On Friday, March 2, news broke that Nick Dawkins had resigned as principal of Manual High School, and the initial letter describing the reasons behind his decision was exceedingly polite, albeit with an edge of sadness. But the following day, in an essay entitled "Why I Left Denver Public Schools," Dawkins was much more blunt, revealing that a controversy over reports of a confederate flag at a Manual-Weld Central High School football game last September was among the factors that led to his departure. "For weeks as this situation played out I was targeted by those that called me a nigger and vowed to bring harm to me," Dawkins wrote.
This morning, December 15, a hearing in Jefferson County court was scheduled to determine if Bruco Strong Eagle Eastwood, who was found not guilty by reason of insanity for shooting and injuring two Deer Creek Middle School students seven years ago, would be allowed to leave the grounds of the Colorado Mental Health Institute in Pueblo, his current residence, without supervision. But at the last minute, the session was canceled, and there's no indication when or if it will be rescheduled.
The Rocky Mountain High Intensity Drug Trafficking Area, a federally funded law-enforcement group with an admitted anti-marijuana bias, has published the fifth volume in a series of reports about the impact of cannabis legalization on Colorado. Predictably, the new analysis, accessible below, is crammed with shocking statistics, and while many of the claims, including ones pertaining to an alleged spike in youth marijuana use in the state, aren't supported by other, more reliable studies, expect them to be touted by the roll-back-the-pot-legalization-clock crowd anyway.

Sub.mission celebrates its annual Bass Invasion show at the Black Box.
Two months ago, family members of Marvin Booker, who died in Denver's main jail during a July 2010 excessive-force incident that led to a $6 million settlement, appeared at a press conference to demand that Denver District Attorney Beth McCann begin a new investigation into the tragic incident. Now, McCann is referring what she calls a "limited aspect" of the case to the Denver Grand Jury. And while McCann's office isn't divulging any specifics, the panel will almost certainly look into reports of a missing Taser that Booker's loved ones see as evidence of a potential criminal coverup.
A pot-friendly costume party scheduled to take place at a Denver bar last weekend was abruptly canceled after organizers say the Colorado Liquor Enforcement Division threatened the status of the bar's liquor license.

Yesterday, November 2, as we reported, 47-year-old Scott Ostrem was arrested for allegedly killing three people at a Thornton Walmart the previous evening. In the hours since then, we've learned much more about Ostrem's victims, Victor Vasquez, Pam Marques and Carlos Moreno, and the man who apparently took their lives at random. Far from being a terrorist, Ostrem appears to be another angry, frustrated white man taking out his failings on innocent people.

As predicted in our previous coverage, on view below, the Denver City Council approved a smoking and vaping ban on the 16th Street Malls at its October 30 meeting. The vote wasn't exactly a squeaker, with members favoring the measure by a 9-0 margin thanks largely to an amendment offered by Councilman Paul Kashmann that followed the outlines of policies shared with us by his colleague, Albus Brooks, who sponsored the original bill.
