Nedeljsko branje: analiza kriminala v Sloveniji. Pred nekaj dnevi je Niko Gamulin objavil svojo analizo, v kateri ugotavlja porast kriminala v zadnjem času. Zanimalo me je, ali je to res. Uporabljam surove policijske podatke. Najprej število vseh KD po mesecih.

I was a sensitive kid. I loved cats. I had OCD, undiagnosed.
When I was 9, a fraternity brother tortured a cat to death in my hometown. The details even now are beyond imagination. archive.is/xdmUL
I was traumatized for years from reading the news story.
The torturer? Now the head of the NRA.

In October, ICE grabbed Maher Tarabishi.
He was a 24/7 caregiver for his disabled son Wael.
At the time of Maher’s detention, disability advocates warned that taking away Wael’s caregiver put his life at risk.
Wael died on Friday at age 30.
ICE caused his death.
They didn’t get to say goodbye.

I'm surprised we don't yet have announced boycotts of the World Cup, but unless the World Cup goes off totally implausibly and improbably smoothly for international athletes and fans alike, it's hard for me to imagine that the '28 Olympics in LA won't get hit hard with boycotts.
