A 2010 arraignment picture of “Grim Sleeper” defendant Lonnie Franklin Jr., then 57. Franklin is presently being tried for the murders of 10 black women, but is suspected in as many as 31 other murders.

You just gotta know where he is coming from.
Once you get to know him he is OK.
Just be cool around him.
As of know, the trial is scheduled to begin June 29.
This month HBO is running a film titled "Tales if the Grim Sleeper." The British filmmaker blames the "indifference" of the LAPD and whites in general rather than Lonnie Franklin, himself.
There are numerous half-truths and evasions. One, there were at least five serial killers operating in the area with similar MO's. Two, LA law enforcement spent considerable time and taxpayer's money on the case.
The film is mainly black residents of the area railing against the LAPD and "whites" in general. They seem to have relatively little ire against the perpetrator.
One woman woman attacks the LAPD for not solving the case and then brags about telling her children not to "snitch."
As usual, no sense of irony. Nor is there any mention of the quasi-official line of "There are no black serial killers."
