Race, Riots and Ratings...A crisis too good to waste?


There is a real and dangerous mess taking place in Florida and we may be in for a second Rodney King style period of riots. The Main Stream Media is once again subverting justice and in the interest of ratings, is fanning the flames, literally. The usual suspects  Jessie Jackson and Al Sharpton are in the fore front. Ophra and Spike Lee and even Rose Anne Barr are weighing in when they have zero information and the local authorities are now overwhelmed with a circus that has hampered any chance of a reasonable investigation into the death of Trayvon Martin.
 
You can recall so many cases where we have seen this happen before. OJ murder trial, the Duke La Crosse  Team rape case, Rodney King beating and trial, the Kobe Bryant rape case, Casey Anthony, Natalie Holloway and of course the Jon Benet Ramsey murder.  The media circus creates such a mess that the public gets involved in the theater of the trial and justice is the casualty. I saw this when I was a deputy in Colorado with the Ramsey case. While the media swarmed all over Boulder and the nation watched the chaos, my own county meanwhile worked a horrific gang related rape and murder case of a fourteen year old girl. The Jefferson County investigators successfully investigated, prosecuted and convicted the suspects. But no one knows who that little girl was. Why? Because the MSM was covering Jon Benet.
 
Right now as this case unfolds in Florida and we watch the racial tension rise and even the President putting his two cents in, I dare you to do one thing. Google these two names,  Channon Christian and Christopher Newsome. However, I warn you it is not good. In fact you would be wise to avoid the details but there is real evil among us and when the media glorifies mayhem and violence in the movies and on TV and then selects only some cases for scrutiny and wont touch others because it is too uncomfortable then there is distortion in the information and truth is the casualty.
