Agenda pushing

I listened to this series a few years ago and found it extremely intriguing. Listening to it through for a 2nd time, I can’t believe how disrespectful it is to question the integrity of some of these FBI agents, who never had a racial or questionable blemish on their tenures careers. You hear from absolute no bodies, who have clear racial agendas, telling you the FBI lied about the profile and were racist, as if they had anywhere near the experience or information that the FBI did at the time. The push of racial divide on an extremely clear-cut case is extremely disappointing and takes away from what is a very well produced and already intriguing case. Definitely do you research after your listen through.

no middle names ,

11pm-6am curfew???

The fact that this case is absolutely racially divided is a sham. This has very little to do with whites in any way. Perp, victims, mayor and community where all black. I fully comprehend that this was a time where things where difficult at those times but this is not a racially motivated crime in any way.
The 11pm. -6am curfew is just unbelievable and tells you alot bout how that community lived and cared for there kids. No where in the world are children allowed to be roaming the streets at night so how this was interpreted as unjust is crazy. Parents waiting for children at bus stops???? Whilst there is a child killer about???? This is not parents being protective at all. That is the bare minimum. No child should have been away from there parents if that was seriously going on. Times were different yes. But neglect is neglect no matter what time it happened or what race committed it. A number of these kids had nothing to do with the Atlanta child murderers. As time goes on no one wants to remember that community has some responsibility in the fact that children were not cared for as they should have been. And whites and the kkk had nothing to do with that no matter how much easier it is to portray it that way.
