Missing Student Case Overlooked?

JACKSON , Miss. (Nov. 21)—The police chief in Jackson, Miss., wonders why the case of a missing woman in his city isn’t getting national attention. But he suspects race is a factor.

Latasha Norman, who is black, vanished last week after attending a class at Jackson State University. She never returned to her dorm room. Her car was found on campus. Police have charged Norman’s boyfriend with hitting her last month but insist they have no suspects in the disappearance.

Jackson Police Chief Malcolm McMillin, who is white, says the case should get “the same kind of concern” as that of Stacy Peterson, the suburban Chicago woman who’s been missing for three weeks.

McMillin says he thinks the national media may be more interested in the Peterson story because she’s white. [The Associated Press]


Seriously, There are hundreds of missing girls cases everyday ... Stacy Peterson didn’t get attention because she was white, it was because her husband is a murdering COP!!! Lacey Peterson became media attention because she was PREGNANT. Crystal Gail Mangum received attention because it was DUKE UNIVERSITY. Come on people ... it’s not the victims receiving attention that makes the national news, it’s whether the media thinks it’s going to work to their advantage and make a financially worthy news story.
IN ADDITION
Obviously, I can now add this story to the national news worthy list because it's no longer about a missing girl it is about RACISM!

We get this crap around here between two missing persons cases.  One was a female UND student who was abducted in the mall parking lot.

The other was a transient male of Native American descent.  He was last seen in GF.

The idiot family of the NA claims that GF is racist because the first case got far far more attention.  (Basically the school shut down to look for her.)

Never mind the fact that she was abducted and had many friends in the Greek system that put together the search.  The fact that she was abducted in a public place also led to a lot of fear and publicity.

The other guy was passing through town with no connections and no reason to believe he hadn’t just moved on to the last place.  No foul play was involved in his death.

Two utterly different circumstances but the idiots have to play the race card and the local paper is stupid enough to give it ink.

What’s going to happen to US industry when the global warming extremists like John McCain double the price of electricity?  I would think all these factories will close and set up in countries where they aren’t scared of technology.
