View Full Version : Waiting for the outrage

Another in a long line of stories that the Reverends Al and Jesse will no doubt ignore. This happened Tues. and the first I heard about it was from a friend who read about it on the Daily mail in the UK. Of course this is black on white crime not white on black. I'm sure there will be some outrage in the MSM about this after all when is enough enough?
From the cited article:
'This investigation is far from over,' Officer Jason Willingham of the Tulsa police department told Tulsa World. 'We've still got a lot of questions that we still need answered.'
Let's see how this thing develops - but I doubt that we'll see the MSM the DOJ or the president, for that matter...jumping in any time soon.
Unless one has thier head up their ass - there is no doubt that, currently, there exists an enormous double standard.

Prayers sent for the victims. Another horrible crime that will barely get a mention on the news...

Aside from sending prayers to the victims and their family, I'm speechless from the horror of the act.
It does leave me with a question though - what's worse, the act itself, or the faith that the criminal has that our justice system is so broken that he could get away with something like this?

That is a horrible tragedy. He sexually assaulted that woman before beating her to death. Absolutely sick. I can't wait until that guy is sentenced. Hopefully there are some Veterans in the jury.
During Bush the Younger's administration, it was fashionable for members of the political left to argue "If Bush really cared about WMDs, then he'd do X, Y, and Z." The implication was that since he wasn't doing X, Y, and Z, he was operating in bad faith. Once this "bad faith" was established, it became easy for the left not to talk at all about Iraq.
My (cryptic) $0.02.
How sad...I feel for the survivor, I'd feel guilty surviving if my spouse had been killed. Where do animals like this come from?

The guys at Ranger Up did a vid on it a couple months ago to try and get the word out: http://youtu.be/ePyGK2vlim0
It's a crime that the press overlooks a tragedy such as this.

I'm sure we all know "WHY" this hasn't made MSM and never will..........:mad:

Why should there be outrage?
This wasn't some white guy killing a black couple, it's not news worthy. No pot to be stirred up.
This was just something whitey had coming.
And yes, it does make me sick, on many levels. There shouldn't be outrage, there should be an execution.

Teddy, What about this crime makes a MSM story?
I read or saw a report on it back when it happened (March?). I look at it as local story (Tulsa) about a home invasion, beating, rape, and murder involving an elderly couple. Crimes which happen all over the United States everyday and they aren't covered by the MSM. What makes this any different?

Which case in Florida are you referring to? They may not be ordinary, but they certainly aren't rare either. I have seen coverage of similar crimes (local area news, or state wide news) here many times . Horrible crime, butI don't see anything that makes this case a MSM national news story.

You know which one I'm talking about........:eek: We get a lot of unusual news even down here in the sticks when they are indeed not ordinary like this one........:rolleyes:

Sorry Teddy, but I'm not a mind reader.
Crimes against the elderly (the weak) are not unusual, not even rape. Maybe you just don't hear about it because like this one they didn't happen in your neck of the woods. Heck at least half the people in the US couldn't point out Tulsa on a map if their life depended on it (maybe 1 in 500,000 could find Carriere, MS:D) so why would they be interested in a local crime committed there?
I'm sure we all know "WHY" this hasn't made MSM and never will.
This happened several months ago - and - you don't think FOX or AP (who both reported the story) are MSM news organizations? :confused:
Do a search and you'll find they happen all over the country, and are commonly reported more as a regional than a national or global news event.
And so it goes...

Most cases of rape of the elderly are not reported to the police
"A study of older rape victims (age range of 55-87; mean age of 68.8) it was found that:
• 79% were attacked by strangers;
• Most attacks were in the victim’s home, after the perpetrator broke in or got in under false pretenses;
• 9.4% of the victims reported the rape to the police, compared to 24.5% of a control group of women aged 18-43;
• 50.9% of the older women sustained genital injuries, compared with 13.2% of the control group. Of the women who suffered genital injuries, 37% were severe enough to require surgical repair."
