Since changed Detroit Free Press headline: Kalamazoo rampage among the worst Uber incidents
It's reassuring to know that mass shootings are not part of the Uber experience, but at least initially a Detroit Free Press headline writer didn't seem to know that about the popular ride sharing service. A Free Press article reports on last night's deadly shooting spree in western Michigan killed six people; the original headline was, "Kalamazoo rampage among the worst Uber incidents." The articles banner as of tonight reads "Kalamazoo rampage the worst known Uber incident." That's an improvement but are there some unknown even deadlier Uber-related crimes?

Robert Stacy McCain: A patriot's Twitter account is suspended
Earlier this month Twitter announced the formation of the Trust & Safety Council, which is dominated by leftists, to police the conversation on the micro-blogging site.
Two days ago, although he's not sure why, Robert Stacy McCain's Twitter account was suspended. The Ministry of Truth may be behind it.
McCain has been covered in great detail the #Gamergate controversy.

Uber driver suspected in mass killing in Kalamazoo
From MLive.com:
Six people were killed and two people seriously injured by a lone gunman in three separate random shooting incidents that began at around 6 p.m. Saturday, Feb. 20, in outside a townhouse in Richland Township. The next shooting happened at Seelye Automotive on Stadium Drive at around 10 p.m. and the third at the Cracker Barrel restaurant at I-94 and 9th Street at about 10:15 p.m.
Getting said there appears to be no connection between the victims at the three locations, who were apparently shot only because of their availability to the shooter.
Authorities have not discovered any additional shooting incidents between the first two, nor between the third shooting and the arrest of Jason B. Dalton, 45, the lone suspect arrested in the mass shooting spree, who was taken into custody at around 12:40 a.m. Sunday.
A Kalamazoo County sheriff's deputy spotted the Chevrolet HHR that Dalton was driving leaving the parking lot of a bar in downtown Kalamazoo. Kalamazoo Department of Public Safety officers were able to quickly pull Dalton over "without incident" on Ransom Street between Porter and Walbridge streets downtown's near north side.
On this day in 1916: Battle of Verdun begins
If any battle best symbolizes the futility of World War I it is the Battle of Verdun which began on February 21, 1916 and ended nearly a year later. Other than being the killing ground for about 300,000 soldiers from the French and German armies and wounding even more, Verdun, nominally a French victory, settled--nothing.

Jeb suspends--make that quits--prez race
After a disappointing, some might say disastrous presidential run, former Florida governor Jeb Bush announced tonight that he is suspending his campaign. Who is he fooling? Suspending is a more palatable way for presidential candidates to say that it's over. And it is indeed over for Jeb. Buh-bye!

(Photo) Demolition of an old Rush University hospital building
Rush University Hospital opened a dazzling medical center in 2011 and had no need for some of its older buildings, such as the one being demolished in the photograph I took on Thursday.
It was once the Daniel A. Jones Hospital at 1753 W. Congress Parkway and it opened in 1888. If you are on the eastbound lanes of the Eisenhower Expressway you'll see what's left of the building, but not for much longer.

Elevated tracks above Lake Street in Chicago
If this view of Lake Street at Talman in Chicago's East Garfield Park neighborhood looks familiar it could be because you recognize it from The Dark Knight.
A couple miles west of here is where Christian Bale's Bruce Wayne character smashed his Lamborghini.
What you see are elevated train tracks of the CTA's Green Line above Lake Street.
In the distance you can see the onetime Sears Tower.
