   The Death of Jesse Dirkhising - Raped and Murdered by two   
   homosexuals   
   Ignored by the Media

   His parents thought he was working as a hair stylist on   
   weekends. But when Prairie Grove, Ark., police responded to a   
   911 emergency call at 5 a.m. Sept. 26, they found 13-year-old   
   Jesse Dirkhising on the floor, unconscious, near death, one of   
   his wrists bound with duct tape. A half-hour later, he was   
   pronounced dead at St. Mary's Hospital in Roger.   
      
   A police investigation determined young Jesse was repeatedly   
   raped over a period of hours, including with foreign objects.   
   While enduring this ordeal, his ankles, knees and wrists were   
   bound in duct tape and he was gagged and blindfolded. He was   
   tied to a mattress. He may have been drugged, police say. A   
   sedative called amitryptiline was found in the home of two men --   
    Joshua Brown, 22, and David Don Carpenter, 38 -- along with   
   Jesse's body.   
      
   Just another brutal local crime, you say? Why is Farah   
   recounting a police blotter story from Arkansas? I don't know.   
   Something bothers me about this story. It ought to bother us. It   
   was big news in Northwest Arkansas, but the story of Jesse   
   Dirkhising hasn't made a ripple in the national news. I wonder   
   why? I wonder if it's because the victim is not a part of some   
   politically protected sub-group, a special class deserving of   
   extra government privileges? I wonder if it is because the   
   suspects are, indeed, members of such a group. Remember how the   
   nation stood riveted to the details of a hideous murder that   
   took place in Wyoming when a homosexual was tortured to death?   
   Never mind that the crime had little or nothing to do with the   
   victim's sexual proclivities. Uh-uh. That didn't matter.

   Media Tune Out Torture Death of Arkansas Boy

   Most of the nation has not heard about two homosexual men who   
   face the death penalty in Arkansas, charged with raping and   
   torturing a 13-year-old boy to death last month. The brutal   
   crime against Prairie Grove, Ark., seventh-grader Jesse   
   Dirkhising -- who was raped repeatedly and suffocated with his   
   own underwear in the pre-dawn hours of Sept. 26 -- was reported   
   by news organizations in Arkansas and also covered by newspapers   
   in Oklahoma and Tennessee. But the boy's death did not receive   
   national media attention. Tim Graham, director of media analysis   
   for the Media Research Center, said he is not surprised. "Nobody   
   wants to say anything negative about homosexuals. Nobody wants   
   to be seen on the wrong side of that issue," said Mr. Graham,

   Jesse Dirkhising

   When Matthew Shepard died on October 12, 1998 at the age of 21,   
   five days after getting into a pickup truck with two goons who   
   beat him mercilessly, he had already become a huge national news   
   story that continues today. It made the cover of Time magazine   
   with the headline "The War Over Gays," with reporters   
   predictably using the occasion to blame religious conservatives   
   and call for hate-crime laws and other gay-left agenda items.   
   But when Jesse Dirkhising died on September 26 at the age of 13   
   from suffocation after being bound, gagged with underwear in his   
   mouth, blindfolded, taped to the bed, and sodomized by one gay   
   man while another gay man watched, the national media said   
   nothing, even after The Washington Times exposed the untold   
   story. Media Outlets Quash Stories on Dirkhising Death   
      
   By Lawrence Morahan / CNSNews.com   
      
   Stories about the alleged murder of a 13-year-old boy at the   
   hands of a homosexual couple have been quashed by some major   
   media outlets and have caused death threats to be sent to   
   others, a group of reporters and talk show hosts told   
   CNSNews.com. "About 10 percent of my emails are from people who   
   haven't heard of the case and who want material to verify what   
   they heard. People asked me to send them some stuff because   
   people they told about it didn't believe them," said Eric Hogue,   
   a broadcaster with WHK AM and FM radio covering northeastern   
   Ohio and Pennsylvania, in an interview with CNSNews.com.

   Why is the media not covering Jesse Dirkhising murder like that

   By Bill O'Reilly / APB News (link expired)   
      
   NEW YORK -- The question is stark and brutal. If the murder of   
   Matthew Shepard, a gay man, by two drunken thugs in Laramie,   
   Wyo., was a national story and a heinous hate crime, why wasn't   
   the killing of 13-year-old Jesse Dirkhising publicized the same   
   way? Jesse was tortured, sodomized and finally killed by a gay   
   man as another homosexual watched in the small town of Rogers,   
   Ark. Yet the national media ignored the crime, causing outrage   
   among those who see hate crimes as a tool being used to hammer   
   the agendas of special interests. The two men who murdered   
   Shepard have been convicted and, most likely, will spend the   
   rest of their lives in prison. But the two men allegedly   
   involved in the killing of Jesse Dirkhising have yet to be   
   tried, and when they are, you may not even hear about it. The   
   Death of Jesse Dirkhising   
      
   By Michelle Malkin / CapitalismMagazine.com   
      
   "Jesse slowly suffocated and died." A jury heard those chilling   
   words this week in the opening statement of a little-noticed   
   Arkansas trial. A mother heard those heartbreaking words spoken   
   about her 13-year-old son, Jesse Dirkhising, whom prosecutors   
   say died at the hands of two men who raped and murdered the boy   
   during a marathon torture session. The trial raises grave   
   questions about society's increasing tolerance of gay   
   pedophilia. But in New York and Los Angeles, the national press   
   hounds were more interested in covering the trial of rap star   
   Sean "Puffy" Combs than in reporting on the tragic death of   
   Jesse Dirkhising. Jesse Dirkhising's Deliverance   
      
   By Joseph Farah / WorldNetDaily.com   
      
   The case of 13-year-old Jesse Dirkhising continues to haunt me   
   since I first wrote about it weeks ago -- before anyone else in   
   the national press. The details of the crime in Prairie Grove,   
   Ark., Sept. 26, were chilling enough before I read more than I
