339 - The Death Angels
Timesuck with Dan Cummins
What's Happening in San Francisco?
A thousand of black people moved to the area during and right after World War II. The Navy shipyards at Hunter's point closed down leaving many more African Americans without jobs. Race is housing practices limited these citizenslimited the citizens. Crime and poverty tick up creating more tension between black residents and white police officers.
The Zebra Murders were a series of racially motivated attacks and murders committed in San Francisco, California, by some so-called "Death Angels." From October of 1973 to April of 1974, a group of cold-blooded killers truly terrorized the city. Why? Nation of Islam teachings had convinced them that white people, in general, were truly evil "white devils" who needed to be destroyed. They were also taught that it was time for black men and women to violently start ridding the world of these white devils so that a type of heavenly paradise on Earth could be restored. Covering a lot of wild history today and theology in addition to a lot of true crime this week. If this episode doesn't entertain you, I've got nothing for you!
