To judge from the ghastly details of The Wichita Massacre that I relayed in a recent article, it is difficult not to think that this abomination of a crime supplies us with as blatant an expression of unmitigated evil as any that were likely to encounter. Indeed, Reginald Carr and his brother Jonathan are in fact the soulless monsters that one of their two surviving victims described them as being, and if they were white and their victims were blackrather than the other way aroundthere isnt a person in America who wouldnt have long known this.
Yet as a reader was quick to note, there is another crime that occurred in Knoxville, Tennessee in 2007 that rivals, and may, if this is possible, even exceed the massacre in Wichita for its raw savagery. Like the case in Wichita, the Knoxville Horror, as its dubbed by those relatively few interested souls that dared to report on it, has received virtually no national coverage.
And like the case in Wichita, the perpetrators in Knoxville were black and their prey white.
By all accounts, Channon Christian, a 21 year-old senior at the University of Tennessee who lived at home with her parents and brother, was as beautiful on the inside as she was on the outside. Her boyfriend, a 23 year-old trim carpenter named Christopher Newsom, was equally beloved by lots of friends and family.
Little could either one of them have known that when they left their parents homes on the night of January 7, 2007, they would never see their loved ones again.
On this fateful Saturday evening, Channon and Chris had planned upon going to a friends birthday party. Chris arrived to meet Channon at another friends apartment so that he could follow her to the party in his own car. But first he escorted Channon to her own car where he leaned over to give her a kiss.
And thats where the young couple was greeted by thugs who carjacked and abducted them at gunpoint.
Channon and Chris were driven to the rundown residence of their assailants: George Detroit Thomas; Letalvis Rome Cobbins; Lemaricus Slim Davidson; Eric E Boyd; and Vanessa Coleman. It at this house of horrors that Channon and Chris would be subjected to a species of brutality that defies the imaginationand that would, ultimately, culminate in their deaths.
According to the Knoxville News Sentinel, a medical examinerDr. Darinka Mileusnic-Polchantestified at the trial of one of the defendants that [Chris] Newsom was repeatedly raped and then blindfolded, gagged, arms and feet bound and his head covered. Then, while barefoot, he was either led or dragged outside the house to a set of nearby railroad tracks, where a gun was placed to the back of his head and fired. He was shot twice more, once in the neck and once in the back.
Finally, his body was set on fire [.]
His body was set on fire.
Channon, though, wouldnt die until hours laterafter unrelenting sexual torture.
The Knoxville News Sentinel reports: [Channon] Christian suffered horrific injuries to her vagina, anus, and mouth. She was not only raped, but savaged with an object 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 by the same solution [.]
As if the specifics of her ordeal werent dreadful enough, the paper informs readers that it occurred all while Christian was alive (emphasis added) [.]
Yet Channons nightmare was not over.
She was then hog-tied, with curtains and strips of bedding, her face covered tightly with a small white trash bag and her body stashed inside five large trash bags before being placed inside a large trash can and covered with sheets.
The medical examiner concluded that Christian died slowly, suffocating [.]
The parents of Channon Christian and Chris Newsom have been made to endure not only the trauma of losing their children, and losing them to a gang of conscienceless demons. Not unlike the families of the Carrs victims in Wichita, theyve also had to suffer the indignity of witnessing new trials orderedand on the flimsiest of groundsfor their childrens rapist-murderers: the judge who presided over the first set of trials, it was argued, had a drug problem during the last couple of years of his tenure that rendered him incompetent.
This pathetic argument workedmuch to the chagrin of the jurors who made it clear in no uncertain terms that it was they who convicted the villains, and that they were quite competent when they did so.
Thankfully, however, verdicts delivered the second time around werent all that different in substance from those originally issued (though the sheer fact that any of these gutter snipes continue to avail themselves of oxygen is itself an injustice):
The ringleader, Lemaricus Slim Davidson remains on death row; Letalvis Rome Cobbins is serving a life sentence without parole, while George Detroit Thomas serves a sentence of 123 years to life; Eric E Boyd, who was convicted of his role in the carjackinga federal offenseand for his assistance in helping the others evade capture, is doing 18 years in a federal penitentiary; and Vanessa Coleman is serving a 35 year sentencebut she will be eligible for parole in early 2019.
Most of us are familiar with the old saying, Charity begins at home. So too, then, must the fight against evilthe fight in which those in Republican-friendly media outlets are constantly imploring us to engage when discussing the rest of the worldbegin at home. As the Wichita and Knoxville atrocities make painfully clear, evil does not end at Americas borders.
But the first step toward fighting evil is calling it for what it iseven when its agents (and their victims) make it politically incorrect to do so.
Pure evil is what it is
I would have personally killed all 5 without batting an eye and let God judge me.
Ugh, every time I read about this story, it makes my soul cringe. The agony this couple must’ve experienced is unfathomable.
It’s stories like this one that exemplify my reasoning for carrying a firearm, and no man or government will take away my right to do so.
In addition to what these subhumans did, the second outrage was the news blackout on this story.
The news media is complicit in the cover up of the overall magnitude of crime by black perpetrators, and the overwhelming disproportionality of black on white crime.
The victims’ family members should not have to support the criminals with three meals per day for life. There should have been more death penalties and Tennessee needs to actually carry out such sentences.
Bttt
I agree completely
same here
These savages are prime candidates to be bumped to the front of the execution line. If the state wants to save money I will happily take custody of them, execute and dispose of them free of charge.
” Vanessa Coleman is serving a 35 year sentencebut she will be eligible for parole in early 2019”
I pray that the families and the community rise up like Doris Tate and attend every parole meeting and fight to deny her parole. Hard to believe this piece of evil trash could be release.
Lock all five in a room with one door and nothing else. Tell them only one will be allowed to leave the room alive. When four of them are dead open the door and allow the survivor to enter the next room only to be confined there until his death from starvation and lack of water.
He (or she) left the original room alive as promised.
I truly hate the MSM.
This young couple right now would have already started a family. I pray everyday that all my children never run into a pack of psychopaths like them.
The most recent was a high school shooter in Campbell County Tennessee who had killed one injured two. http://www.wbir.com/story/news/local/scott-campbell-morgan/2014/04/07/sentencing-for-campbell-county-hs-shooter-set-for-today/7410359/ He was released in an over tuned case with time served. The now adult kid has since been arrested at least once in the past month IIRC.
Knoxville has had it's murders. There was the Lilylid family who were returning from a Jehovah Witness convention & were murdered in cold blood all but their son as they stopped to help some kids who had car trouble and murdered them as thanks. The murdering teens were from Kentucky. There was the Torture/Murder in rural Union County of a mother and daughter one morning. A Juvie and an adult entered a home with a machete IIRC or ax and murdered them. The adult is next up for the needle I think Steve West was involved in that.
Amen to that. The media black-out on this story is particularly disturbing. All of them including the girl should be executed. There are no compelling reasons for any of them to take another breath.
...but...but...uh...hem...
TRAYVON!!!
Scum like these don’t deserve the needle. Hanging is too good for them either. And shooting.
They need to die by some Apache/Commanche torture death. Skin them alive. Stake them out and build fires on their abdomens. There are various wonderful Indian ways to execute them so that they will suffer.
And THEY SHOULD SUFFER!!!
