Off-Topic Crime 2.0

Speaking of Chicago, I came across this podcast of a Cook County Sherrif that is using unconventional methods for law enforcement and is producing results. Interesting stuff because big issues like crime, education, healthcare, etc require innovative thinking rather than throwing money at it or using the same methods that haven't worked for decades. Worth a listen.

Haven't got a chance to listen... but glad there is some common sense people. Hopefully they are looking at the ways that other cities have lowered crime in the past for case studies in their approach.

More on the crazed airline passenger:

Torres told investigators that he went into the airplane’s bathroom and broke a spoon in half to make a weapon, prosecutors said in the documents. They say he told authorities he wanted to open the door so that he could jump out of the plane.

Investigators said Torres admitted knowing that if he opened the door many people would die.

Torres said the flight attendants confronted him and he stabbed one of them in an attempt to defend himself, according to investigators. They said he believed the flight attendant was trying to kill him.

Authorities did not say where Torres got the spoon, but TSA rules allow airline passengers to bring metal utensils except knives onto planes.

Seems like one could do a pretty good amount of damage with forks as well. 🤷‍♂️
