SR North you are absolutely correct about the whole twisted double standard for what is considered a hate crime. National media has lost credibility on my book.

I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again: Sedate all of these murderers, buckle them in, and SHIP THEM OFF TO THE MOON TO DO PHYSICAL LABOR. THEY OWE IT TO SOCIETY FOR THE CRIMES THEY’VE COMMITTED. We don’t owe them a comfortable cell block, tv, libraries, rehab, phys ed, food, etc., WE DON’T OWE THEM ANYTHING! And please don’t tell me it’s too expensive…can you put a price on this young womans’ head???!!!!

I am an african-american woman, and I came across this case on the internet about a year ago. The details of this case still haunt me til this day. I’ve seen references to Sharpton and others, and i have to say, I’m in agreement. What happened to these two young people was horriffic. The people that committed AND stood by and watched this awful crime should be tortured like these two young people were. The details in this case took my breath away. ANIMALS!! I’m sorry that they were all black, because they are truly a burden to every decent black person on this planet. Not sure of why this case didn’t receive more media attention, but it should have. I doubt that ANYONE would come to the defense/aid of these monsters.

I say, take color out of this case completely, and just look at the facts. Two, young innocent lives were snuffed out, without rhyme or reason. Completely unprovoked, for no reason at all. If the details of this case don’t pull at your heartstrings, then something is truly wrong. My heart and prayers still goes out for the family of Shannon and Christopher, and I hope their murderers burn in Hell.

Temujin said..”"It is backwards.”"

This Sir, is how I basically see all Liberal “logic”…. BACKWARDS!!! WE see law…. THEY see how to circumvent it…. We see truth…. they are the masters of the lie…. We see RIGHT…. they revel in the wrong….We FIGHT crime…. they seek to “excuse” it!! Today, the difference is, Up is now down.. Black is white, right is wrong.. etc etc… the MAIN difference between us and them in this is.. WE have the backing of the Founders ideals… Washington, Jefferson etc… and of the nations history…. AND the Official rulebook, the CONSTITUTION !! They have???

They have.. “I WANT”!!!

@Hankster58: Precisely my point. If the leftists in the US can support abortion, even late term abortion, why would they not support the death penalty and just think of it as a “late term abortion” at whatever age the guilty SOB happens to be? Why is it okay to take the life of a fetus and not an animal like any one of those five? That is insane. Why not save the babies and send animals like this to their grave immediately? It is backwards. Take the life of an innocent fetus but refuse to take the life of a horrendous murderer that is a cancer on society…. How can any human not see the difference? Which deserves to live? The innocent unborn or a Cobbins? Someone has to explain that warped logic to me.

Latalvis Cobbins can appeal his life without parole, in about 10yrs. and very well could get out!…
i know it seems unfair but it can happen!…he got on the stand and testified, which actually helped him, because people wanted to hear his voice and show some kind of remorse for what he did,and at least apologize….People in East Tn. are so forgiving and understand people to a certain extent.
this case is so horrible, and unbelieveable….. i get so angry at these people for what they did, I want to shoot them myself!….but it cant bring anyone back, so we have to look at like maybe God needed those two kids in heaven with him, and Im sure they are well taken care of up there too!

OK, the gang “leader” was sentenced to death — something many of us will never see in our lifetimes. The other pervert was sentenced to prison — but for how long? Is he eligible for parole?

What of the other 3 who participated in this heinous torture?

Please stay on-top of this as none of these criminals should ever breath a breath of “free air”.

Please bring the defendants found guilty to my house this afternoon. After checking the wind to make sure the smell does not bother my neighbors, I will dispatch them quickly….or not…..
Then with a clear conscience can I go out and celebrate real “justice” with dinner and a beer.
Any court district which cannot expedite and complete all appeals and proceed with an execution within 5 years (yeah …I know that’s too long) should have all the judges and lawyers involved be disbarred……….. The taxpayers should not have to keep these scum alive any longer than necessary…..
