This young man needs a reality check. Randall Flagg is the only true Anti-Christ.
Chuck,
Your statistics are misleading at best. According to the DOJ and MOCSA, 80-90 percent of all rapes are committed by someone of the same race as the victim, so again, why is everyone trying to hide their racist tendencies under this random serial rapist?

According to MOCSA over 80 percent of rapes are committed by someone the victim knows www.mocsa.org. A serial rapist is an anomaly.
It is more harmful to the victims of any rape to throw out incorrect statistics.
This is not shocking, coming from the state that once banned teaching evolution in science class. I hope they kicked off this anti-drug campaign with a big mug of beer, oh, wait, alcohol is a drug too isn't it?
I did enjoy reading about The Pitch's research team, keep up the good investigative reporting work.
Oh, and your title says "birher" Mr. Kendall.
As a government worker you would think she would understand that laws prevent the government from releasing birth certificates.
Ronu- Your comments are ridiculous; saying you love MLK but hate black people is like saying you are against same-sex marriage but have gay friends. You do realize white men rape all races of men/women as well right? So this one guy is going to make you think it's a race thing? Besides the fact that you can't spell, I'm convinced you can't think logically at all.
I am a white woman; I work with a group of 20 or so teens who are all AA off Woodland. They are the sweetest people you could ever meet. None of them would dare say the things you said in your post about white people. You have zero logic backing your comments about the black community and I am embarrassed for you that you even made them. I agree with @50th and Wyandotte that your claim to being one of his victims sounds like total bs. It is quite dubious that a victim of his would come on here and talk in such a trifling manner about the situation and about their hatred for black people during such a difficult time emotionally.
Skyler- As I said above, I work with the urban community. They have plenty of wonderful role models. Several of the teens that I work with are exceptional people. And of those several, many are gang members. I am curious if you have ever talked to someone in a gang. Either way, I encourage you to do so. To understand their lives and why so many choose a life of gangs is to better assist the fight against gang violence.
To everyone else who is living in fear, consider the cultivation theory. In reality your chances of being a victim of a violent crime are 1 in 10,000. Keep yourself safe, but don't be ridiculous and vigilante about the situation. If anything, you are putting yourself in more danger by hunting the Waldo rapist down. As a community we should be ashamed of politicians' statements that imply everyone should be sleeping in fear. We should be ashamed of ourselves for being so ignorant to our community members.
Re: “Alonzo Washington mocks your fears of the Waldo rapist”
I would love to see an actual link or study to support your claim, unfortunately outside of blatant racist sites, you will have zero evidence to support you.
And, anyone is is most fearful of interracial stranger rape (which, I'm curious why interracial strikes more concern than just...RAPE...it doesn't, but as a man who probably assumes he will never be raped- 1 in 7 men are raped though so you have a good chance- you probably can't relate to the true fear of rape) is an idiot. To be more afraid of stranger rape period, is ridiculous, you are 90 times more likely to be raped by someone you know and 80 to 90 times more likely to be raped by someone of the same race. You, Mr. Smith, are pulling shit out of your ass.
Lastly, you bring up a wonderful point about what we hear of rape cases. White woman syndrome fits perfectly into your claim.
