Well, it's not like AP made this up, is it?

" Weeks before the trial was set to begin, a Nazi group
held a rally in Topeka where the case was repeatedly
cited. "

The case has become a rallying cry for white supremacist groups across the nation because the suspects are black while all the victims were white. Weeks before the trial was set to begin, a Nazi group held a rally in Topeka where the case was repeatedly cited. ********

No, this case should be a rallying cry for all Americans to stop the PC insanity. No murder was ever committed without hate some where along the line. Calling a capital crime a "hate crime" is lunacy. To burry such a savage murder behind a PC cloak is criminal. For the press to try and minimalize this case because a "NAZI" group held a rally is criminal.

Unbelievable. You can literally see the author of the article thumbing through the liberal play-book, musing, "Hmmm. Court TV is picking up on this trial, so we can't ignore it forever. How can I spin this to make it look like it's no big deal, or that white people weren't picked for all sorts of hatred, humiliation and murder because of the color of their skin? I know! I'll ignore the dozens of mainstream Conservative articles pointing out the blatant double standard when it comes to the media's coverage of black-on-white crimes and focus on a few Nazis-- yes, NAZIS!-- that protested these black hate crimes!"

Problem solved. Roll the presses.

Given the outrages committed against the women, one would expect NOW to be all over the TV demanding justice. But I suppose they will say it was covered under the new "one free grope" rule they established for their boy Clinton.

Of course they would have no interest whatsoever in the men who were murdered.

Just an isolated incident. Not a hate crime. Nothing to see here, folks, move along, move along

Family of victims in quadruple killings identify stolen items


Associated Press

WICHITA, Kansas, Oct. 14 - Tania Muller stifled back tears on the witness stand Monday as she identified for prosecutors the silver watch that belonged to her slain sister.

     

     PROSECUTORS CLAIM HEATHER MULLER'S WATCH WAS FOUND in the apartment where police arrested one of the men accused of killing her.
     For more than two hours Monday, family members of four people who were killed in December 2000 identified for the court items that had belonged to their loved ones and were later found in Reginald Carr's apartment.
     Carr and his brother, Jonathan Carr, are on trial in Sedgwick County District Court for crimes stemming from a nine-day robbery and killing rampage.  Prosecutors are seeking the death penalty.
     Most of the charges stem from the events of Dec. 14-15, 2000, when five friends were abducted from a Wichita home, forced to engage in sexual acts and to withdraw money from ATMs before they all were shot.  Four of them, Aaron Sander, 29; Heather Muller, 25; Brad Heyka, 27; and Jason Befort, 26, died.  Befort's girlfriend, then a 25-year-old teacher, survived.
     The Carrs also are being tried in the Dec. 11, 2000, shooting of Ann Walenta, 55, who later died, and the Dec. 7, 2000, robbery in which Andrew Schreiber was abducted and forced to withdraw cash from ATMs.
     Amy Scott testified Monday that she dated Heyka, and was last at his house the morning of Dec. 14, 2000, the same day that two armed intruders later abducted and shot the three men who lived there and two other women who were visiting them at the time.
     Scott identified Heyka's bed comforter, his television set, his cordless phone and his clothes, among other things.
     Larry Heyka took the stand as well to identify his son's billfold.  The father identified for jurors the alarm clock he gave his son for Christmas after the younger Heyka had admired the identical one his father had in his office.
     Judy Sander also testified to identify the checkered scarf her son, Aaron, liked to wear with his gray coat.  She recognized the tool set and the barbecue set she had gotten him as Christmas gifts.
     Prosecutors brought television sets and computers into the courtroom on dollies.  They also brought in racks of clothing stolen from the victims' house after they were shot and left in a soccer field.
     Most of the items were entered into evidence as family members identified the belongings.
     In testimony earlier Monday, Schreiber recalled shaking when he saw a news report of the arrest of a man accused in the fatal shootings just days after he was robbed.
     Schreiber testified that he recognized Reginald Carr as one of two men who got in his car at a convenience store and forced him to withdraw cash from ATMs.
     On cross-examination, defense attorney John Val Wachtel played for Schreiber a news clip of the arrest in the four killings.  Schreiber testified it appeared to be the same KWCH-TV footage he had seen on Dec. 15, 2000.
     But District Judge Paul Clark twice refused to allow the news clip as defense evidence because attorneys did not establish that the video clip was the exact edited footage broadcast at the time Schreiber was watching television that day.
     Monday afternoon, Toni Greene told jurors that she was just being a nosey mother when she went through the jacket pockets of a young man her teenage daughter had met at the mall days earlier.
     She found a diamond engagement ring in the pocket of Jonathan Carr's leather jacket.  He was sleeping on her living room couch at the time.
     But it was not until later that day, when she heard on television that an engagement ring had been stolen from the victims of a quadruple homicide that morning, that she connected the ring and the car parked outside her house with the crime.
     Greene gathered her daughter, Tronda Adams and a niece and went to a neighbor's house across the street.
     "I was afraid," she testified.
     She called 911.
     "I told them the guy they are looking for is in my home," she said.
     Jonathan Carr bolted from the house when police arrived and was arrested a short distance away, just hours after his brother, Reginald Carr, was arrested at his apartment.
     On Monday, Greene identified on the witness the diamond ring she saw in Jonathan Carr's pocket that day.
     It was the ring prosecutors contend was the engagement ring Jason Befort planned to give his girlfriend, the sole survivor of the shootings that left four others dead.
     Greene also identified the brothers as the two men who had been at her house the night earlier as well, leaving together sometime between 8:30 p.m. and 9 p.m., just hours before two armed intruders broke into a Wichita house and abducted the five people.

AP Finally Reports Wichita Trial... But Mentions "White Supremacist" Support

That's because this crime WASN'T about RACE! It was about some ANIMALS raping and murdering other human beings.

Making a crime like this about race is something Al Sharpton, Jessie Jackson and the Klan would do...And that is why I dispise seeing all the Harpies on Free Republic making such a big deal about it...How many threads do we have on this subject? How many Freepers are going to use this case to scream RACISM when they decry liberals for doing the very same thing?

I am ashamed by the large number of Freepers making such a big deal over this...Making such a big deal about the race of the murderers, that is. It leads me to believe that many of the people doing so are, in fact, racists or white supremists themselves...We've got way too many of these kind of people on Free Republic, in my opinion...And they taint us all with their views.
