Teresa Bo is argentinian and really hot journalist

[kaylakane]

I know anyone outside the US dose not know what happend. The kid Bell asked to sit under a tree that BLACK & WHITE have used for years. He has been CONVICTED of 3 previos violent crimes and one more since this (total-4). He is just a violent little shit that belongs in prison regardless of race. He and 5 kids after knocking out a kid not in this school (or realated to the noises stomped him), thats attempted murder.

[suhailshafi]

Al Jazeera has excellent coverage of the USA.

[KwakuAnanse]

thanks for that suhailshafi

[EastAtlantaboy]

And what is up with this news lady!! OMG The qualifications for this job must not be that much because she is horrible. This motivates me though because if she could get a good paying job, I know damn well I'm on my way to become a millionaire.

[Beachbug1vw]

For those of you who don't know, Al-Jazeera English is funded and run by the US Government in an effort to get the real story out to counter the Arab Al-Jazeera un-truths!

[crasmane]

I don't consider this to be a smear job.

[spamiam]

Holy Freaking Smokes! What a complete smear-job on the US by the international media! Are they freaking serious with that? Unbelievable! Al-Jazeera? The folks who cover up more war crimes than black burkas cover female flesh in 110 degrees?

Screw them. This matter will be dealt with appropriately, according to the Constitution of the United States of America, and nobody involved in this *rare* event will be beheaded no matter the outcome. Put THAT on Al-Jazeera TV.

[lllllDIElllll]

NOPE NO BIG RALLY THERE HUH

[lllllDIElllll]

It was several days before the police found her body. She had been stuffed into a garbage can in the house. According to a story posted on the WATE T.V. News web site, she was, "in five separate dark trash bags."

The four men and the woman were eventually arrested. They are all black. Christian and Newsom were white. Two of the murderers had prior felony convictions.

[lllllDIElllll]

Channon Christian was a senior at the University of Tennessee. According to the charges and a source close to the investigation, she was repeatedly gang raped by the four men -- vaginally, anally and orally. Before she died, her murderers poured a household cleaner down her throat, apparently in an effort to kill the DNA they had placed there. She was left to die, either from the bleeding caused "by the tearing," or from asphyxiation. Knoxville officials won't say.

[lllllDIElllll]

All four men are charged with the anal rape of Christopher Newsom. They did so in the presence of Channon Christian. They then shot him to death, wrapped him in bedding, soaked him in gasoline and set him on fire. He was the lucky one.

[lllllDIElllll]

On that night, 21-year-old Channon Christian, and her boyfriend, 23-year-old Hugh Christopher Newsom were carjacked in Knoxville by three thugs. Their attackers were sadly not satisfied with the Toyota 4-Runner that they commandeered at gunpoint. They kidnapped the young couple and took them to the house where one of the perps lived. They were joined by a fourth man and a woman. They proceeded to commit the stomach-churning crimes.

[lllllDIElllll]

On January 6th, 2007 a double murder was committed in Knoxville that would make Dirty Harry throw up. It has many of the elements that the Duke not-a-rape story had. It has race, and class and gender, as well as rape -- but made more horrific by murder. A terrible injustice had been committed against innocent, helpless people at the hands of vicious thugs.

One thing that some racists from this page are forgetting is that America is regarded as a model for justice and democracy in the world. But because of the stupidity of people like this prosecutor and your president, rogue nations with appalling human rights records will be seen as no worse than America. The world is becoming smaller every day and from my desk in Africa, I can see the ignorance in some people on this page. Cerebral flachulant at its best!

[Kalydosos]

lee2575 Well said coudn't agree more!

[racism7is7a7cancer]

I have felt the effect of racism by a profesional source and when a professional person is racist. It is worse than just any person out on the street. To goatbut29 I feel if anyone commits a crime yes they should recieve the penilty for what they did but there is a racist system going on. You would not feel it uness you were black.

[jonnypicaso9991]

i think people forget to realise that this was also a racist attack, the kid was picked on because he was white, but this seems to have gone unnoticed, he would not have been attacked if he was from any other race. now what would have been interesting is if the situation was turned round and the attackers were white and the victim was black, the black community would be calling for the strongest charges possible, such hypocrisy! but this will never be admitted.

[EastAtlantaboy]

Today in the white society, whenever a race problem occurs, they always resort to asking "what if." What if the victim was black!? What if it was 6 white kids that beat up 1 white kid and the 6 white kids was charged as adults and was facing up to 22 years in prison! This was a double standard, so quit it with your bigot talk. lol Your facts are all wrong. You need to evolve social, political, and literary. You need to undergo an evolutionary change!

[jonnypicaso9991]

was this not a racist attack by those black kids????!!!! would that kid have been beaten up if he was not white???!!! no. so why is it not headlined as a racist attack as it would be if the situation was reversed, is all i want to know.

[EastAtlantaboy]

??? Please stop. Your really enducing out your ignorance. You need to go through a process of gradual change, quick. A racist attack? lol Mr. Jonny the black kids did not bring race into this. That's all I going to say, you have a computer use it to do more research before you come up with a blunt conclusion.

[outthetube]

ch6ysgdt, cold mountain frogs like you are as incompatibles human beasts and cancer to the world. You and others like you are the lords of anger and rage. It's only a matter of time you know what mercilessness is like.

[lebambi]

This case highlight the fact that white people continued terrorism against African people should meet resistance at all cost. they have double standard in everything they do against us, and they seem not be able to apply the law equally on everybody yet they claim china is abusing it citizen human right when in china you do not see this kind of terrorism white people run against African people of America.

[mecpone]

They are not AFRICAN you ignorant person...they are BLACK AMERICAN and if ANYONE CAN ARGUE THAT PLEASE DO!!!You live in AFRICA so how could you possibly know what you are talking about in Americia...you talk bad about America but you wish you lived here...you make me sick.

[bEx3d]

why are you so angry over some semantics. white people here call themselves irish, or say their german all the time. maybe you should try debating the actual problems with lebambi's argument as you see it instead of being childish and resorting to name calling.

[mecpone]

You need to watch the video above and then read again to what you speak of. .Personally I know not one single person who is after the people of Africia...looks to me that we Americans be black or white do tons of things to help Black Africans. if the rolls were turned,AlJazeera would NOT be saying THE IRISH, or the GREMAN did so and so...it would juust be THE WHITE kids.

[nicholas9999]

mecpone: being disingenuous in the youtubes comments section is not going to get you much of anywhere. It is obvious he is talking about Blacks here in America (note, "African people of America"). You know very well who he's talking about.

[mecpone]

U R right.U R also missing the point...just as all the African people flooding the streets because a African boy is being CHARGED FOR A CRIME that he did to a random European boy.HE IS BEING HELD FOR A VIOLENT CRIME...this makes him a civil right hero...hmm

[IheartLatinoMen]

no it won't be happening in 3007 the world will be too mixed by then, white people may be entirely extinct by then. They predict that almost everyone will soon be a light brown color because of all the mixing no one will know who is what, and we will have no choice but to get along.

[carrey17]

Still doesn't make it right. And what basis would black students have for hanging nooses off an oak tree? There's no precidence for that. Blacks have never had that kind of power over white people in America. Those students knew what they were doing when they put up that noose. They knew what it represented.

[MustafaPresents]

Black people in the United States have the right to protest against the historically racist American culture.

[Benj231983]

born with rage inside them? sounds like your the one with rage!!! so glad you only joking though!!!!

[BrynWebb18]

aaa I sure do love living in England where there is some sort of common sense when it comes to culture

[shegax03]

yeah one of the reasons why I (an american) is leaving the states to new zealand. Getting crazy over here man.
