While reading a headline on my RSS reader just now, "Machete Attack Results In Arrest," I though to myself, probably a Mexican, meaning that the percentages favored a Hispanic-American perpetrator.
Sure enough:
A man was charged by Wilmington police with assault Sunday afternoon after he was accused of cutting two roommates with a machete, according to a release from Wilmington Police Department spokeswoman Lucy Crockett.
Noe Garcia Velazquez, 30, of the 400 block of Rutledge Drive, was being held on a $52,500 bond, charged with assault with a deadly weapon and assault with intent to inflict serious injury.
Velazquez and the other man left, but Velazquez was later found by police and arrested, initially on outstanding warrants.
So not only did my calculation of percentages (or racial profiling, if you will) turn out correct, that last paragraph made for another interesting calculation of odds: I wonder if he's an illegal alien?
