Of Local Interest Only
Here's a horrific crime you won't be hearing much about on the national news:
KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (WVLT) — The defense for accused killer Letalvis Cobbins said he cried like a little girl when he was interviewed by officers investigating the brutal murder of Channon Christian and Christopher Newsom in January 2007.
Cobbins is the first of four suspects charged with the carjacking, kidnapping, rape and killing of the young couple. …
The defense doesn't deny Cobbins had a role in these crimes — they just say he doesn't deserve to die for what he did.
Apparently he doesn't deserve much but local media coverage either. That's because Cobbins and his colleagues are welfare-class blacks; their victims were taxpaying whites.
Only a handful of national reports have appeared on the story, like this one at Fox News:
They were bound, blindfolded and brought to [Lemaricus "Slim"] Davidson's rundown rental home in an industrial inner-city neighborhood less than six miles and a world away.
According to defendants' statements, Newsom wasn't there long before he was taken away, sexually assaulted, shot in the back of the head, set on fire and left beside some railroad tracks a few blocks away.
Over the next 24 hours, Channon was raped in every conceivable way, bleach was sprayed in her mouth to destroy evidence and, Coleman told investigators, Davidson "snapped" her neck. Medical Examiner Darinka Mileusnic-Pochan testified at [Eric "E" ] Boyd's trial, however, that the young woman died of suffocation after she was wrapped in plastic bags and dumped in a closed trash can.
Imagine the national media frenzy if the races were reversed. It would be even bigger than the Duke lacrosse rape, with the added benefit that this really happened.

What, no hate crime charges?
This maggot deserves a bullet between the eyes, nothing less.

What, no Obama T-shirt? He's the poster boy for the death penalty.
The only argument regarding this a-hole should concern voltage.
"But he was oppresed, and didn't get to read the Harvard Classics as a boy, and...and.. 400 years of slavery, and...and...racism...and and ...that's why he did it...if he did...so many sonnets to write, so many diseases to cure...so much to give...spare him, no, free him, with the thanks of the court." /liberal

I think they should nail his nuts to a tree stump, and push him over backwards.

What a truly horrifying story. I have a sister in Knoxville.
Posted by: Karin at August 20, 2009 9:49 AM
No doubt misunderstood. It does deserve to die for what It did and I would gladly step up and do It in. In the words of Tom Araya, "Hell Awaits."

On a personal note, I don't like this lethal injection business. When his time came, my beloved dog died from a lethal injection, and he just slumped as though falling asleep, quickly and painlessly.
That was appropriate for him, but for this a-hole, and others like him, we need something more formal and more horrible. Hanging, as in Victorian times, strikes me as especially appropriate.
Also, the sentence should be carried out within a year of conviction. None of this dying of old age on death row crap. That's why the deterrent effect is now low; morons don't connect cause and event very well. If they realized that if they murder someone on New Year's Day, they won't see the next New Year's Day, and will go out in a horrible fashion...then we'll see deterrence. After all, who commits capital crimes in Singapore?

I don't think that a quid pro quo in this case would constitute "cruel and unusual punishment".
He shouldn't be put in a position where he begs society to spare his life... he should be put in a position where he begs society to kill him.

If there's a problem finding somebody to dole out justice, give me a call!
One condition; I pick the method!
BTW, it would be pro bono and I'll pick up the equipment including the 4 horses!

Sounds like a racist hate crime to me.
And yeah, it is Bush's fault.
Posted by: rosie at August 20, 2009 10:27 AM
Imagine, just for a moment, if that guy was white and the couple black. By now we'd already have four or five tearjerker movies and a law named after them. This animal will likely walk away with five years at most.
Posted by: Jay B at August 20, 2009 10:39 AM
Hard to come up with a method of execution that suits the crime, isn't it? They all seem so humane by comparison.
Posted by: Judith M. at August 20, 2009 10:48 AM
For crimes like this the judge should spina giant wheel listing forms of punishment.
Sort of like the wheel in Mad Max 3: Beyond Thunderdome when Max failed to keep his end of the deal and kill Blaster after he knocked his helmet off.
The ones they had listed were a good start. I would certainly make the penalty phase of a capital crime far more interesting.
Death, Hard Labour, Acquittal, Gulag, Aunty's Choice, Spin Again, Forfeit Goods, Underworld, Amputation, and Life Imprisonment.

I don't go in for gratuitous cruelty, even if it were justified, but on the other hand, I think it's important that the execution be horrible enough to have a deterrent effect. Hanging strikes me as the right balance.
Posted by: Jay Guevara at August 20, 2009 11:08 AM
Here's a survey, totally unscientific, but one which demonstrates how thoroughly biased and corrupt our liberal media is.
Even though Cobbins is on trial right now for this brutal crime, a google news search for "Channon Christian" drew only 434 hits for news stories; "Christopher Newsom" drew 385 hits; and, "Letalvis Cobbins" drew 221 hits.
But, when I googled "Matthew Shephard" -- despite the fact that he was murdered more than 10 years ago -- his name still generated hits on more than 100 recent news stories.
Only with liberalism can one reconcile dwelling for years on an admittedly horrific crime against a homosexual, yet virtually ignore an equally horrific crime against a young couple as the trial is taking place.

Liberalism has absolutely destroyed this country.
Scholars will look back and determine that the spineless, bleeding heart, sanctimonious, hypocrital, politically correct ass clowns that took us down this path in the 1960's to today are to blame for the death of the greatest country the world has ever known.
HATE is not a strong enough word for what I feel for these a**holes.

Black on white violence is a taboo subject for the media. when you look at the grim statistics, you realize interracial crime is largely one directional: blacks against innocent whites.

Easy folks this is one of Ghost of Wellstones heroes. Him and his distorted friends that created scum like this, and refuses to put it where it belongs or even acknowledge, that the liberals are the criminals best friends.
Thank You Ghost of Wellstone, you have helped to reduce the population! And if you don't mind clean up the scum that you have unleashed

Proof that we need to bring back public hangings.
If they're seriously having trouble finding executioners for these criminals... they know where to look.
... I'd take up that job with a smile on my face.

I say part him out! He has two good lungs, a heart (never used), a couple quarts of blood, and miles of blood vessels and arteries. Think of how many lives he could save by being a live organ donor!

Actually, it's easy. Anyone who kills another human being is killed in the exact same manner. Immediately.

I think he should be subjected to my version of "water-boarding"......
strapped to a board head lower than feet. A small strip of leather impregnated with fish hooks, with string attached, placed on the tongue. Water slowly dripped on the leather strip until it's saturated.He has the choice to swallow or begin drowning. Believe me he'll swallow, he won't be able to not swallow. Now take the string and retrieve the leather strip. Squeeze it out and repeat..... If you want to be humane, you can ask him if he wants you to sever his femoral artery after the 5th retrieval. When he says "yes", tell him you were just kidding while you put the leather strip back in his mouth.....

Thank you for reporting on this one, it has been a media BLACKOUT on what they did to that poor couple. I wish the animals would get the death penalty and allow it to be carried out by the parents of the slain humans.
Posted by: Heartbroken at August 20, 2009 4:30 PM
Oh yes, this thing definitely "deserves to die", and many, many times over AND IN EVERY CONCEIVABLE WAY...
Posted by: Dave M at August 20, 2009 6:43 PM
My question is why is this thing even being tried in a court of law. He is not one of our fellow men, this thing is a animal and should be treated and put down as one. This is what a humanlike shell looks like without a soul.

Terrible terrible story. Two beautiful kids savagely murdered by 5 pieces of shit.
Lethal injection is too good for them.
I say we put them out in the field and allow them to be stoned to death.
This is a HATE crime. Pure and simple. In all seriousness if the races were reversed we'd have another Rodney King riot like we did in California in 1992. All the liberals know this.
OK Liberal Pukes - are you going to defend these scum? Will you call it a hate crime which is what it really is?
I live to see the day these fucks are put into the shredder.

If that doesn't deserve death than nothing does. There are very few cases that I would ever want to be executioner, but this is one I would do it for.

Just think, LIBERAL Glasgow would be releasing them in 22 days (11 days per victim). Possibly sooner because of their race.

Can't find a better example to bring back the word nigger, because that is exactly what we have here.
I'm thinking all involved including a few media types that cowardly hide this hate crime should get a lifetime sharing a cell listening to Butch McDick and his band of Sodomites.

I would like just 2 minutes with this scumbag before sending him off to hell.
Maybe he'll get a presidential pardon?
Posted by: Mooseknuckle at August 21, 2009 10:37 AM
Oh yes i can see it now this is the reason the country needs to do away with our rights to own and carry weapons. These poor mistreated youths could have ended up DRT (dead right there) if they would have targeted the wrong couple that had a firearm in their possession...WHAT COURAGE IT TOOK TO PERFORM THESE ACTS.I seldom feel the need to get out the M-4 but in this case i would volunteer to do the State's dirty work on behalf of the victims,,,,STAY SAFE YALL
Posted by: kent at August 21, 2009 11:41 AM
The black community wants respect yet black leadership won't speak out about this barbaric act committed against whites. If the tables were turn and that where a black couple subjected to such murderous torture you wouldn't hear the end of it from the black leadership.
The only thing you would hear from Sharpton, Jackson, and Wright would be excuses like: "They was growed up po" or "It en dey culta". Fuck these murders and hang them HI! I'll be happy to kick the chair. Fuck the murders families as well for spawning and raising these black racist MONSTERS!
