And Another Thing With Dave, by Dave Smith - (not the comedian) COVER is taken from TIME Magazine 1958
In this episode of And Another Thing With Dave, we dig into the 2026 homicide statistics that almost nobody in mainstream media wants to touch. Dave walks through publicly available data on homicide rates by race, age, and gender — and explores why certain cases dominate headlines while others disappear.
We look at the Henry Nowak case in the UK, the Anthony Carmelo trial in the U.S., and the murder of Irina (Erna) Zaruzka — plus the nationwide vandalism of murals created in her memory. Dave also examines how media framing, political incentives, and cultural narratives shape public perception of violence in America.
Dave brings Grok into the conversation to break down factors like family structure, environment, community conditions, and why violence is concentrated among specific age groups. Together, they explore how data trends have shifted from 2015 to 2024 and why these patterns matter today.
