They are all on the same page. The families were made to accede to that egregious bullshit. Plainly under pressure from the other two parties mentioned: police and prosecutors.
Were the way-over-the-top rapes and tortures committed by the animals
not evidence of hatred - of deep, maniacal, burning resentment and hatred, the evil hatred of a monster toward innocents?
The "police, prosecutors and the victims' families" make it sound as if the rapists-torturers-murderers haplessly did what they did, on accident. Something went "awry." Oops! For hours we raped and tortured you, then killed you - we didn't mean it, we just goofed up!
A "carjacking gone awry," if language has any rational meaning, is if the carjacker fails to jack the car, and the intended victim flees successfully. A "carjacking gone awry" (no matter how "terribly") does
not include leaving the car behind, taking the driver and passenger to another location, raping and torturing them for hours, cutting off body parts, burning one to death on a railroad track, carefully loading the throat of the other one with burning Drano, and tucking one away to die in multiple garbage bags. Doesn't sound like anything went awry; it sounds like everything went down pretty much as intended by the people who did it.
With due respect to Alex (
), I have to say it: this is classic
blaming the victims if I ever saw it.
So the story according to "police, prosecutors and the victims' families" (as reported in the controlled media) goes like this:
Chris and Channon were in the wrong. They were in the wrong place at the wrong time. Shame on them.
This wrong, committed by Chris and Channon, caused what otherwise would have been a happy, normal little carjacking to go "awry." If fact, Chris and Channon were
so in the wrong that the carjacking went "terribly" awry.
They ended by getting raped, tortured, and murdered, but after all, they caused all this to happen. They were in the wrong place at the wrong time (a street in America). They spoiled a perfectly good carjacking, thus causing a huge problem for us all!!!!!
God damn the police and prosecutors and media. They deserve what the "carjackers" they're making excuses for deserve.
Note that today (August 17, 2009), Jamie Satterfield on the front page of the Knoxville News-Sentinel referred to the trial as "the carjacking trial."
The carjacking trial. Not the murder trial. The carjacking trial.
Here words become illegal. So the post must end.
