Inside this piece by David Cole is an exchange with a L.A. Times reporter over her bias in favor of the perp of the rape-murder of five year old Samantha Runnion in 2002:
"Times 'justice reporter' mocked the police for not having any evidence against Avila (when in fact they had tons of it)."
"This 'reporter' justified it with the typical mainstream journalist's combination of double talk and hypocrisy when they cover for nonwhite killers."

A week ago there was an article (https://www.mercurynews.com/2020/01/28/last-two-living-zebra-killers-denied-parole-tied-to-massive-california-murder-spree-targeting-whites-at-random) in a Bay Area paper titled:
"Last Two Living 'Zebra' Killers Denied Parole; Tied To Massive California Murder Spree Targeting Whites At Random. Bulk of killings motivated by Berkeley Police shooting."
The article is behind a subscription wall, but you might read it by quickly hitting "Print."
One of the authors is Thomas Peele, who wrote "Killing the Messenger," which I reviewed at WEJB/NSU a few years ago.
This piece is an example of what David Cole calls "mainstream journalists who cover for nonwhite killers."
A major theme is the killings were "motivated by a police shooting." They refer to Quita Hague being hacked to death and her husband barely surviving. This atrocity occurred BEFORE the police shooting. And it had been happening in California for years.
They report the two surviving killers "are running out of final chances for freedom."
What a tragedy.
Jessie Cooks last month postponed his next parole hearing until after his 80th birthday in 2025. Larry Craig Green, 67, was denied parole last summer for five years.
They call it "his next shot."
They tell us J.C.X. Simon died in prison in 2015 and Manuel Moore (we covered it) in 2017. Simon and Moore "consistently maintained their innocence until their deaths, according to parole hearing transcripts."
So what?
Simon whined about a "legal lynching." Green "has also consistently denied involvement, though he told a parole board in August that he believed at the time white people were 'devils.' He has since come to the realization that, 'we're all human beings,' he said."
I thought we were supposed to be all human beings in 1973.
Cooks has admitted his guilt before parole boards. He had been arrested after fatally shooting Francis Rose only a week after the Quita Hague murder. The writers of the piece don't tell us Cooks was practically caught in the act.
As always they whine about the brief random stoppage policy and how bad THAT was. They tell how Anthony Harris "came forward to police, implicating Green, Cooks, Moore, and Simon in the shootings, the attack on Hagues, and the 1973 killing of an unidentified man who he said was hacked to death."
They then go on about the Berkeley police shooting, which you could say was provoked by the "victim" taking a cop's gun and pistol-whipping him with it, but they don't.
And they claim this led to the next round of "random" killings.
The article describes the April 1974 Joseph Bellmore murder in Sacramento. One of the killers, Larry Pratt, told a parole board it was retaliation for the police shooting. Pratt "was granted parole."
It then tells of the Chauncey Bailey murder in 2007 by members of Your Black Muslim Bakery and the Zebra Murders-style copycat killing of white restaurant worker Michael Wills.
The East Bay killings are mentioned at the end without numbers or context. The article then meanders to an end.
