Christian was kept alive longer and was repeatedly raped. Cleaning fluid had been poured into her mouth to hide DNA evidence before she was murdered and thrown in the garbage.
Suspects Eric Boyd, George Thomas, Lemaricus Davidson, Letalvis Cobbins and Vanessa Coleman:
Victims Channon Christian and Christopher Newsom:
None of the suspects have been charged with a hate crime because there is apparently no evidence that the suspects engaged in name calling while they were allegedly raping and murdering the young couple. The major news outlets continue to ignore the story.

The brutality of the attack.

Death for these animals after they are in general prison population, and the other inmates know what they have done. They are pure rubbish, and are wasting our air by breathing.

F-ing savages, they should string these animals up in the street for all to see. Bunch of bull that the media has ignored this story.
Comment by Mike — April 22, 2007 @ 6:16 pm
I wonder how the media would feel if this was a black couple and several whites were the suspects???!!! Hmmmmmm…makes you wonder who’ll be slaves next does’nt it??? This Country has gone to hell in a hand basket and it won’t be long until white americans are slaves to the Blacks if we don’t put a stop to this BS. Their populating like rabbits foir a reason…wake up America!!!!

The article states the suspects haven’t been charged with a hate crime because “there is apparently no evidence that the suspects engaged in name calling while they were allegedly raping and murdering the young couple.” Of course it’s kind of tough to prove; the witnesses are dead! I’ve forwarded the link to MSNBC, and I think everyone who reads about this atrocity should contact the major news networks and DEMAND that they air this story. You can bet one thing’s for sure: You won’t see the likes of “Race Monger” Sharpton and Jessie Jackson speaking out about the behaviors of these people. Until and unless the terms “we”, “they”, “us”, “them”, “our community” are erased from the English language when referring to segregating races, the kind of one-sidedness that has continued to occur in America against whites will continue. (Note the Imus situation and the outrage from Sharpton. Sean Hannity should air Sharpton’s speech DAILY where Sharpton refers to “whites living in caves” and “homo Greeks,” much the same way as Imus’ remark has ben aired over and over!) Martin Luther King DID NOT GIVE UP HIS LIFE for what is happening today. He was an honorable man with honorable intentions. Not so for the right reverends Sharpton and Jackson! THEY SHOULD BE BARRED FROM APPEARING ON ANY OF THE PUBLIC AIRWAYS! They are a blight on society and bring nothing but contempt for whites to the table. If they are allowed to spew their filth, there will certainly be race riots in our streets, and there will be no one like Martin Luther King to call for peaceful demonstration. Shame on our American society for dishonoring the lives of all the blacks and whites who fought so valiantly against segration. WAKE UP!

Unfortunately i hate to see anything like this happen to black, white or any other colored person. It is very sad no matter what race. All i can say is they r in my prayers and i will forward this to all i can. The reason i think some stuff does not get the media attention is because look how we act towards other races. This should not be about race but about the type of people that did all those bad things. Just think about that we r all better than this ……..

This story sickens me. Those “things” are not human. I say cruel and unusually punishment should be ok in this situation. Cut off their body parts just like they did to those poor kids. Then set them on fire. They dont deserve jail. You know if it were leagal in all states to carry a concealed weapon. People could have the RIGHT to protect themselves. Another poster made a good point, WHATS HAPPENING TO OUR COUNTRY?

If the crime had been flipped where it was 5 white people that committed this attrocity it would have been labled a hate crime no questions asked. It should go both ways!!!!
Comment by azezal — May 9, 2007 @ 10:35 am
I pray for peace for the families of these two young people. The ones that did it should be given a fair trial because that is our system. After the trial they should receive a punishment fitting the crime. I do not think an eye for eye is unfitting. They raped, tortured, mutilated, and burned these young kids. I think they should get the same.

The last time I checked animals weren’t covered under the bill of rights. And that’s what these bastards are, a bunch of sick & deranged animals. May they burn in hell.
Comment by John — May 14, 2007 @ 11:31 am
OMG! What the f=**k is going on in the world today? Why would these crazy, demented, unkind bastards choose to kill innocent people like that? I just heard this whole story today and it makes me wanna vomit instantly. I hope they get death penalty but then again, look at how they let O.J slide

I heard this first on a talk radio station in Baltimore 3 days ago…and then I got an article emailed to me from a friend…this made me sick…why hasn’t Katie Curic or even Fox Channel ran this story?
Comment by Kathleen — May 17, 2007 @ 10:20 am
Is anyone really reading this blog? Please go back and read what you are all writing. Niggers, hatemongers, slaves, animals??? What the hell is wrong with you people? These were five horrible, hateful people that committed this crime…not the whole damn black race. Put punishment where it is due…on the people, not on an entire race. I also heard about this on the radio station out of metro DC. I think that the media is afraid to publicize it because people will start to react just like you all have. Racewar??? You all sound like the Ku Klux Klan!

By the way, OJ was part of the “white” world, not the “black ” world. He hadn’t been “black ” in quite some time.

KNOXVILLE SUPERTHUG GETS BIG NOTCHES UNDER BELT WITH ADDITIONAL CHARGES
Knoxville (WVLT) – A suspect in the carjacking and murders of Channon Christian and Christopher Newsom faces new charges in connection with a robbery two days after the carjacking.
A Knox County Grand Jury indicted Davidson on 6 charges including aggravated robbery, attempted robbery, aggravated assault, and unlawful possession of a weapon.
According to the presentment signed on May 8th, Davidson allegedly robbed a Pizza Hut at gunpoint on January 8th.
That same day, he allegedly attempted to steal a woman’s purse.
These additional charges, I think, when coupled with his existing charges are the big notch under Davidson’s belt that may keep him in the Bragging Rights #1 spot!
Lemaricus Davidson goes HARD!
Comment by Christopher Felon — May 18, 2007 @ 6:54 pm
These animals need to be taken out and hanged in the public square for all to see!!!!! If criminals like this were made an example of, it would make a huge impact on crime! If this murdered couple were black all the blacks would have burned knoxville to the ground rioting! Where are Jackson and Sharpton on issues like this????? I am totally disgusted!
Comment by Codeblue — May 19, 2007 @ 8:15 am
Blacks don’t want to be called nigers, and I think thats wright we shouldn’t, lets just call them porch monkeys. and I hope 5 of them are going to burn in hell.
Comment by wayne — May 25, 2007 @ 1:11 am
There is no one more malicious or violent then the “American Negro”, but this “Beastly, horrendeous, and hidious crime is far and above what has ever been seen before. One insane person or, maybe even two people as in the case of James Byrd but, things like this have always happened on the “Spur of the moment” so to speak.
The perpetrators of this monsterous atrocity were not drunk or high. This did not happen on the spur of the moment. This was four people consciously working in concert over the course of three days.
This scum had the “Savvy” to force the young woman to drink drain cleaner in an effort to erase the DNA evidence. They cut off the young man’s penis and forced her to swallow it. When they were finished with her, one of the suspects forced his penis down her throat and kept it there until she suffocated on it.
The death penalty is not good enough for scum like this IE: 8 out of ten young black men ages 14 to 34. If somthing is not done to radically change things in this country in the next few years, there will be hell to pay.
I don’t think the blacks really know how thin the ice is getting in the “Ghetto” no a days!

The black people in America need to get rid of Al [“White Monkeys”] Sharpton and Jesse [Hymie Town, child out of wed lock,] Jackson and hire someone who will genuinely look out for them instead of promoting race just to fill thier pockets.Cosby, powell, Rice, Shelia Johnson, someone like that. But the problem is they don’t want to listen to anyone tell them they should only have one father who lives at home with them, they should learn to read, write, and speak articulately, stay in school and get an education, not try to collect welfare as soon as they can get pregnant, and get a work every day instead of “Hanging” on the street all night, Etc.
Comment by Marksmant — May 27, 2007 @ 4:30 pm
As an afro-american I say many of these Ghetto scum need to be eliminated! They use their poverty as an excuse for everything and simply refuse to make their liives better. most of these people make me embarrassed to be apart of the same race. I think Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton are also a total disgrace and have no interests other than their own fat wallets! My family made their own lives and rose above thei meager beginnings by hard work, something largely unknown to most of my race. I hope all these scumbags are put to death so they can face the ultimate judgement. If the races in this case were swapped, this would be all you would hear about on the news. As for people who stupidly ask “what about all the missing black women and children?” Please don’t act as though every white missing person winds up being front page news, there are many people who go missing every day and we never hear one word about it. Black or white, the best thing that can happen is all prisons be burned to the ground, then rebuild them, fill them up and repeat. I am sick of my money going to keep scum alive!

Thank you Kiesha. I’ve been on several boards and have read many posts about this case, and on a larger scale, the situation America faces today. Your post is dead-on. Very intelligent and to the point. Right On Kiesha!! Thanks again.

Keisha…I am with you! It is sick and unbelieveable to think a human could do this to another human! The “color” labeling needs to stop and all people should help and respect others (human rights). As an African-AMERICAN (yes AMERICAN), I respect all except when they go beyond their rights and create this kind of inhumane violence…God bless this sicko world….jcam (jemaruius)

I just found out about this through another site I visit and checked it out and I am simply STUNNED!!!
The vileness of this and the sheer Evil displayed here makes a crucifiction look like a Swedish massaje.
I for sure will let all my friends and others know about this, because if I did not, I would be a bad friend. This could happen again, but it will NEVER be labelled as a “hate-crime”. that only happens when WHITE heterosexual males do something, that isn’t even a fraction of this devilness.
For sure, there is no way I will ever behave the same towards certain people now. Not that I would sink to their level, but for sure I will never go to such areas or even risk responding or helping certain ppl from now on. Sorry, but this is too much for me to handle, I am not that “good” and “open-minded” of a person and especially not now.
Now, I got to go and throw up and I am NOT joking!!
