Horrific murder that I've heard nothing about....why?

[Powerbuilder333]

that's why i live in the great white north

They have serial killers in Canada. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Canadian_serial_killers
Seattle is pretty far North - for America, and we spawned Ted Bundy and the Green River Killer.
I agree that there is less murders the further North you go (less people, less criminals, less victims). But there might be a dispaportionate amount of serial killers in the Northern states and Canada. I don't have statistics, but that's an impression I have from growing up in Seattle.
By the way I'm a big fan of Canada, and Canadians, but sickos can be found most anywhere.

All the stories in this thread are horrific and disgusting! Any person who does this type of crime should die a slow painful death. No prison sentence, no 3 hots and a cot, no way! They deserve to lose their life! How the f- can people do these things??? Boggles my mind!

and black people say that all the whacko's are white and all black crime usually is drug related or gang related. WTF? They picked off a couple going on a date and did this to them? What fucking niggers............I expect every black person here to call them the same.

The difference anymore between white people and black people is that our criminals disgust us.............but black people seem to apologize for their criminal element at a much higher rate. I would gladly hang a klansmen from his balls and smoke a nice cigar. If onle black people were even remotely as intolerant...........

I believe this is the story of the two that were leaving the white supremacy rally...
I believe that you should be able to have any beliefs that you want , but certain beliefs I shy away from

I believe it was a revenge killing of some sort.
I agree with the news that it was not news worthy.

There are plenty of murders that do not get news coverage

I was in my car this morning and the morning radio show people were talking about a double murder in Tennessee this past winter that received virtually NO news coverage. And it wasn't an ordinary murder. There was gang rape, mutilation, torture...no coverage.

I'm going to post the link and pose the question...why do you think this has gotten next to no national coverage while stories like a missing girl in the bahamas (I can't even remember her name) and even ratially charged stories like the Duke "rape" case seem to receive endless and mind boggling amounts of coverage?

Some think it's a media bias about black on white crimes, but that seems unlikely to me. I'm curious about what others think.

If you look at the links at the bottom, you'll see a lot of the above referenced theory about why this isn't being talked about more.

More on the murder itself (excuse the source, but it was almost impossible to find a link detailing the murders from a major news source) :

Wrong. Mixed up with something else, maybe. They were on a date at a local restaurant. If you think savage killing and torture isn't "newsworthy" compared to some of the things they sensationalize, I have to wonder what you DO consider newsworthy.

It's disgusting that Paris Hilton's drunk driving ordeal got so much attention when 8 people were killed in one weekend in Oakland & it got way less attention...our priorities are pretty screwed.
