+{{expandable summary="Frederick Demond Scott – Serial Murders of White Victims, No Hate Crime Charges"}} |
|
75 |
+Between August 2016 and August 2017, Frederick Demond Scott, a Black male, murdered at least five White men in the Kansas City area, targeting victims who were walking alone on trails or in public parks. He was charged with six murders in total, five of which involved White male victims who appeared to have been chosen at random. |

+According to statements in a 2017 Kansas City Star article, Scott had previously made threats in school, saying he “wanted to shoot up the school and kill all White people.”{{footnote}}Man charged in Indian Creek Trail killings threatened to ‘kill all white people,’ family said.

+The FBI and DOJ were silent. The case was not designated a hate crime federally or publicly treated as racially motivated. Instead, the killings were attributed to mental illness, with the media heavily emphasizing Scott’s schizophrenia diagnosis. |

+Notably, none of the articles by mainstream outlets described the killings as anti-White, nor did any major civil rights groups (e.g., ADL or SPLC) acknowledge the racial pattern. The ADL, which routinely includes White-on-nonwhite attacks in its annual “extremism” and “hate” reports, did not list Scott in its summaries of hate-related violence.{{footnote}}ADL Extremism Reports 2017–2018. https://www.adl.org/resources{{/footnote}} |

+If a White suspect had murdered five unarmed Black men with a prior threat to “kill all Black people,” the response would have been treated as a national racial crisis and likely prosecuted as a federal hate crime. In Scott’s case, the racial motive was downplayed and legally disregarded. |
