I saw this on another Forum.

I missed this story on the news if it was ever aired...

Cliff notes on the story, a young couple gets carjacked by 4 individuals. The male has his penis cut off, is sodomized before being killed and having his body burnt. The female is forced to watch that, gang raped for 2 days, has her breasts cut off, and drain cleaner poured down her throat before she is finally killed, and dismembered. Why haven't you heard of this event that leaves almost anyone speechless? This happened in Knoxville, TN.

Another reason not to leave home with out protection. From my searching, it appears that this happened in January. I found a local news story from Knoxville, TN but this didn't even make the news here in Nashville. Why?

Thats just terrible. This didnt make national news but some radio jock who said something stupid made national news for days. Unreal. My condolences to the families of those victims.

I was thinking the very same thing. Imus makes a comment that lasts 3 seconds and it makes the news for over a week. It's in every newspaper and every major news channel mentions it. Something like the story above happens at a large University and nobody breathes a word. Total BS.

How can someone be so inhumane? I can't imagine somebody being so brainwashed by gangs to be able to do such a thing. Absolutely no mind, heart, or soul can be left in those 4 boys, or the female who watched.

A member on a local forum searched The Tennessean (state-wide newspaper), CNN, and Fox and only found 6 articles on Fox (none on CNN or Tennessean). Anyone remember what happened mid-January that would have been so big to overshadow such a thing? I read that she died Jan. 7

Gives rise to the urge to kill doesn't it...

Sh*t like that happens every year, everywhere... I tend to not want to read about it because while I know it is happening I'm powerless to do anything about it.

The result is just me getting rather angry at one's self and at the killers.

But if anything like that ever happened to a loved one, you bet I'd find them, and do worse to them.

I did a little research. There are several facts represented in that video, but there is obviously a little slant towards the victims defense. It was published by VNN, which is known for being "News for Whites" and somewhat racist. Regardless, those are mostly facts. As far as the dismemberment, law officials have decided not to confirm any conditions of the bodies, they're saving that for trial and to protect the families of the victims.

Facts:
Carjacked and Kidnapped
Repeatedly Raped and sodomized
Tortured with chemicals poured down throat
Murdered
One body set on fire at railroad tracks
One body found in trash can
