Where is Rev. Al and Jesse?
Why Don't They Speak Out Now?
"The animals pictured above; car-jacked, then raped Christopher Newsom, cut off his penis, then set him on fire and fatally shot him several times while they forced his girlfriend, Channon Christian, to watch. An even more cruel fate awaited her!
Channon Christian, was beaten and gang-raped in many ways for four days by all of them, while they took turns urinating on her. Then they cut off her breast and put chemicals in her mouth ... and then murdered her.
Dozens of New Charges in Double Murder Case Announced
Reporter: Whitney Daniel, WVLT Staff
Knoxville (WVLT) - The District Attorney General of Knox County announced the list of charges facing now five suspects in the double murder of Channon Christian and Christopher Newsom.
The District Attorney General Randy Nichols is not saying whether or not he will seek the death penalty, but he does say the State will seek conviction for all charges filed in a 24-page indictment from the Knox County Grand Jury.
Lemaricus Davidson, 25, faces a total of 46 charges.Davidson was indicted on 16 counts of Felony Murder growing out of rape, robbery kidnapping and theft of Channon Christian and Chris Newsom, 2 counts premeditated murder of Christian and Newsom, 2 counts especially aggravated robberies from Christian and Newsom, 4 counts especially aggravated kidnapping of Christian and Newsom, 20 counts aggravated rape of Christian and Newsom, and 2 counts of theft from Christian and Newsom.

George Thomas, 24, faces a total of 46 charges. Thomas was indicted on 16 counts of Felony Murder growing out of rape, robbery kidnapping and theft of Channon Christian and Chris Newsom, 2 counts premeditated murder of Christian and Newsom, 2 counts especially aggravated robberies from Christian and Newsom, 4 counts especially aggravated kidnapping of Christian and Newsom, 20 counts aggravated rape of Christian and Newsom, and 2 counts of theft from Christian and Newsom.
Just last night, police in Lebanon , Kentucky , arrested18-year-old Vanessa Coleman. She faces 40 Tennessee state charges. Coleman was indicted on 12 counts Felony Murder growing out of rape, robbery kidnapping and theft of Channon Christian and Chris Newsom, 1 count Premeditated Murder of Christian only, 1 count Especially Aggravated Robbery of Newsom only, 4 counts especially aggravated kidnapping of Christian and Newsom, 20 counts of aggravated rape of Christian and Newsom and 2 Counts of theft from Christian and Newsom.
Eric Boyd, 24, also arrested in connection with the fatal carjacking, only faces federal charges as an accessory after the fact. He was not indicted by Knox county grand jury.
Felony Murder carries a possibility of death, life without the possibility of parole and life with parole. Especially Aggravated Robbery is a Class A felony that carries a possibility of 15 to 60 years in prison. Aggravated Rape is a Class A felony that carries a possibility of 15 to 60 years of prison.
At a news conference Thursday , Nichols commended the cooperative efforts between several departments and credits that cooperation for the fast pace this case is moving through the court system. Nichols says he hopes to move the case to trial on the first day it's set. The four are expected to make their first court appearance within ten to fifteen days.
This is certainly a case garnering a lot of public interest, Nichols recognizes that and says he expects all kinds of requests filed in this case, including a change of venue in order to receive a fair trial. But he says he does hope 12 Knox County jurors will be able to determine the guilt or innocence of these suspects.
..."Despite the horrific nature of these murders, they received virtually no coverage in the mainstream media outside of the Knoxville area in which they occurred. Some observers, including country musician Charlie Daniels and conservative commentator Michelle Malkin, have said that this is due to a media bias that provides more coverage to crimes perpetrated by whites against black victims, such as the false allegations of rape against the Duke Lacrosse players.
The father of Chris Newsom said he didn't believe the murders started out as race-motivated crimes. "I don't think it started out that way but from all indications we have, it developed into that," Hugh Newsom said..." (wikipidia)
Where are the Rev.'s Al and Jesse? Are they providing counsel and help to the families of the victims? Of course not - the victims were white. Why hasn't this received National coverage by the news media like the Duke "rape" case? Oh, that's right - the victims were white. Why hasn't the NAACP, ACLU, New York Times etc., called for an investigation? Must be cause the victims were white. Why hasn't the FBI been called in to investigate this as a hate crime?
Oh, that's right - the victims were white.
So, if a white news radio jock uses the phrase "Nappy headed ho's," it gets 2 weeks of constant news coverage. If two white people are tortured, raped, and murdered by a group of black people, it barely gets a blip in the news."
Interesting perspective don't you think? All I know is it struck a nerve with me. White people get killed and raped everyday and you hardly hear anything about it. Maybe we need a couple of loud mouth reverends of our own (white) to stand up and call attention to this sort of thing! Just a thought. Not very PC I agree but who says I always have to be?

Post a CommentWords cannot express how angry I am at the decision to not enforce the death penalty. What more did these monsters need to do to these two innocent kids in order to warrant the death penalty? Again, I agree race SHOULDNT play a part in any of this, but IT DOES AND IT HAS. And you know, the reason race is now an issue is because the BLACK PEOPLE brought race to the table on the case. None of the victim's families wanted the DP because these monsters were black, but the black community started yelling racism as soon as the trial started. That's how racism got introduced in this case. You want to tell me that because these monsters had a rough childhood, or that nobody gave them a hug when they were kids, or that they are poor and lice in a bad part of town is any kind of reason to even slightly excuse what they did to these two kids? NO, THAT IS ALL A COP OUT WITH A DASH OF RACISM ON TOP JUST TO INTIMIDATE WHITE PEOPLE INTO SHOWING THE MONSTERS MERCY. And the sad thing is that this jury
@Alyce...If this were a group of white guys who raped and murdered a couple of innocent black teens, you better believe the MSM would have played it to death, over and over! Repetition-wise, it would have made the Rodney King beating video look like a one-shot deal!
This crime is so horrific. I too wonder where mainstream media is?
this is a horrific crime!!! i really think that this may very wellbe a crime that could bring the white race together agaist the raping murdering thugs that are still on the streets across america! i can understand hal turner and his rants agaist the beast like these sub humans ! ! what are they going to be labeled- hateters of whitey- or crazed by the scent of a white woman ?? tell me what these people are?? did they all say at one time i gets the white ho first??- maybe they drew straws, tell me what these people are???? i cant label them, there not a word in my vocabulary to describe these animals below sub-human, below gutter rats, below a virus- there all below a festering sore , how proud five mothers and fathers must be of the devils they set loose on society! this kind of crime sounds like what they do in africa to each other the warring tribes !!! i really believe that these slime balls should every one get the max!!! death by the state , or death at the hand
These guy's are animals, not because of their race, because of their deed. They have no value or respect for human life.They deserve to die and not be a further burden on society.
"And for all the countless blacks that have been killed by whites with no convictions and no trials and gotten away with it, your mad because these got no news coverage, yet justice will be done?"
Can you give us a few current examples, Andre.
"Being black I'd trade with you. To hell with the news coverage, there are tons of unsolved murders, lynchings, rapes that have happened to blacks at the hands of whites no one cares about."
So the killings where justified?
This an eye-opener! Great piece and very insightful.
Deez, good story and right on the button. Jesse and Al have no finacial gain by bashing their own on this. They are race baiters. This crime was heinous and all involved should get the needle. Oh and as far as the women on the b-ball team. The reason imus said those things was because most of the girls were all inked up and it reminded him of the mtv rap video crowd. Good story.
this was a front page news on Chicago Tribune and thats how i learned about this. u are right in pointing out the hypocrisy of Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton..they should have said and done something about this..
PS: I have personally never seen "The Animal Pictured Above Was Denied Parole" featuring a photo of Charles Manson for example.
