In the article, Chris Newsom is referred to as "the corpse" Channon Christian, "the female." Dehumanizing, describing them like they were animals.
Also:
"In some respects, every city has its Chipman Street--the crime that's so brutal...... In Knoxville, murders of an especially brutal nature tend to surface every few years like clockwork,....and to a greater or lesser extent that's the pattern you'd see in any city, anywhere in the United States......Knox County's murder rate is about on par with what is to expected of a municipality its size."
So, the article is saying that weshould expect these kinds of atrocities! No need to get worked up, this is typical for America today.
