"I'm gonna kill him when we get home..."

Homicides in the District are up by more than half in the first six months of the year. But unlike the days when drive-by shootings and feuds among drug gangs propelled the deadly violence, the current uptick is the result of a spike in domestic killings behind closed doors that have contributed to more female homicide victims already than in all of 2013.
Through Monday, the city recorded 59 homicides — up sharply from the 38 at the same point last year. The figure marks a drastic departure from a generally downward trend in killings in the nation’s capital over the past decade and from declines in other big cities so far this year.
“Domestic violence is our biggest challenge in terms of homicides,” said D.C. Metropolitan Police Chief Cathy L. Lanier.
Eleven women were killed in 2013, but this year’s homicide count already includes 12 women. So far this year, women account for 20.3 percent of the city’s homicide victims — a higher percentage at the midway mark than for any full year in at least the past decade.
A total of 25 people, including the majority of the female victims, were slain indoors. Although the characteristics don’t necessarily mean the crimes were domestic — many of the killings are awaiting classification — the trends correspond to those associated with domestic violence.

Bush’s fault.
Sisters Are Doin’ It For Themselves!
[many of the killings are awaiting classification] == [we can’t figure out who was related to whom]
12 of 60 victims were women. OK. But then they write this about 3 of those 12 cases.
No one has been arrested or charged in any of the cases, so police have not been able to determine whether domestic violence played a role in the deaths.
So how does the fact that they are women just naturally leads to the assumption that the entire article is based on - the uptick in homicides is because of domestic violence against women.
There's nothing in the whole article that adequately establishes its main premise. That's why I wonder what they're really trying to push.
A woman wrote it. NOW you know why it doesn’t make sense.
(ducking for cover)
In fact, white males in America kill women at just a slightly higher rate than white males in “gun free” Europe.
Hope and Change! #BlameDemocratVoters

Football season is over, must be due to soccer and soccer hooligans.
Long pause......................................
Although the characteristics don’t necessarily mean the crimes were domestic
“blamed on domestic disputes “
Are we so stupid that we can’t see the fallacy? The murders happen because the feral street creatures believe the only way to solve differences is through anger and violence.
If kleptocrats and bureacrats in DC all kill each other, there’s no down side I can see.
Sharp increase in homicides in D.C. blamed on domestic disputes
Brought to us by LBJ, Democrats and of course, “The Great Society.”
how many were lesbians murdered by other lesbians? dc is way top heavy in gays.”
Lesbian couples are very violent towards each other, much more so than heterosexual couples or gay men couples.
They should report whether it was other women who committed these domestic murders.
Isn’t that a war on women?
Happening in the district of criminals?
Run by democrats?
How could that be?
