Three suspects arrested over rape and murder of pregnant pastor's wife
So when I click on the article I'm expecting too see who they are right? But not one photo of the perps. Why do you suppose that is? Guess we'll just have to guess who Larry Taylor, Jalen Watson and Diano Gordon are. Think I got a pretty good idea.
There are at least a dozen articles regarding this same story today from various news agencies. At the time of this post not one had a picture of the perps.
So why am I bringing this to the forefront? Had the situation been reversed 3 white guys broke into a 28 year old pregnant black woman's home raped her and shot her in the head the MSM would have chased it like a rabid dog foaming at the mouth. Al would have BLM whipped up for another "Black Friday Sale". The end result?
Not one storefront window left in Indianapolis.
Think Barry would file adoption papers if it would have been the other way around?

Three people are being held by police in connection with the brutal murder of the pregnant wife of an Indiana pastor.
Larry Taylor, Jalen Watson and Diano Gordon were arrested over the sexual assault and homicide of Amanda Blackburn, 28.
Taylor had been previously questioned in the case but then released and the three will also be charged in other burglaries including a rape in Indianapolis, FOX 59 reported.
Blackburn was 12 weeks pregnant when she was shot in the head as she tried to defend herself and her one-year-old son Weston when her house entered into on November 10. She died after being rushed to the hospital.

Neighbors of the Blackburns said that they don't live in the 'type of neighborhood' where incidents like home invasions usually occur
Detectives have pieced together an account of the men entering the Blackburn home, which was unlocked, and confronting Blackburn who was awaiting the return of his husband Davey, a pastor, from an early morning workout.
While two of the suspects left with Blackburn's ATM card to retrieve money, a source told Fox 59 News, that Taylor reportedly raped and killed Amanda.
Detectives gathered evidence linking the suspects to the use of Blackburn's credit card and a gun was also recovered, WTTV reported.
Watson and Gordon are in custody on parole violations. Taylor, who was previously taken into custody and released, was re-arrested at a relative's home on a preliminary charge of murder, according to police.
Sources say a fourth individual who was aware of the rapes, robberies, burglaries and murder, but did not participate, was questioned and released, WTTV reported, adding that detectives collected evidence linking the trio to a previous rape and robbery at the Westlake Apartments where the suspects were living until early November.
Reward: Police had offered a $1,000 reward to anyone with information over the brutal killing

Blackburn was the daughter of the lead pastor at First Baptist Church in Elkhart, Indiana. She and her husband moved from South Carolina to Indianapolis in 2012 to establish the independent church, Resonate Church.
Resonate Church posted a statement on Facebook mourning Blackburn's death and hundreds of people on social media sent prayers toward the family, according to KHOU.
Davey Blackburn posted a statement on his church's website where he said: 'It's impossible to communicate all the emotions my heart has been forced to process. My wife was such a beautiful, gracious, loving woman of God.
'I have not only lost my ministry partner and support but also my very best friend. There is no way to prepare yourself for circumstances like these.
