Update From the Dept. of Ironic Crime

Saturday we shared the tale of a young woman who made the fatal choice of Baltimore as an ideal place for “building a deeply inclusive culture.” Since then, there seems to have been a rash of such ironic crimes. Irony is not to be confused with comedy, of course, and we would not want people […]

Say hello to Reginald Kane Jackson, a/k/a PoniaX Kane Calles, and while you’re at it, go ahead and say good-bye, because Jackson/Calles shuffled off this mortal coil in July, shortly after he fatally shot a hospital security guard in Portland, Oregon.
