Court TV to air 'Wichita horror'

THE WASHINGTON TIMES ^ | September 18, 2002 | Jennifer Harper

A notorious murder case that some observers say has been ignored because the victims are not minorities finally comes to court — and television. The "Wichita horror" trial will be broadcast by Court TV once jury selection is complete late this week.

Good post. A thank-you-for-posting-this bump.

[GaryMontana]

Excellent Post.

Where is Jesse Jackson and AL Sharpton?
They are silent. Had this been whites harming blacks this story would have been all over the media!

Once again Jesse Jackson and AL Sharpton show their true colors. They don't care about black hate crimes on whites. They are pure racists and should be treated as such.

[brat]

This case should be passed along to Fox. I don't recall hearing anything about it.

[cherry]

as I recall the story...these fine upstanding young men also attacked other people...all white of course....but no, it was not racial...no, not even close.....(/sarcasm)

[Judith Anne]

Gary, the details of this crime are absolutely horrible, and that is no exaggeration. From what I have heard from relatives in Wichita, there was indeed a racial component in the crime--hate against the white victims, simply because they were white.

If black leaders actually cared about harmony between the races, they would be out in force condemning these perpetrators. Instead, as you say, there is only silence.

[Judith Anne]

I'll see if I can find a site with the story for you.

[hmmmmm]

Thank you for posting this! As a state we rank about 50 in everything but hopefully this case will rattle some cages in the other 49. Hate crimes don't have a direction and barbarism knows no color. My hope is that justice will be done yet I've a feeling that the "PC" crowd will find a way....

I did a Google search, the FrontPage Magazine links no longer work....I then did a Free Republic search and found articles with a skeletal factual account of this absolutely demonic, unspeakable horror.

[Born on the Storm King]

Right On---bump this! It's about time this vile and disgusting murder got some media attention!

[Judith Anne]

Thanks martin.

[hmmmmm]

Justice isn't necessarily judicious, unfortunately.

[Coeur de Lion]

You weren't supposed to hear anything about it. It's like the Jesse Dirkhiser case you're not supposed to hear about 2 homosexuals killing a young kid for their own pleasure. By the way they got life in prison, whereas Matthew Shepard's murderers who actual left him while he was still alive got death. Now, I won't go into the Wichita Horror. In either case you're not to know about these things. The liberal biased press doesn't find these stories newsworthy. I suggest you visit Frontpagemag.com and you can read all about.

[Free Trapper]

It's past time for our Nation to be given some truth rather than constant PCBS.

[Free Trapper]

There are so many crimes ignored because they don't fit the PC line it would be hard to list them all.

Sad.

Thank you Court TV.

SCENARIO: jackson, sharpton, far-a-kan(?), become even more assertive with demands for reparations...we attack iraq...muslims revolt en masse world wide...so called muslim cells in US commit frequent acts of terrorism...police depts. become undermanned...far-ah-khan begins to welcome surge of new recruits to noi in very large numbers(already have a great start)...jackson & sharpton decide have waited for reparations long enough...LA type gang(existing & newly formed) suddenly get religion and begin murderous attacks on middle and upper class neighborhoods in name of allah and koran...balkanization is now considered as cure to muslim "problem" at homeland...iraqi war proliferates to nearby countries...hell, i'm paranoid and have a sick racist imagination...there can't be any way that this wichita type slaughter of whites by blacks could ever happen again...especially on a large scale...right?

[Free Trapper]

Thanks for the links.

These crimes were sick enough that I'm wondering if there should be warnings on the threads.:(

[sweetliberty]

"Where is Jesse Jackson and AL Sharpton?"

Well, obviously the court TV people are just racist pigs that want to incite hate crimes against blacks. /sarcasm

[hot august night]

One of the most frustrating parts of this vile, vicious crime is that at one point the surviving woman had the opportunity to get one of the guns, because one of the $cumbuckets had left it on the floor, but she said she didn't make a grab for it because she wasn't sure how to shoot it. If she had gotten it and used it, just maybe they all would have had a fighting chance.

What's even more amazing is that I know several women who are professionally successful, intelligent, are in their 40s, and own their own homes. When I try to talk each of them into getting a gun for protection, they outright dismiss it. ("I could NEVER get a gun...I could NEVER shoot anyone...It's TOO DANGEROUS", etc...). They are under the naive belief that ADT and Slomin's will save them if the home alarms are tripped by an intruder. Sad to say, if they ever do change their minds and want a gun, it will be because it is too late and they've already become rape victims or victims of other violent crimes.

Hey, you're welcome. :`)

I've been waiting a long time for this trial to start and I'll be following it all the way through to the end (death sentence).

And thanks to Court TV, this horrid case might finally receive the national attention it's due.

[GaryMontana]

Sadly as time goes by people will start to recognize that the black population is far more racist, just like the hispanic race is far more prejudice than the white race.

Imagine being a white person walking alone through harlem, after a day you would be dead. Yet if you were black going through my home state Montana, nothing would happen to you if you were black.

[slowhandluke]

I could not find any info on this on the www.courttv.com site. A search for 'carr' gave 19 hits, but none were about this case.

Can anyone provide a valid URL?

[inflorida]

I just read the story and now I'm sick to my stomach.

[Sweet_Sunflower29]

Thank you for the link to that stunning story-

[martin_fierro]

You're welcome -- glad you were apparently able to stomach it.

Not that they needed one, but I e-mailed a heads-up to FOX News this morning, requesting that they give some much-needed attention to these hate crimes - and to the dearth of "mainstream" media coverage thereof.

[f.Christian]

wow...court tv---good news!

[Joe Brower]

"Hang 'em high" bump. No mercy to be wasted on such as these.

[Palladin]

Another bump...this one for the victims. May they rest in peace. And may the vicious scum who did this burn in hell forever.
