ALR Episode 279 – Crime and the 10 Commandments, NY Style

We’ve made a lot of fun of “Florida Man” in previous episodes, but the truth is that “Florida Man” doesn’t hold a candle to “New York Man” when it comes to crime. While “Florida Man’s” exploits are bizarre and often hilarious, New York Man tends toward senseless violence. Today we…
