Kenneth Eng Arrested

Kenneth Eng: remember him? "Why I Hate Blacks" and the weird dragon fetish? Well, after he got fired from his columnist gig at San Francisco's Asianweek, we've gotten quite a bit of news updates about him -- his YouTube clips, his weird statements after the Virginia Tech tragedy, and, most intriguingly, a copy of the book proposal he was shopping around -- but we decided as an editorial matter we weren't going to run anything else about the guy because he didn't deserve the attention. (which is why we're not giving you links to any of those news items as well.)

However, we are pleased to pass along the latest news about Eng: He's been arrested. He was arrested in Queens a week or so ago for threatening to kill a neighbor and her dog, going up to the neighbor and saying, "if your dog bites me, I'll kill you and your family," and then swinging a hammer at her.

Sounds like Eng's been locked up in a Queens jail, without bail. We must admit we feel much safer in the world as a result of this.
