The man’s girlfriend then got into the front seat and began patting the injured victim’s waistline, apparently looking for more valuables.

It’s not just the violent crime, but their disposition while behind the wheel we have to watch out for. Anecdotal evidence is still evidence—which is then almost always backed up by the data. This morning while driving my son to school, I was behind someone who was driving like a total a-hole. He/she was speeding through the school zones (there’s three schools all on the same half-mile stretch of road), and he/she was absolutely riding the person in front. I made an educated guess, and predicted the driver was… black. And it turned out I was right: the driver was...

For several days the pontificating media have been parading around the various jurors in the Lindsay Clancy murder trial, using the mostly white women to frame the deliberations as sexist and insensitive to the emotional plight of a woman who strangled her three children to death with an exercise band.

The previously described “one male holdout juror” who created a mistrial by failing to find the murdering mother...
