The Bayou Strangler
Laissez les bons temps rouler? Not this time. ðŸŽ
For our final Black History Month drop, we are heading down to my old stomping grounds—the Big Easy. But we aren’t talking about King Cake, parade routes, or Bourbon Street benders. We’re wading deep into the sugarcane fields and the parishes where the justice system turned a blind eye.
This week on Mayhem Diaries, we’re dissecting the infuriating, devastating case of Ronald Dominique—The Bayou Strangler. Over a decade, he hunted the margins of society, targeting at least 23 Black men while law enforcement chalked up obvious strangulations to "asthma" and "accidental drownings." The system didn't just fail these men; it handed the killer a VIP pass to keep going.
Grab your drink and lock the deadbolt. It’s a heavy one, but we owe it to the victims to say their names and drag this systemic nightmare into the light.
