Dozens of American Airlines Pilots Face Demotion, Pay Cut After Losing Contract Dispute. Bless you, Conor Shine, aviation writer, for having to report on every jerk who starts an in-air fight and then turn around to explain such things as pilot seniority and how arbitration over contracts related to decades-old airline mergers is screwing over 85-plus AA pilots.

Fort Worth Man Gets 40 Years for Killing His Friend in 1973. Melvin Knox is 59 years old. He was 15 when he says he accidently shot his 14-year-old friend in the face then stabbed the boy with a butcher knife to stage the scene as a break-in. He confessed to this crime after detective Mike McCormack began a cold-case investigation in 2015.

Damien Wilson Blames Road Rage for July 4th Incident. The Cowboys linebacker was arrested for backing his truck into a woman, who was holding a parking spot for her family member, and brandishing a rifle.

Someone is Leaving Broken-glass Meatballs in Dogowners’ Backyards. North Dallas resident Cathi Holtsclaw thought the meatballs packed with broken glass must have ended up in her backyard by mistake, meant for bobcats and not her dogs. Then it happened again, and a dog-parent neighbor found some in his yard, as well. Police are investigating. If they don’t get the culprit, surely God will.
