This is quite extraordinary, the crime itself is entirely abominable and the lack of media on this story is very hard to rationalise. At first i thought this was bullshit but the information is available if you go looking for it I find it kinda hard to understand why this wouldn't make for national news. Racial viewpoints aside the role of the press is essentially to represent society, all walks of society with out prejudice. Although I guess this is somewhat of a holistic expectation to still maintain.

I have never heard of anything like this before. Yes, grisly murders happen all the time, but I think it's pretty reasonable to assume this event has been run through the PC filter.

And yes, I have a gun. Once you have a house, it's kinda necessary to protect your family against black people. <--joking.

I'm trying think of all the murders that DO garner national attention and link them by something common.....

I hope the gun you plan on buying is to be used on the guy who wrote the e-mail whining about the lack of media coverage.

That is truly sickening.

To move the discussion forward though, do you think if they had a gun it wouldn't have happened? Would they have been able to pull it before they were held at gunpoint themselves?

I don't see how it could have made the situation any worse. Figure you've got at least a couple seconds while you watch 5 people walk towards your car. They couldn't possibly have suffered a worse fate.

If I were the father of either one of the victims, I'd give up everything I had to be alone in a room with each of those guys (while they were restrained, of course) for a couple hours. I wouldn't give a fuck how wrong revenge is.
