A Very Bad Person Road Rages in Las Vegas, Runs Over Elderly Man

This is incredible. Some idiot from California ran over an elderly man in a Las Vegas gas station, in an apparent case of extreme "road rage."

If you recognize this Honda Accord please call your local police department or the Las Vegas Metro PD...

Who is Miriam Carey of Connecticut?

This morning dental hygienist Miriam Carey of Connecticut decided to "attack" the White House, hurt a police officer, lead Washington DC police and Secret Service agents on a high-speed car chase towards the US Capital building... and then get herself shot. The Brooklyn, New York native had a young child (who luckily wasn't injured) in her black Infiniti sedan and was shot at several times before stopping.

So now we all want to know: who is Miriam Carey? Did she have a gripe against the federal government? Did she hate President Obama? Is she pissed off that's she's not getting her welfare checks during the shutdown? Was she just trying to take a tour of the White House grounds?

Is she Mariah's cousin??

Capitol police say they don't yet know much about the woman or her motive. They say it was probably an "isolated incident" and not related to terrorism. A source from ABC news stated that she had a history of being batshit crazy mental health issues.

If anyone knows anything about Ms Carey please post a comment below... thanks!

Las Vegas: A Dangerous Spring Break Spot?

According to a new study, Las Vegas is one of the United States' most dangerous spring break destinations. Avvo.com claims that Vegas is the 3rd most dangerous spring break spot, behind only Daytona Beach and Orlando. They came to that conclusion by looking at city crime statistics which, as UNLV criminologist Dr. William Sousa points out, is a seriously flawed method.

He says that the list compares a few large cities to several small towns, which according to him is like comparing apples to oranges. So basically, larger cities like Las Vegas are going to have much more overall crime simply because they have larger populations. But he also says that if the study included the large number of tourists located in Vegas at any given time, the city's crime rate would actually drop significantly.

According to Dr. Sousa:

"In order to be on the list, you have to be a tourist destination, you have to be a spring break destination. So you’re really not looking at dangerous places, you’re looking at a very short list of place that are known for spring break. That means virtually nothing when it comes to looking at how dangerous a city would be."

And according to our always quotable Mayor Oscar Goodman:

"Whoever made up that story is nutty as a fruitcake and you can quote me on that."

Other cities on the web site's list include Park City, Santa Barbara, and Kihei, Hawaii.

What's most funny about the whole thing is that Las Vegas doesn't even market itself as a spring break destination. But apparently all the crazy casino hotel pool parties shown on TV shows in recent years has significantly increased Vegas's popularity as a spring break destination!
