Larry Wayne Price Jr., 39, allegedly wanted to “disappear” with his mistress. Eventually, however, his brilliant plan would involve a hoax about kidnapping bikers, drugs, and finally criminal charges.

New York lawyer (and GW Law graduate) Aaron Schlossberg who went on a bizarre tirade against Spanish-speaking restaurant workers has quickly become the most hated man of the week in New York. The New York Post reports that he has now been kicked out of his office by Corporate Suites, the company that held his lease. There is also an effort to disbar him and even a petition to hire a mariachiband to follow him around New York. That could lead to an interesting legal fight if he alleges harassment or stalking. The moves against Schlossberg raises our long-standing debate over actions taken against people for obnoxious or unpopular speech in their private lives or on social media.
Tragic mauling deaths are unfortunately not uncommon. However, Tracy Garcia, 52, was initially listed as the victim of a pack of pit bulls in Ardmore, Oklahoma. It turned out that it was actually a pack of dachshunds, or wiener dogs. Police are now considering charges against their owner.

We often discuss the choice of whether to smile in a mugshot (at the risk of appearing gleeful) or frowning (at the risk of looking guilty). Angenette Welk, 44, chose poorly. Her smiling mugshot has prompted an outrage from people over the fact that, before she took the picture, she killed a 60-year-old mother in a drunk driving accident.

New York Democratic Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand told a supportive audience at the progressive Center for American Progress Ideas Festival that gender alone could make a difference in finance crises: “If it wasn’t Lehman Brothers but Lehman Sisters, we might not have had the financial collapse.” The problem, critics have noted, is that Lehman Brothers had a female CFO during the financial crisis. The bigger problem is how gender is often presented as a de facto credential by politicians and activists without acknowledging that it would also be de facto discrimination if used in this fashion. It is an interesting story coming on the heels of the story out of the University of Akron where a professor declared female students would be automatically given higher scores. Gillibrand’s comment comes when she is pushing for new sexual harassment legislation in Congress.

Students in the information sciences class of University of Akron Professor Liping Liu were taken aback by an email that shared some information on how Liu intended to engage in open sexual discrimination in his final grades. Liu announced that he intended to increase the grades of female students to encourage their continuation in the male-dominated field of information sciences. Liu has been prevented from carrying out his flagrantly discriminatory plan but there is no indication that he will face discipline for such abuse of his academic position.

Michael Bickerton, 49, insisted that his interest in sexual relations with children was purely fantasy. That did not sit well with English police who arrested Bickerton after he drove 130 miles to meet at 10-year-old for sex. It also did not help that he brought a cheerleading outfit with him in the car.
Cumberland (Wis.) police posted an interesting message for the Cumberland High School students responsible for this year’s prank. Using a black tarp, the students made it look like a car had crashed into Cumberland High School.
The police posted the image above with the message “Hats off to the Cumberland High School Class of 2018 on your senior prank. Congratulations Class of 2018 on one of best senior pranks that Cumberland High School has seen.”
That is high praise from your local police station.
Adrian Abramovich has distinguished himself in infamy, which a record FCC fine of $120 million for his key role in making nearly 100 million robocalls between 2015 and 2016. Last week, the FCC fine handed down in June, was finalized.

Today we discussed the curious case of the so-called “Dine-and-Dash Dater.” Paul Gonzales is accused of running out on several women at restaurants after expensive meal. As we discussed, much of the alleged crime would depend on the expectations or understanding of the daters. Below is a poll designed to gauge how jurors might view such a case.

We have previously discussed Antifa and its violent anti-free speech philosophy. The latest violent clashes occurred at Berkeley where middle school teacher and Antifa leader Yvonne Felarca, 47, was arrested for battery and resisting arrest for fighting in Berkeley’s much maligned “empathy tent.” Felarca has fought the charges and called the charges a “witch hunt” to convince the court to drop the charges against her. It did not work with a California judge who refused to discuss her felony charges. What was surprising was the language used by her lawyer in both courts filings and public statements.
There is a novel criminal charge in Los Angeles where Paul Gonzales has been accused of being the so-called “Dine-and-Dash Dater.” He allegedly would take women to expensive restaurants and then bolt after the meal — leaving several women with restaurant bills. He arranged the dinners through dating apps. He is already facing allegations of petty theft.
Local media has been broadcasting his image above to warn women about Gonzales and his alleged eat-and-bolt technique. Continue reading ““Dine-and-Dash Dater”: California Man Facing Charges After Running Out On Expensive Meals With First Dates”
We have been discussing the rapid erosion of free speech on our campuses and the increasing confrontations with students who bar speech with which they disagree. (Here and here and here and here) The most disturbing aspect of this trend has been the active support of academics and administrators, including defining the prevention of free speech as an exercise of free speech. The result is that schools are caving into academic demands made by students. The latest example is the action taken by the State University of New York at Oswego administrator, who reprimanded a student for making other students feel “uncomfortable” by raising liberal intolerance of free speech at an “Open Mic” event last month. Nicole Miller was called out under an “unofficial policy” — thereby confirming the very point of her remarks.
You might want to hold back before swiping right on Jacqueline Ades, 31, of Phoenix. The Arizona woman is accused of not just stalking a man who she met through a dating site but proceeded to tell him that she longed to bathe in his blood. That tends to be a turnoff for most available men.
