You can find all kinds of data about all the arrests in the NFL; tracking the alleged criminal behavior of football players has become something of a cottage industry unto itself. The San Diego Union-Tribune has a comprehensive database from 2000 to the present. Reddit user Mario Wolf has some charts on arrests sorted by team, division, and time of year. And The Sports Geeks offers a neat interactive timeline of all 664 incidents.

Context is a little harder to find. Six hundred sixty-four arrests seems like a lot. (Well, actually, given the news regarding Kaluka Maiava and Alfonzo Dennard within the last day, it\’s 666 arrests since January 2000. The NFL should root for one more arrest, ASAP.) That\’s a big, spooky number—big enough, especially when one of those 666 is Aaron Hernandez, to conclude the NFL has a Serious Problem. Does it?

To assess, we calculated the yearly arrest rate per 1,000 NFL players, by type of crime, based on 1,696 active players each season (53 roster spots multiplied by 32 teams). One note: Each NFL season has more active players than roster spots, so the arrest rate we\’ve produced here is actually a little overstated.

Shootings left at least four men dead and 9 other people wounded across the Saturday night and Sunday morning.

The violence was largely confined to the South and West Sides and three of the incidents had more than one victim, according to authorities.

The most recent shooting happened about 4:01 a.m. in the Cabrini-Green neighborhood — just north of Chicago Avenue on Cambridge Avenue. Two men, one 25 and the other either 23 or 24, were shot and taken to Northwestern Memorial Hospital. The older of the two was dropped off there and died of his wounds, and the other was taken there in an ambulance with a wound to the leg.

The man shot to death was identified as Donald Lewis, of the 2600 block of West 12th Place, according to the medical examiner\’s office, which reported he appeared to have died from multiple gunshot wounds. An autopsy was scheduled for Monday.

Someone shot up a birthday party about 1:50 a.m. in the Altgeld Gardens housing complex in the 600 block of East 131st Street, hitting four people. One, a 28-year-old man, died at the scene. The man was identified as Marcus Holden, of the 13300 block of South Langley Avenue, and he was declared dead on the scene at 3 a.m., according to the medical examiner\’s office.

Two others were taken to Advocate Christ Medical Center: a 40-year-old man and a 20-year-old woman. A 22-year-old man was dropped off at Metro South Medical Center in Blue Island and his condition had stabilized. The man and woman at Christ hospital were both in serious condition, police said. The Cook County medical examiner\’s office refused to release the name of the dead man.

A man was killed in Englewood about 11:30 p.m. Saturday. Someone fired at least six shots toward him inside a Marathon gas station at the corner of 71st Street and Ashland Avenue. The man, 25-year-old Eugene Clark, was pronounced dead at Advocate Christ Medical Center about 1:45 a.m. He lived in the 7900 block of South Karlov Avenue, according to the medical examiner\’s office.

About the same time, a 17-year-old girl was shot in the 5000 block of South Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Drive in the Bronzeville neighborhood. She was shot in the foot and taken to the University of Chicago Hospital.

WOODBURY NJ (JULY 24, 2013)While the Paulsboro police officer wasn’t close enough to read the defendant’s name tattooed on his neck, he’d known Delance Samuels \”since I began working in Paulsboro,\” and identified him as the suspect in a May 9, 2011 undercover crack cocaine sale moments earlier, the officer testified today in Samuels’ drug distribution trial.

\”It’s a small town,\” 13-year Officer Dennis Kille said in explaining his numerous encounters with Samuels (DOB 6/15/86), of 71B Baird Ave., Paulsboro.

 

UPenn Professor Who Called God A \”White Racist\” Brags: \”I Have Tenure. I Can’t Get Fired\”…

Hence the reason there are so many militant leftists in academia.

Via Daily Caller:

Anthea Butler, the Ivy League religious studies professor who called God a white racist after the Trayvon Martin verdict last week, doubled down on her statement and denounced the conservative media outlets that criticized her.

Butler, an associate professor of religious studies at the University of Pennsylvania, wrote a blog post for Religious Dispatches last week arguing that most Americans worship a \”white racist god with a problem\” who is \”carrying a gun and stalking young black men.\” […]

Butler also expressed gratitude to her tenure status at UPenn, which protects her from being fired no matter how many controversial statements she makes.

\”Thank God I got a great institution that takes care of me,\”

A 6- year- old and a 4 year old are upstairs in their bedroom. The 6 – year- old asks, \”You know what? I think it\’s about time we started cussing.\” The 4 year old nods his head in approval. The 6 year old continues, \”When we go downstairs for breakfast, I\’m gonna say something with hell and you say something with ass.\”

The 4- year- old agrees with enthusiasm.

When the mother walks into the kitchen and asks the 6- year -old what he wants for breakfast, he replies, \”Aw, hell, Mom, I guess I\’ll have some Cheerios.
