Virginia, Michigan and Ohio Killings

A late August Washington post article (found below) follows the initial capture of a suspect from a "rash" of serial killings in Virginia, Michigan and Ohio. The lead Michigan prosecutor portrayed the man as "evil" and said that he "...should get the maximum sentence of life without parole."  The man's nationality of Israeli was brought into the article stirring up the topic of middle eastern citizens in the US causing trouble. It seemed to be a mild fear mongering tactic saying things such as "...he thinks the attacks in Leesburg were racially motivated. Sixteen of the victims in the three states were black, one was a dark-skinned Hispanic man and one was white." This plants the seed that outside of his race, all other races in the US are at jeopardy for attack. The article mentions only the prosecution from different states and unspecified law enforcement agencies related to the transportation of the criminal.
