5 Feet of Fury

Don’t hold your breath waiting for the HBO movie version

The first Knoxville Horror trial concludes. Stix writes of the racially motivated, black-on-white crime:

The carjacking was the first in a chain of crimes, including kidnapping, assault, theft, multiple forms of  gang rape, torture, murder and corpse desecration committed in Knoxville on January 7, 2007, variously against  Channon Christian, 21, and her boyfriend,  Christopher Newsom, 23, that U.S Attorney James R. Dedrick recently called “one of, if not the most, horrendous crimes ever committed in Knoxville, Tennessee.”

(…)

Our legal system was not designed to deal with offenders like Eric Boyd, with their multitudinous crimes and mitigating circumstances.

The more “diverse” America becomes, the more it will be comprised of hostile communities who refuse to police themselves, the more police will be handcuffed, the more common Knoxville-style atrocities will become—and the more commonly judges will face issues that King Solomon himself couldn’t see his way through.
