In a case that's been widely ignored by the mainstream media, justice prevailed today as Letalvis Cobbins was found guilty of the vast majority of charges, including that of first-degree murder. Cobbins was one of a group of thugs who carjacked, then raped, tortured and murdered two Knoxville residents. For more on the story, see the Knoxville News-Sentinel. http://digg.com/d311xYc
Are they going to the gas chamber? That would be the only good news.
Suppose there’s any chance the MSM will cover this even now?
Not one.
Possibly, in about 20 years.
I read about this case when it first happened. Perp deserves to be thrown into one of Vick’s dog kennels.
I’m going to intentionally watch CNN and MSNBC tonight, so I can get full coverage of this case.

Be sure to bring a good book and popcorn. It is going to be a long night....like watching the Red Sox!
This society is much better off with these people behind bars.
The only way the MSM will cover this story is if a mob busts Letalvis Cobbins out of jail and they find him hanging from a bridge support the next morning.
But, then THAT would be a “hate” crime.
This is the first I have heard of this case. These guys were animals.
Lethal injection is too good for these people.

AP has a story on it - where it goes from there, who knows.
They need to turn them over to Channon’s dad. Anytime I see him here on the local news, he’s the picture that would go next to the word “tightly wound.”
I believe the jury consists of 7 blacks, 4 white and an Asian.
Good for them, doing justice without reference to race.
I’ve never been more disappointed in my life than on the day the jury acquitted OJ because he was rich, famous and black.
I'm sure any year now, Jessie and Al and the ACLU will be screaming “Hate Crime” and “No Justice No Peace”
There was a similar murder by a gang of black men & women of a white woman that they kidnapped raped, then scrubbed with Clorox and wire brushes before killing her. It barely made the national news and you had to read to the end. Even with the killers admitting their motive was race, it was considered a “local story”.
Sadly, the fact that these horrible crimes are all but covered up by the media sends the signal that racism, even brutal racism is okay, as long as the victim is white.

So...how in the hell was this NOT a hate crime?
Minorities are incapable of hate. Only whites can hate.
Personally, I don’t like hate crime legislation - anything that elevates one group above another because of the nature of that group is wrong.
That being said though - if you’re going to charge for hate crimes, you might as well charge every case of one race against another race as a hate crime - until they get rid of hate crime laws.
Yeah...exactly!
Why do these laws only work one way?
Our politicians are idiots.
