Inside Man
So, I just binged Inside Man on Netflix. It's easy to binge, it's only four episodes. But, more important, it's a verging on insane, fast ride of a murder story -- actually more than one murder story -- and it touches on all kinds of life and death issues. It also probes the meaning of parental love, and even has some lethal comedy throw in. Truth is, I've never seen anything like. And you should, too. It's that good, that unique, and memorable in all kinds of ways.
Paul LevinsonPublished about a year ago in CriminalTimeline of Central Park Jogger Case
April 19, 1989: after 9pm, a group of 33 teenagers went into Central Park at 110th Street and 5th Avenue for the purpose of beating and robbing people in the park – an activity known as “wilding.”As the group traveled south through the park, they harassed and assaulted random people they encountered. At least seven men – joggers, walkers, and bikers – were attacked by the group between 9pm and 10pm. Two of the men had such serious head injuries that they were hospitalized. As the group was rioting through the park, different people who saw them or who were harassed by them notified the police. Central Park police officers began searching for the group, traveling to the last destination where the group had reportedly been. And the young men, seeing approaching police lights, retreated into the darkness and behind trees to avoid the police. Finally, at almost 10pm, the group left the park at West 96th Street. The Central Park police officers, unable to find the youths, also left the park and immediately saw a large number of young men walking north on Central Park West. The officers tried to detain the group, but the young men scattered – some running west and others jumping the wall and running back into Central Park. Five of the teens – including KEVIN RICHARDSON and RAYMOND SANTANA were arrested in or adjacent to Central Park, shortly after the last assault and robbery occurred. The rest of the group fled. At the time, the group was intercepted, the police did not yet know that a female jogger had been raped, beaten, and left for dead in the woods north of the 102nd Street transverse. The police were interviewing the young men who had been apprehended and preparing paper work to charge them with the assaults and robberies for the crimes against the male victims.

My first real job was at a Wendy's restaurant in Indianapolis, Indiana. After nine months, I left. I can only say that it was a miserable experience. The term fast-food refers to restaurants like McDonald's and Wendy's. This is because they are in the business of getting food to you fast. Credit cards and debit cards are probably the most commonly used payment methods today. However, plastic was uncommon in the 1980s. Almost everyone paid in cash.

“Welcome to Chippendales”: Who was Dorothy Stratten?
The latest prestige show to tell popular culture history, “Welcome to Chippendales” sees Robert Siegel, the writer behind “Pam & Tommy,” reveal another tale of sex and crime that informs culture to this day. The show stars Kumail Nanjiani as Somen “Steve” Banerjee, who founded Chippendales in 1979. Much more salacious than how Bob Guccione built the Penthouse empire, both the show and the true story behind it features the “Chippendale murders,” when in the late 1980s and early 1990s Banerjee directed one murder and two attempted murders of former business associates he felt wronged him, namely Nick De Noia (portrayed by Murray Bartlett), Michael Fullington, and two ex-dancers.

1. Jack the Ripper A dreadful year to be a prostitute was 1888. Five women were murdered in the Whitechapel neighbourhood of London's East End between August 7 and November 10, and all of their bodies were mutilated in a way that suggested they were all killed by the same person. Their throats were slashed in each case. Even the kidney of one victim was sent to the police, along with a string of insulting messages written by someone identifying themselves as Jack the Ripper. Serial killing was a relatively new phenomena, and the attacks received extensive media coverage. Due to the public anger over the law's failure to catch the murderer, both the home secretary and the London police commissioner were forced to retire.
