Lets Talk Chi Town 911

Wow, just wow

Well thought I would take a break from OEMCland and chat about something that just caught my attention. I was talking to a buddy the other day when it was brought up a story in Knoxville about a young couple who were tortured and murdered, I mean really bad. I went online to check it out myself and read up on the murders of Christopher Newsom and his girlfriend who were car jacked, tortured and killed. Their body parts cut off and if I remember reading right she was found in numerous bags. Anyway they have 4 or 5 men and 1 woman who are awaiting court appearances. But the odd part is there was no media coverage on this. Not at all. So you are telling me that Anna Nicole, some goofy news announcer's ignorant comments, a bogus rape, and whateve else is more important that this! If you get a chance , google Chritopher Newsom and read about his ordeal along with his girlfriend Channon, sad, just sad.

    Yes, I heard about this story also... through email on the internet. A friend sent it to me. The story itself sickens me!!! Those 2 victims suffered TERRIBLY. The subjects in custody should be sentenced to death when they are proven guilty in a court of law. But then again, after what they did to the boyfriend & girlfriend, torturing them the way they did, I think a needle in the arm would be too nice of a death for those animals !!! And WHY isn't there ANY MEDIA COVERAGE on this ????? Sickening. And considering the way the media has constantly talked about Don Imus' ignorant quite racist comments- maybe it should also be brought up that the victims in this Knoxville case were WHITE, and the offenders in custody are BLACK. Hhhhmmmmmmm. Why isnt Al Sharpton talking about the Knoxville murders on his radio show???????

    I am not sure if all the details are true but it did happen not too long ago. It didn't get a lot of attention. The "ringleader" had previous convictions and hadn't been out of jail that long if I remember correctly. They were caught in KY. The couple was car jacked in east Knoxville. I think her father might have been the one that found her abandoned vehicle. You might be able to pull it up in the archives of the Knoxville New Sentinel. They are right though, no national attention for these heinous crimes.

    The reason you're not hearing about that is because it's black on white crime. Think about the circus if it was white on black. God love the media. Keep votin democract everyone. It's really working great.

    another case that received almost no media coverage; a case referred to as the "wichita massacre"; articles can be found by using google, or www.wichita-massacre.com

    Yep, I'm gonna have to agree w/ 11:04. God forbid if it was the other way around. Jesse Jackson would be climbing off his mistress in record time to get down there to protest the crime. Just like that white boy that was beat up in Beverly. No "hate crime" label put upon the offenders, who were all black. Shame, shame. What they let people get away with nowadays.
