I won't post his actual street address, but it's a typical tract house, pretty boring.
Such Diversity!
What a shame that he can't enjoy the place.

(16,038 posts)In 2011, the racial composition of the state was:
84.0% White American (81.0% non-Hispanic white, 3.0% White Hispanic
11.7% Black or African American
0.5% American Indian and Alaska Native
1.7% Asian American
0.1% Native Hawaiian and other Pacific Islander
1.9% Multiracial American
I suspect it is easier to find city demographics like this than it is do find diverse demographics.

11.3% versus 00.3% is a big deal, his neighborhood is not close to the state demo at all.
The state has 40 times as many blacks in the mix.
And the neighborhood where he murdered Brown had 271 times the number of blacks.
Its almost as if he wanted to go "hunting" every day.

It is way harder to dehumanize the people who live in your neighborhood.

(1,827 posts)The NY Times reporter who did has been harassed at home and at work by bloggers who found out all her personal information. Her shoplifting record was also found and publicized.
You honestly don't want those people after you.

But thanks, you are right!

I am friends with some of the women to whom you refer.

(1,827 posts)and that's the point. I have links to the blogger crap. I'll IM it, but I won't post it. It's pretty vile.

(1,827 posts)The facts:
1. The NY Times was believed to have published the address of Darren Wilson. (Snopes says they did not, but they clearly published something that they retracted, and I would have to have a source other than Snopes to verify what it was. The address has been published before, so it wouldn't be unique to the NYTimes.)
2. Bloggers went after both NYTimes reporters, listed their addresses in many places on line, and found and published the shoplifting record of the female reporter, who was originally from Wisconsin.

That photograph was of a marriage license.

(23,720 posts)it is the reason I asked. So thank you for your terse response. I feel certain that you will make many friends here.
Welcome.

(1,827 posts)The only possible referent for "those people" in this context is either bloggers or fans of Wilson, who would be probably be white, correct?
So how does that translate into another interpretation?
Seriously. How does your logic work?

(3,431 posts)pretty quickly without letting anyone know his new address. He seems to have collected
enough money to disappear for a while.
NYC_SKP
(68,644 posts)And he and wife will probably never buy another home anywhere under their own names.
I suspect some RW group will take care of any needs he has, maybe he'll have to keep any property in a friend's friend's name.
Sadly, he will never have to work again if he invests the $$$ he's getting right now wisely.
But he will never step foot in that house again, much less Crestwood, MO.
His face is very recognizable, he might not be able to get out much at all no matter where he moves.
