Default Got facts?

Regrettably, Dr. Cass answers his own question:

Quote:
Cass said, "I'll ask this: If two Muslims, or two feminists or two homosexuals were murdered, wouldn't the media be all over it? These were two fine young black Christian men shot by another black man for their Christian faith, yet the media does not seem to care."
As for the examples Dr. Cass gave, four "Middle-Eastern-looking" people were murdered across the country within days of the 9-11 attacks; I think only one of them made the national news. One victim was a Muslim; one was a Sikh, and the other two were Christians (Egyptian Copts). I'm willing to bet Dr. Cass had nothing to say about those killings.

I think the "Christian" part was only incidental. Unfortunately, young black men kill each other in the streets of our nation every day, but unless there's a white victim involved, the media does not seem to care. If the police have established that Woody was the murderer, they have not reported why he killed them. Even I don't think preachers should be shot just for preaching!

A little research has found that Ocean, one of the victims, had had a police record. Woody, the accused killer, had none. Also, the shootings took place after Woody had taken a call on his cell phone. Was it Satan calling, telling him to do it? Not according to this article.
The victims had been accompanied by a third man, who was not shot. What he told the police regarding that phone call adds a new dimension to this story.

It's just possible that this was a killing related to Ocean's past; in fact, I doubt it would have been more than a Page Three story in the national papers if it weren't for the fact that the victims were Christian street preachers.

Christians often seem to forget: Christ may save your soul for eternity, but if you did wrong, you still gotta pay the price here.
