Fox 8 reports. There used to be no murders in the area around New Garden. This is the second I have seen, however, over the last few years. What has changed? It seems fairly obvious.

Charlotte Has A Problem
Four homicides in 24 hours. It seems that might ring some warning bells about political leadership. (HT: Carolina Plott Hound) It reminds me of Greensboro– just on a larger scale.
UNCG Stands By Its Police
The News and Record did a better job in its follow-up story after its horrible initial coverage of the incident that took place on the UNCG campus. It became clear in this story that the UNCG police had ample justification for intervening in this case during which a young black […]
Stein’s Signature And The Problem Of Crime
It was reported yesterday that Governor Josh Stein signed into law the crime bill that arose in response to the Charlotte Light Rail murder. He was clearly reluctant based on his public comments and the amount of time he took to sign it. This might seem different than what many […]

I am not willing to concede that fatherlessness is not a contributing factor. […]
NC Democrats Oppose Crime-Fighting Bill
HT: Carolina Plott Hound The bill was developed in response to the horrific murder on Charlotte’s light rail. The response by the socialists is almost stereotypical: House Dems spent hours debating against Iryna’s Law and doubling down on their soft-on-crime policies. Welcome to today’s edition of “Did They Really Just […]
Charlotte Murder And State/ Local Leadership
Charlotte Mayor Vi Lyles said the following in response to the national uproar over the murder of a young woman on the city’s light rail: “We will never arrest our way out [of] issues such homelessness and mental health…” This statement made me think back to when I used to […]
