We've made a lot of fun of "Florida Man" in previous episodes, but the truth is that "Florida Man" doesn't hold a candle to "New York Man" when it comes to crime. While "Florida Man's" exploits are bizarre and often hilarious, New York Man tends toward senseless violence. Today we are playing "Crime and the Ten Commandments," looking at some recent crime stories to see how Commandments apply, and what might the criminals or victims have done differently.
