Support the independent voice of Dallas and help keep the future of Dallas Observer free.
Do not be surprised if this downtown Dallas crime story begins to sweep the nation -- hell, it's already up on a Minnesota NBC affiliate's Web site. It's a crime made for TV: Just before midnight yesterday, an 18-year-old ROTC cadet on his way home to Mississippi suffered a seizure in front of the downtown Greyhound station, during which a man walked over not to help the kid, but to ... yup, pick his pocket. And a surveillance camera caught the whole thing -- including the arrest yesterday, when Frank White returned to the scene of the crime. --Robert Wilonsky
Keep the Dallas Observer Free... Since we started the Dallas Observer, it has been defined as the free, independent voice of Dallas, and we would like to keep it that way. Offering our readers free access to incisive coverage of local news, food and culture. Producing stories on everything from political scandals to the hottest new bands, with gutsy reporting, stylish writing, and staffers who've won everything from the Society of Professional Journalists' Sigma Delta Chi feature-writing award to the Casey Medal for Meritorious Journalism. But with local journalism's existence under siege and advertising revenue setbacks having a larger impact, it is important now more than ever for us to rally support behind funding our local journalism. You can help by participating in our "I Support" membership program, allowing us to keep covering Dallas with no paywalls.
