Craigslist gone mad

Hey gays,

All the craigslist killings, robbings and such is going through the roof. What started out as a really good idea has gotten seedy. Even if you try and rent an apartment there is plenty a scam artist looking to steal your money.

Now we have the "Craigslist Killer" .

The one thing that I've noticed through all the media coverage and interviews with friends, etc. is how often he is referred to as "clean". "He's Clean cut, I can't believe it, he's so neat and clean". It almost makes it seem as if you have to be dirty and unkempt to be a killer..I think people forget that clean white people commit crimes just as much as messy and dirty people do, maybe even more.

The other thing I noticed is that there have been many instances over the years with people being killed, hurt and attacked from using craigslist like the kid last year that was lured by a group of guys to a parking lot to have sex and he was hit by a car trying to get away from them attacking him but that barely got any national press, could it be because he was black and gay....


It seems that craigslist has lost a handle on what it was meant for because they really do not have any rules. I'm not sure if they could curb whats going on lately because during a bad economy sex sells...The site has no control over what people are going to do and I hope people start thinking twice about meeting up with strangers alone for services...It's a no win situation it seems....

XO, BT
