In unrelated cases, the doctor had been arrested in 2004 on a charge of sexual abuse, according to a police report, after a 23-year-old woman told police Bello grabbed her, lifted her up and carried her off, saying, “You’re coming with me.” He was arrested again in 2009 on a charge of unlawful surveillance, after two different women reported he was trying to look up their skirts with a mirror.

Because American Mental Health Care is a shambles and we rarely put people on it or who clearly need it. That and there isn't a lot of push to stop folks like that despite some obvious alarm bells. Ten to one no one kept an eye on him after the fact and turned out of sight out of mind once he was gone.

A road rage incident in Pennsylvania escalated to the point that one driver pulled out a handgun and shot an 18 year old girl (who was coming home after picking up supplies for college) in the head, killing her. Bastard is still at large.

Another shooting, this time in Arkansas, with 17 people wounded at a nightclub. Thankfully no fatalities reported yet. Few details yet other than it was said to be "an exchange of gunfire" between two or more parties.

Airbnb sued by woman who says she was sexually assaulted by 'superhost'
The suit, filed Thursday by Leslie Lapayowker, raises fresh questions about the tech firm’s legal responsibilities when hosts violate laws or engage in criminal conduct.
Lapayowker is accusing Airbnb of negligence when it allowed her to rent a room from Carlos Del Olmo, who was previously accused of domestic violence.
“I don’t want this to happen to other women,” Lapayowker, a 51-year-old New Mexico woman, told the Guardian. “It was horrible, and I think that everybody should be warned that this could potentially happen to them or their daughter or their wife or their sister.”
And yes, what she accused the host of doing was pretty disgusting.

All other hostages are safe. 1 suspect is in custody, and is believed to be a disgruntled ex-employee of the restaurant.

Florida man leaves child in car, asks 'What's the big deal?'
Dillon Roberts, 20, of Malone, went into a Hardee’s restaurant when deputies received a call about a young child left inside a car, the Northwest Florida Daily News reported.
The child was said to have been left for approximately 20 to 30 minutes as the outside temperatures exceeded 90 degrees, according to the Northwest Florida Daily News.
When deputies arrived, the child and Roberts were inside the restaurant, but “the child’s face was red and his clothes were wet due to him sweating profusely,” the Northwest Florida Daily News reported.
Deputies questioned Roberts about the incident and Roberts replied, “What’s the big deal? I cracked the window,” according to the Northwest Florida Daily News.
Roberts faces child abuse charges.

French National Police reported that a heist was staged at the Ritz Carlton in Paris.
Comment: Damn, I stayed near that hotel with my folks a few months ago.
Anyway, most of them were arrested. A few others are in hiding.

I don't know why this thread isn't getting more replies, given how much the news media loves its regular crime stories. Well, let's start with a typical depressing murder tale:
Florida mom killed in case of mistaken identity in murder-for-hire love triangle
Oh, bother.
I reckon partly because 1) as you said it's usually pretty depressing, and 2) there's just so many crimes we could pick (which is also depressing).
If I was going to post something, I'd probably just stick with a Stupid Crooks news story.
And geez, that story is sad. Being murdered by mistake...that's just adding insult to injury.

For those who love their alcohol, how do you feel about an even lower DUI threshhold?
Full article text Personally, this won't affect me at all, so I'm in favor of it. Other countries, like Japan, have lower DUI limits than the USnote and given how many people still die as a result of drunk drivers, any measure that limits them sounds good to me.

I worked on this issue for 8 months in the provincial government, so I can offer some feedback.
Full disclosure: I drink but I don't drive (having a disability that fucks your depth perception among other things makes that a tad difficult, so I never bothered).
Yes, Canada and the US do have high limits compared to other developed nations (most of Europe does 0.5) and higher death rates to match. In Canada over 0.8 is illegal, while in every jurisdiction but Nunavut, going over 0.5 is going to get you slapped with provincial penalties (fines, suspensions, a mark on a record, addiction screening, etc) that are applied summarily. While I would normally support lowering the Canadian limit down to 0.5 (plenty of evidence shows that the majority of people should not be driving at that point), I don't at the moment. We are legalizing cannabis, and doing that and lowering the limit at the same time (impaired driving is already clogging our courts) would overwhelm police and the entire system.
As for Japan, a limit of 0.2 to 0.3 is essentially zero tolerance (the roadside screening machines can't detecting anything lower), which here only applies to drivers with prior offenses and those who aren't fully qualified yet, Its not without merit, but I'd consider it unworkable unless public transit is expanded in most places so that drivers have other options.
However, lowering the limit doesn't do a damn thing to deter chronic impaired drivers (the real problem), because they (correctly) assume that there is little chance of them getting caught. Sending police to patrol areas and hoping they hunt down a few drunks is ineffective. You want to lower impaired driving stats, you do what Australia did and start shutting down random highways on weekends to set up checkpoints. Everyone that goes through the checkpoint gets breath tested, which also eliminates profiling concerns because it doesn't matter what you look like or what you drive. This also means empowering police to demand tests (on pain of criminal charges for refusal) without any cause (smell, driving evidence, etc). This definitely has constitutional implications in the US and possibly Canada though. Places that have done this (checkpoints and random screening) have seen real reductions in both charges and deaths.

So, we've now got confirmation that a serial killer (thankfully in custody now) has been operating in Toronto. His targets were men in the LGBT community, and the remains of at least 9 people (plus a victim the cops managed to recover alive) were found on his property.

This is the 2nd serial killer Ontario has had pop up in the space of a year or two, after that nurse who spent years giving patients overdoses of insulin.

Damn. Glad they caught him and saved at least one victim. You never think of Canada in terms of serial killers. At least I didn't until I learned of the infamous pig farmer.
