It was a classic case of really bad judgment on the part of both the involved individuals, with Zimmerman following Trayvon when he shouldn&#8217;t have and Martin attacking Zimmerman when he shou&#8230;ldn&#8217;t have and both men responsible for painting themselves into one of those tight corners where somebody has to be hurt.<br \/>\nBut the case, as tragic as it was, was made many times worse by an irresponsible media and civil rights leaders who exploited it for whatever ink and TV face time they could get out of it.<br \/>\nIn the time that the Zimmerman trial was going on there were sixty-one murders in Chicago, forty-three of them were black males and seven of those black males were under the age of 18, most of them died from gunshot wounds, all violent, all senseless. Do Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson just not care as much about the black male population of Chicago or is it that they just can&#8217;t garner as much media attention there?<br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-23771\" alt=\"montage-knoxville3\" src=\"http:\/\/whisnews21.files.wordpress.com\/2013\/08\/montage-knoxville3.jpg?w=300\" width=\"300\" height=\"260\" srcset=\"https:\/\/whisnews21.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/08\/montage-knoxville3.jpg 497w, https:\/\/whisnews21.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/08\/montage-knoxville3-300x261.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><b>Speaking of media attention, a young white couple, students at the University of Tennessee in Knoxville, was carjacked, raped, tortured and murdered.<\/b><b><\/b><br \/>\n<b>The young man, Christopher Newsome, was raped and beaten, then castrated, shot, his body dumped by train tracks and set on fire while his girlfriend, Channon Christian, was forced to watch.<\/b><b><\/b><br \/>\n<b>Channon was gang raped over a period of days, her breasts cut off while she was still alive, then had cleaning fluid sprayed in her mouth in an attempt to erase the traces of DNA and her body put into a garbage receptacle.<\/b><b><\/b><br \/>\nMaybe you&#8217;re wondering why you haven&#8217;t heard about this inhuman crime, perhaps you think your local paper didn\u2019t had time to cover it yet.<br \/>\nI seriously doubt that, since the crime took place in August of 2006, and of your local news outlets, most probably never covered it.

Do you honestly believe there wasn&#8217;t racial bias involved in the choosing of the victims and the malicious violence that was done to them, and yet this story, one of the most hideous murders of the decade, was not covered by the media and was completely ignored by the so called civil rights leaders of all colors.<br \/>\nA dangerous precedent has been set by Eric Holder&#8217;s Justice Department and aided and abetted by the mainstream American media, selective prosecution and selective journalism all calculated to push a political agenda that drives the races in this nation farther apart every day.<br \/>\nNo good will come from Al Sharpton calling for demonstrations around the nation, already a group of blacks have beaten a random Hispanic citizen claiming, &#8220;This is for Trayvon&#8221;.<br \/>\nWhat&#8217;s the difference in this and what the KKK was doing a few short decades ago.
