5 Dead After Mass Murder In Kansas, One Disturbing Reason Mainstream Media Won’t Report It

A Kansas City, Kansas, man was charged in the deaths of two middle-aged white men and a suspect in three more, and some believe he killed the men because of their race.

Frederick Demond Scott was charged in the murder of 57-year-old Steven Gibbons and 54-year-old John Palmer, and was also named a suspect in the death of 67-year-old David Lenox, 57-year-old Timothy S. Rice and 61-year-old Mike Darby.

All five men were fatally shot from behind while they were walking. One of the men was killed while waking down the street, while the others were either walking dogs or visiting parks.

Scott’s mother told the Kansas City Star that her son refused to get treatment for paranoid schizophrenia, but she never saw any hatred toward white people from him.

“As far as I know Fredrick never had a problem with white people,” the man’s mother said. “He would do odd jobs for people and some of those people were white men.”

Police said they weren’t sure that the killings were racially motivated, but Scott did threaten to shoot up a school in 2014 as well as “kill all white people.”

“I want to shoot the school up, Columbine-style,” he was quoted as saying in a report. The report also stated that he wanted to kill himself.

“Wow,” Scott’s former co-worker at a local Burger King said in response to the news. “I’d just seen this kid here the other day … wow. Jesus Christ.”

Many readers called on the mainstream media to report the story as a racially motivated series of attacks.

“The media is disgusting! This should be national news. This piece of crap human better get the death sentence or life with no parole,” one Mad World News reader commented on the site’s Facebook page.

“bviously this man is a racist. And as far as him ” having to live with his choises”, he doesn’t regret anything I’m sure (except getting caught). That doesn’t keep KKK or white supremist from being racists. There are plenty of racists on both sides. And no onewith any moral fiber is NOT proud of them. Nor should anyone want to be associated with them. Why are you and others so determined to make one side or the other “resposible” for these a**holes. THEY are responsible for themselves and their choices and actions. Them and no one else,” another wrote.

“his main stream media better wake up and smell the coffee because one day someone may show upon their doorstep what are they going to say then maybe we shouldn’t have supported this kind of violenceit will be to late when one your family members is lying on the ground dead,” another added.
