When The Tea Bigots Breed You Get....

Michigan Serial Killer Suspected In Virginia Attacks

I have called for the media, fox, the tea party, right wing radicals and the Palins of this world to be held accountable for invoking hate, fear and racism from the moment President Obama stepped on the platform to run for the White House. I called for it the moment Palin stepped on the platform and nodded her head a bit and said nothing when someone in the audience shouted Kill Obama. I have called for people who carry guns to town hall meetings along with racial signs against our President to be held accountable. Now it is time for everyone to start screaming for accountability by all of these people. If they can't hear us through letters, and a voice of reason then it's time to shout! If these people are not held accountable then more people will find this kind of behavior acceptable and more people will die! Are we going to let these people that threaten us and our Country continue or is this going to be the end of it? It's up to us! We can let hate, racism and TV ratings be the voice of America or We The People can be the voice of America!~Mem

Virginia Attacks
by Journalist Leesburg: VA Aug 9, 2010

Michigan police said Monday that the white man who attacked 3 dark-skinned men in Leesburg, Virginia this month is believed to be the "Flint, Michigan serial killer,” who is the suspect in the killing of 5 men and the attack on another 10, almost all of them black, in Michigan.

The unprovoked Virginia assaults began August 3, when a 15-year-old boy went out for a nighttime jog and suddenly felt a sharp pain and saw blood. He turned and saw that a man had plunged a knife in his back. The assailant never spoke, but the teen witnessed him flee in a car described as a green minivan or sport-utility vehicle with a white stripe.

Two days later in Leesburg, the same suspected assailant wearing a baseball cap stabbed a 67-year-old man in the back who was sitting outside his apartment. Then on Friday night, the attacker approached a 19-year-old Hispanic man and asked for help fixing a dark-green SUV. When the two got into the car, the assailant aimed a hammer at the teenager's head. The teenager frantically turned as he was hit, and then ran for safety.

The 15-year-old and the 67-year-old remain hospitalized but are expected to recover. The 19-year-old is recovering also, police said.

Leesburg police said there are striking similarities in the attack methods, but the most convincing evidence is the consistent description of the suspect's green SUV. The car is described as a dark-green Chevrolet Blazer with tan paneling around the bottom and two grapefruit-size dents in the hood.

Another similarity is the description of the attacker: a white man with a muscular build who often wears a baseball cap. The suspect’s victims are mostly dark-skinned, vulnerable, older or of small stature, and are alone. In both Michigan and Virginia, the attacker has used the same trap, asking for help with his car.

"He's attacking based simply on the color of their skin," Leesburg Police Chief Joseph R. Price said. "I would consider this man to be very desperate and very dangerous." Police have contacted the local NAACP because the target of his rage and attacks appeared to be African Americans.

In Michigan, police think a single assailant has stabbed 15 men since May, killing five. Thirteen of the victims are black, and two are white. All of the those killed were black.

Michigan police are not ready to conclusively link the attacks in their state with the attacks in Virginia because it is not based on forensic evidence, such as DNA, although they have noted the similarities in the attacks. Leesburg detectives noticed the similarities first and alerted investigators in Flint.

Leesburg police have increased patrols and said they will not stop until they catch him. The FBI is assisting with the investigation. Authorities also are examining a possible link to an attack Saturday in Toledo, which is between Leesburg and Flint.

"I'd say it's someone who has a deep resentment against black people," if it is the same assailant said Oregon psychiatrist Ronald Turco, who has studied serial killers and worked with the FBI.

Police believe the killer is prowling for more victims and warned residents to be stay alert and not be out alone. Police in Michigan have been reluctant to confirm the attacker is motivated by race, but Leesburg police say it is.
