The ringleader of the carjacking, murders and mutilation of Channon Christian & Christopher Newsom has been found guilty on 35 of 38 counts today:

Wednesday’s verdict in Knoxville means 28-year-old Lemaricus Davidson could be sentenced to death.

Davidson was charged with 38 counts, including premeditated murder, felony murder, robbery, kidnapping, rape and theft. He was convicted of all but three rape counts.

Davidson’s brother Letalvis Cobbins and another conspirator, Eric Boyd, were both found guilty in previous trials. Cobbins received life in prison without parole and was given 18 years. Two others, George Thomas and Vanessa Coleman are still awaiting trial.

There will be a special place in hell for Lemaricus Davidson. He is a vile individual who deserves nothing less than death.

As if this case wasn’t appalling enough, the reporter and staff at the AP who wrote this article decided to ratchet things up a notch with this final paragraph:

The victims were white and middle class, and the defendants poor and black. Some conservative Internet commentators and white supremacist agitators claimed it didn’t get the same attention as white-on-black hate crimes. Authorities say race didn’t appear to be a factor.

I see exactly what the AP is doing here: they are drawing a comparison to *some Conservative websites* and that of white supremacist groups. They are planting the seed that Conservatives and white supremacists are one and the same. These two groups think along the same line. If they didn’t mean it that way, they would have also mentioned that there were some liberal websites that were mentioning this case didn’t get the same attention as white-on-black crimes. The AP is trying to be subtle, but to me they are as subtle as a kick to the face.

And btw, if this case DID get the same attention as white-on-black crimes, why isn’t  CNN, ABC, NBC, the NYT, etc, reporting this? Ask yourself, seriously ask yourself, if this WAS a white-on-black-crime of this magnitude, would this be newsworthy?

A few weeks ago the state run media decided that the story of some justice of the peace that refused to marry a black man and a white woman was national news - for seven straight days - yet 5 blacks carjacking, raping, murdering, and mutilating two whites by burning their bodies and throwing them into trash cans isn’t even worthy of a mention?

Think about it. Why the silence?

God bless the families of the victims, they are in our prayers.
