More details on the Ann Pressly murder

In support of Attorney General Holder’s call for white Americans to stop being cowardly and silent on race, let us revisit the murder of Anne Pressly in Little Rock last October. In that case, the depravity of the accused killer, Curtis Lavelle Vance, who raped Ann Pressly in her home, smashing every bone in her face and leaving her in a coma from which she died five days later, was complimented by the behavior of the authorities and the media, who downplayed the savage nature of the assault, covered up the racial aspect of the murder, and did not even tell the public that Pressly had been raped for at least five weeks after the attack. The police, echoed by the media, repeatedly referred to the incident, not as a home invasion in which a black man raped, beat to death, and destroyed the face of a young white woman, but as a “random burglary.” Perhaps this behavior by the police and media is what Attorney General Holder is talking about when he says that Americans are cowardly.

Now Nicholas Stix at Vdare goes into more detail on the case than seen previously, particularly on Vance’s stalking of other white women prior to his attack on Pressly, and on the media and police cover-up.

The coverup of the rape is seen in the New York Times’ story five weeks after the attack, “Robbery Suspected as Motive in Beating Death of Anchor.”

Lieutenant Hastings said the police had no reason to think Ms. Pressly had been singled out before the evening her assailant entered her rented cottage-style home in the affluent Pulaski Heights neighborhood.

“He was not stalking her,” he said in an interview. “We don’t know for sure, but we think the motive is going to be robbery. I think he saw an opportunity and took advantage of it.”

The police declined to say whether Ms. Pressly had been raped.

Of course the police would have known from the day of the attack that it was a rape. Yet they concealed it. This is unheard of. Yet it is reality. Look at it. This is what the police are like in the left-liberal, multiracial societies of the West. You might as well have the New York Times’ editorial staff running the Little Rock police department.
