The media have been using the words “craigslist killer” a lot. That’s like saying “telephone book killer” for someone who looks up his victims in the phone book. It’s just about the media hyping things that should not be hyped.
Nevertheless, Craig should charge a nominal amount for ads and not have pick up or sex ads.
I’ve heard a couple of other Craigslist-is-evil stories in the MSM in the wake of this one. I agree with a poster yesterday who said hyping this particular case could well be an effort by the dinosaur media (especially newspapers that have seen sites like Craigslist decimate their advertising dollars) to make Craigslist radioactive..
