Kansas City Star Spreads Serial Killer Fear As Police Confront Social Media Rumors

Again . . . We think it's worth repeating a truism for perspective on this situation . . .

The Star claims to speak to the concerns of "young, Black women" but I'm not even sure they have any on staff. 

What's sad about this story is that neither activist hacks nor mainstream media outlets want to acknowledge that the very real danger of sex crime and violent death on local streets impact drug-addicted Black women living in desperate circumstances . . . Their plight is so tragic and hopeless that most don't even mention it. 

Again, for the record, police have disputed social media garbage serial killer rumors no less than FOUR TIMES since a controversial "bishop" broadcast a TikTok to followup one of his questionable real estate schemes. 

Anyhoo . . .

Here's another political screed from the newspaper which attempts to score political points in lieu of sharing anything resembling the truth with readers . . .

"History underlies this case. Kansas Citians have claimed before that a serial killer was killing women on the East Side — and turned out to be right.

Police should recognize the fear now rampant in their community . . .
