WTH is going on

No thankfully for me I haven't had to see such visual horror recently

That's always a good thing.

I still remember the look on the peoples faces that were inside - priceless.

Good thing the Metro is a prohibited "sensitive" area in the District (if you can even get a permit); we can't have people defending themselves from being robbed and stabbed to death midday on the Fourth of July.

20-25 people robbing someone?
They won't get too much once they split it up.

It's not about the money.

Plenty of street cred to go around...

here's your happy thought for the day

Man forced into van, sexually assaulted by group

“It represents a change in what's going on out here on the streets that we have a group of people who are specifically looking to target, kidnap and sexually assault men. That is a very, very profound event and it’s a change in what we're used to investigating,” said Delroy Burton, President of the D.C. Police Union.

you can say that again Delroy.

This is true.

Van Applegate added,
Cordell Pugh @CordellTraffic
@VBagate The Uzi was equipped with a large capacity magazine

Van Applegate ‏@VBagate 14m14 minutes ago

Illegal firearms. 130 guns in 30 days. 10 this weekend. Chief Lanier and mayor want federal prosecutions, upon being asked

Van Applegate ‏@VBagate 14m14 minutes ago

If you're not going to follow the law, We want the full weight of the law to be followed on every case - mayor Bowser.

Van Applegate ‏@VBagate 14m14 minutes ago

"We are seeing far too many repeat violent offenders." - chief Lanier

Duh

What a joke. They find an Uzi, the crime rate is up, and now all of the sudden they want to enforce the law. If the people didn't plead their charges away in the first place, they'd still be in jail.

^^^^^^^^^

This exactly

People get they government they deserve AND VOTED FOR.

So, if tomorrow they impound a Ferrari, they will suddenly realize there's a speeding problem and insist on cracking down???

Hahahaha the Uzi was all jason and some DAMN good police work!

Good for him. Even better that he turned it in!

My buddy chased a guy back into a house one time and the guy ran to a bedroom closet and grabbed a shoe box. He was tackled before he could get the Mac 10 out of it.

Looked like this but with a 16inch barrel

Looks like it's staying quiet in DC anyway...

Police say at least two gunmen opened fire where man was killed in Shaw
http://www.washingtonpost.com/local...220f56-451c-11e5-8e7d-9c033e6745d8_story.html

Lanier described the shooting at a news conference and released two surveillance videos, one of which captured a portion of the Saturday afternoon shootout in which guns were fired from sidewalks on both sides of Seventh and S streets NW and at a stolen burgundy Chrysler 300 that was recovered with bullet holes.

‘Straight up execution’: Crime surges across the District
http://www.washingtonpost.com/local...5146f81fa_story.html?wpmm=1&wpisrc=nl_evening

The gunman ran up Georgia Avenue, shooting along the way. Struck in the back, the 33-year-old victim collapsed in front of a Metrobus. A witness on the bus told police the assailant “stood over him and shot him two more times.”

Good thing DC has all those gun laws...

Awesome!

 

[rascal]

honestly very rare. In the 10 years I've worked in DC these are the only 2 daytime armed crimes I heard about (unless the DC Alert system doesn't send the email out) . There is always at least 4 or 5 police agencies prowling about .

Armed crimes are increasing in DC and nationally. from 1993-2014 the US gun homicide rate fell a whopping 65%, to the lowest level in 100 years, and likely lowest level in all of US history.

Why? just go to Wikipedia and look up incarnation rates. They rose for 20 years. A couple of years ago incarceration rates flattened and began dropping. the number of felons off of parole and on our streets started to really rise last year.

Over and over studies show than not only are half of gun murders prior gun crime violators, but over 90% of all gun murder involves a prior criminal as per or victim (In fact if you are not a criminal your risk of being a murder victim in the US is a fraction of the risk in Europe).

Now we are seeing the direct result. a big spike in murder and violent crime.

Mayor having a press conference on robberies in the city ABC news vehicle gets robbed 100 feet in front of her (yes she was facing the car) you can't make this sh!t up
