They obviously knew nothing about that part - as DNA was found on her body. While bleach can destroy DNA, they would probably never be able to get it all. Plus they didn't think to remove finger prints from the car?
High or not, you know when your doing an evil thing, even if you are “not in the right state of mind”, you put yourself there willingly when you took the drugs. Drugs have nothing to do with what these monsters did.
If you’re ever attacked… NEVER and I mean never let them take you to a second location. Once you’re moved to another location not only are your odds of being found alive almost gone but you’re last moments on this earth going to be almost worse than death. Fight with everything you have like your life depends on it because it does.
isn't that easy to say "in hindsight" especially since no one knows how they'll (if they were in the position of the victims) would behave whilst in paralyzing fear
I have two teenage daughters, one a freshman and one a senior, as heartbreaking as it's been, I've had to have these conversations with them. Not because I want to scare them, but because they MUST be prepared and understand what has to be done. I've told both my daughters that if ever you are approached leaving work, a mall, store, etc.... by some one with a gun, knife, or weapon demanding you "get in their vehicle", you have to fight, scream, and take that bullet or get stabbed, but you DO NOT EVER follow their instructions and get in the vehicle. You will not be found alive. You will be raped, tortured, and most likely killed. You stand a better chance of survival taking that bullet right there in the parking lot where hopefully, a passerby sees or hears what's going on. It breaks my heart, but we have this conversation at least every other month.
I didn't say i disagreed with the concept hell i watch and follow lazy masquerade (sp?) who did a whole video on this. i'm just saying it's important to be aware of our words and understand that most things even in life are death are easier said then done if we haven't ourselves experienced them
Cobbin’s testimony which he exchanged for a reduced sentence is *beyond horrifying.* Some of the most disturbing words I’ve ever heard come out of a human mouth. He goes into great detail about how he was told to guard Channon after she’d been gangrxped by all of the men there, tied up, and thrown into a spare bedroom for several hours. During that time, Cobbins freely admits to repeatedly rxping Channon orally, but unbelievably has the nerve to claim it was “consensual sex”, despite him also describing Channon as tied up, sobbing and crying, bleeding, and terrified. He even describes how she begged him to please help her, untie her, anything, and he’d shrugged and told her he couldn’t because the others might beat him up if he did. And then he casually rxped her. And as disturbing as those details are, the part that really chills my blood is that he testifies about all of this with this fake sadness, as if he were describing how he cheated on his homework. He didn’t even think he’d done anything wrong. Like shit happens, your honor. Every person in that house was a monster in human form. Every single one.
Exactly. Anyone who follows this knows. Thank you for summarizing . The truth is difficult to deal with but truth must be acknowledged for ultimate justice to be served. All of those monsters should be permanently sequestered. Too bad not put to death. They are a blight on society; waste of air and space.
god i looked only a little into this case because i wanted to know more details, thankfully at the time i didn’t stumble upon what you’re talking about. thank you for sharing it. just makes me feel better about being so horrified of this case. the evil that was committed by those monsters… breaks my heart to know what Channon and Chris went through.
He Was Sentenced To Life Without Parole In Prison. Then When He Was On The Stand. Nothing But Crocodile Tears. He Also Took Part In Raping Channon. All Of Their Evil Asses Should've, Been Sentenced To Death.
@@donnacrenshaw3105 All of them. They acted like subhuman predators and should have been executed for such evil heinous crimes. They not only raped both of them, but castrated Christopher Newson and performed a crude mastectomy on Channon. They also blinded Christopher and forced him to drink gasoline before setting him on fire forcing her to watch the whole ordeal before killing him right in front of her, which you rarely hear about. They then routinely raped Channon for the next 3 days before killing her as well by tying her up in a garbage bag suffocating her and stuffing her into a garbage can. Christopher body was dismembered and also stuffed into garbage bags and deposited in a dumpster. This was a DISGUSTING horrific race crime and they even ADMITTED it to the Jury as one of their main motives but were ultimately not charged with it. Cobbins spilled the beans because he thought he was going to get the death penalty and ultimately him telling got him out of it. Coleman also spilled the beans because she thought her attorney could weasel her sentence down to less than 20 years and she claimed to have no involvement in the actual killings or rapes, but as it turns out forensic evidence also showed she raped Christopher AND Channon. She was also the primary verbal tormenter of Channon while the other 4 committed the actual physical acts for the most part according to Cobbins. Cobbins was really the key to this whole case being blown wide open and to a lesser extent Coleman. The news media outlets barely mentioned this incident because the perpetrators were black and the victims white. Probably THE worst race crime since the 1960's. By the way Coleman might get out of prison on parole in 2030 which would be horrific. All five of them should have been executed at the discretion of the victim's families. Judge Baumgartner said the crime was "one of the most incredibly outrageous, cruel and inhumane cases this court has ever seen." He also said, "how people can engage in this type of conduct is just unexplainable" and "there really is no sentence great enough to punish you for the conduct you have been convicted of." I 100% agree with this statement.
I'm from Knoxville and this is one of the worst crimes in recent memory. It didn't get much press outside of Tennessee, I'm glad to see someone covering it.
What strikes me the most is the raw violence of the abuse that Channon and Chris both suffered. I can only recall a rare few cases with this level of extreme, physical trauma. This wasn't just a carjacking that turned into a sexual kidnapping. It was a deliberate act of sadistic brutality. They put effort into hurting those two people. The perpetrators should be scrubbed from the face of the earth.
Not to be a dick, but there's thousands upon thousands of cases like this (not in the US) but from my studies of systemic euthanasia and torture methods through history, this unfortunately does not stand out. Sickening world.
@@Yungbeck it does stand out. I’ve studied countless cases as well for decades, from all over the world- and this one ranks *well above* the norm in the fact that it’s not just how brazen of an attack, but how savagely brutal and sadistic it was. Most murderers kill people within a few minutes, maybe an hour or so, tops. This was a large group- 5 people that brutally tortured 2 random people, Chris for 4+ hours, and Shannon for well over a day, and then *buried her alive* This is not a “normal” murder by any means whatsoever. Statistically speaking, it’s far beyond the scope of what typically happens to murder victims- thank god.
I went to school with Chris in Halls. He was very popular and was one of the kindest people. Very chill person. He would help any one out who needed it. This event absolutely gutted everyone who knew them. R.I.P always
My brother was in the courtroom: My brother was dating Channon Newsom’s best friend when this happened. To get through the horror of the case, she asked my brother to go to the trail with her. And my brother did go to the trial, every single day. From my brother I heard every detail of this case. A lot of the worse parts of the trail still aren’t public ally available. Ultimately, Channon and Christian were kidnapped, tortured, raped, and killed for fun and racial hatred. True remorseless killers.
I can totally see how the racial aspect fits into this. You have to REALLY hate someone to be so inhumane and conniving, and considering the perpetrators didn't previously know the victims, the hatred is apparent if not blatantly obvious. It shocks me that there are even _worse_ parts we still don't know about, too.
@DBG the definitely hated white people, but the real motive behind Channon and Chris’ death was boredom and fun. Truly, one of the killers said “their was nothing on tv, so we went out driving. One of them saw Channon, he wanted to rape her, so they went and got her.” There was no planning, no overwhelming drive to kill, this was just their version of having fun. Each of them hates white people, they were asked “were you specifically looking to hurt a white person?” and each one answered “yes”. There’s a lot more details to this case, but ultimately these killers kidnapped, tortured, and killed Channon and Chris because they were bored and they wanted to have some fun hurting some white people.
@Downtown Duece my brother suffered through the trial to be there as a comfort to his girlfriend. The one’s who where beyond strong where the families of Channon and Chris. Their families were in the courtrooms for months listening and seeing the evidence of how their children were killed. That’s one thing from watching video that is nice, because you get the majority of the facts all at once. But the actual trials took months. It was a slow painful agony of new evidence that came out, and everyday was some new horrible detail about what happened to Channon and Chris.
Yes you can. Go on. Try. How do they make you feel? What is your first emotion that you have coming to you instinctively when you're told what they did? Do you want to take revenge? Try writing it down, express your emotions, you don't need to show anyone else but it helps if you feel overwhelmed.
There are few things I can think that I would enjoy more than torturing these 5 pieces of sh*t to death. I can’t call them people and I can’t call them animals, as that would be an insult to all animals. I happen to have been watching a lot of videos lately about Komodo Dragons before seeing this story and I can’t help but think about the way they enjoy literally eating their prey alive while it screams, and fights in vain to try and get away from the steel trap like jaws and razor sharp teeth. I cannot picture a more glorious or fitting end then to sit down with a flat of beer and a couple packs of cigarettes, hanging each one of these living pieces of sh*t from their wrists with their feet barely touching the ground and allowing two hungry Komodo Dragons to go to work on them. Slowly tearing away the raw dripping flesh from their leg bones, while looking hungrily up into their prey’s eyes and greedily gulping it down before taking their next bite. Slowly lowering them down to continue giving the dragons easy access to their meal. The pure entertainment and amusement that I would derive from their howls and groans of torment and agony is difficult to imagine, let alone describe. Along with the looks on the faces of their 4 remaining friends. Sitting nearby, tied to chairs, impatiently awaiting their turns and not missing a single moment of what their short, agonizing future holds in store for them. RIP Channon and Christopher ☠️🐊☠️🙏🍻
Her dad must have this phone call burned into his head, talking to his daughter not thinking about much and finding out later on that while he was talking to her live, she was going through hell and worse while he didn't know anything. If stuff like that were to happen to me I would have severe PTSD whenever someone called to tell me they're coming back late. May Channon and Chris rest in peace and much love to their families. This one touched me more than I wish it did

I don't believe for a second that the 4 losers were driving around for people to car-jack. If they were looking for a car they wouldn't have abducted the pair. Saying they weren't out to kidnap, rape and kill helps their story in the eyes of the law and gives them a reduced sentence because its not premeditated. RIP to the victims. I hope everyone involved never sees the light of another free day.
supposedly they were only going to take her SUV and saw the lights of a car coming and it spooked them and they took them. then I read that lemaricus (the ringleader who looks like a literal demon) had seen Channon at that apartment complex and was stalking her and got tipped off as to her being there.
I believe that if the races had been reversed, our system wouldn't have hesitated a second to call it a hate crime. I don't know if it would even matter what the true motive was.

I had a sensei take a half hour to tell us what to do if we were ever bullied or physically abused or trapped. He said to do as much as we physically could to cause damage to the attacker, even if we were "defeated", damage the attacker so much that any time they see you, they think thoughts like "even if I kill him, I might lose both eyes". I think about that often.

This one just feels so pointless. The whole ordeal just seemed so baseless. A robbery escalated to torture for no other reason than they just felt like it.
@@westonblanchard5404 This. The news media tried their hardest to cover it up too. Yet when someone dies whilst resisting arrest there are worldwide riots, their violent criminal history is scrubbed from most records and they get statues in their honor.

My dad's a now retired Memphis police officers who has friends that worked that case and they all suffered from PTSD because of this case.. it's also worth mentioning that the sister of one of those things participated in sexually abusing Channon and kept a journal detailing the "fun" she was having.

Hello Mr. Hand. There is no question that this is the most outrageous, vile, and lip curling crime that I have been made aware of, and I have previously watched two other videos that have covered this same incident. However, what is important here, is that your delivery in this video rises above, and might be more correctly referred to as a performance. I can hear in your voice, the disgust toward the perpetrators, and the extent of human anguish that was endured by the victims. Thank you for this superior video.
The horrible case of Junko Furata is one of the only cases which I found to be worse than this one, it's hard to fathom how evil these perpetrators are it breaks my heart knowing that the victims endured such horrors 😞
@@cloudbloom Are you suggesting that I should look for a video regarding that case, or are you suggesting that I specifically NOT look for it, due to excessively disturbing factors that might upset the average viewer?
Disturban also does an amazing job with this story and many many others like it. Check out his stuff if you like SH. I think they have even collaborated. I don’t wish to revisit this one, or I would listen to his take on it too. Cheers
If someone is trying to kidnap you, RUN AWAY or FIGHT BACK if cornered. It doesn't matter if the perp(s) are armed or not. Better to be shot right away than suffer a protracted torture.
Are you people mental? You think you're in control? Do you really think any of you have the power to change a fate like this once decided? Get out of your fantasy. There is nothing these two could have done. I can't fathom the kind of response you'd give to this reality that isn't agreement that wouldn't be sheer irrationality.

Reverse the roles, and this would've been national news for years. Politicians would still be referencing it today. Instead, nobody has ever heard about it.
Nah it is pretty well known, it was a right wing cause célèbre. Comparable to James Byrd Jnr imo. Possibly the latter is better known but I imagine that is bc of the echoes of lynching etc

@@lalalarose8197 because of feminism, especially modern feminism, the men are seen as villains and women as blameless victims, what most people tries to ignore is that anyone can fall victim of anyone, no matter your race, beliefs, gender and social status
Justice was NOT served in this appalling crime against life itself. Each one of these POS monsters who dehumanized their victims should have already long been six feet under.
The death penalty is a very long and drawn out process, it can take 10-20 or more years to exhaust all of the appeals. Even if they’re without a doubt guilty But these sickos will never be released, being in a cell for 20 hours a day is hell.
I think so too. Sometimes there isn't enough evidence to charge a hate crime though, even when they clearly are. The prosecution has to prove the killers targeted Chris and Shannon because they were white (beyond a reasonable doubt.).
Yeah my dad even called this a hate crime. I am a white male myself but I was adopted when I was 3 months old into a Black family which has given me a unique view on race relations. Especially when it comes to white and black relations. I basically only really only been surrounded by black culture my entire life but I still try to make sure I understand and embrace every culture
I’ve lived near Knoxville my whole life and this still has lasting effects in the racial relations of the area. I remember hearing about this all the time in mostly black neighborhoods to warn me to stay away
Most horrific case of being at the wrong place at the wrong time I've ever heard of. I wish I could turn back time and tell them not to go to that parking lot.
@@hugh.g.rection.69 of course they are. But the criminals also seemed very opportunistic. They sensed the smallest amount of vulnerability and pounced. I just wish the couple weren't there so this never would've happened. To them or anyone else for that matter.
It's probably cause it never got far enough down the woman's throat to do any damage. Vary heart breaking to have to think ab those middle details though.
@@bowmanyoung300 i assumed "poured it down her throat" meant they made her swallow it, but now that i think about it, they could have just poured it in her mouth and she managed to spit most of it back out. Anyway, drinking bleach can be a surprisingly slow and agonizing death, especially if you don't drink a lot of it. so it might not have been listed as a cause of death because it didn't have enough time to kill her before the asphyxiation did.
Someone should do to those bastards exactly what they did to this beautiful young couple. Fuckers weren't so high that they didn't know about DNA. I followed the case here in the UK and it broke my heart, having had male friends experience rape. But to experience it like this - there are no words. They tortured her like Junko Furuta and to competely emasculate poor Chris before killing him and disposing of both of them like rubbish. I feel nothing but rage each time I hear about the case.
@@barneyronnie it doesn't cause violence correct. But violent people get more dopamine from commiting violence while on pcp and it also lowers decision making abilities so they're more likely to be violent while on PCP or whatever other drugs, if they're already a violent person.

Sad, isn't it. Nobody can say that blacks don't meet the rough end of the stick with one another, law enforcement, or whoever. But it's just ridiculous that the media weaponizes racial tension against the public the way they do. I mean, if you wanted to dig into the statistics and investigate the reality of crimes occurring vs reported on mass media, you would see the bias and start to be concerned... with so few powerful individuals and corporations running these stations... what is their real fucking objective? I mean, clearly to keep the population dumb, fighting one another and divided so that these rich can continue to enjoy their free ride above us all. No Country, Government or Business wants smart citizens or customers that are united, because there is more of us than there are them. Divide and conquer. Hence, the bullshit situation this entire planet is in - thanks money, thanks greed.

This is one of the worst crimes I have EVER heard of. Thank you so much for covering this. Those two didn’t deserve any of this. It actually hurt getting through this. These monsters deserved so much worse than what they got.
This case is one of the worst ones I’ve ever heard. I cannot imagine what they went through. It physically makes me sick hearing the details. I hope they’re at peace now.
Vanessa sat in a cell and told her cell mates how the poor girl cried for her father. As to what both went through.... They hoped for rescue. It is part of the torture. They both knew they were going to die but still hoped for rescue.
Don’t worry she’s got a $400,000 price on her head. She’ll get hers. I hopes she’s scared shitless when she gets out. I hope she never has peace again.
For people against the death penalty, if you can prove they did it with out a reasonable doubt. Behave like animals get put down like an animal, pure evil no remorse for the oxygen thiefs.
Not trying to get into a argument here, but I would like to point out that "reasonable doubt" is the threshold for any criminal conviction, in the US at least, so supporting the death penalty only in cases where there's no reasonable doubt of guilt is the same thing as just supporting the death penalty.
Thank you for covering this. I was overseas when it occured, but it tore up so many people back home, as it did us that was from there . These absolute monsters deserve whatever they get, no cards to play here, just ended. God rest these two and bless their families, and again thank you for the truth and clarity to one of our states ugliest murders.
it wasnt "sexy" enough. meaning there is not enough interest in black on white crime. the race baiters like Rev Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson cant make any money off of this.
They took the hideous steps of pouring bleach down Channon's throat and setting Chris's body on fire to get rid of the DNA, but didn't think to wipe the car of their fingerprints. Brilliant.
I've heard about this story numerous times over the years, It truly saddens me every time I hear about this terrible racially-motivated crime, They should've all gotten the chair.
Stop hijacking a tragic case like this to be a racist piece of shit. Two people died painfully and all you can do is jerk off about MUHHHH BLACKS UGHHHHH. You are sick.
As a big true-crime consumer- this is the single most horrific crime I've ever heard of in my life. The senselessness. The hatred. The suffering. All of it compounded by the pitiful sentences received by the offenders. I can't express enough to Channon and Christians loved ones how much I hope they can somehow find peace and be comforted by the memory of darling Channon and Christian, who are together forever and freed from any and all suffering. I'm just so sorry.
Apparently a white person can't be a victim of racism, the fact someone is caucasian somehow precludes them from this. I suppose it's a similar nonsense logic like the fact a black person can't be a racist for some reason.Both ideas are some of the most nonsensical I've ever heard leave any persons mouth! And I've heard both statements many times. Absolutely outrageous.
I have followed this crime since it happened. I haven't watched the video yet but there are a few things I want to mention. The first is, people don't realize just how depraved this crime really was. Channon was sexually assaulted by 3 of the men. The one female in the group was the girlfriend of one of the men and she was "jealous" that her boyfriend was having sexual contact with Channon. JEALOUS! When Channon's photos of her damaged body were shown at the trial, one of the first was a close up of her perineum. The area between her vagina and her anus. The area was not recognizable. It was described by the doctor who performed the autopsy as being one giant hematoma, resembling bloody hamburger meat. Though it was never proven, the theory of how her body received such damage was that Vanessa (the girlfriend of Letalvis Cobbins) was so infuriated at Channon that she kicked Channon over and over between the legs wearing, possibly, a boot. The photograph was so horrific that a young woman working with the DA's team glanced up at the photo and she immediately fainted at the sight. The hearing was halted and the defense tried to get the judge to throw out the case based on the bias that they said the jury would have been exposed to by seeing her pass out! Luckily, even though the judge was hopped up on opiates that he was addicted to during the trial, he had the good sense to decline the request. I watched the trial and Channon and Chris's families were treated TERRIBLY by the judge. He refused to allow them to wear any clothing or pins that had pictures or encouraging words for their loved ones in the courtroom like we see most families do. The defense were allowed to call into question Channon and Chris's past drug use, which turned out to be a dirty accusation. Channon's parents were able to provide a recent drug test as Channon, who was a college senior, also held 3 part time jobs and one was T a hospitL that she's just had to take a routine drug test. Because Chris had casually taken a friend's ADD medication that bight he had it in his blood and the defense tried to say that Channon and Chris were drug abusers who were known to drive to neighborhoods known to he drug markets. They tried to say Channon was sleeping with one of the killers consensually but the DA proved it was just the defense trying to smear Channon and Chris's reputations. As a result there was a law passed in Channon's name prohibiting defense attorneys from trying to criminalize victims. I am a woman and I do not know what kind of woman could sit back and watch as 4 men brutalized these people. They were all monsters, but Vanessa the girlfriend was a special kind of sick in the head. For a dY and a half she had many opportunities to free Channon or to call for help for her. She knew what was happening and instead she sat and watched and listened to Channon's life being slowly snuffed and instead of helping the woman, she spent time writing in a diary about what a "fun and exciting time" she was having in Tennessee! How revolting and sick. While awaiting trial Vanessa was allowed to get her hair done for the trial. When I hear people conplaining about white criminals being given special treatment I wonder if they're aware of Vanessa's trip to a hairdresser while waiting to be tried for the car jacking and murder of two people. It sounds like privilege to me. My rant is over. I just wanted to add my thoughts on that evil woman because she doesn't get enough of the hatred that she deserves, as a femLe who could have stopped all of this before it got to this point. I couldn't be Channon's mother. If I were, I'd be patiently awaiting Vanessa's next parole request date and I would go in and tell the judge I was okay with her being freed. I cannot say what I'd do next. I doubt YT would allow it. But let's just say that being locked in prison for the rest of my life would not be any type of deterrent. I would have spent the last decade and a half laying in bed at night formulating the most sick type of scenarios in my head for Vanessa and her mother. If you take my child from me, I don't think I'd be worried about what happens going forward. When Vanessa is set free I wouldn't be shocked if she disappeared. She must know that there are a lot of people on the outside who won't be happy to see her out in public. She should change her name and move to the North Pole for her own safety.
Thanku so very much for your detailed info, it just adds one more horrific detail to an unfathomabley horrific case. Those poor victims, I can't get them out of my head.
It's very easy for these people to do this and be okay with it when their entire culture centers around the fact that they're perpetual victims of the inherently evil white menace. We aren't seen as people in their eyes, so anything done to us is justified.
Thank you for covering this. This is absolutely disgusting,. Unexeptable and this should receive national news these people knew why they did this and what their motive was
@28_futaba Just picture Channon and Chris being a black couple and the murderers being white. Society would label that a hate crime all day. Same rules should've been applied in this case too but nope.
Good morning Shrouded Hand. I was just settling down to make something to eat and I noticed this early access notification. Wow! I know a true crime story from your channel is going to be on the more gruesome and intense side. Those unfortunate people who went through that horrendous torture and subsequent murder. ☹️
This is one of the worst cases. I'm so sorry for this couple, they look genuinely lovely. It's unspeakable, I hope their family and friends get all the support they need.
Channon was apparently forced to watch Chris be tortured and brutalised as a part of her torment. I've heard of this case before and it always reduces me to tears. I've heard that Vanessa would give water to Channon and Channon would beg for Vanessa to set her free. Channon was probably so relieved to see another woman, someone who might empathise with her and help her, only to have this woman ignore her and let these things happen to her. it's one of the most brutal cases I've ever heard of. the people who did this deserve to rot.
This is absolutely one of the Most Sickening and Depraved cases of Torture and Murder i have Ever heard. Their are a couple things in particular that got under my skin aside of the actual crime its self.. And that is how could a woman stand by and watch this being done to another woman.. Secondly watching the faces of Channons mother and father sitting there with the blank look on their faces. Of complete emptiness and total despair of 2 souls that can Never be repaired.. I feel for the families of Channon and Chris my Wholehearted Condolences Go Out to them..
These thugs should all be on death row. The female too, she didn't help the victim escape, she is culpable for death row too. It's disgusting these thugs tortured that poor girl and killed her in such a heartless and brutal way. Keep up the good work on your videos.
You're just out on a date one night, and this could happen in the snap of a finger. I was carjacked a few years back, and this actually made me thankful for how light I got off. Never let them take you to another location.
That would only be lowering ourselves to their standards. That’s something a third world country would do Not to mention the death penalty has never deterred anyone from committing crime. Because they always think they’re going to get away with it and many criminals don’t think rational.
this wasn't about car jacking/robbery. if it was, those monsters would have taken the car and any other valuables and left channon and chris standing there. they wanted to torture and kill these two innocent people plain and simple. their punishments will never be enough for what they did to chris and channon, what they left their families with. i can't begin to imagine the sheer horror of hearing what your child's last hours were like before they died and channon's death was slow, painful, unbelievable💔 i read the wiki page about these crimes and what the autopsies revealed. totally stomach turning🤬💔😢😢
I have a instinctive feeling that the two victims bore the appearance of a stereotypical clean cut pair, physically and mentally. They were the concept of something they wanted to destroy.
There are few things I can think that I would enjoy more than torturing these 5 pieces of sh*t to death. I can’t call them people and I can’t call them animals, as that would be an insult to all animals. I happen to have been watching a lot of videos lately about Komodo Dragons before seeing this story and I can’t help but think about the way they enjoy literally eating their prey alive while it screams, and fights in vain to try and get away from the steel trap like jaws and razor sharp teeth. I cannot picture a more glorious or fitting end then to sit down with a flat of beer and a couple packs of cigarettes, hanging each one of these living pieces of sh*t from their wrists with their feet barely touching the ground and allowing two hungry Komodo Dragons to go to work on them. Slowly tearing away the raw dripping flesh from their leg bones, while looking hungrily up into their prey’s eyes and greedily gulping it down before taking their next bite. Slowly lowering them down to continue giving the dragons easy access to their meal. The pure entertainment and amusement that I would derive from their howls and groans of torment and agony is difficult to imagine, let alone describe. Along with the looks on the faces of their 4 remaining friends. Sitting nearby, tied to chairs, impatiently awaiting their turns and not missing a single moment of what their short, agonizing future holds in store for them. RIP Channon and Christopher ☠️🐊☠️🙏🍻

This is the case that still haunts me to this day even after I heard about it some 12 years ago. I can’t fathom the torture these 2 went through, especially Channon. We hear the words “bleach poured down her throat” but just let that really sink in. The burning, the pain. I can’t. The fact that all 5 perpetrators are still breathing and the word “parole” is even mentioned in any of their sentences is a testament as to just how broken the judicial system is. It’s an INJUSTICE SYSTEM. All 5 of the perpetrators should’ve been executed a long time ago. I never thought I’d hear a case that would be just as bad as this one until I heard of the torture, rape & murder of Junko Furata in Japan which this poor soul had to endure for over 40 days and I believe all of her perpetrators are now free.
I’ve seen hundreds of true crime videos, and this is one of the few cases that made me absolutely sick, this is beyond brutal. What the hell is wrong with these “people”
I've heard about this before too. These people were tortured and murdered because of the color of their skin. The media did their absolute best to hide this on the back page of every paper. Some people are more equal than others it would seem.
@@everest3619 ...can't tell if you're being sarcastic implying you don't consider this racially motivated, or indicating you know it was & that the media is running interference.
Who says it was a hate crime? I love SH content but this video in particular shows no background of the killer's life whatsoever. The reason this case its not shown in media is because it might instigating racist retaliaton against black communities just because the killers happen to be black and the couple was white
"They were high on PCP, which might explain, though not excuse, their actions." The amount of respect I have for you using that tiny detail cannot be explained in words.
@@TheMouseRanReverse they were looking for a “rich white bitch” as they called her bc his white gf broke up with him. So while they gang raped her and poured bleach on her and stuffed her in a trash bag, I’m sure it was “just” PCP. Yeah. Okay. And made her watch as they tortured her boyfriend and lit him on fire. Totally nothing more than PCP.
Imagine if the races were reversed, it would be considered a hate crime and the country would burn, there was some media coverage of this case but not nearly enough. This poor couple, my they rest in peace and those animals rot in prison before they burn in hell.
Imagine if the races were reversed is literally the freezing of someone who is already racist. The truth is there have been instances of this were the races were reversed and they were not considered hate crimes unfortunately and sometimes even the perpetrators got away with it. The truth is similar to disease monsters exist in every type of human community imaginable and thinking that you're somehow different from that is one of the worst things you could do in society.
@@jordanwhite352 Literally 90% of interracial violent crime involving Blacks and Whites, is Black on White according to FBI statistics.

Your entire racial narrative is a lie, Whites are the victims, not Blacks.
Oh god, I heard about this awhile ago and it has given me nightmares ever since. How can humans be that heartless, cruel and have NO remorse…it truly boggles my mind, I can’t wrap my head around it…. I can’t even begin to comprehend how much they suffered … May they both go gently into the night …. RIP. Be at peace. 🐥🇨🇦🐥hugs everyone

@@kieferrea4819 Because we have our reasonable right to be suspicious when this isn't an isolated incident. This is far from the only case of this nature
I love how they avoided the fact that this was also a hate crime. It's really disgusting that black on white hate isn't a big deal to anyone, it's almost acceptable because society is too scared, even in a blatant example like this, to call out a horrific hate crime. Another bad one is Cannon Hinnant: he was a 5 year old white boy that was straight up executed by his adult black neighbor. He walked up to Cannon, who was playing with his sisters in his front yard, put a gun to his head and pulled the trigger only because he wanted to kill a white kid. 100% racial, 100% a hate crime and it didn't even make the f*cking news. That's how disgusting society has become. They'll virtue signal all day and night with how evil white folks are but completely ignore black on white hatred. Even Jussie Smollett's pure hate crime was played down. This piece of sh*t was perfectly willing to let 2 random white guys get arrested and sent to prison all so he could get a little more publicity. Faking a hate crime is a hate crime in itself because he's targeting a specific race yet NO ONE called it what it was: a hate crime. Americans are f*cking pathetic. They're so concerned with being politically correct, with being the wonderful virtue signalers they strive to be by not offending pure evil like these horrible people that kidnapped, raped and murdered a man and woman that they can't bring themselves to call a completely blatant hate crime what it is. All because it was black on white. Pathetic.
This type of crap happens too often in my country. I've heard and read so many news about specifically white farmers going through torture. Unfortunately looked up some of things and can I say that after years, the broomstick still lingers. Or what they would do to any children as well! None of if gets reported. Many times it gets revealed that cops were involved. Every time it happens, it gets labelled "A robery gone wrong"....when nothing ended up being stolen
The fact they were high, but also knew to “get rid of dna” shows these monsters knew fully that they were doing something evil
They obviously knew nothing about that part - as DNA was found on her body. While bleach can destroy DNA, they would probably never be able to get it all. Plus they didn't think to remove finger prints from the car?
You have a good point!
Lmarcus Davidson. State the animal's name as much as possible.
High or not, you know when your doing an evil thing, even if you are “not in the right state of mind”, you put yourself there willingly when you took the drugs. Drugs have nothing to do with what these monsters did.
I'm wondering if they were targeted, just for being white? Nobody seems to ask this at all!
If you’re ever attacked… NEVER and I mean never let them take you to a second location.
Once you’re moved to another location not only are your odds of being found alive almost gone but you’re last moments on this earth going to be almost worse than death.
Fight with everything you have like your life depends on it because it does.
Better to be shot in public than tortured to death in private.
isn't that easy to say "in hindsight" especially since no one knows how they'll (if they were in the position of the victims) would behave whilst in paralyzing fear
@@ellena.8369Fight or flight.
I have two teenage daughters, one a freshman and one a senior, as heartbreaking as it's been, I've had to have these conversations with them. Not because I want to scare them, but because they MUST be prepared and understand what has to be done. I've told both my daughters that if ever you are approached leaving work, a mall, store, etc.... by some one with a gun, knife, or weapon demanding you "get in their vehicle", you have to fight, scream, and take that bullet or get stabbed, but you DO NOT EVER follow their instructions and get in the vehicle. You will not be found alive. You will be raped, tortured, and most likely killed. You stand a better chance of survival taking that bullet right there in the parking lot where hopefully, a passerby sees or hears what's going on. It breaks my heart, but we have this conversation at least every other month.
I didn't say i disagreed with the concept hell i watch and follow lazy masquerade (sp?) who did a whole video on this. i'm just saying it's important to be aware of our words and understand that most things even in life are death are easier said then done if we haven't ourselves experienced them
This is horrific, wouldn't think twice if all five people were given the death penalty.

@@jackmeyers7805 far too easy
Cobbin’s testimony which he exchanged for a reduced sentence is *beyond horrifying.* Some of the most disturbing words I’ve ever heard come out of a human mouth.
He goes into great detail about how he was told to guard Channon after she’d been gangrxped by all of the men there, tied up, and thrown into a spare bedroom for several hours. During that time, Cobbins freely admits to repeatedly rxping Channon orally, but unbelievably has the nerve to claim it was “consensual sex”, despite him also describing Channon as tied up, sobbing and crying, bleeding, and terrified. He even describes how she begged him to please help her, untie her, anything, and he’d shrugged and told her he couldn’t because the others might beat him up if he did. And then he casually rxped her.
And as disturbing as those details are, the part that really chills my blood is that he testifies about all of this with this fake sadness, as if he were describing how he cheated on his homework. He didn’t even think he’d done anything wrong. Like shit happens, your honor.
Every person in that house was a monster in human form. Every single one.
Exactly. Anyone who follows this knows. Thank you for summarizing . The truth is difficult to deal with but truth must be acknowledged for ultimate justice to be served. All of those monsters should be permanently sequestered. Too bad not put to death. They are a blight on society; waste of air and space.
god i looked only a little into this case because i wanted to know more details, thankfully at the time i didn’t stumble upon what you’re talking about. thank you for sharing it. just makes me feel better about being so horrified of this case. the evil that was committed by those monsters… breaks my heart to know what Channon and Chris went through.
You are SOOOO RIGHT
He Was Sentenced To Life Without Parole In Prison. Then When He Was On The Stand. Nothing But Crocodile Tears. He Also Took Part In Raping Channon. All Of Their Evil Asses Should've, Been Sentenced To Death.
@@donnacrenshaw3105 All of them. They acted like subhuman predators and should have been executed for such evil heinous crimes.
They not only raped both of them, but castrated Christopher Newson and performed a crude mastectomy on Channon. They also blinded Christopher and forced him to drink gasoline before setting him on fire forcing her to watch the whole ordeal before killing him right in front of her, which you rarely hear about. They then routinely raped Channon for the next 3 days before killing her as well by tying her up in a garbage bag suffocating her and stuffing her into a garbage can. Christopher body was dismembered and also stuffed into garbage bags and deposited in a dumpster.
This was a DISGUSTING horrific race crime and they even ADMITTED it to the Jury as one of their main motives but were ultimately not charged with it. Cobbins spilled the beans because he thought he was going to get the death penalty and ultimately him telling got him out of it. Coleman also spilled the beans because she thought her attorney could weasel her sentence down to less than 20 years and she claimed to have no involvement in the actual killings or rapes, but as it turns out forensic evidence also showed she raped Christopher AND Channon. She was also the primary verbal tormenter of Channon while the other 4 committed the actual physical acts for the most part according to Cobbins. Cobbins was really the key to this whole case being blown wide open and to a lesser extent Coleman.
The news media outlets barely mentioned this incident because the perpetrators were black and the victims white. Probably THE worst race crime since the 1960's. By the way Coleman might get out of prison on parole in 2030 which would be horrific.
All five of them should have been executed at the discretion of the victim's families. Judge Baumgartner said the crime was "one of the most incredibly outrageous, cruel and inhumane cases this court has ever seen." He also said, "how people can engage in this type of conduct is just unexplainable" and "there really is no sentence great enough to punish you for the conduct you have been convicted of." I 100% agree with this statement.
I'm from Knoxville and this is one of the worst crimes in recent memory. It didn't get much press outside of Tennessee, I'm glad to see someone covering it.
I hate to say this, but if the races were reversed the nation would STILL be on fire.

Reverse races and it would have been all over the place.
@@marcoestiercol6112 Yep. Look at their lives mattering. (spits). No CNN all over THIS one.
@@marcoestiercol6112 Crazy how it works…
What strikes me the most is the raw violence of the abuse that Channon and Chris both suffered. I can only recall a rare few cases with this level of extreme, physical trauma. This wasn't just a carjacking that turned into a sexual kidnapping. It was a deliberate act of sadistic brutality. They put effort into hurting those two people. The perpetrators should be scrubbed from the face of the earth.
Skinned and thrown into a lemon bath
Instead they got over a decade of trials and appeals.
Not to be a dick, but there's thousands upon thousands of cases like this (not in the US) but from my studies of systemic euthanasia and torture methods through history, this unfortunately does not stand out. Sickening world.
It was a racially motivated hate crime.
@@Yungbeck it does stand out. I’ve studied countless cases as well for decades, from all over the world- and this one ranks *well above* the norm in the fact that it’s not just how brazen of an attack, but how savagely brutal and sadistic it was. Most murderers kill people within a few minutes, maybe an hour or so, tops. This was a large group- 5 people that brutally tortured 2 random people, Chris for 4+ hours, and Shannon for well over a day, and then *buried her alive* This is not a “normal” murder by any means whatsoever. Statistically speaking, it’s far beyond the scope of what typically happens to murder victims- thank god.
I can't even begin to imagine the sadness and anger their parents are feeling.
Never mind that. Black lives matter.

My brother was in the courtroom:
My brother was dating Channon Newsom’s best friend when this happened. To get through the horror of the case, she asked my brother to go to the trail with her. And my brother did go to the trial, every single day.
From my brother I heard every detail of this case. A lot of the worse parts of the trail still aren’t public ally available.
Ultimately, Channon and Christian were kidnapped, tortured, raped, and killed for fun and racial hatred. True remorseless killers.
I can totally see how the racial aspect fits into this. You have to REALLY hate someone to be so inhumane and conniving, and considering the perpetrators didn't previously know the victims, the hatred is apparent if not blatantly obvious. It shocks me that there are even _worse_ parts we still don't know about, too.
@DBG the definitely hated white people, but the real motive behind Channon and Chris’ death was boredom and fun.
Truly, one of the killers said “their was nothing on tv, so we went out driving. One of them saw Channon, he wanted to rape her, so they went and got her.”
There was no planning, no overwhelming drive to kill, this was just their version of having fun.
Each of them hates white people, they were asked “were you specifically looking to hurt a white person?” and each one answered “yes”.
There’s a lot more details to this case, but ultimately these killers kidnapped, tortured, and killed Channon and Chris because they were bored and they wanted to have some fun hurting some white people.
They need to rot in hell but until I see proof that race had anything to do with it, I'm not subscribing to that camp.

@Downtown Duece my brother suffered through the trial to be there as a comfort to his girlfriend. The one’s who where beyond strong where the families of Channon and Chris.

That’s one thing from watching video that is nice, because you get the majority of the facts all at once. But the actual trials took months. It was a slow painful agony of new evidence that came out, and everyday was some new horrible detail about what happened to Channon and Chris.

I can’t call them people and I can’t call them animals, as that would be an insult to all animals. I happen to have been watching a lot of videos lately about Komodo Dragons before seeing this story and I can’t help but think about the way they enjoy literally eating their prey alive while it screams, and fights in vain to try and get away from the steel trap like jaws and razor sharp teeth. I cannot picture a more glorious or fitting end then to sit down with a flat of beer and a couple packs of cigarettes, hanging each one of these living pieces of sh*t from their wrists with their feet barely touching the ground and allowing two hungry Komodo Dragons to go to work on them. Slowly tearing away the raw dripping flesh from their leg bones, while looking hungrily up into their prey’s eyes and greedily gulping it down before taking their next bite. Slowly lowering them down to continue giving the dragons easy access to their meal. The pure entertainment and amusement that I would derive from their howls and groans of torment and agony is difficult to imagine, let alone describe. Along with the looks on the faces of their 4 remaining friends. Sitting nearby, tied to chairs, impatiently awaiting their turns and not missing a single moment of what their short, agonizing future holds in store for them.
RIP Channon and Christopher

Hello Mr. Hand. There is no question that this is the most outrageous, vile, and lip curling crime that I have been made aware of, and I have previously watched two other videos that have covered this same incident.
However, what is important here, is that your delivery in this video rises above, and might be more correctly referred to as a performance. I can hear in your voice, the disgust toward the perpetrators, and the extent of human anguish that was endured by the victims.

It's probably cause it never got far enough down the woman's throat to do any damage. Vary heart breaking to have to think ab those middle details though.
@@bowmanyoung300 i assumed "poured it down her throat" meant they made her swallow it, but now that i think about it, they could have just poured it in her mouth and she managed to spit most of it back out.
Anyway, drinking bleach can be a surprisingly slow and agonizing death, especially if you don't drink a lot of it. so it might not have been listed as a cause of death because it didn't have enough time to kill her before the asphyxiation did.
im pretty sure it takes less time to suffocate than it does to die from bleach poisoning. so it makes sense that's not listed in her cause of death.

I suppose it's a similar nonsense logic like the fact a black person can't be a racist for some reason.Both ideas are some of the most nonsensical I've ever heard leave any persons mouth! And I've heard both statements many times. Absolutely outrageous.
Not allowed to tell the truth these days.
Disturbian has an amazing video on this case. That was the first time I heard about it. I'm so glad shrouded hand did one too.
I have followed this crime since it happened. I haven't watched the video yet but there are a few things I want to mention. The first is, people don't realize just how depraved this crime really was.
Channon was sexually assaulted by 3 of the men. The one female in the group was the girlfriend of one of the men and she was "jealous" that her boyfriend was having sexual contact with Channon. JEALOUS! When Channon's photos of her damaged body were shown at the trial, one of the first was a close up of her perineum. The area between her vagina and her anus. The area was not recognizable. It was described by the doctor who performed the autopsy as being one giant hematoma, resembling bloody hamburger meat.
Though it was never proven, the theory of how her body received such damage was that Vanessa (the girlfriend of Letalvis Cobbins) was so infuriated at Channon that she kicked Channon over and over between the legs wearing, possibly, a boot.
The photograph was so horrific that a young woman working with the DA's team glanced up at the photo and she immediately fainted at the sight. The hearing was halted and the defense tried to get the judge to throw out the case based on the bias that they said the jury would have been exposed to by seeing her pass out! Luckily, even though the judge was hopped up on opiates that he was addicted to during the trial, he had the good sense to decline the request.
I watched the trial and Channon and Chris's families were treated TERRIBLY by the judge. He refused to allow them to wear any clothing or pins that had pictures or encouraging words for their loved ones in the courtroom like we see most families do. The defense were allowed to call into question Channon and Chris's past drug use, which turned out to be a dirty accusation. Channon's parents were able to provide a recent drug test as Channon, who was a college senior, also held 3 part time jobs and one was T a hospitL that she's just had to take a routine drug test.
Because Chris had casually taken a friend's ADD medication that bight he had it in his blood and the defense tried to say that Channon and Chris were drug abusers who were known to drive to neighborhoods known to he drug markets. They tried to say Channon was sleeping with one of the killers consensually but the DA proved it was just the defense trying to smear Channon and Chris's reputations.
As a result there was a law passed in Channon's name prohibiting defense attorneys from trying to criminalize victims.
I am a woman and I do not know what kind of woman could sit back and watch as 4 men brutalized these people. They were all monsters, but Vanessa the girlfriend was a special kind of sick in the head. For a dY and a half she had many opportunities to free Channon or to call for help for her. She knew what was happening and instead she sat and watched and listened to Channon's life being slowly snuffed and instead of helping the woman, she spent time writing in a diary about what a "fun and exciting time" she was having in Tennessee! How revolting and sick.
While awaiting trial Vanessa was allowed to get her hair done for the trial. When I hear people conplaining about white criminals being given special treatment I wonder if they're aware of Vanessa's trip to a hairdresser while waiting to be tried for the car jacking and murder of two people. It sounds like privilege to me.
My rant is over. I just wanted to add my thoughts on that evil woman because she doesn't get enough of the hatred that she deserves, as a femLe who could have stopped all of this before it got to this point. I couldn't be Channon's mother. If I were, I'd be patiently awaiting Vanessa's next parole request date and I would go in and tell the judge I was okay with her being freed. I cannot say what I'd do next. I doubt YT would allow it. But let's just say that being locked in prison for the rest of my life would not be any type of deterrent. I would have spent the last decade and a half laying in bed at night formulating the most sick type of scenarios in my head for Vanessa and her mother. If you take my child from me, I don't think I'd be worried about what happens going forward.
When Vanessa is set free I wouldn't be shocked if she disappeared. She must know that there are a lot of people on the outside who won't be happy to see her out in public. She should change her name and move to the North Pole for her own safety.
Thanku so very much for your detailed info, it just adds one more horrific detail to an unfathomabley horrific case. Those poor victims, I can't get them out of my head.
She was probably being raped and abused too. Why are you acting like she’s the worst one here??
It's very easy for these people to do this and be okay with it when their entire culture centers around the fact that they're perpetual victims of the inherently evil white menace. We aren't seen as people in their eyes, so anything done to us is justified.
If you need some other monsters to hate, I recommend Arthur Labinjo-Hughes father and step mother.

This is one of the worst cases. I'm so sorry for this couple, they look genuinely lovely. It's unspeakable, I hope their family and friends get all the support they need.
The usual suspects. Fundamental nature doesn't change.
Channon was apparently forced to watch Chris be tortured and brutalised as a part of her torment. I've heard of this case before and it always reduces me to tears. I've heard that Vanessa would give water to Channon and Channon would beg for Vanessa to set her free. Channon was probably so relieved to see another woman, someone who might empathise with her and help her, only to have this woman ignore her and let these things happen to her. it's one of the most brutal cases I've ever heard of. the people who did this deserve to rot.
Vanessa was upset her boyfriend was raping Channon so she tortured her too. Blaming her. They only gave her 35 years. Pussy bitch.
They all deserve to stay alive while their body is rotting covered with maggots and they beg for death unable to eat drink and piss
I also read that Vanessa repeatedly kicked Channon in the groin, so she was very much an active participant in her torture.
This is absolutely one of the Most Sickening and Depraved cases of Torture and Murder i have Ever heard. Their are a couple things in particular that got under my skin aside of the actual crime its self.. And that is how could a woman stand by and watch this being done to another woman.. Secondly watching the faces of Channons mother and father sitting there with the blank look on their faces. Of complete emptiness and total despair of 2 souls that can Never be repaired..

this wasn't about car jacking/robbery. if it was, those monsters would have taken the car and any other valuables and left channon and chris standing there. they wanted to torture and kill these two innocent people plain and simple. their punishments will never be enough for what they did to chris and channon, what they left their families with. i can't begin to imagine the sheer horror of hearing what your child's last hours were like before they died and channon's death was slow, painful, unbelievable💔 i read the wiki page about these crimes and what the autopsies revealed. totally stomach turning🤬💔😢😢
Despite confessions that indicated it was racially motivated, neither prosecutors nor the media would categorize it as a hate crime
I have a instinctive feeling that the two victims bore the appearance of a stereotypical clean cut pair, physically and mentally. They were the concept of something they wanted to destroy.
There are few things I can think that I would enjoy more than torturing these 5 pieces of sh*t to death. I can’t call them people and I can’t call them animals, as that would be an insult to all animals. I happen to have been watching a lot of videos lately about Komodo Dragons before seeing this story and I can’t help but think about the way they enjoy literally eating their prey alive while it screams, and fights in vain to try and get away from the steel trap like jaws and razor sharp teeth. I cannot picture a more glorious or fitting end then to sit down with a flat of beer and a couple packs of cigarettes, hanging each one of these living pieces of sh*t from their wrists with their feet barely touching the ground and allowing two hungry Komodo Dragons to go to work on them. Slowly tearing away the raw dripping flesh from their leg bones, while looking hungrily up into their prey’s eyes and greedily gulping it down before taking their next bite. Slowly lowering them down to continue giving the dragons easy access to their meal. The pure entertainment and amusement that I would derive from their howls and groans of torment and agony is difficult to imagine, let alone describe. Along with the looks on the faces of their 4 remaining friends. Sitting nearby, tied to chairs, impatiently awaiting their turns and not missing a single moment of what their short, agonizing future holds in store for them.
RIP Channon and Christopher

@@DowntownDeuce2 "Hate" crimes merely allow for extra punishment to be applied. You can't really get much worse than the death penalty.
And yet people still yell out George Floyd

I can’t imagine what Channon and Chris’s family felt while hearing how their kids got killed! I couldn’t stop crying after this video.
This is the case that still haunts me to this day even after I heard about it some 12 years ago. I can’t fathom the torture these 2 went through, especially Channon. We hear the words “bleach poured down her throat” but just let that really sink in. The burning, the pain. I can’t. The fact that all 5 perpetrators are still breathing and the word “parole” is even mentioned in any of their sentences is a testament as to just how broken the judicial system is. It’s an INJUSTICE SYSTEM. All 5 of the perpetrators should’ve been executed a long time ago. I never thought I’d hear a case that would be just as bad as this one until I heard of the torture, rape & murder of Junko Furata in Japan which this poor soul had to endure for over 40 days and I believe all of her perpetrators are now free.
I’ve seen hundreds of true crime videos, and this is one of the few cases that made me absolutely sick, this is beyond brutal. What the hell is wrong with these “people”
I've heard about this before too.
These people were tortured and murdered because of the color of their skin.
The media did their absolute best to hide this on the back page of every paper.
Some people are more equal than others it would seem.
I had absolutely no idea this was actually a hate crime. I wonder why that aspect wasn’t as talked about. Hmmmm.
@@everest3619 ...can't tell if you're being sarcastic implying you don't consider this racially motivated, or indicating you know it was & that the media is running interference.
Who says it was a hate crime? I love SH content but this video in particular shows no background of the killer's life whatsoever. The reason this case its not shown in media is because it might instigating racist retaliaton against black communities just because the killers happen to be black and the couple was white
If the roles were reversed there would have been national outrage, with this the media actively ignored it
@@everest3619 I haven’t seen any evidence saying this was a hate crime
"They were high on PCP, which might explain, though not excuse, their actions."
The amount of respect I have for you using that tiny detail cannot be explained in words.
???
Their actions are explained by the melanin and grease levels
@@applessuace "though not excuse"
@@TheMouseRanReverse they were looking for a “rich white bitch” as they called her bc his white gf broke up with him. So while they gang raped her and poured bleach on her and stuffed her in a trash bag, I’m sure it was “just” PCP. Yeah. Okay. And made her watch as they tortured her boyfriend and lit him on fire. Totally nothing more than PCP.
Even just obtaining and using this drug is bad and does not excuse them from committing such heinous acts.
Cases like this really does prove that demons walk among us in human form, it makes my heart weep. May channon and chris rest in peace
Imagine if the races were reversed, it would be considered a hate crime and the country would burn, there was some media coverage of this case but not nearly enough. This poor couple, my they rest in peace and those animals rot in prison before they burn in hell.
because racism is based on historical privledge
@@recutiehoney
Idiot
Imagine if the races were reversed is literally the freezing of someone who is already racist. The truth is there have been instances of this were the races were reversed and they were not considered hate crimes unfortunately and sometimes even the perpetrators got away with it. The truth is similar to disease monsters exist in every type of human community imaginable and thinking that you're somehow different from that is one of the worst things you could do in society.
@@jordanwhite352 Literally 90% of interracial violent crime involving Blacks and Whites, is Black on White according to FBI statistics. Hundreds more Whites are killed by Blacks each year in America than Blacks killed by Whites. Significantly more unarmed Whites are killed by the police each year than unarmed Blacks. Your entire racial narrative is a lie, Whites are the victims, not Blacks.
@@jordanwhite352 Sources?
It baffles me that some humans can be so evil.... Rest in peace and fly high Channon and Chris, you didn't deserve this fate 😔
@@kentjensen4504 They are humans LOL just because your fragile mind wants to imagine them as some video game monsters doesnt mean they are.
@@amp4105 No, they are much worse.
they are not human, they are africans
Oh god, I heard about this awhile ago and it has given me nightmares ever since. How can humans be that heartless, cruel and have NO remorse…it truly boggles my mind, I can’t wrap my head around it….
I can’t even begin to comprehend how much they suffered …
May they both go gently into the night …. RIP. Be at peace.
🐥🇨🇦🐥hugs everyone
I refuse to believe this wasn’t also a hate crime
Would've given those five animals the chair or at the very least make them experience the pain they dished out before death
So tired of people referring to evil scum like this as “animals”. Stop. Insulting. Them.
@THE GREAT CORNHOLIO look, his hands!! He has the stigmata!!
Ffs stop calling them animals. Animals don’t behave like this!!
@@jo979 Lol we are animals though, I understand you, but I just had to say that.
@@jo979 just be glad I only called them that and not something els
The daughter of a police dept employee that was involved should have been punished, too, but she got off with just her testimony. The Knoxville News Sentinel made certain to inform the public that her lack of charges had nothing to do with her parent's employment.
Women often get lighter sentencing than men.
if you are talking about the girlfriend she wasnt even there when all this happened

@@commissaryarrick9670 Actually, she went to pick up some things Lemaricus promised her and Channon was held captive in the bathroom by Coleman (she didn't know it, nor that those clothes and the ring belonged to Channon.) HOWEVER, she DID lie to the police about Lemaricus whereabouts so she is tr@sh just like him.
@@commissaryarrick9670 shrouded hand didn't talk about the letter she written about her " crazy night " ... she was there
This was racially motivated . They hate happy people who are in their eyes the reason to there poverty and self ignorance . Truly sad .
How in God's name are you gonna bring race into this
Switch the races and you would be singing a much different tune. Use your head and actually be fair.
@@kieferrea4819 no one asks this when the races are switched lol 🤡🤡🤡
@@jackrodriguez3404 I'll still ask it. Not saying it's impossible for race to be involved but why is that the first thing that goes to your head instead of these people are just evil
@@kieferrea4819 Because we have our reasonable right to be suspicious when this isn't an isolated incident. This is far from the only case of this nature
And people think the devil doesn’t live among us haw sick and sad 😢
I love how they avoided the fact that this was also a hate crime. It's really disgusting that black on white hate isn't a big deal to anyone, it's almost acceptable because society is too scared, even in a blatant example like this, to call out a horrific hate crime.
Another bad one is Cannon Hinnant: he was a 5 year old white boy that was straight up executed by his adult black neighbor. He walked up to Cannon, who was playing with his sisters in his front yard, put a gun to his head and pulled the trigger only because he wanted to kill a white kid. 100% racial, 100% a hate crime and it didn't even make the f*cking news. That's how disgusting society has become. They'll virtue signal all day and night with how evil white folks are but completely ignore black on white hatred.
Even Jussie Smollett's pure hate crime was played down. This piece of sh*t was perfectly willing to let 2 random white guys get arrested and sent to prison all so he could get a little more publicity. Faking a hate crime is a hate crime in itself because he's targeting a specific race yet NO ONE called it what it was: a hate crime.
Americans are f*cking pathetic. They're so concerned with being politically correct, with being the wonderful virtue signalers they strive to be by not offending pure evil like these horrible people that kidnapped, raped and murdered a man and woman that they can't bring themselves to call a completely blatant hate crime what it is. All because it was black on white.
Pathetic.
Preach
Perfectly said, my friend. It’s fking pathetic.
This type of crap happens too often in my country. I've heard and read so many news about specifically white farmers going through torture. Unfortunately looked up some of things and can I say that after years, the broomstick still lingers. Or what they would do to any children as well!
None of if gets reported. Many times it gets revealed that cops were involved. Every time it happens, it gets labelled "A robery gone wrong"....when nothing ended up being stolen
Where's the evidence they done it because they were white ?
Sounds like you're projecting tbh
Makes you wonder who runs the media.
