Ah, I’m preaching to the choir.

“Since 1991, police have filed 108 criminal charges against the six.”

Why were any of these people still walking around? Shaking my head again.

if it involves sex and west virginia you really don’t want any details, I have met some nice people from wv and they are always “from wv”, it is a beautiful state but it is over run with ambulance chasers, it’s economy sucks and people there don’t really seem to value education

actually the biggest problem with wv is that it very unfriendly to business, them people who actually want jobs move somewhere else and all that the state is left with are people with welfare mentalities, again I have met nice, hard-working people from wv but they always seem to have moved from there

Called a relative who lives in that area. She informed me that these murderous people were planning to murder this young girl and throw her body into the nearby lake called East Lynn. The local people are angry that this occurred in their area, feel great sympathy at what the young girl suffered and hope the law throws the book at these felons that they never see daylight again. Also, the police are still hunting two more.

I saw this on the evening news. This girl had better learn to hang out with a better class of people. Mr. Owl thinks the suspects all look like druggies.

I would think they could charge these sacks of excrement with attempted murder.

The five black people that raped, tortured and murdered those two white teenages weren’t talked about anywhere outside of a few local pages, yet it was one of the most horrific crimes I’ve ever read about.

The media is, indeed, biased when it comes to reporting crimes committed by black people.

No, it is not a hate crime; it’s a brutal crime, but it wasn’t done to intimidate whites from exercising any civil, economic, or social rights. It was done to get money and exercise personal gratification. Merely because the perps were one race and the victim the other doesn’t make it a hate crime. I sincerely hope that prosecutor throws the book at them and they go away for a long, long time since the hangman is no longer in play for these crimes, but it’s not a hate crime.

“Since 1991, police have filed 108 criminal charges against the six.”

This item, plus the report that the victim had been living with one of the 6, makes me suspect that this wasn't a racially-motivated crime. I suspect they thought she had snitched on them and were taking revenge

The woman’s captors forced her to eat rat droppings, choked her with a cable cord and stabbed her in the leg while calling her a racial slur, according to criminal complaints. They also poured hot water over her, made her drink from a toilet, and beat and sexually assaulted her during a span of about a week, the documents say.


Where is the word “allegedly” that seems so important to reporters.........................

“Carmen was very protective of Megan, so it was hard to know her well.”


Yet it is very important that the name be released by her authority.

I just rec’d email from a friend who’s husband grew up in the area and is acquainted with two of the brothers of this clan. My friend’s husband said “the whole damn bunch are looney and should be shot on sight.”
