“I would say it’s alarming the amount of crimes that we’re seeing and the severity of them,” said Officer Tiffany Mitchell with St. George police. “What we’re seeing is South American crime groups coming in and victimizing our community.”
Mitchell said they’re seeing thefts from gym lockers and "smash & grabs" at trailheads. She’s reminding visitors and residents alike to keep valuable property on their person rather than storing it in a vehicle or "hidden away."

The rise of the gay killer: Why pop culture is suddenly thirsty for queer blood
As the world becomes more and more of a nightmare, with an impending climate catastrophe and negative news arriving via push notification every other hour, people have turned to an unorthodox escape method: true-crime stories.
But in a noticeable shift from normal proceedings, true crime shows are now reintroducing us to a particularly deadly protagonist: the gay serial killer. Ryan Murphy’s The Assassination of Gianni Versace followed gay serial killer Andrew Cunanan as he pursued fame, love and money, killing anyone who crossed his path. Netflix docu-series Don’t F**k With Cats gave viewers an insight into the twisted mind of Canadian murderer Luka Magnotta. Later this year, The Barking Murders, a three-part drama starring Sheridan Smith and Stephen Merchant, will explore the crimes of the so-called "Grindr killer" Stephen Port, who murdered at least four men.
Tentative queer readings of murderous protagonists in films from decades gone by, such as We Need to Talk About Kevin, Kill Bill and several Bond villains who have flirted with homoeroticism (the most brazen example being Javier Bardem in Skyfall), have opened the door to the killers of today who are explicitly and unavoidably gay. The renewed interest in gay killers can be seen as a continuation of pop culture’s preoccupation with “gay death” – it’s just now we’re doing the killing as well as being killed.
“Gay people secretly wish for their own destruction. Whereas straight people secretly envy the unhinged libidinal urge of queer life.”

Dominick Dunne’s Tragedy Looms Large Over Netflix’s "Monsters...
The Menendez brothers, Lyle (Nicholas Alexander Chavez) and Erik (Cooper Koch), are far from the only two “monsters” in this Ryan Murphy and Ian Brennan-created season of television. Though the series is focused on the brothers’ 1989 double murder of their parents Jose (Javier Bardem) and Kitty (Chloë Sevigny), the narrative quickly expands to incorporate other monstrous recent events from the U.S.’s lurid true crime history.
One of those events is the tragic murder of actress Dominique Dunne in 1982. Episode 7 “Showtime” follows Dunne’s father, Dominick (Nathan Lane), as he continues to struggle with her death and allows it to tinge his coverage of the Menendez murders for Vanity Fair. But just who was Dominique Dunne, what happened to her, and why does her case loom large in Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story? Allow us to explain, with sourcing from People‘s “An American Tragedy That Brought Death to Actress Dominique Dunne Now Brings Outrage to Her Family,” Vanity Fair‘s “A Death in the Family,” and “Justice,” and other periodicals when indicated.

The vote was 8-3, with the majority agreeing to grant police the option despite strong objections from civil liberties and other police oversight groups. Opponents said the authority would lead to the further militarization of a police force already too aggressive with poor and minority communities.

Black woman who told white neighbor to 'get out of my face' after being asked to speak more quietly
A black woman talking on the phone in her Detroit neighborhood was slapped with a $385 fine after a white neighbor called the cops on her for being too loud.
Diamond Robinson was speaking on the phone on Thursday while taking a stroll in Eastpointe when she says she was approached by a neighbor who asked her 'Do you think that you can get off your phone or talk lower?' Robinson told Fox 2 News.
Robinson wrote on Facebook that her neighbor, who she called 'Rebecca', told her that she was talking too loud while she was working from home and her boss asked her about the noise.

Migrants are 'drinking all day,' 'having sex in the stairs' in taxpayer-funded New York hotels
An employee at Row, one of New York City's best-known hotels, became a whistleblower Wednesday after he released video and photos of illegal immigrants trashing the hotel and leaving fresh food out to rot.
Rodriguez shared videos of fresh, "good food" sitting out to rot in trash bags because "the migrants don’t want to eat them."
"They said they don’t like it," he said. "This is all food that is going to waste. This is insane."

America's mass shooting hotspots revealed
America's mass shooting hotspots have been revealed in a first-of-its-kind map — and they aren't necessarily where most people own guns.
Researchers at the University of Colorado looked at 4,011 mass shootings — defined as four or more gun deaths, not including the shooter — between 2014 and 2022.
They broke down the massacres in each state by population size to calculate a rate — to allow for a more fair comparison.
