Scott claims his “brother was killed by a 22-year-old black man in a robbery last year,” so of course the proper response is to stalk, hunt down, and shoot in the back of the head middle-aged, white men who never see him coming.
It must all be Trump’s fault.
The case of Kansas City Missouri suspected racist serial killer of seven whites, Brandon B. Howell, still has not been disposed of, even though he allegedly slaughtered his last five victims on September 2, 2014.
Suspect charged in 2 shooting deaths near Kansas City trails; eyed in 3 more
CBS News
KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- A Kansas City man is charged in the shooting deaths of two men and is a suspect in three other killings that occurred along or near south Kansas City hiking and biking trails, prosecutors announced Tuesday.
Fredrick Demond Scott, 22, is jailed on two counts of first-degree murder and two counts of armed criminal action in the deaths of Steven Gibbons, 57, and John Palmer, 54. Prosecutors said DNA evidence connected him to the victims.
Prosecutors said Gibbons was shot in the back of the head as he walked along a south Kansas City street. His death had not been mentioned previously as related to four homicides along trails that were being investigated as possibly linked.
A probable cause statement says surveillance video showed Scott following Gibbons off a Kansas City bus and down a south Kansas City street on Aug. 13. He was later seen running from the scene of Gibbons' shooting and detectives linked him to the case through DNA taken from an iced tea bottle and a cigarette butt, prosecutors said.
Palmer was killed Aug. 19, 2016, in a wooded area near the Indian Creek trail, one of four deaths that police connected in May because they were all near trails and the victims were middle-aged, white men.
"At this moment there remains insufficient evidence to charge Scott" in the other cases, Baker said. "We expect today's charges will ease some of the concerns (in the deaths of) men walking on the trail, but we are only charging in two. We need the public's help in solving all five of these homicides."
Baker said a motive wasn't clear in the five killings, The Kansas City Star reported.
Scott told investigators he was upset about the 2015 stabbing death of his brother, according to police. Scott said he shot the two victims, investigators said.
The other victims are Mike Darby, 61, who was found dead May 18 along Indian Creek Trail; David Lenox, 67, found killed Feb. 27 a few feet from his front door while walking one of his dogs; and Timothy S. Rice, 57, who was found dead April 4 inside a shelter at Minor Park.
"Anyone who shoots innocent people walking on a trail should be prosecuted as heavily as possible," Shaton Duncan, who lives near the trail, told CBS affiliate KCTV.
The slayings terrorized the community for months.
"I was in the Army overseas but I didn't want to walk on the trail by myself, that's how dangerous it felt," area resident Chuck Loomis told the station.
Scott was in custody Tuesday at the Jackson County jail. A phone call to a public defender listed in online court documents was not immediately returned.
”Kill all white people”: Suspect in killings of 5 white men made threat in 2014
Boston Herald
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — The 22-year-old man suspected of shooting five middle-aged white men since last year — including four on south Kansas City walking trails — threatened in 2014 to shoot up a school and “kill all white people,” according to court records.
Fredrick Demond Scott, who was charged Tuesday in two killings and named as a suspect in three more, made those statements in January 2014 at Center Alternative School, as documented in a municipal citation for harassment.
Scott, who is black, has been charged with murder in the deaths of Steven Gibbons, 57, and John Palmer, 54. On Tuesday, Jackson County Prosecutor Jean Peters Baker announced those charges, also naming Scott as a suspect in the killings of David Lenox, 67; Timothy S. Rice, 57, of Excelsior Springs; and Mike Darby, 61, co-owner of Coach’s Bar & Grill.
All five were white men between ages 54 and 67. All five appeared to have been fatally shot, most from behind, in surprise attacks as they walked dogs, visited park areas and, in one case, walked down a city street.
Baker has said she saw no clear motive for the killings. Sources close to the case said the shootings, which occurred over the course of about a year, did not appear to be racially motivated.
His mother said in an interview with the Kansas City Star that he refused to get treatment for his paranoid schizophrenia but did not show any hatred toward white people. Scott was cited in Kansas City municipal court in 2013 for assault on his mother, accused of shoving her several times. She called police, hoping tough love would help him, she said.
After his arrest earlier this month, Scott repeatedly told detectives that he was angry about the 2015 shooting death of his brother. A co-worker of Scott’s at a south Kansas City Burger King said Scott appeared to be damaged by his brother’s death.
If Scott is responsible for all five deaths, as Baker suggested, he would meet the FBI’s standard of a serial killer.
If he cruised for victims on the popular walking trails in his area, it would be no great surprise that he killed middle-aged white men — many of the people on the trails alone meet that description.
Law enforcement officials close to the investigation described Scott as a loner, saying detectives had struggled to find many people who knew the 22-year-old well.
He had been in trouble with the law before, but not for anything close to murder.
The 2014 threats at Center Alternative were the most alarming example. A city citation for harassment quoted Scott as stating: “I want to shoot the school up, Colombine-style (sic).”
He also said he wanted to kill himself and “kill all white people,” according to the report.
Given probation for the offense, Scott was ordered to stay away from the school.
His mother said she did not recall the incident and that he even went on to graduate from the school.
Last year, he was found guilty of stealing a three-pack of underwear from a Dollar General.
Earlier this year, he had been ordered to pay $100 restitution for ripping the screens off of two front windows at the home he lived at in south Kansas City.
In some ways, the reason behind the killings remains a mystery as much to Baker as to Scott’s former co-worker at Burger King, one of the few people who have publicly said they know Scott.
The morning after Scott’s charges were announced, a former co-worker at the Burger King at Red Bridge Road and Holmes Road had not heard of his connection to the trail murders.
“Wow,” she said, visibly shaken at the news. “I just seen this kid here the other day … wow. Jesus Christ.”
Scott had worked at the Burger King on at least two occasions over a year ago, but had regularly visited the restaurant during the past year, the co-worker said.
The co-worker said she knew Scott was distraught over his brother’s murder when he went to the Burger King in search of a job the summer of 2016.
“He felt like his brother was the only person who loved him,” the co-worker said. “It really damaged him.”

Hate whitey, get whitey kill whitey. That is what it is all about. Nothing less and I don't want to hear any excuses or second opinion or any other reasons or motivations of explanations otherwise.
ReplyDeletethey will say it is mental issues or issues of some other sort. Of course.
Nothing on NNN.If this was a white guy killing blacks--Lesta would be on his bully pulpit ranting against "the white serial killer."Ten minutes of coverage every night.
ReplyDeleteQuestion:How do you get a message to NBC headquarters concerning how dishonest and racist they are?

Start moving black thugs to rich Jewish towns and then we'd see an immediate call by the NYT's for repatriation of unemployable, anti-social, violent thugs to Africa. On a smaller scale, Rahm Emmanuel has been doing a good job of moving Chicago blacks to Des Moines, Iowa since the blacks were taking up good reals estate. Repatriation of black thugs to Africa is the only thing that will help America survive. However, if the Chinese become a majority in the U.S., I'm sure they would do it without thinking twice.
