    I never heard of this either. I'm glad that the victims families got at least some sort Justice. such brutal killings.
    The killers are so evil. Cant even begin to imagine what went through the poor victims heads while this torture went on.
    RIP

    I would have a keen interest in true crime and this is one of the worst cases I have ever heard of. It's definitely a hate crime but we are not allowed to say that in case we upset certain people. I tell you one thing this is a strong case to convert to atheism.

    Terrible crime, at least it was america where they take crime seriously (and not some liberal European country). They all got long sentences and most likely sent to a fairly grim prison... where they certainly belong (and hopefully die).

    Never mind that you've just read what's below, you keep pursuing your agenda there.

    "Police Chief Sterling Owen IV said that there is no indication the crimes were racially motivated and that the murders and assault "appears to have been a random violent act."[33] "There is absolutely no proof of a hate crime," said John Gill, special counsel to Knox County District Atty. Randy Nichols. "We know from our investigation that the people charged in this case were friends with white people, socialized with white people, dated white people. So not only is there no evidence of any racial animus, there's evidence to the contrary."[34]"

    I seen whitboy post this and I though "agenda"

    Then I read this: "The national news media was criticized for allegedly ignoring the story because the victims were white and the suspects black" and I thought, aww there it is..

    not to go wilding off topic but "I vote Norris" and "David Norris for President" is candidate support. The middle part is agenda pushing.

    Don't be so quick to judge others is all I am saying.

    mine is support for an Irish presidential candidate while whiteboy is pushing his racist agenda.. please don't equate the two. it's ridiculous.

    You think this has nothing to do with Whiteboy's views on racism (or should that be 'racist views':confused:)?

    It's a legitimate story. It actually happened. There is nothing in the opening post to indicate racism.

    The poster is racist. known.

    the story is a fap piece for the likes of the Council for Conservative Christians.

    it's hardly rocket science.

    it happened in 2007.

    So instead of commenting on the story/topic/post, you decide to comment on the poster and see where that leads? Half a thread of off topic/derailed thread.

    Ok, thats enough for today. I'll see ye tomorrow for lessons on trolls and how to spot :pac:

    Right, back on topic please.

    I read about that story a couple of years ago. An absolutely disgusting crime and it is difficult to know whether it is racially motivated or as the Police Chief stated, a "random violent act".

    If you read about prison rape in the US, you'll see that the vast majority of the estimated seventy thousand prisoners raped annually are white males with the perpetrators being black.
    http://www.hrw.org/legacy/reports/2001/prison/report.html
    If you delve further, among the reasons given are that white people rarely recognise race lines until it's too late. This leaves them on their own and vulnerable to attack from gangs. Also, a pent-up hatred against white people is released inside a prison environment for their perceived dominance in the outside world.

    Back to this unfortunate couple, well, who knows the reason? Only a fool would believe that racism against white people doesn't exist and only a racist would automatically assume a black criminal and a white victim involves a racist motive. I only highlighted the prison article because of it's relevance to racially motivated crimes. They do happen to white people too.
