To Mike,

The victims didn’t “go to the East side for some weed.” They were kidnapped and taken to Chipman St from the Washington Bridge Apartments where Channon’s best friend lived. Chris Newsom came to pick Channon up and take her to a party in West Knoxville.

Judging from your post, you are the one filled with hate.

dear Mike, first off enough with the name calling.
If the blog is so ridiculous why respond?
Why are you so well informed when it comes to white, missing women?
Do you have any compassion for your fellow man?
Did you think the imagery from haiti was also stupid and pitiful?
You wrote in your second to last paragraph, “It’s okay to hate black people when you can justify it by directing your hatred toward four defendants in the murder trial of two white college students who were probably on the East side looking to score some weed - that’s what college students go to the East side for.” Are you advocating that because the victims put themselves in that situation should harbor half the blame?
Mike you also said,”1. This case is, really, none of your business,” Can you show me in the Constitution were it says that this case is none of our business?
Article IV - The States

Section 1 - Each State to Honor all others

Full Faith and Credit shall be given in each State to the public Acts, Records, and judicial Proceedings of every other State. And the Congress may by general Laws prescribe the Manner in which such Acts, Records and Proceedings shall be proved, and the Effect thereof.
Also Amendment one gives us freedom of the press.
Finally, you wrote,”2. If you think this case is about race, it’s probably because you want it to be about race.” Are you implying that it isn’t? Just because these individuals are racist doesn’t mean that everyone in that race is. Can you not say a person is a racist without offending the group they belong too. Why does the fact that it could possibly be about racism frighten you so much?

If Wylie’s intentions were to reveal the latent racism in the people following the Christian/Newsom murders, she succeeded in most of you who have responded to this ridiculous blog.

How idiotic does one have to be to say that the media doesn’t care about white victims of crime? Anyone ever hear of Elizabeth Smart? Lacy Peterson? Kaylee Anthony? Jaycee Dugard? A pretty, young, white, blond woman goes missing or turns up dead and the news media falls all over itself. Sometimes, we eventually learn that the woman hasn’t even been harmed — “runaway bride” Jennifer Wilbanks, anyone? This, of course, is always after days upon days of speculation and opinions and heresay.

Meanwhile, how often does the story of an abused, murdered or missing black or latino woman make national headlines? Unless they’re famous, like Rihanna, it doesn’t, and you never hear about it.

Personally, unless you’re related to Christian or Newsom, why the hell do you care? Sure, it’s a tragedy, but tragedies like this are personal matters. You don’t know them … and don’t hand me the “everyone in the community has been effected by this” tripe. I’m white, and I work in the very same area that the crime happened in, and I don’t feel any more or less safe than I ever have. This hasn’t effected me in anyway other than now I have to see all the stupid, pitiful imagery on the local news … and by the way, just because the local news calls them “monsters,” and you agree with that, doesn’t make the news unbiased.

No, the only reason you care is because it gives you the opportunity to say hateful things about people of all races. It’s okay to hate black people when you can justify it by directing your hatred toward four defendants in the murder trial of two white college students who were probably on the East side looking to score some weed - that’s what college students go to the East side for.

So go ahead and blog about how the news media is racist. Blame Leslie Wylie for not recounting at length the details that everyone in town can recite by heart. Just remember two things as you do so: 1. This case is, really, none of your business, and 2. If you think this case is about race, it’s probably because you want it to be about race.

Period, end of line.

I’m African American. I’m really ashamed about this. I suffer for “people” that do these types of things and I’m no criminal. I am shocked I never heard about this. The only way I found out about this YEARS later was looking up websites and blogs on the Sean Bell Case, in the comments sections. A much less gruesome case but more media coverage for that. Why did we not hear about this at the national and international level? Where is the outrage from the Black community on this? Legitamate outrage that these individuals did something so horrendous and it affects us because we all get judged by their actions. And I hope no one tries to say years of slavery and injustice and poverty and blah blah blah made them do this. This was a choice, nothing more. Slavery did not make them get high. Injustice did not make them plot and plan to torture. Poverty did not make them kill. They CHOOSE to do this and they will have to reap what the sow. I’m speechless…

Forget the town Media, I live in Illinois and yes I just heard about this. But if everyone would just get on their E-mail and send copies of the newspaper clipping to everyone they Know ( I DID)Eventually it will get to someone who will bring it out to the National media and hopefully before these animals go to trial E-MAIL does work wonders!!! God be with the families of Christian and Newsom.
