HeadCone 0 #52 February 26, 2007 Considering that there's no punishment strong enough for adequate retribution or deterrence from something like this happening again, there should be no punishment per se. What should happen is that these monsters get their status of existence reduced to sub-human and no longer have any human rights (as should all people who commit heinous crimes like this). The beasts then become property of the scientific and/or medical communities. A panel of scientists and doctors will decide the ultimate fate of these beasts. Some maybe used for experimentation considered to inhumane for humans (give one of them AIDS and let it advance untreated to a certain stage then administer experimental drugs to see if they work). Others, may simply have their organs and any other useful tissue farmed for transplant into deserving humans. In any case, let's get some good for society out of these animals (no offense intended towards pet owners). Also, to those who don't think this was a racially motivated crime based on the fact that it started out as a high-jacking, I'd like to mention that it could have started off as a simple high-jacking and became racially motivated afterwards. --Head-- Turn off the internet!

sundevil777 102 #54 February 26, 2007 QuoteIs there any evidence to support the claim that this was indeed a hate crime (defined as a crime motivated by prejudice against a social group.) and not just a carjacking that led to a kidnapping and subsequent atrocities? Why do you think it "led" to the subsequent atrocities? It is quite reasonable to suspect hatred against their "social group". If the skin colors were reversed, that is what would be assumed.People are sick and tired of being told that ordinary and decent people are fed up in this country with being sick and tired. I’m certainly not, and I’m sick and tired of being told that I am Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Is there any testimony or indication from the perpetrators of this horrific crime that they targeted the white couple based on race? If not then this act really cant be described as a Hate Crime, which is defined by being motivated to commit a crime on the basis of race. If anyone was sick enough to commit crimes as heinous as those delineated in the article then my guess is that it didnt matter what the race was of the cars occupants. Chances are if the couple was hispanic or even black those monsters probably still would have done the same thing.

warpedskydiver 0 #56 February 26, 2007 Ok how many offenders were there in this case? How many were mentally ill? I guess there has to be some excuse for their behavior right? It couldn't be that these perps targeted whites and therefore were at ease with doing these things. Remember this did not happen in a flash, it continued for days. It was a crime of hatred, otherwise it would not have been so brutal. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
warpedskydiver 0 #57 February 26, 2007 Some people will never accept that whites can be and frequently are the target of hate crimes. Unless you think that nobody but whites can be racially motivated to hate others. That is why hate crimes are STUPID! The mere notion of placing more value on one persons life over that of another because of the color of their skin should sicken everyone. The DOI says all men are equal, now you want to make some more equal than others? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If the skin colors were reversed, that is what would be assumed. I think it "led" to subsequent atrocities because these inhuman animals were looking to take advantage of anything they could get there hands on. I think it is unlikely that the assailants carjacked the vehicle and then had the thought "hey, there white! Lets torture and murder them". I think it is much more likely they saw an unsuspecting couple in the car and thought "lets brutally take advantage of these people because we can just kill them afterwards an no one will ever know." QuoteIf the skin colors were reversed, that is what would be assumed. Just because people would assume that whites would do such horrible things on the basis of race does not mean we should assume the same of other ethnicities. Just because they would do it to us does not mean its right to assume the same of them.2 BITS....4 BITS....6 BITS....A DOLLAR!....ALL FOR THE GATORS....STAND UP AND HOLLER!!!!

jarrodh 0 #60 February 26, 2007 Quote You seem intent on not having this crime labelled a "hate crime". Why? Show me the evidence that supports this case is a hate crime and I will change my opinion. Read your own sigline. I want the facts before I draw any conclusions that these criminals did this on the motivation of race. I think it is best that race not be involved in this or any issue. It shouldnt matter whether the assailants were black or whether the victims were white. What matters is that justice is served and that the correct parties be punished in accordance with the law regardless of ethnicity. If something is indeed classified as a "Hate Crime" then that has legal ramifications on the case and should be treated as such. The term shouldnt be thrown around to describe any crime that involves two differing races. Instead of whining about how this story is not garnering attention because the victims were white and the assailants were black we should be collectively trying to remove the importance of race from these crimes and focus on enacting justice and helping victims and their kin.2 BITS....4 BITS....6 BITS....A DOLLAR!....ALL FOR THE GATORS....STAND UP AND HOLLER!!!!

Darius11 12 #61 February 26, 2007 The hate crime law is stupid. A crime is a crime. As for why they are not charging them? simple it was not a white guy in white hood killing African Americans. If it was a white dude I have a feeling it would get more attention. As for the news on Ana Nicole that was just sad not sad that’s she died we all die. It was sad that it got so much attention when so much more important things going on. I was watching CNN on my back from NY two weekends ago. Do you believe they cut their story to tell me that Brittany dumbwhore had gotten a hair cut??????? I mean who gives a fuck…..I guess we have a lot of stupid people who do and thats why the News is BS.I'd rather be hated for who I am, than loved for who I am not." - Kurt Cobain Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I don't know. I think if they high-jacked a couple of little old black ladies instead of a young, white, good-looking, presumably "rich" couple driving an SUV, that things probably would have turned out different. Maybe they'd still be killers, but not like this. --Head-- Turn off the internet!

Has it made national news? From my brief research, it looks like all the coverage is local, including an AP report by a local. This seems to be part of a pattern on under-reporting vicious crimes when the assailant is a member of an "oppressed group" and the victims are part of the "power structure". Do a little digging and you'll find a boatload of vicious crimes upon white victims that never get anything more than local coverage. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

krouton01 0 #69 February 26, 2007 Could you please cite where the Stats came from in the second to last paragraph of the original post. And I agree I dont think many are advocating that this be labeled a hate crime, rather, pointing out the fact if the races were reversed it would most definitly be labeled one. Much like the case in New Mexico (I think, maybe another border state) was labeled a Minute Man execution before there were any suspects....of any race. However the media certainly narrowed it down for us. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rehmwa 2 #70 February 26, 2007 The media can call it a hate crime or not. That's the issue with pointless PR/PC based legislation. Everybody will want to leverage it. Nowadays, any attack or slight from ANYONE against ANYONE, and the victims will be crying hate crime. (it's really a result of self centerness, heck, on the bonfire there's a post about someone doing poor flooring work, the new owner is outraged and wants the others to pay dearly for the slight caused to him - it's an amusing thread, but petulant rage on petty issues is pretty much the norm, let alone the twisted versions of rage for things that aren't petty. That's why justice should never be personal.) The concept of 'hate crime' isn't about justice, it's about revenge - how do we make sure the crime committed against ME results in more punishment for the criminal vs the punishment for the exact same crime against some stranger I don't care about. It's a well intentioned concept that really shouldn't have passed the common sense test when reviewed for consequences. ...
