this is a sad story.i dont see why people would want to hurt other people…i think it is unfair that channon and chris lost their life..and all the killers get is prison time..its sad because they have to spend the rest of the life laying in the ground..i think the killers should get the death role….my prayers go out to channon and chris family.

this is ridiculous these people need to be put to death,i am speechless i have no mercy for these people and i am a black person,but as far as the consipiracy of black on white crime that does not make the media i don’t believe that this is an isolated incident,there are so many of our children that go missing and are found murdered and you never hear anything about it all and you never hear about the white on black crime either so i don’t think its a conspiracy,but i do feel like this deserved national attention because this makes no sense at all i cannot put into words right now how senseless this is to me and how savage it is………

Yes, let’s do “get a grip”.

There is no denying that when a White on Black crime that is as heinous as this is perpetrated, that there IS a national media circus that goes to great lengths to emphasize the racial make up of perpetrators and victims, in the interest of having a national debate on the causes of such horrific crimes.

And, yes, they are thugs. Just as the the Columbine killers who have also been referred to by many deragatory names.
Many white criminals have and are regularly called “thugs”. So why so sensitive to it when it is appled to these scumbags?

If these scum did this to two dogs, I have the dismaying feeling that people such as yourself would be more upset, ala Michael Vick.

But your ultrasensitive liberal guilt makes you softball this crime.

This is utterly ridiculous. Anyone can see this is a horrific crime but to try and cast this as some type of cover up by the media to hide black on white crime obviously is blind. There are racist crimes by whites on blacks that are not covered in the national media either and there has been a large increase in white racist groups since the election of the president but that is not a story in the media so lets get a grip here. You are crying foul when laws have had to be enacted to prevent crimes against blacks so I think your idea of some spooky grand conspiracy is not well thought out. Blame the perpetrators and no one else.Also, why is the term “thug” applied to these guys? Because they are black? Were the colombine kids thugs?

Forget the death penalty for these scumbags, put them in general population and let the horrific mutilations and rapes be committed on each and every one of Channon and Chris’s murderers. I pray that it will be a slow, painful, agonizing death!!

The 2 previous commentatores, above, “Guftigus” & “2Spunky”, wish to make it clear to us all, that Channon, & Chris, were Not “mutilated,..Oh,..well that is nice to know,..I wouln’t, want to go around thinking “bad things” about the perpatraitors, of this incident,..I mean, after all,..If , they only, kidnapped, raped, tortured, & murdered their victims,..then, what is all the fuss about, anyway,.? I mean,.. Gee,..now that I know that no “mutilation”, was involved, I think, that, mabey the “charges”, against, these,..nice “young men”, should be reduced,..Perhaps, the charge, of “murder” with regards to the shooting of Chris, & dumpiig his body on the railroad tracks, should be reduced to “litering”,..& as to the charges of, kidnap, rape, torture, & murder, of Channon, & the, subsequent, stuffing of her body into a trash barrel, perhaps, that charge should be, reduced to “illegal disposal of garbage”,..I mean, after all,..since her parents, got her back, all in one piece,..what is their problem ,.? Hay,..after all, nobody lives forever anyway,..But, them,..I would like to know, exactly, “Where” it was that these two people, got there infomation from,..in the first place,..

I was at both funerals and was close friends with the Newsom families. As bad as it got, and make no mistake it was bad, they were not mutilated, and Channon was found in 1 garbage can.

I agree that the media myth encourages more black violence against whites, and the myth needs to be exposed. However, one must be careful about the alleged mutilations. Local authorities say they did not happen. But so far as I know, they have not released the autopsy report. Upshot: Those who wish to cover up the Knoxville horror make much of the “false charge” of mutilations.
