was he one of those white Christian boy scouts that all turn out to be serial killers?.....I guess not....

who were his victims? did he attack his own community or make a special effort to attack well beyond his community...?

He should have been executed after his first conviction(s) and saved the taxpayer a lot of money and the families of his victims, lots of ongoing grief.

Just don’t give them medical attention when they come down with something fatal. Do them the Clarance Thomas diet-Bacon and eggs.

IIRC he was the guy they caught when he was chasing his next victim down the street after she managed to get away.

I was wrong. It was the smell in the house when the cops showed up with an arrest warrant for another assault.

You do realize that’s not his actual diet, that’s just what Julianne Malveaux wished his wife would feed him?

It was eggs and butter, not bacon and eggs.

He was a black man who enjoyed killing black women.

That’s why we never heard of him.
