10 Notorious Female Outlaws From the Wild West
Sckylar Gibby-Brown
Sckylar is a graduate from Arizona State University where she studied English literature, creative writing, film, and history.
The Wild West was a place of lawlessness and marked a unique and fascinating period in American history. Many are familiar with the tales of Billy the Kid, Jesse James, and other male outlaws whose stories shaped the rugged frontier of the Old West.
What many don't know is that there were female outlaws who were just as infamous as their male counterparts. Here you'll discover the tales of the resourceful female criminals who shot down the traditional notions of women's roles as homemakers and child-rearers and chose instead to lead lives of debauchery and scandal.
10 Famous Female Outlaws of the Wild West
Pearl Hart
Laura Bullion, a.k.a. the Rose of the Wild Bunch
Belle Siddons, a.k.a. Madam Vestal
Rose Dunn, a.k.a. Rose of the Cimarron
Sarah Jane Newman, a.k.a. Sally Scull
Mary Katherine Haroney, a.k.a. Big Nose Kate
Belle Starr
Etta Place
Eleanor Dumont, a.k.a. Madame Mustache
Pearl Hart was the first woman to successfully rob a stagecoach in the Wild West.
1. Pearl Hart
1871 – after 1928
Born in Lindsay, Canada, in 1871, Hart attended an exclusive school. However, she enjoyed adventuring more than school work. At age 17, Pearl eloped to Chicago with a gambler, Frederick Hart. But Frederick was abusive and Hart left him at age 22.
She then made her way to Arizona where she met a miner named Joe Boot. When Boot couldn't make enough from his mining job to support the pair, they turned to robbery. They developed a routine where Hart would lure a man into her room, and, once through the door, Boot would whack the unsuspecting gentleman on the head and rob him. However, this play was risky and the couple was almost caught on several occasions.
In 1899, Hart developed a plan to rob a stagecoach—more money, less risk. Hart cut her hair and dressed as a man. Boot held up the driver while Hart took over $400 from the passengers. After giving a little back to ensure the victims had enough money for food and a hotel, Hart and Boot rode gallantly away into the sunset, only to get lost in the desert.
After several days of wandering they desperately needed sleep, but when they woke, the sheriff and his posse had found them. They were caught a mere three miles from the scene of the crime.
It was while she was being tried for her crimes that Hart is famous for saying this feminist phrase: "I shall not consent to be tried under a law in which my sex had no voice in making." Unfortunately, the judge didn't care and Hart was tried and convicted anyway.
Being the second woman to rob a stagecoach and the first one not to die while doing so, Hart instantly became the most famous woman in Arizona. Journalists came from all over to interview and photograph Hart with her gun.
She received a pardon after 18 months. The official reason was that the penitentiary did not have accommodations for women, although rumor had it that Hart was pregnant and the judge didn't want to have to explain how that had happened during her incarceration.
After being released from prison, Hart had a brief stint in Buffalo Bill's Wild West Show but lived the rest of her life under the radar of the law.
Featured in an episode of the television show Tales of Wells Fargo in 1960.
Musical Legend of Pearl Hart is based on her life.
I shall not consent to be tried under a law in which my sex had no voice in making.
— Pearl Hart
Laura Bullion occasionally dressed as a man and participated in robberies with the Wild Bunch gang.
2. Laura Bullion, a.k.a. the Rose of the Wild Bunch
October 1876 – December 2, 1961
Bullion was born into a life of crime. Her father, a Native American, was a bank robber, and Bullion, after spending her teenage years as a prostitute, joined the Wild Bunch gang and became known as the "Rose of the Wild Bunch."
Bullion sold stolen goods and made connections that provided the bunch with a steady supply of horses. She was romantically involved with several members of the gang, on and off. On certain occasions, she dressed like a man and joined the rest of the gang in train robberies.
In 1901, she was arrested in St. Louis with $8,500 worth of stolen banknotes in her possession. When she was released from prison after three-and-a-half years, Bullion retired from her life of crime and became an interior designer in Memphis, Tennessee.
Bullion died of heart disease in 1961. Her gravestone is embossed with a rose and thorny vines and reads "The Thorny Rose." Bullion was the last surviving member of The Wild Bunch.

3. Belle Siddons, a.k.a. Madam Vestal
Birth and death dates unknown
Born and raised on a wealthy Southern plantation to a politically powerful St. Louis family, Belle Siddons was the definition of a Southern belle. During the Civil War, she employed her good looks and became a Confederate spy at 25. She was caught and imprisoned but pardoned after four months.
She later married a gambling man, Newt Hallett, who taught her to play cards. Finding that she was naturally good at the game, Belle became famous as a dealer of the game 21.
When her husband died of yellow fever and Siddons was forced to support herself, she followed the Gold Rush and set up shop in South Dakota. As the owner of her own dance hall, bar, and gambling establishment, Siddons began going by the nickname "Madame Vestal."
It was in her establishment that she met and fell in love with stagecoach robber Archie McLaughlin. Once again, Siddons used her skills and beauty to become a spy and retract information from stagecoach drivers, which she then passed on to her lover.
Unfortunately, Siddons' overconfidence got the best of her and one night she let slip that there was going to be a robbery. McLaughlin was caught, tried, and hung.
Siddons became a wandering drunk, the last record of whom was an arrest in San Francisco in 1881.
The girl in the photograph is not in fact Rose Dunn but a prisoner who posed to tell a story about her.
4. Rose Dunn, a.k.a. Rose of the Cimarron
September 5, 1878 – June 11, 1955
Dunn was born in Oklahoma in 1879 and educated at a convent in Wichita, Kansas. She was known for her good looks and charm. Her two older brothers became outlaws when she was young and taught her how to shoot and ride.
Dunn became an outlaw when she fell in love with George "Bittercreek" Newcomb, a member of the Wild Bunch gang led by Bill Doolin. The Wild Bunch, also known as the Oklahombres, were known for robbing banks and holding up trains. All of its members eventually met a bloody end. Dunn participated in the gang by providing them with ammunition and supplies when members could not go to town.
Dunn once saved Newcomb when he was wounded by U.S. marshals. Legend says she dodged open fire and held off the marshals with her own rifle until he could get to safety.
Dunn's brothers, who had abandoned their careers as outlaws in favor of becoming bounty hunters, killed Newcomb for what some say was a $5,000 bounty for each brother. Dunn was later accused of being involved in Newcomb's death by telling her brothers his location but Dunn and her brothers maintained her innocence.
She was never prosecuted for her involvement with the gang, and eventually settled down with a local politician.
Several of Sally Scull's husbands died under mysterious circumstances.
5. Sarah Jane Newman, a.k.a. Sally Scull
Sarah Jane Newman was born tough. Born in 1817 to one of the first families to settle in Austin, Texas Territory, Newman, also known as Sally Scull or Skull, grew up having to defend her family's land from constant attack. Legend says her mother, Rachel Newman, once cut off the toes of a Comanche Indian who was trying to get through their front door.
Newman married Jesse Robinson at age 16 and they had two children together. After 10 years of marriage, Robinson filed for divorce and Newman was married to her namesake husband—George Scull—less than two weeks later. He died mysteriously in 1849.
Her next husband, John Doyle, also died under mysterious circumstances after a short marriage.
Inheriting her mother's spirit, Scull became notorious as a male-dressing, gun-slinging, horse-trading woman. Twice a year she would make the treacherous trip alone to Mexico and come back with horses that were likely stolen, but no proof could be found. She's rumored to have killed two of her five husbands.
Woman rancher, horse trader, champion "cusser." Ranched Northwest of here ... Loved dancing. Yet during the war, did extremely hazardous "man's work."
— Excerpt from Sally Scull's historic marker in Texas
Mary Katherine Haroney, a.k.a. Big Nose Kate, was romantically involved with Doc Holliday, a well-known gunfighter in the Old West.
6. Mary Katherine Haroney, a.k.a. Big Nose Kate
November 9, 1849 – November 2, 1940
Mary Katherine Haroney was born into a wealthy Hungarian family, which immigrated to New York City in 1860 and settled in Davenport, Iowa. Kate's parents died several years later when she was fourteen, and she was placed in the foster care system.
Kate ran away from her caregiver at age 16 and claims to have married a dentist she met on a steamboat en route to St. Louis, who she says died of yellow fever. When her husband died, Kate went to a convent for a short period of time before working as a prostitute in St. Louis.
She later moved to Fort Griffin, Texas, and met Doc Holliday, a well-known gunfighter who was also a dentist. By that time, she had already picked up the nickname "Big Nose Kate."
Kate introduced Holliday to Wyatt Earp, one of the Wild West's most famous professional gamblers and lawmen. She spent the next several years acting as Holliday's sidekick as she followed him across the country. Kate and Holliday married and moved around while Holliday made money gambling, working as a dentist, and operating saloons, while Kate worked as a prostitute.
Holliday then joined Earp in the well-off little town of Tombstone, Arizona Territory. Kate visited him often, including during the days leading up to the Gunfight at the O.K. Corral, one of the Wild West's most talked-about and portrayed shootouts.
Portrayed by Isabella Rossellini in Wyatt Earp (1994)
Portrayed by Faye Dunaway in Doc (1971)
The Gunfight at the O.K. Corral
Recognized as the most famous shootout of the Wild West, the Gunfight at the O.K. Corral took place at 3 p.m. on October 26, 1881, in Tombstone, Arizona Territory.
Five outlaws and four lawmen were involved, including Doc Holliday. Three of the outlaws were killed and two ran away when the fight began. The fight has been featured in many Old Western novels and films.
Belle Starr married a Cherokee man and made a living bootlegging and selling stolen horses.
7. Belle Starr
February 5, 1848 – February 3, 1889
Born in 1848 to a prosperous family in Missouri, Myra Maybelle Shirley should have become a proper young lady, married a rich man, and never done anything interesting in her life. But, as luck would have it, Starr preferred to be outdoors learning to shoot a gun with her older brother, Bud, than stay inside the all-girls school she attended.
Fate changed the stars for Starr when her family moved to Scyene, Texas, in 1864. It was here that she would meet members of Jesse James' crew, the Missouri-based James–Younger Gang. The gang is well known in Old Western history for their robberies of banks, trains, and stagecoaches in at least ten different states. Starr knew them from her childhood in Missouri.
In 1866, Starr married a horse thief named Jim Reed, who, in 1869, murdered a man who was said to have killed his brother. After the murder, the couple fled to California together. Jim was shot to death in 1874.
Left as a widow, Belle joined the Starr clan and married a Cherokee man—Samuel Starr—giving her the name that would forever be associated with the legend of her life. It was then that she submerged herself in outlawry.
She became the mastermind behind the gang. Starr was arrested several times, but it seemed she was just as good at eluding sheriffs as she was at stealing horses—they never had enough evidence to put her away and she was often able to bribe them with earnings from her lucrative horse-thieving and bootlegging enterprises.
Sam Starr died in 1886, after which Belle was said to have been involved with a slew of interesting men. She then married Jim July Starr, her deceased husband's younger relative, in order to keep her land on Indian territory.
In 1889, Starr was shot several times with a shotgun while riding home from a neighbor's house in Oklahoma. Her murderer is still unknown.
Belle Starr was the subject of several films and television episodes including:
Belle Starr (1941)
The Belle Starr Story (1968)
The Long Riders (1980)
Here Etta Place is pictured with the Sundance Kid. Her true story and identity remain a mystery.
8. Etta Place
1877-1879 – unknown
Most well known as Butch Cassidy's girlfriend and, later, the wife of Harry Longabaugh (the Sundance Kid), Etta Place is shrouded in mystery. She is said to have been from Texas.
Historians know that she was a sweetheart to the Wild Bunch Gang, that she assisted Cassidy and Longabaugh in certain heists and fled with them to Argentina, but her exact identity and life after Longabaugh's death are mostly unknown.
Theories have suggested that she and Ann Bassett, one of the famous, cattle-rustling Bassett sisters, were one and the same because of similar looks and their ties to the Wild Bunch gang. Photographic evidence analyzed by historians in recent years have suggested this may be the case.
Etta Place was portrayed as a schoolteacher and played by Katharine Ross in the 1969 film Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid.
Butch Cassidy's Wild Bunch
This gang borrowed their name from the original Wild Bunch, also known as the Doolin–Dalton Gang. Butch Cassidy's Wild Bunch was known as the most successful train-robbing gang in history. They were popularized by the 1969 film Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid.
Eleanor Dumont earned her nickname when she developed a mustache in her later years.
9. Eleanor Dumont, a.k.a. Madame Mustache
1829-1834 – 1879
Perhaps born in New Orleans to Creole parents around 1829, Dumont's early life is not well known. She was known for her card-dealing skills as a Gold-Rush-era gambler.
She moved around frequently and eventually appeared in Nevada City, California, opened up a gambling house, and immediately enticed men with her good looks and even better manners.
Dumont fell in love with con man Jack McKnight, who stole her money and sold her ranch. In retaliation, Dumont tracked McKnight down and shot him dead. After that, she returned to gambling.
As she aged, Dumont became plump and a thick line of hair began to grow on her upper lip, earning her the nickname "Madame Mustache." After that, Dumont's fortunes continued to dwindle. She turned to prostitution and became the madame of a brothel in her later years.
In 1879, she lost $300 of borrowed money in one night of gambling. She was found dead the next morning of an apparent suicide via morphine overdose.
"She had the reputation of being honest in her dealings and always paying her debts. Upon this she prided herself, and woe unto anyone who claimed she did not play fair. . . . It is said that of the hundreds of funerals held in the mining camp, that of 'Madame Moustache' was the largest.
The gamblers of the place buried her with all honors, and carriages were brought from Carson City, a distance of 120 miles, especially to be used in the funeral cortege."
— George A. Montrose, former editor of the Bridgeport Chronicle-Union
Bonnie Parker and Clyde Barrow were one of the most infamous criminal couples of the 20th century.
10. Bonnie Parker
October 1, 1910 – May 23, 1934
Born in 1910 in Rowena, Texas, Parker was a bright student with aspirations to become an actress.
But everything changed when 19-year-old Bonnie met 20-year-old ex-con, Clyde Barrow, in 1930. The two fell immediately in love and Bonnie joined Clyde's gang to become a full-time thief and murderer.
Bonnie and Clyde embarked on a two-year crime spree that crossed five states and killed 13 civilians.
In 1933, a warrant was issued for Bonnie and Clyde's arrest. They died in an ambush led by Texas Ranger Frank Hamer in 1934.
Perhaps the most popular retelling of the tale of Bonnie and Clyde was the 1967 film Bonnie and Clyde, starring Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway.
Someday they'll go down together
they'll bury them side by side.
To few it'll be grief,
to the law a relief
but it's death for Bonnie and Clyde.

My wife is an accomplished family history researcher and a
young neighbor asked her to help him learn more about his family, especially in regards to a family secret. It turns out the secret was his great grandparents were gunned down by Bonnie and Clyde and supposedly with a Colt 380 pistol. Ironically, I inherited a 1926 Colt 380 pistol from my wife's father.
Small world, isn't it?

Got to tell you that this hub was fantastic. A work of literary art and I mean it.
My favorite, although you didn't ask for it, lady outlaw was Bonnie Parker--if only the real Parker looked like Faye Dunaway. Sigh.
Thanks for such a deep, interesting hub.
Glad to have met you and now following you.

Getting a late(r) start this morning because it's a national holiday today in Belgium! Which gave me license to keep Chris up with me as late as I could, insomnia is no picnic alone. Although he might not agree again after letting me pick the movies. Tomorrow I'm hoping to embark on a short train trip to a new town in-country since the hubs has today and tomorrow off of work. We're thinking it was designed this way (and is a very good idea) considering last night was Halloween and maybe no one comes in to work, (aware and alertly), the next day anyway? Any Belgians know the truth? I'm too lazy to Google it at the moment.
Hmmm...America? Wanna jump on that one? Sounds like a good idea to me.
Last weekend was one without a trip. We realized we're probably never going to do that again. It's not that we don't like our own little town but that's just it, it's little, it's our own town, and everything closes at 6pm Saturday for the entire weekend (except for the bars, don't worry visitors)...boooooring.
Sunday we walked to Heverlee for their morning market and then wandered home the super long way to walk past the closest castle we have.
Much to Chris's dismay, I take a lot of pictures of him. He's a good sport, usually.
This little chapel is nestled into the hill of KU Leuven's campus and completely walled in by trees. What a beautiful place to be still and know.
On the way back to Leuven we could hear a little shouts and lots of laughing coming from up on a hill. And then I spotted it. One of the coolest kid's treehouses I've seen. How cool!
I'm still not taking the sun for granted. It was such a perfect day for a walk that even with that backpack filled up with bread, eggs, butter, sugar and more, we (okay, Chris) toughed it out and walked slowly home in the sunshine. I'm soaking up every second I can get.
I'm so jealous of your adventures...I have serious wanderlust. These pictures are great!
Where'd you get that picture of me at the end? When was I in Europe? Why don't I remember this?

We report on rheometry measurements to characterize the critical behavior in two model shear thickening suspensions: cornstarch in water and glass spheres in oil. The slope of the shear thickening part of the viscosity curve is found to increase dramatically with packing fraction and diverge at a critical packing fraction ?c. The magnitude of the viscosity and the yield stress are also found to have scalings that diverge at ?c. We observe shear thickening as long as the yield stress is less than the stress at the viscosity maximum. Above this point the suspensions transition to purely shear thinning. Based on these data we present a dynamic jamming phase diagram for suspensions and show that a limiting case of shear thickening corresponds to a jammed state.


Websites are not publications. They are services. They need maintenance to go on functioning. In fact, they often need maintenance in order to avoid becoming a security liability.
Most fields would never expect a website to remain online for twenty years without funding. DH is not most fields. So while 'maintainability' is discussed in web development circles, maintaining complex interactive sites for decades with little or no budget is a DH corner case.
Once, digital humanists worried about their sites being rendered obsolete by browser incompatibility or outdated standards. Now, the main threat to website longevity is security. A compromised website will be taken offline as soon as it is detected. If there is no money to fix it, it will never be restored. It could already have leaked commercially or academically sensitive data, perhaps even personal data from the general public with legal ramifications for the hosting institution.
This threat can be heavily mitigated. The methods to do so are partly technical, but they also involve choices about the scope of digital outputs and the planned lifecycle of a DH project. Should off-the-peg or bespoke technology be favoured? Should a site be hosted by an HE institution or commercially? Crucially, what happens when the project ends? To what extent should the full web offering be maintained? What should replace it? In short, what is the project's web exit strategy?
This paper is the product of auditing over 80 DH websites, some nearly twenty years old. What lessons can be learned from this process? Which sites have aged well, and which poorly? What technical and methodological decisions taken in the '90s or early '00s paid off for PIs and developers, and which have proved burdensome? The paper will describe a broad range of strategies for maximising website maintainability for the super long term with minimal or zero ongoing budget. Some conclusions are technical, some more broadly strategic. It is relevant to all developers and PIs who plan to create a website as part of a digital humanities project.

MLB's best solution for desert baseball: Chase Field
tl;dr: Chase Field was the first hot weather MLB stadium to get it right, and the Diamondbacks wouldn't exist without it...
Arizona is a baseball mecca.
15 of the 30 Major League Baseball teams send all their major league and minor league players to Arizona for seven weeks of spring training every year. The scale of the spring training facilities is impressive, as I realized years ago on a visit to Camelback Ranch. The major league roster of 25 players is merely but the top of a much larger organizational roster of well over one hundred players all looking to get a shot at the big leagues.
To call these facilities "spring training camps" is a misnomer: the training facilities, fields, and main stadiums are in use year round by the major league clubs, for instruction, rookie league ball, and injury rehabilitation. In fact one way to view major league baseball is that 15 of the clubs have a "home base" in Arizona: in April each club sends the best 25 players to the major league city, and the other players are sent to other minor league cities, with some remaining in Arizona. But they all return to home base every February.
Many major league stars played their college ball at ASU's Packard Stadium
At the college level Arizona State University is a perennial NCAA Division 1 baseball powerhouse. I didn't fully appreciate the number of stars ASU has sent to the major until I visited ASU's baseball stadium and saw a display of their most famous alumni. All-time MLB home run king Barry Bonds attended ASU, as did "Mr. October" Reggie Jackson and Red Sox star second baseman Dustin Pedroia. Baseball is also very competitive at the high school level in Arizona. The parents of retired White Sox star first baseman Paul Konerko knew this: when teenage Paul demonstrated proficiency at baseball, the family moved from Rhode Island to Scottsdale, Arizona so that Paul could play baseball year round and compete at a higher level.
All of this baseball is played outside, in the Valley of the Sun, in temperatures that can often exceed 100 degrees Fahrenheit in the summer. Yet it was not until 1998 that Phoenix gained its first MLB franchise, the Arizona Diamondbacks, even though Phoenix was a major population center with a strong appreciation for baseball. In order to draw the several million fans necessary to support a major league franchise each year, there was one more necessary ingredient: an air-conditioned stadium. Without Chase Field, the Arizona Diamondbacks wouldn't exist.
On every MLB fan's bucket list: the Chase Field pool
The most impressive aspects of Chase Field to me, as an engineer, are the air conditioning system combined with the retractable roof, which permits a natural grass playing surface. Chase Field is not the first air conditioned Major League baseball stadium. The Houston Astrodome, sometimes called the Eighth Wonder of the World, was air conditioned, but it had a fixed roof and artificial turf, as does Tropicana Field in St. Petersburg, Florida. The Texas Rangers in the Dallas area, where the temperatures often sore into the 90s and 100s in the summer, built Globe Life Park without a roof. Realizing their mistake, they are replacing it after only 25 years with a new stadium. Chase Field was the first hot weather MLB stadium to combine air conditioning, a retractable roof, and natural grass; Minute Maid Park in Houston and Marlins Park in Miami followed suit.
On the night I attended my first game at Chase Field, the roof and the air conditioning weren't actually needed. Even though it was mid-June, clouds and rain had kept the high temperature that afternoon from reaching much above 80 degrees. I was hoping that the unseasonably low temperatures would encourage the stadium operators to open the roof for the night game; certainly I've attended outdoor games in hotter temperatures in Chicago. But whether because of a fear of lingering precipitation in the area, or a desire not to let in any warmer air at all, the roof remained closed.
Chase Field's outfield walls are a bit more angular than they need to be
It was ever so slightly cooler once we passed through the outer doors into the enclosed air conditioned space. As we walked on the concourse in center field, I could hear the air conditioning system working away. It's a sound to which Arizonans become accustomed. The stadium itself was a fine place to watch a ballgame. I give a thumbs up to the most famous features of the stadium, the pool and hot tub (complete with lifeguards) in right centerfield; I give a thumbs down to the weird angles in the outfield fence by the bullpens in the outfield corners, although they do lead to more triples.
Because of the need to completely enclose the space in order for air conditioning to work, Chase Field will never be my favorite retractable roof MLB stadium. Safeco Field in Seattle holds that title, because its roof can be retracted completely away from the field and the stadium seating areas. Even when Safeco's roof is closed there is still airflow from outside the stadium beyond the left field bleachers. Chase Field, however, was an innovative solution to the challenges of building a home for a major league baseball club in a hot weather climate, and deserves kudos for being the first hot weather MLB stadium to get it right.
p.s. On October 12, 2018 the Diamondbacks announced that they will be installing in Chase Field an advanced baseball-specific artificial turf field in time for the 2019 season. The move will save large amounts of water and energy, as the roof won't need to be opened during the day to allow the grass to grow, which lets in hot air that then has to be cooled before a game. It makes sense, although I'm crossing my fingers that the artificial turf performs true to the game of baseball.

But For Video: When The Cop Didn't Rape
One of the primary arguments in favor of police having cameras on their person and patrol cars was that it would not only prove misconduct when it occurred, but would prove innocence when it didn't. And to some extent, it's worked out that way, as Ashe Schow notes.
Marley Barberian, 23, was accused of stealing from a Target store in Palm Beach County when she was arrested earlier this year. While in jail, she claimed a Sheriff's Office deputy had groped her at the store where she was arrested and raped her on the side of the road while on the way to the jail.
"She said he pulled her pants down and raped her on the side of the road after he pulled over to complete some paperwork he got from the police department, the arrest report notes," CBS 12 reported. "She then told authorities the deputy who raped her drove her and dropped her off at the jail. She also accused the deputy of groping her earlier in a patdown during her arrest at the Target."
Barberian claimed the deputy who did these things to her was "a big white male, bald or with little hair, and green eyes," according to CBS 12. She said he put his gun in her mouth "because that probably turned him on."
Many people would be naturally inclined to believe Barberian's claims, whether because they subscribe to "believe the victim" or they hate cops and believe any allegation against them. Indeed, it's an understandable assumption, given how video has proved many of the complaints about police to be true, but previously unprovable. But as much as Barberian's accusation was possible, that doesn't mean it was factual.
Except, a female officer conducted the pat down of Barberian at Target, according to another male deputy. This male deputy also said the accused officer only drove her to Greenacres police station and not to the Palm Beach County Jail, which is when the attack was alleged to have occurred. It was a female deputy who took her from the police station to the county jail.
"Investigators also looked at the in-car video and learned that there were no stops from the time the accused deputy drove Barberian from the Target to the Greenacres Police Department," CBS 12 reported. "Other surveillance video showed a female deputy escorting her into the jail and booking her there, the arrest report says."
Sometimes, the cop didn't do it. Sometimes, the cop didn't do anything wrong. Sometimes, the accuser is lying. This time is that sometime.
Does writing this post, noting an instance where a cop didn't rape, a defendant lied, make me a traitor to the cause? After all, as a criminal defense lawyer, should I not put every effort into pushing my agenda, serving my team, since there are certainly more than enough stories to write about where the cop did wrong, where the cop was the liar, where the defendant was the victim.
Why side with enemy? Why give the cops comfort when they have lied so often to cover up their harm and offenses?
Facts don't have friends or enemies.* They just are, and sometimes they will serve to support a view and sometimes they won't. To the extent there is integrity in the complaints about police misconduct, they rely on the willingness to be brutally honest about both the good and bad, right and wrong. The cop-hater is no better, no more right, than the badge-licker; both are simplistic, biased and wrong. If you don't want to be as wrong as your enemy, be more honest, more factual, and acknowledge that cops aren't all evil creatures bent on doing harm.
When a cop does wrong, he deserves to be held accountable, and it's factually correct to argue that it fails to happen too frequently. But that doesn't mean all accusations against cops are true, or that cops should be presumed guilty because they get away with it all too often. If your excuse for only attacking police is that they engage in misconduct far more often than they are the victims of false accusations, then you're no better than they are by refusing to acknowledge facts. If you want to be better than the worst cop, then don't hide behind misconduct as an excuse to ignore when the cop turns out to be the victim of a false accusation.
The problem with believing your side to be righteous is that you have to actually be righteous, not merely not as bad as the people you're against. Not every accusation of rape is true. Not every accusation against a cop is true. If you can't admit that, or you refuse to acknowledge it, then you're unworthy of pointing the finger. You may not be as dishonest as others, but you're still dishonest. Be better than that. And appreciate video, for without it, a false accusation might have prevailed.
*Yes, I know that Ben Shapiro's line is "facts don't care about feelings." He's entitled to his mantra. It has nothing to do with me.

I got this sudden urge to buy a Fender Stratocaster.
My 'urge' is to find a time machine and go back to the early 90's when i pawned a beautiful '77 tobacco sunburst Strat for rent. Priorities suck.
(PS; Just my opinion, but if you need to fulfill that urge find a independent builder to build you a clone. Fender's got enough money.)
I can't play guitar, but it looked so fine.

I was federal agent for 25 years, and in reading your blog fairly regularly I never got the impression that you are anti-law enforcement. I just wish that more of my (now former) colleagues placed the facts of these cases above siding with the "team" as you put it. How they can fail to see that blatant police killings of unarmed and often defenseless suspects makes us all look bad is beyond me. Expecting professionalism from professional colleagues should be a no-brainer, especially when it's a matter of life and death.
SHG Post author November 11, 2018 at 4:24 pm
LEOs can get kinda sensitive about how "nobody gets us but us," and anything that doesn't spin their way is anti-cop. When I write about misconduct, I usually get a few FOP shills showing up to argue the point and doing so poorly. It's unavailing, just as it's unhelpful for people who find a reason to blame the cop no matter what.

Facts don't have friends or enemies.* They just are, and sometimes they will serve to support a view and sometimes they won't.
John Adams (1735 – 1826), in defense of British soldiers in the Boston Massacre Trials¹, 1770:
Facts are stubborn things; and whatever may be our wishes, our inclinations, or the dictates of our passion, they cannot alter the state of facts and evidence.
Facts are stubborn things, like 'em or not.
Argue innocence, argue a plot.
Whatever you say,
Facts don't go away.
So you argue the facts that you've got!

Based on the stories I see in the media every day, I am pretty sure facts have numerous enemies.

Surgery for Hyperthyroidism - Are You a Candidate for a Thyroidectomy?
Are You a Candidate for a Thyroidectomy?
Surgery is a treatment option for hyperthyroidism, but it's not as commonly used as antithyroid medications or radioactive iodine. Thyroid surgery is known as a thyroidectomy and involves the partial or total removal of the thyroid gland.
For some types of hyperthyroidism, such as from a solitary toxic adenoma, surgery entails partial removal of the half of your thyroid gland (known as a lobectomy) with the adenoma. For nearly all other types of hyperthyroidism, including Graves' disease, the surgery is a nearly total thyroidectomy.
A thyroidectomy takes several hours to perform and is generally a surgery with a very short recovery time and little, if any, discomfort. A small incision is made in the front of your neck, and it is performed under general anesthetic.
You will be able to function properly (eat, talk, and walk) immediately after surgery. You will likely need to stay in the hospital overnight, but some surgeons release patients with partial thyroidectomies a few hours after the operation.
A total thyroidectomy is the only option that gives an immediate cure of hyperthyroidism. Although a thyroidectomy is not the most commonly used method to treat hyperthyroidism, there are some cases when it is the most appropriate option.
Some people are allergic to antithyroid medications, and a small percentage of people are resistant to radioactive iodine. But even if you can physically tolerate radioactive iodine or medications, you may refuse the treatment if you're not comfortable with it. Your preferences matter in what treatment route you take.
Another case where surgery is a viable option is if the hyperthyroidism was caused by a hot nodule. A hot nodule (also known as a toxic nodule) refers to a nodule that produces excess thyroid hormone because it doesn't obey the pituitary's signals to stop producing thyroid hormone. This can result in hyperthyroidism. Depending on the location of the nodule, the surgeon can remove the lobe that contains the hot nodule. This leaves part of your thyroid intact, which will usually be enough to supply your body with healthy amounts of hormones.
A total thyroidectomy is also advisable when hyperthyroidism occurs in the setting where the thyroid gland is very large, has nodules that may be concerning for a cancer, or when significant eye changes (ophthalmopathy) exist with Graves' disease.
In many cases—especially if you have severe hyperthyroidism—you will need to manage your condition before surgery. If you don't, you may risk certain heart problems and a dangerous release of thyroid hormone into the bloodstream.
To control your hyperthyroidism before surgery, your doctor may prescribe antithyroid medications or beta blockers. Another option is to use elemental (non-radioactive) iodine the week before surgery. Elemental iodine is a very temporary solution to hyperthyroidism. You shouldn't begin taking it until one week before surgery; if you start earlier, your hyperthyroidism could return right before your surgery—and it could actually be worse than before.
As with any surgical operation, a thyroidectomy poses certain risks and complications that you should understand before pursuing this treatment. When performed by experienced surgeons, these risks are very rare (<2%) and make the rate of adverse side effects from surgery similar to adverse side effects from medications and radioactive iodine. You should consult with your physicians about finding an experienced thyroid surgeon.
There is a very small risk of damaging the structures around the thyroid gland. One such structure is the voice box nerve (known as the recurrent laryngeal nerve). If that nerve is damaged, your voice may permanently sound hoarse or scratchy.
The parathyroid glands are also located near the thyroid gland, and so they too are at a small risk of injury. The parathyroid glands regulate the body's calcium levels. If they are damaged by the thyroidectomy, then hypoparathyroidism can occur. This may eventually trigger hypocalcemia (a condition of abnormally low levels of blood calcium). Even when parathyroids are working normally after your surgery, your body may be more prone to a temporary period of hypocalcemia that responds well to oral calcium supplements and fully recovers. This occurs because hyperthyroidism can deplete the body of its calcium stores before surgery, and it takes some time to replenish this after surgery.
Infection and bleeding are exceedingly rare complications of thyroid surgery.
Another issue to recognize about thyroidectomy is that it causes hypothyroidism. This more often occurs when the entire thyroid is removed, but it can still happen when only part of the thyroid is removed.
To compensate for the lack of thyroid hormones, you will take thyroid hormone replacement therapy . There are much safer long-term treatments available for hypothyroidism than for hyperthyroidism. Though thyroid hormone replacement therapy is for life, it is safe, effective, and affordable.
Though surgery is not the most common method for treating hyperthyroidism, you may be a good candidate based on the specific cause of your condition and your preferences. Talk to your doctor about the benefits and risks of having a thyroidectomy, and don't be afraid to ask questions—they will help you and your doctor determine the best treatment option for you.

U. Miami Law Prof Daniel Ravicher says threatened with termination after pro-Trump tweets
Ravicher asserts the Dean told him "if I didn't retract my statements and apologize, at minimum my contract would not be renewed, and something could happen even sooner once he consults with central and [General Counsel]…. He also said [if] I were black, nothing I said would be controversial. It's because I'm white and a man that this has become an issue."
Posted by William A. Jacobson Friday, November 13, 2020 at 05:00pm 37 Comments
Daniel Ravicher is a star on the University of Miami Law School faculty. A full time lecturer, he currently is appointed under a 3-year term ending in June 2022.
Ravicher is Director of U. Miami Law's Startup Practicum, which he helped launch:
Ravicher and the StartUp Practicum have received enormous media attention and promotion by the law school.
The law school repeatedly has praised Ravicher's work, pointing out the positive impact he has had on student experience. Ravicher's work with students also received national media attention.
The law school even referred to Ravicher as the 'entrepreneur whisperer':
Ravicher even was featured on the law school podcast about the possible sale of TicTok.
In an all-to-familiar tale of 2020 'cancel culture,' Ravicher found himself the target of students who objected to his pro-Trump and election tweets. We covered the story back on November 8, 2020, quoting reporting by the student-run The Miami Hurricane newspaper:
With the result of the presidential election between President Donald Trump and Democratic Nominee Joe Biden still not final, University of Miami School of Law professor Daniel Ravicher began tweeting his views on Twitter in support of Trump, which included accusing the Democrats of cheating by deliberately stopping votes.
Ravicher also expressed his opinion about cheating in the American election process: "Cheating in politics is as American as apple pie. If you're good enough to get away with it you deserve to win. That's how it always been and how it always will be."
At UM, Ravicher is a lecturer in the law school and is the director of the Startup Practicum, which provides students with the opportunity to provide legal assistance to new business ventures.
On Wednesday, Ravicher also discussed racial minorities and their party alignment….
As these tweets began to spread amongst undergraduate and law students, one Black undergraduate student who was considering remaining at UM for law school said that now it is completely out of the picture.
"Never did I ever imagine such disgusting rhetoric would come from a professor at UM Law," said junior Charis Pitter, who hopes to serve as a lawyer for marginalized communities. "As a UM student, I'm disappointed, angry, but not surprised because the way the UM administration has handled hate speech during this election season shows their true colors. I came here because UM always preached diversity and acceptance, but I no longer feel like I'm at an institution that values me."
Raven Bedford, a junior psychology major who is also Black, said having a professor perpetuating what she alleges as extremist views with racist undertones teaching students sets a dangerous precedent as she said she fears such views could wind up in the classroom.
"He seems extremely racist, radical and dangerous and, at the very least, he follows others on social media who most would consider unhinged and extremist in their views," said Bedford. "This man's tweets have violent and racist undertones. I can't imagine those views don't leak into the classroom when he teaches. As a Black student, I don't feel or welcome on a campus where professors advocate for my dehumanization on Twitter, and I can only imagine how the Black students in his classes feel."
Here are the tweets referenced in the Miami Hurricane story as having set off student anger:
https://twitter.com/danravicher/status/1323844003104804864
On November 6, Ravicher was denounced by the Dean of the law school, Tony Varona, who defended Ravicher's academic freedom to make such statements while also declaring the statements contrary to law school values (sound familiar?)
An important message from me to the #MiamiLaw community… pic.twitter.com/c4tGOmX5ju
— Tony Varona (@TonyVarona) November 7, 2020
In a follow up to the Dean's message, a Vice Dean offered StartUp Law students the option of taking the course pass/fail because of the tweets, for those students who were "uncomfortable" and concerned with impartial grading. Ravicher strongly objected to such insinuations:
Also, at some point I'd appreciate understanding the process for how a decision is made that a professor has said
something that calls into question the integrity of their grading. I assume it's a subjective decision by
administrators, all of whom are liberals/Democrats. If a Republican, Muslim, or Catholic student is offended by
things their professors say, and they report it, can they too be offered the pass/fail option, or does it have to be a
certain number of students? Or is it only if black students complain about racism that this is a potential resolution?
I've alleged that subjective standards are arbitrarily applied to conservatives, but I'd love to be disproven. Is there
any history of this practice being implemented against any other professor? …
Over 250 students have signed a Change.org Petition started by the U. Miami Law GOP student group supporting Ravicher:
As law students, we are taught about the Constitution and freedom of speech. Evidently, some speech is freer than others, as is perhaps the view held by some students at the University of Miami School of Law. Law students are reporting esteemed Professor Dan Ravicher to the law school administration, strictly on the basis of a political disagreement. Nobody's political views should be used against them in a job, especially not an academic job. Diversity of thought is critical in an educational institution, which is said to be a melting pot of ideas. We must ensure that the University of Miami School of Law does not take action against Professor Ravicher strictly on the basis of his political views. Professor Ravicher is a voice for students on the law school campus who often feel voiceless. He is not only a well-respected attorney, but also a man of great character. This petition signifies support for both Professor Ravicher at Miami Law and diversity of thought in academia.
In another all-too-familiar move, numerous fellow faculty members issued a group denunciation of Ravicher in the student newspaper (with a separate Google doc gathering more signatures), defending their own right to criticize him, yet ignoring the chilling effect a collective pile-on has. The letter reads in part:
These public social media posts demonstrate, at the very least, an egregious lack of professional judgment. While Ravicher's unprofessional behavior may be defended as a matter of academic freedom or free speech, academic and free speech norms do not insulate lawyers from critique. To the contrary, the principles of academic freedom and free speech compel us to speak out against Ravicher's promotion of disinformation, invocation of violence, and racially derogatory commentary. We join the students, alumni, and practicing attorneys voicing concern that these statements potentially reflect deeper failings.
As of this writing, the signatories on the Google Doc are:
Anthony Alfieri, Professor of Law
Caroline Bettinger-Lopez, Professor of Law and Director, Human Rights Clinic
Michael Chiorazzi, Associate Dean for Information Resources, Librarian Professor, Dean's Distinguished Director
Caroline Mala Corbin, Professor of Law & Dean's Distinguished Scholar
Andrew B Dawson, Professor of Law & Judge A. Jay Cristol Chair in Bankruptcy Law
Andrew Elmore, Associate Professor of Law
Mary Anne Franks, Professor of Law & Dean's Distinguished Scholar
Frances R. Hill, Professor of Law & Dean's Distinguished Scholar for the Profession
Elizabeth M. Iglesias, Professor of Law
Osamudia James, Professor of Law & Dean's Distinguished Scholar
Tamara Lave, Professor of Law
JoNel Newman, Professor of Law
Jessica Owley, Professor of Law
Kunal Parker, Professor of Law and Dean's Distinguished Scholar

Scott Sundby, Professor of Law & Dean's Distinguished Scholar
Craig J. Trocino, Director, Miami Law Innocence Clinic
Teresa J. Verges, Director, Investor Rights Clinic and Lecturer in Law
Kira E. Willig, Adjunct Professor
I emailed each of them asking for comment, but received no substantive responses. (The only person who responded said she was very busy today, and I should refer questions to the Dean).
Ravicher did not back down to the pressure from students, the administration, and faculty:
Earlier today Ravicher tweeted:
I've been fired because I refuse to censor my speech and apologize, in addition to satisfying other yet to be defined requirements. The only uncertainty is when my last day will be, either the end of my contract or sooner if the school can fabricate a performance related reason.
In an email, Ravicher expanded on that "firing":
The Dean and I spoke on Saturday and he said if I didn't retract my statements and apologize, at minimum my contract would not be renewed, and something could happen even sooner once he consults with central and GC. I told him I would not retract any statement and that I do not apologize for them. He also said [if] I were black, nothing I said would be controversial. It's because I'm white and a man that this has become an issue.
It's not clear that Ravicher will be fired, though that is how he construes the communications. The Dean did not respond to my multiple emails seeking clarification and comment.
But the damage is done. The chilling effect of making an example of a professor with wrongthink and holding him out for scorn and public shaming has been set. Others will now remain silent to avoid that treatment. This case 'passes' the test for being considered cancel culture.
Ravicher indicated on Twitter that he may be on Laura Ingraham tonight. If so, we will add the video.
We will continue to follow this dispute.
Ravicher appeared on the Laura Ingraham Show. *Someone* made a cameo appearance.

I was hoping that Trump, in a second term, would have gone scorched earth on academia. They would get crushed if forced to adopt affordable tuition price levels and financially back their own student loans. Tying federal money to free speech mandates would be key as well.

"Florida's wiretapping law is a "two-party consent" law. Florida makes it a crime to intercept or record a "wire, oral, or electronic communication" in Florida, unless all parties to the communication consent."
Some states only require one party consent. So in this case, i would record, use the recording to produce detailed notes, and then get rid of the recording, forgetting that it ever existed.
Another Voice in reply to JusticeDelivered. | November 15, 2020 at 9:07 am
Does that apply for both outgoing and incoming calls if one of the parties is originating or receiving the call from a state with no such consent laws?
amatuerwrangler | November 13, 2020 at 9:44 pm
It is interesting that the outraged, threatened, marginalized folk did not bother to say just what it was he said that got them so upset. Were his numbers off? Were his assertions wrong? Did they have information that might make his projections wrong?
Is their idea of representing people in issues of law reduced to merely claiming some nebulous butt-hurt? What happened to listening to an argument and then presenting facts to counter what is asserted so that whoever is expected to make a decision has something to base it on? Or did I get misled somewhere back up the line?

Romney's pretty smart, he's just totally removed from anything actual voters understand, think, know, feel, or experience. I've loooong recorded the travesty that is Romney, and one thing he is not is stupid. He's smarmy, phony as hell, progressive, and completely devoid of any morals, ethics, or principles he won't sell, trade, or barter on a dime, on a poll, or on a finger to the wind. But unintelligent? No.
Anonamom | November 14, 2020 at 9:45 am
And for every Daniel Ravicher, there are twenty more afraid to speak. And, because the leftists control academia, the media, and most of the government bureaucracy, the situation is likely to continue. Is there a good chance that Mr. Ravicher will win this particular battle? Yes. But the chilling effect is real, and it means that the new American Stasi are, so far, winning the war.
Oh, and I'd like to slap Laura Ingraham and her idiotic laughter. There is nothing funny about a man potentially losing his livelihood and reputation.
Milhouse | November 14, 2020 at 7:41 pm
The Dean and I spoke […] He also said [if] I were black, nothing I said would be controversial. It's because I'm white and a man that this has become an issue.
I hope he has this recorded, because that would make his firing or non-renewal racial discrimination. Even if they find some other pretext, this is an admission that it's racial discrimination, so a court can force them to keep him despite whatever they find.
Even if he doesn't have it recorded, he can still testify under oath that this is what the dean said, and see whether the dean has the gall to deny it under oath, in which case a jury can decide who's lying.
JusticeDelivered in reply to Milhouse. | November 14, 2020 at 11:09 pm
In this case, recording and admitting to it is not a good idea. Perhaps better to have a witness listen in?
Milhouse in reply to JusticeDelivered. | November 15, 2020 at 1:57 am
In that case he could simply state under oath what the dean told him, and only reveal the existence of the recording if the dean perjures himself by denying it.
JusticeDelivered | November 14, 2020 at 11:17 pm
Ravicher's comments regarding blacks and Latinos are dead right. While I am very much against illegals, the truth is that overall Hispanics are better for America than blacks. Hispanics have a much better work ethic, and outperform blacks overall. Considering Hispanic work ethics, they are not going to be very sympathetic to black culture, and they most certainly will not support Affirmative BS.

Make Exercise Fun with Bowling
You know you need to exercise, but if you're anything like the rest of America you're not doing it enough. According to the CDC, only 49% of adults met the requirement for aerobic physical activity, and even less, a small 20%, met the requirement for both aerobic and muscle-strength. Consequences of not getting enough exercise are numerous – like obesity, heart disease and osteoporosis, just to name a few. Fortunately, bowling is just one of the ways to make exercise a lot more fun!
How Much Exercise Do You Need?
Everyone needs some form of activity every day. The CDC recommends that children do at least an hour of physical activity every day, and adults need two and a half hours per week of aerobic activity plus at least 2 days a week that works all major muscle groups. With school, work and after-school activities, it can be impossible to fit in dinner, let alone exercise.
With bowling, you don't have to be part of that statistic! Many people think of bowling as a fun activity, not a calorie burning activity, but why can't it be both? And more than that, it's an easy way for the whole family to exercise, bond, and have fun together.
Bowling as Exercise
Bowling fits the bill for both aerobic and muscle-strength exercise. The average bowling ball weighs anywhere from 6 to 16 pounds, and the constant picking up and tossing it works the muscles in your arm, back, and shoulder. The constant up and down to take your turn adds up… playing only two games adds up to more than a mile walked! Depending on factors like weight and intensity level, bowling can burn 175 to 300 calories per game. It doesn't take too long either, a game is only about 15 mins per player.
With ramps and bumpers almost anyone can bowl, no matter what age group or disability. Older adults 65 years and older need the same amount of exercise a week as younger adults, and bowling can be a low impact way to fit it in. Even young children can bowl with the help of an adult, ramps, and bumpers.
Start Bowling!
There's no need to wait to start adding bowling in as part of your fitness program. Pin Chasers offers an 8 for 8 program that is a lot more fun than sit ups, and cheaper than the gym. It's just $8 per week for 8 weeks of bowling, plus free extras. It's one exercise program you won't want to skip out on.

When tonal tension becomes the predominant paradigm, it all but guarantees apathy from those witnessing it.
I was planning a column about the city's Trends & Forces 92-page report I read this week. However, after reading a post in a local activist Facebook group, I realized that even those most engaged locally would likely pass over policy commentary on the importance of participating in City Plan lacking in rhetoric.
Then happenstance being what it is, I encountered the New York Times column "When Smug Liberals meet Conservative Trolls" that eloquently illustrates my growing frustration with America's tonal tension and politics-over-policy mentality.
The result: an odoriferous stew of political rhetoric that is nearly irresistible to those on the inside and confusingly abhorrent to those on the outside.
Tonal tensions are escalating at a time when actual policymaking has ground nearly to a halt.
Squabbling across much of America has become increasingly aesthetics-focused and content devoid.
Differences remain as fundamental as ever, but the way we talk about them is so superficial as to have become incoherent.
Many sane, self-respecting people no longer want anything to do with either side.
This same phenomenon is becoming far more common at the local level. The biggest problem when this occurs locally is that it severely impacts the number/quality of voices and perspectives in an already limited grouping of participants.
It does so percentage wise at an exponential scale, and this chasm is something that will come at the expense of our community's future.
I've consciously cut national politics out of my life and limited state politics; but local issues have been at the core of my professions and true passion for the past two decades.
But now that my engagement is predicated on the passion component, it's harder to sustain involvement when what I was hoping would be a new generation of community activists capable of moving beyond the us v. them political party mantra has deepened that mentality, fueled by national tonal tensions.
The post I referenced previously is a prime example of my frustration since it was in a group born of a new energy and faces in our community. While I didn't agree with all their views and efforts, I initially respected the movement because it seemed to indicate a shift in the level of passion for local issues.
More importantly, there was talk of being less concerned with political allegiance than initiating change.
Now, I see a post from a key contributor promoting a county candidate primarily because of affiliation with one party rather than his qualifications or social/political betterment, which should be the criteria.
The comments were even more tiresome as they focused on blue v. red team talk that quickly deteriorated into the same old misinformed growth v. no-growth vitriol that I've grown extremely weary of in our community.
When tonal tension becomes the predominant paradigm, it all but guarantees growing apathy for those witnessing it along with irrelevance and incoherence for those practicing it.
Long-term, it destroys meaningful and much-need dialog about local decisions, and ultimately has the potential to gradually destroy a community.
Thoughtful dialog, deliberation, and actual change are incremental and difficult, but they are totally worth it.
I genuinely hope we can find a way to pull out of "mainstream politics' compulsive, addictive, downward rhetorical spiral" so aptly described by Katherine Magu-Ward (in the New York Times piece) before our communities and society pay the ultimate price.

Dirk Nowitzki officially has a street named after him now
Kenny Honaker
Mavs legend Dirk Nowitzki received a special honor on Wednesday afternoon. Knowing his importance to the team and surrounding area, the city of Dallas awarded the German-born All-Star with his own street.
Nowitzki is seven feet tall, but that didn't stop him from participating in the unveiling of "Nowitzki Way." In fact, the former NBA champion climbed into the cherry picker that was on-site to personally lift the veil on the street's placard, despite the fact that it was a windy day.
After the unveiling, Nowitzki made light of the fact that his name was spelled correctly:
Here it is!!! Nowitzki Way…and it's spelt right!!! @swish41 #MFFL pic.twitter.com/WOHphesIre
— Dallas Mavericks (@dallasmavs) October 30, 2019
Even in retirement, Nowitzki's jovial nature shines through.
If anyone is deserving of such an honor, it's Nowitzki. The 41-year-old led the Mavs to their first NBA title in 2011, as well as two Western Conference championships.
Taken by the Mavs with the ninth overall pick in the 1998 NBA Draft, Nowitzki went on to become one of the greatest big men the league has ever known. His style of play revolutionized the game, and kids around the globe still mimic his one-legged fall-away jumper to this day.
Dirk reacted to the emotional day:
Dirk Nowitzki on the street renaming: "There's a lot of love I've received from this community, whether it's from the Mavericks or fan base when things weren't going well. After my first year, the city probably wouldn't have named a dumpster after me, let alone a street."

Nowitzki played in 1,522 games over the course of his 21-year career in the NBA, racking up averages of 20.7 points on 47.1 percent shooting from the field (38.0 percent from beyond the arc), 7.5 rebounds and 2.4 assists. His 31,560 points are ranked sixth on the league's all-time scoring list. The only players ahead of him on that list go by one name: Kareem, Malone, Kobe, LeBron and Jordan.
Join us in congratulating Dirk, one of the NBA's all-time greats.
