And let’s remember that when a victim is an undocumented Latina or a black transwoman. |
Or any woman of color period. There's been a serial killer running rampant in Chicago for a decade. No headlines like this (and I won't get into why) - but more men who are preying on women's lives need to be taken off the streets. https://www.cosmopolitan.com/politics/a27816111/chicago-serial-killer-strangling-women/ https://www.chicagotribune.com/news/breaking/ct-met-strangled-women-chicago-police-task-force-20190510-story.html https://twitter.com/Karnythia/status/1124372583502241792 |
DP, but I’m a pro-choice atheist. I can still recognize that sex work is exploitative and dangerous, and not at all the same as marriage. |
+1. If it didn’t happen at 3am with this woman, it could have easily happened to another one on her 2nd or 3rd date with this guy. |
| So many people saying he was a serial killer. Have the police said that, or are you just speculating? |
The police have not said he killed anyone else. Its people speculating based on the interview with a contractor the man approached to install a sex dungeon/torture room in his basement (hooks and soundproof facilities) plus his own comments about witnessing two murders very similar to what he did the woman they know he killed. He may have just been a disturbed individual. |
+1 Awful. |
Which is racist. The man could very well have been designing a music enjoyment room with hooks for decorations. Why all the negative speculation? Oh, immigrant from Africa. |
A music room with a lock that's thumb print activated so only he can get in? Sure, that sounds legit.... |
And "hooks" on the wall? Besides, he wrote a book about what he did including burning the body. |
| The guy is a monster. But no one had an issue when he was abusing his AA wife. |
Who knew? |
Google is your friend. |
| The guy isn't a serial killer. To be a serial killer he would have to be better at it. Putting a mattress online and burning her in his backyard doesn't tell me that he's a guy who knows how to do this successfully. |
Exactly! If he was apprehended after he raped, tortured, killed and burned his AA wife, I would be equally outraged. Do not make it a race issue. It is not as if he was a White man preying on minority women and got away after repeatedly found with the murder weapon in his hand as he butchered his victims, just because of his race. Women of all color are abused by men in their lives and the families very often do nothing to rescue their sisters, mothers, daughters or even report it. What is unreported cannot get the attention of the society. This may be the very first murder of a very disturbed and evil individual, and he was caught. Maybe the victim would have been black, latina, underage, a toddler, asian, elderly man, woman or child. Why does that matter? A very sick murderer was caught. Maybe, Mackenzie Lueck told her friends to report if she did not turn up at work after her assignments. Perhaps they knew that she was in a risky line of work and so they were vigilant in reporting. |
