The Killers of Channon Christian and her boyfriend Chris Newsom
The Killings of Channon Christian and Chris Newsom
"Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere." - Martin Luther King Jr.

Race is a touchy subject in America. In fact it's an obsession. When I ended up with this picture (click here) via an e-mail chat group, I was skeptical. After all, I live in Bristol Virginia/Tennessee only 90 miles from Knoxville. This horror story never made it into the local press that I know of. Anna Nicole Smith, the Duke Rape Case fraud, and Imus drowned us out. If it had been reported, it was certain we would never know the race of the felons, or that at least one of the five was a released felon. Because of the explosive issue of race, accusations of media bias, and lack of information from Knoxville authorities, we have far more than just two wonderful young people slaughtered by some savages. It's a political correctness freak show.

From the "news"

Quoting an article by James H. Lilley, also stated in other blogs, etc:

On Saturday January 6, 2007 Hugh Christopher Newsom, age 23 and Channon Gail Christian, age 21, both students at the University of Tennessee went out on a date. They were driving in Channon's Toyota 4-Runner when they were carjacked at gunpoint. Suddenly the crime turned far more savage than an armed car theft. Chris and Channon were kidnapped and driven to 2316 Chipman Street where they were forced into the home at gunpoint. While Channon was forced to watch, her boyfriend was raped prison style and then his penis was cut off. He was later driven to nearby railroad tracks where he was shot and set afire. But Channon's hell was just beginning. She was beaten; gang raped repeatedly in many ways, had one of her breasts cut off and bleach poured down her throat to destroy DNA evidence-all while she was still alive. To add to Channon's degradation the suspects took turns urinating on her. They too set her body afire, apparently inside the residence, but for some reason left her body there-in five separate trash bags...

No wonder the police were not releasing this information if it's true. (Turns out part of it wasn't) There are endless conflicting news reports on this story. Also, it has been reported by some this was a crack house where people came and went that nobody tried to help them or call police. For the whole article from Mr. Lilly see click here.

Press plays the Race Card Again

Now the Associated Press (August 17, 2009) plays the race card again. To quote, A jury was brought in for the case from Davidson County, 150 miles away, in an unusual move to ensure jurors weren't tainted by pretrial publicity. They are sequestered in a hotel and barred by the judge from following news coverage of the trial. The victims were white and middle class, and the defendants are poor and black. Some conservative Internet commentators and white supremacist agitators accused the national media of reverse discrimination by failing to give the case the same attention paid to white-on-black hate crimes.

First the social class of the victims doesn't have a damn thing to do with this. The usual liberal racist' nonsense is to imply all minority criminals because they are "poor" or "down trodden" and whatever somehow excuses their behavior. On the other hand the victims being better off somehow had it coming to them or as the liberal racists always imply, the criminal actions of a "coward" like Cobbins is rooted in a racist' white society.

The same press went into a frenzy at the time over Imus' comments about the Rutgers girls basketball team, a total non-crime, and participated in the press lynching of three white members of the Duke lacrosse team over the non-rape of a black prostitute. The press, Jackson, Sharpton, etc. never even offered an apology.

In another biased news report:
Conservative commentators and Internet bloggers latched onto the Christian-Newsom killings soon after the crimes occurred. They demonized the national media for ignoring what they considered a black-on-white hate crime and contrasted it to the heavily reported white-on-black Duke lacrosse rape case. But two rallies in Knoxville in 2007 led by white supremacist sympathizers were met with significant anti-protester response and failed to gain traction. No demonstrations are expected now.
Knoxville's black community has had problems with selective enforcement by police, but that is in the past, said Knoxville NAACP president Sheryl Rollins, an attorney. "In no way does the NAACP condone or support anybody - black, white, Chinese, greenies, whatever - that would do what those people (allegedly) did to those children," she said.

The "white supremacists" were a whopping total of three people. Everyone else protesting this news bias got lumped in with these three. The reason the three got no traction is they represented nobody because they were just idiots trying to take advantage of the situation. As for Sheryl Rollins, that was the same racist' NAACP that lynched the Duke lacrosse players in the press and never apologized for it. See My Disclaimer against racists

But to quote Dr. Walter Williams:
What have we heard from the NAACP, Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton and others who rushed to judgment and outrage as they condemned whites in the cases of the "Jena 6" and Don Imus when he referred to the Rutgers ladies basketball team as "nappy-headed ho's"? Where were the national news media and public officials? You can bet the rent money that were the victims black and the perpetrators white, Knoxville would have been inundated with TV crews, with Jackson, Sharpton and other civil rights spokesmen and politicians from both parties condemning racism, possibly blaming it all on George Bush...

Police and the justice system are not biased against minorities as this Knoxville case has proven in fact the opposite. But that doesn't lesson the crime problem.

As a disclaimer to white racists reading this material let me be clear this doesn't represent most black people. We have plenty of shiftless criminal whites here in Appalachia that is no different than many black criminals. Let's not forget the fringe of white criminals that often surround people such as these. The whites that buy/deal in illegal drugs or white elite’s that refuse to demand law enforcement in black communities to protect innocent black people (the majority) bear some of the blame. Again I will ask where was the Knoxville police who should have been cleaning out this massive crime wave in poor communities? It's about time good black people take control of their communities and not wait for white liberal racists who have no interest in solving anything.

-----------------------------------------------

The five indicted were:

Letalvis "Rome" Cobbins, 24, (b. December 20, 1982) also faces the same 46 charges as Thomas. In 2003, Cobbins was convicted of third-degree attempted robbery in New York state. He and Davidson are brothers. He has also been charged with assaulting a correctional officer while incarcerated pending trial. He was convicted on August 25, 2009 of 33 of the 37 counts against him. Given Life without the possibility of Parole. See Cobbins Trial

Lemaricus Devall "Slim" Davidson, 25, (b. June 13, 1981) faces the same 46 charges as Thomas. Davidson had also completed serving a five-year sentence in Tennessee on a previous felony conviction for carjacking and aggravated robbery on August 5, 2006. He was convicted on October 28, 2009 of 46 charges (three of which were not guilty on the indicted charge, but guilty on a lesser included charge). He was sentenced by the Knoxville jury on October 30, 2009 to the death penalty (lethal injection) See below for trial details.

George Geovonni "Detroit" Thomas, 27, faces a total of 46 charges. Thomas was indicted on 16 counts of felony murder growing out of the rape, robbery, kidnapping, and theft of Christian and Newsom, 2 counts of premeditated murder, 2 counts of especially aggravated robbery, 4 counts of especially aggravated kidnapping, 20 counts of aggravated rape, and 2 counts of theft. Will be tried next.

Vanessa Coleman, 18, was arrested by the Lebanon Police Department in Lebanon, Kentucky. She faces 40 Tennessee state charges. Coleman was indicted on 12 counts of felony murder growing out of the rape, robbery, kidnapping, and theft of Christian and Newsom, 1 count of premeditated murder (of Christian only), 1 count of especially aggravated robbery (of Newsom only), 4 counts of especially aggravated kidnapping, 20 counts of aggravated rape, and 2 counts of theft. She will be tried last.

In each indictment, the large number of rape counts were included to provide a range of options for prosecutors, not to reflect the number of rapes which actually occurred.

Further, Eric DeWayne "E" Boyd, 34, was arrested in connection with the fatal carjacking, though not indicted by the Knox County grand jury. Still, Boyd was charged in United States district court as an accessory after the fact for helping the suspects evade the police. Later, Boyd was also accused by Thomas and Cobbins of rape and murder, and a search warrant was obtained for his DNA. The accusations did not result in charges. See Boyd Found Guilty.

Update on Cobbins

Letalvis Cobbins will serve his life sentence in medium security prison and that has prompted some questions as to how that decision is made. As for why Cobbins was placed in medium security, state officials said every inmate is given a custody assessment when they are first brought into the system. In Cobbins' assessment at the Charles Bass Correctional Complex, he was rated at medium on the incarceration level.

Most inmates are initially given a medium classification when entering the system. Because of Cobbins' felony murder conviction, he will never be dropped to a minimum-security level, meaning he will never be allowed outside the fence. As long as he makes no trouble, he will work for 17 cents an hour at a prison job or attend classes. (Classes for what?) He can roam the facility.

His "brother" Lemaricus Davidson is charged with felony murder and the premeditated murders of Christian and Newsom.
-----------------------------------------------

Lemaricus Davidson

Lemaricus Davidson Goes on Trial

DNA Controversy

Among the mountain of forensic evidence are the many DNA samples from the body and cloths of Channon Christian. The DNA from two unidentified men has been discovered on Channon Christian's underwear. According to the motion filed on October 8 Chris Newsom and every defendant in the case were excluded as contributors to the DNA found on Christian's panties.

Officials found Channon Christian's DNA on her underwear along with an unidentified man's DNA. According to a report Christian's DNA overpowered the male DNA and TBI doesn't have the ability to separate the DNA to identify the male donor, a private lab performing the analysis. Bickering over money for DNA tests has delayed Lemaricus Davidson's trial from September 29 to October.

Nothing seems to have come from this as of this writing. There was hope they could link Eric Boyd to the murder. Boyd was convicted on federal charges of carjacking, etc. He has never been charged in the deaths of Christian or Newsom. He has been ruled out.
-----------------------------------------------

Death threats

Davidson's attorneys David Eldridge and Doug Trant say they have received death threats for months. The threats intensified when the Davidson trial was delayed on September 29th. That was due to some bickering over money to run more DNA tests.

Doug Trant: "So we take it seriously, obviously it's upsetting they're threatening our families as well as us." "If we can catch them they will be prosecuted." "By doing that you know we may have our families and our own lives to pay for it." "When they say something like how would you like your daughter raped and put in a garbage can, that's just totally uncalled for." "And let me say this we are not going to be intimidated we have both been doing this a long time, we know what our job is we're going to do our job and if somebody's trying to intimidate us, whoever they may be it's not going to work."

David Eldridge: "Neither Doug or I sought this case but when we take a job and we commit to the court that we are going to undertake that representation then we're going to do our very best. We're playing a role that the constitution provides for and it's a role that we should all value." Another witness that wanted cameras removed if she was forced to testify for fear of her life. The judge ruled she didn't have to.

This is uncalled for. It's the duty of Mr. Eldridge and Mr. Trant to defend their client. This website denounces this behavior in the strongest possible terms. While I'd like to see all of these criminals put to death if convicted, they also get due process so get over it.
-----------------------------------------------

Defense Attacks Victims

Davidson's lawyers are disputing felony murder charges by claiming Christian/Newsom were at the Chipman Street drug house to buy dope, and no kidnapping or robbery happened. They were there willingly.

Toxicology tests showed a small amount of alcohol in Christian's system and a mix of marijuana and amphetamines in Newsom's system. Defense attorney Eldridge told jurors in his opening statement that the "gang from Kentucky" (Letalvis Cobbins, Davidson's brother, George Thomas and Vanessa Coleman) killed the young couple. They planted "all the evidence conveniently to be found in Mr. Davidson's home."

It turns out Newsom's best friend Josh Anderson told how he went looking for Newsom and Christian and found Newsom's pickup truck still in the parking lot at some apartments. He took out a set of golf clubs. (According to his mother he played golf all day Saturday before the faithful night.) Davidson's lawyer Doug Trant asked Anderson what else he took out of the truck. Anderson confessed he and a buddy removed Newsom's "weed" from his truck.

Trant later went on and asked Kara Sowards, Channon Christian's best friend, about a marijuana pipe found her apartment and about a bottle of hydrocodone pills found in Christian's SUV. She said the dope pipe wasn't hers and someone else "accidentally" left the pills in Channon's Four Runner.

The Newsom family had some words to say to defense attorney Doug Trant during a court recess. (I don't know what.) Judge Baumgartner blasted the Newsoms for the comments and warned the families they are not to approach the lawyers, talk to the media or public about this trial. Gary Christian said, "I feel like I just walked head on into Iraq, that's how I feel." And Deena Christian said, "We have no rights."

The parents of both victims are wearing their kid's pictures in court. The Defense objected earlier and asked for the buttons to be removed. Judge Baumgartner ruled the picture buttons could stay.
-----------------------------------------------

The Parents Take the Stand

Now the parents defend their kids and take the stand. Mary Newsom goes first. Defense attorney Doug Trant asked Mary Newsom in relation to Chris' drug use, "You don't know where your son bought his marijuana do you?" "I didn't know he smoked marijuana," she answered. Trant continued, "You don't know where he bought his amphetamines?" "I didn't know he took that either," she answered. She also said they didn't have to go to North Knoxville (where the killings took place) to get drugs because they are everywhere.

DA Fitzgerald bought out two paint cans and removed Chris' shoes. She identified them as belonging to her son. She said he had a "shoe fetish" and bought new shoes all the time. These were purchased November 28, 2006 for $135. Daphne Sutton and her pal Kassi Suttles later claimed Davidson was wearing Newsom's shoes and the shoes were found at the house where he was arrested. But Davidson wears a size 12 and Newsom wore size 9 1/2. Kassi Suttles claimed the shoes worn by Lemaricus Davidson were "dark blue" while the real color was silver and black. More on this Daphne later.

Now it gets better. Channon's mother Deena Christian told what she knew about Newsom's dope smoking. She said she knew about it, and on the issue of Chris using adderall, she answered, "I didn't know he did that but it doesn't surprise me." She claimed people can get adderall "just about anywhere" and her son Chase had a prescription for it and Channon also took it when cramming for a test. She let her daughter go out with a boy she knew was smoking dope?

The outraged parents said, "This is a murder trial. Channon and Chris were the ones that were murdered they shouldn't put the kids on trial," said Mrs. Christian. Those kids were totally innocent, completely innocent. They're not the one who should be on trial right now. Davidson is the one who should be on trial right now," added Mr. Newsom.
-----------------------------------------------

The Prosecution decided to go head-on against defense allegations that Christian and Newsom may have used drugs. Friends of Christian and Newsom claimed they didn't know where Chipman Street in North Knoxville was located. They claimed they never heard of Chipman Street.

Davidson was arrested at an abandoned home at 1800 Reynolds Street on January 11, 2007. Police say Davidson changed his story 4 times during an interview after arrest. He said he blamed himself for pressuring his brother Letalvis Cobbins to get some money.

The transcripts indicate Davidson cried and blamed George Thomas for Chris Newsom's murder and his brother Letalvis Cobbins for the carjacking Channon Christian and Chris Newsom. He said he panicked when he saw Christian tied up. He said she told him she didn't want to die and he left. Then he used Channon's SUV to deliver drugs to some of his customers and admitted to using drugs himself. He admitted being a gang member. To quote Davidson,
"...(sniff)...well that's what l'm worried about cause that's what I...that's...that's...that's...that's what I'm owning up to that's what...that's what I know is mine and I know l had something to do with is that right there. Selling dope. that's what I do sell dope. I don't kill people though."
Davidson claimed he never saw the couple before the killing anywhere in the area. Others put him behind the wheel of Channon's SUV. Daniel Williams was a drug customer of Davidson's and went to the Chipman Street house to buy cocaine. He claimed seeing Davidson driving Channon's SUV. He said, "Slim (Davidson) was driving. He stopped. He said, 'I don't have anything.' Two other (men) got out of the vehicle. When I asked him where he got the car, he said he bought it for $4500." He was confused from drugs and mixed up the dates: "The days and dates I could not tell you." Davidson's ex-girl friend Daphne Sutton also placed him behind the wheel.

Quoting defense attorney David Eldridge on DNA: "All the DNA evidence in this case, all it's going to show you at the end of this trial is that Mr. Davidson had vaginal, vaginal intercourse with Ms. Christian."

He is trying to suggest the sex between Christian and Davidson was consensual and that semen in Christian's anal area was "drainage" from the vaginal area, where his DNA also was found. He said in the opening that Davidson had "vaginal intercourse" with Channon Christian. He also went on about the presence of Davidson's DNA on the inside crotch of Channon's jeans. He asked a Prosecution witness, "It would certainly be possible that Ms. Christian put her pants back on after sexual contact, correct?" he asked. "Yes," TBI agent Millsaps answered.

Channon Christian was found naked from the waist down stuffed inside a trashcan at the Chipman Street house wearing only a camisole and a sweater. A Tennessee Bureau of Investigation forensic scientist said he found bleach on torture slaying victim Channon Christian's cloths. This backs up Vanessa Coleman that alleged ringleader Lemaricus Davidson/others poured cleaning solution down Christian's throat in a bid to wash away DNA evidence of oral rape. This jury won't hear about Coleman's claim because higher courts have ruled one statement from one witness can't boost the statement of another witness. This is a big problem for the prosecution.

On the trash bags Channon was found in a TBI agent said, "I verified and I am a 100 percent sure those palm prints do belong to Lemaricus Davidson." When asked if the bags ever had trash in them said, "They were more like lawn bags than bags you put garbage in."

Knox County Medical Examiner Dr. Darinka Mileusnic-Polchan said Newsom died first, likely within a few hours of the couple's alleged abduction. She said he was raped, an attack which included use of an object, at least an hour before he was bound and gagged and led to his death. He was shot three times, with the fatal shot an execution-style contact wound to the head. His body was later burned. She said Christian's attack spanned hours and included repeated rapes, blows to the head, grabs to her arms, kicking blows to her vaginal area and a cut on her hand. She said Christian suffocated inside the trashcan in which her body was found. One person fainted from hearing the horrific evidence and all hell broke loose.

The Prosecution wanted to show that the Christian/Newsom murders were part of a running crime spree. TBI Agent Linda Littlejohn testified that strips of cloth used to bind Newsom and fabric pieces found near his body came from the same material used to cover and bind Christian's body. She also was able to show how the material had been ripped to form the bindings. Another "expert testified Davidson's palm prints were on three of five trash bags wrapped on the body of Christian."

Knoxville Police Dept. firearms expert Patricia Resig said "that she could say with certainty that two of the three bullets fired into Newsom's body came from the same gun and the third one, identified as the kill shot, might have." But, "She could not, however, make a definitive match between those bullets and a gun found in Davidson's possession when he was arrested. She said she could not rule out the gun as having been the murder weapon.

Daphne Sutton

Davidson sat stony-face when Daphne Sutton testified. She is a white drug addict and the niece of a Knoxville policeman. During the earlier Boyd trial Boyd claimed she was in on the killing, but they refused to charge her because she is white. In October 2006, Daphne Sutton and Lemaricus Davidson moved into 2316 Chipman Street.

Daphne Sutton claimed she moved out of the house after Cobbins, Thompson, and Coleman moved in. She moved out on January 5, 2007. She then claimed two days later Davidson called her and, "He told me he had some clothes for me and to come over." When she got there he refused to let into the kitchen and said Vanessa Coleman was in the bathroom. (This is where police believe Channon was being held.) She claimed Davidson told her Boyd had converted to Islam in prison and hated white people. He was in on the original car jacking.

She got the clothing as gifts, which was later identified to be Channon's and left. She later called back whining the cloths were used. When Davidson came to pick up the cloths she saw him in "a Toyota 4Runner with stickers on the back identical to the stickers on Christian's SUV." Davidson was using Channon's cell phone.

There is controversy over Channon's cell phone use while she was being tortured and killed. Cellular phone records show that someone called her voice mail three times on Jan. 7, 2007 - at 3 a.m., again at 1:32 p.m. and a final time at 1:37 p.m. Did Lemaricus Davidson make the calls? Or was it Channon? Would she have given Davidson her password?

David Eldridge and Doug Trant suggested again that Channon and Chris went willingly with the killers to buy drugs and were not carjacked. They argue Channon alone would have known her password. Regardless of the arguing most of the cell phone records were verified going to sleaze Daphne Sutton Davidson's ex "ho" and her druggie friends.

During her testimony she revealed just what kind of low-life she and these people are. She first met drug dealer Lemaricus Davidson when he was banging one of her low-life friends. They broke up and she moved in. She is a drug addict as she testified on the witness stand. She was 22 at the time and took her two children (boy/girl ages 2 and 3) and moved into the crack house she and Davidson rented on 2316 Chipman Street. Where the hell were social services?

As she testified she banged Davidson in the "north" bedroom while these babies slept in the "south" bedroom. She said Lemaricus only smoked "weed" when they moved in, but soon started using cocaine. She was hooked on oxycodine. She started doing drugs with friends, usual story. The furniture in the house was hers and she took with her when she left Davidson. She claimed Davidson beat her up and the presence of the "Kentucky gang" made things worse.
-----------------------------------------------

Demands for a Mistrial

During Dr. Darinka Mileusnic-Polchan's testimony about Channon Christian's injuries, a Ms. Manning fainted and the jury was sent out of the courtroom.

David Eldridge: "We feel compelled to move for a mistrial. The jury has seen someone in a very visible way react to the evidence that we had previously objected to, we think that is the kind of prejudice that can not be overcome."

The judge denied the defense's motion for a mistrial on Saturday morning October 23, 2009. Then Judge Baumgartner informed Davidson that he must decide by Monday if he is going to take the stand. The judge reminded Davidson that he has the right to testify or not testify and only he can make that decision. But Baumgartner also warned Davidson that if he takes the stand, the prosecution could ask him about his aggravated robbery charge in January 2001.

Davidson pleaded guilty to a carjacking and aggravated robbery that happened in Jackson, Tennessee on September 6, 2000. Witnesses say they saw Davidson and another man steal a woman's SUV at a gas station. The victim, Catherine Hall identified Davidson as the man who pointed a gun in her face and demanded her SUV and took her money. Davidson served more than 5 years of his 8-year sentence in the West Tennessee State Penitentiary. He was released 5 months before officers arrested and charged him with the murders of Christian and Newsom.

In September, Judge Baumgartner ruled that the prosecution would not be able to bring up Davidson's previous carjacking conviction. Davidson decided not to take the stand and his lawyers will present closing arguments on October 27. The Prosecution rested on October 26.

On October 28, 2009, Lemaricus Davidson was found guilty on all counts. He was found not guilty on three counts of the aggravated rape of Christopher Newsom, but was found guilty of the lesser-included charges of facilitation of rape. On October 30, 2009 after the jury had deliberated approx. 3 hours, Lemaricus Davidson was sentenced to death.

The above was based on news reports, police reports, and videos of those on the witness stand.
-----------------------------------------------

Crime Rates:

  • Blacks are seven times more likely than people of other races to commit murder, and eight times more likely to commit robbery.
  • When blacks commit crimes of violence, they are nearly three times more likely than non-blacks to use a gun, and more than twice as likely to use a knife.
  • Hispanics commit violent crimes at roughly three times the white rate, and Asians commit violent crimes at about one quarter the white rate.
  • The single best indicator of violent crime levels in an area is the percentage of the population that is black and Hispanic.


Interracial Crime: Of the nearly 770,000 violent interracial crimes committed every year involving blacks and whites, blacks commit 85 percent and whites commit 15 percent.
  • Blacks commit more violent crime against whites than against blacks. Forty-five percent of their victims are white, 43 percent are black, and 10 percent are Hispanic. When whites commit violent crime, only three percent of their victims are black.
  • Blacks are an estimated 39 times more likely to commit a violent crime against a white than vice versa, and 136 times more likely to commit robbery.
  • Blacks are 2.25 times more likely to commit officially-designated hate crimes against whites than vice versa.

Gangs:
  • Only 10 percent of youth gang members are white.
  • Hispanics are 19 times more likely than whites to be members of youth gangs.
  • Blacks are 15 times more likely, and Asians are nine times more likely.

Incarceration:
  • Between 1980 and 2003 the US incarceration rate more than tripled, from 139 to 482 per 100,000, and the number of prisoners increased from 320,000 to 1.39 million.
  • Blacks are seven times more likely to be in prison than whites. Hispanics are three times more likely.

If anybody doubts this then watch the TV show 'Cops' and notice the color of most of the criminals. (The program was denounced as racist by some.) But to quote the study and this trial will prove it: "This widely-held view that the police are biased is not supported by the evidence. The data suggest the criminal justice system generally treats offenders of different races equally. High arrest and incarceration rates for blacks and Hispanics-and very low rates for Asians-reflect differences in crime rates, not police or justice system bias." The entire report I quoted was denounced as racist, but facts are simply not racism. See The Color of Crime (pdf)

Blacks per-capita Commit More Hate Crimes

The State Police crime report for 2008 does reveal racism, but not the kind of racism they want to discuss.

Blacks make up 20 percent of the Virginia population; black males say 10 percent. In the sections where crime was reported by race, Hispanics and illegal aliens are counted as white thus inflating the white crime rate. (They commit 3-4 times the white crime rate, I excluded Asians.)

On sexual offences whites are 72 percent of the victims, black males committed 37.3 percent of the offences. Black males commit 80 percent of the robberies. Blacks commit 53 percent of the assaults and 54 percent of the car thefts. Black males alone commit 56 percent of the violent crime, with black females 63 percent.

Now the hate crime statistics for 2005-2008 are the real shocker. Almost two-thirds of the victims are white, but almost two-thirds of the hate crime charges are against whites. In 2008 153 whites were victims of hate crimes while 99 blacks were victims. Yet 73% of the Virginia population is white while the black population is just under 20%. But 128 whites were charged with hate crimes with only 99 black victims. Only 72 blacks were charged with hate crimes, less than half the number of white victims. That's consistent year after year and it's clearly anti-white racism. Be aware that the definition of hate crimes have been expanded to the absurd. Of most of the race offences (185) only 72 were assault, most of the rest property crimes. Per-capita blacks commit far more hate crimes than whites do even though police are loath to even charge non-whites for hate crimes at all.

The Virginia white population is 5,671,432. 128 white offenders commit one hate crime for 44,308 white people.

The Virginia black population is 1,546,048. 72 black offenders commit one hate crime for 21,472 black people.

Blacks per-capita commit more than twice the hate crimes of whites.

More race killings ignored by the press and the race hustlers: Where are you Reverend Sharpton?
--------------------------------------------------------------

Quoting Nicholas Stix, AR News, May 14, 2007, he claimed the Knoxville police won't give him the cause of death either. (I tried too.)

Police and reporters have promoted the view that this crime was a simple carjacking that got out of hand, and that the rapists poured cleaning fluid down Miss Christian's throat to destroy DNA evidence. This appears to be wrong on both counts. The killers ditched Miss Christian's SUV just a few hours after they stole it, which suggests they had no great interest in it. Also, according to court documents, they had already planned on killing Miss Christian, so they could have used the cleaning fluid after she was dead. They did not bother to "clean" her vagina and anus, which were stuffed with DNA evidence. It appears to this reporter that the carjacking was just a way to kidnap, gang rape, torture, and murder whites, and that the killers used the cleaning fluid for the sole purpose of further torturing Miss Christian.

This comment at www.vdare.com from a reader in Knoxville, Tennessee:

Here we go again, the depths of depravity are pushed deeper by black hooligans in sleepy Knoxville, TN. First they were just going to carjack, then they decided to abduct and take the couple back to the criminal's house. So they tied them up, beat the boyfriend in front of his girl, shoot him, pour gasoline on him and lit him on fire. They disposed of his body near some railroad tracks. Next, it is her turn as they rape and sodomize her for several days, maybe as many as four black men took part! They pour drain cleaner into her throat to clean up the evidence, wrap her in plastic and throw her into their garbage can outside their house. Except that they didn't know she was alive! She later died from the cold. No mention of the perpetrator's or victim's ancestry is mentioned. Although in Knoxville, their faces are all on the news channels...

News reports (here) confirm some of this person's comments. As I monitored the local news in my area where they do often publish pictures, one fact stands out; while non-whites make up about 5% of the region's population, they account for 40% of the crime. (This is an unofficial figure!) This figure was given to me by local police, off the record. Of concern as well in the last five years is the explosion of Hispanic crime including in 2007 (first three months) two attempted child abductions, drug running and gang style shootings, child rape, and kidnapping. In fact one local Hispanic has been sentenced to death for murdering his cell mate. The region is being flooded with illegal aliens as employers refusing to pay a living wage import them by the bus load. See Illegal Aliens in East Tennessee. They are counted as white, and don't show up in Tennessee crime stats.

As of this news article, even with trial dates set, to quote: "Groups wondering why prosecutors haven't demanded the death penalty yet. "We've had some discussions of course, we're still putting evidence together," says Knox County District Attorney General Randy Nichols." I'm wondering the same.

Accusations of biased press coverage

A blogger had this to say, "Is race a factor?" in regards to the Knoxville horror:

Still others see a more sinister hand at work. The suspects who have been apprehended for the horrific crime against those two young people are black; the victims were white. Many seem to think that the race of the alleged perpetrators is the issue. Had the perpetrators been white, and the victims black, they say, the case would be all over the television and newspapers. Many cite the much-publicized dragging death of James Byrd, Jr. as an example. Also troubling, according to some, is the contrast between the national media coverage of the alleged Duke rape case and this one. Visitors to the blogs I viewed also cited similarities between this case and the Wichita Massacre, a black-on-white rape/torture/murder in 2000, and other little-known cases as proof of a recent history of "blacking out" certain news stories.

See The Wichita Massacre by Stephen Webster, American Renaissance, July 16, 2002.

In addition, to quote from the West Virginia case where they can't press hate crime charges because the "victim" knew her captor, "She was not a random target, prosecutor Brian Abraham said Wednesday. She had a "social relationship" with one of the suspects, he said... The victim had a previous relationship with Bobby Brewster, one of the six in custody, Abraham said. He was charged in July with domestic battery and assault after a domestic dispute involving the same woman." This couple didn't know these people, so why doesn't hate crime charges not apply here?

Now they play the race card, trying to make anyone protesting this lack of media coverage as racist: "The Reverend Maize maintains, the NAACP trusts city leaders and police to handle what ever the trials or the case itself, might bring. "We don't have any counter marches or counter protests lined up. We don't want to ad fuel, to the fire, if they choose to come to town. We'll allow them to do what they're going to do...Nevertheless, at least one group, white supremacist or racially focused, depending on your prospective has vowed to rally here in several weeks. Later this month, though Knox County Mayor Mike Ragsdale will ask commissioners to pass a resolution requesting that group not come.

They came, and the national press covered that because they could make it out to be white racism. The end result of this is a growing backlash against all black people because many feel there's a double standard.
