Prayers for the families of the two victims. Shame on the media for not reporting on such a horrible, horrible, sick, twisted crime involving kidnapping, rape, torture, and murder with no apparent MO other than hatred and evil.
I disagree that the world is growing more evil. Evil has always been present and thankfully, we are growing more civilized.
This case is horrific...no doubt about that. I don't understand why you assume the media is hiding it. Many local crimes don't make it to a national stage.

Truly it is horrible crime but why do you say that the media is not reporting something and you give a media story about the crime? Why the contradiction?
Luke 10:27 (Love God Above All, And Your Neighbor as yourself) And he answering said, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy strength, and with all thy mind; and thy neighbour as thyself.
Matthew 7:12 (Do unto others)
Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them: for this is the law and the prophets.
Matthew 5:43-48 (Pray for those that persecute you)
Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbour, and hate thine enemy.
But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you; That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust. For if ye love them which love you, what reward have ye? do not even the publicans the same? And if ye salute your brethren only, what do ye more than others? do not even the publicans so? Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect.
Luke 6:27-29 (Love your enemies.)
But I say unto you which hear, Love your enemies, do good to them which hate you, Bless them that curse you, and pray for them which despitefully use you. And unto him that smiteth thee on the one cheek offer also the other; and him that taketh away thy cloak forbid not to take thy coat also.

If they find a Christian mistaken in a field which they themselves know well and hear him maintaining his foolish opinions about our books, how are they going to believe those books in matters concerning the resurrection of the dead, the hope of eternal life, and the kingdom of heaven, when they think their pages are full of falsehoods on facts which they themselves have learnt from experience and the light of reason? Reckless and incompetent expounders of holy Scripture bring untold trouble and sorrow on their wiser brethren when they are caught in one of their mischievous false opinions and are taken to task by those who are not bound by the authority of our sacred books.
Isaiah 8:12-13 (NIV) "Do not call conspiracy everything that these people call conspiracy; do not fear what they fear, and do not dread it. The Lord Almighty is the one you are to regard as holy, he is the one you are to fear, he is the one you are to dread."

So, the reporting of what turned out to be a lie in regards to the Duke LaCross team is BIG news when at about the same time a couple was kidnapped, tortured, raped, and brutally murdered, sexual mutilation and post-mortum mutilation by a gang in Tennesee for no apparent reason other than the color of their skin doesn't even make the headlines? This is up there with Manson.
The first conviction of the gang of five just happened.

So...the goal should be a media Circus and not the conviction of the thugs who did this?

So now it's going from Hiding it, and not reporting it to Not making the Headlines.
So I'll ask again Should EVERY Single Murder Be on the Headlines of Every News Media ?

Didn't read the full article, but if it was racially motivated then you can bet it got hidden behind pathetic stories like whether it is proper for M Obama to wear shorts or not...Oh Lord help us... If the color of the skin had been reversed the whole world would know about the evil done to two young innocent people who were more in likely at that wrong place at the wrong time.
This story should be told and those gang members held accountable. This is atrocious and there is no reason whey it should not have received coverage and the truth told.

Sadly, there are way too many murders in the US every day. Also, it is sad how the National media seems to jump on certain stories while ignoring others but that does not make this a case that was ignored, nationally, because of the racial factor. (There have been plenty of other cases which were black against whites that did make prime time news. The OJ Simpson case for one. The LA riot where blacks pulled the white truck driver out of his truck and one threw a brick which caused severe damage is another.)
The case was big news in Tennessee and Kentucky where one of the suspects was caught.
The first conviction of the gang of five just happened.
The first conviction was in April of 2008. It is also not strange for murder trials to take a few years to come to trial.
Hopefully, the trial will end in a conviction for all the guilty parties and just punishment will ensue.
We should all pray for the families. This will take years for them to recover from, if they ever do. I cannot imagine the pain of knowing that your child was murdered in such a horrible fashion.
May God heal their pain and allow them to forgive the guilty parties.
