New sparklines, Stoner Hill, and a correction
The Denver Crimes Thursday July 6, 2017 email newsletter.
Somehow it has already been a week since the last Thursday I wrote to you. Weird.
Here we are, with this week's Denver Post Crimes weekly email newsletter, updated with all (mostly) new information and links from the week before. Is it hard to do the same thing over and over again, with slight variations? Wait, isn't that life? Oh man, unintentional deep moment. Let's pause on that a second.
...
Aaaaaaand we're back. I can't say it's been the most exciting week, as I write this the numbers are crunching on today's data update, which is notable in that it had been a solid nine days since the DPD issued any updates to its spreadsheet of reported crimes. Oh, but there's something you'll want to know if you were on the site last week: I made a mistake and messed up the timestamps on the crimes committed after 12 p.m. last week. Click that link if you want to read the full correction.
That's a hefty intro, so let's get to the meat. Here's your Denver Post Crimes weekly update (if you like this, won't you forward it to a friend? And if you're a friend who just got this and likes it, won't you consider signing up?)

Denver crime news
Kinda light this week, you guys. Guess that's a good thing? That's a good thing.
- The man who killed a Denver Post reporter in a drunken driving crash is out of prison.
- Another week, another Denver police blotter.
- And, from over the weekend: Stoner Hill is no more
New on Denver Post Crimes
I'm a big fan of charts in small packages. Maybe you've noticed all the sparklines (ala 
) dotting the site?
Those sparklines update once a month at the beginning of the month, which means they're updated. Praise be.
You can see them in full action on the crime index, and on the neighborhood index.
People, I think that's a wrap. If you want off this newsletter, reply with UNSUBTHURSDAY somewhere in the email. I'm happy and a little shocked that you read all the way to the bottom. Thanks.
