Woman and child attacked by teens in Georgetown (D.C.)
The Washington Post ^ | November 18, 2015 | Peter Hermann

District police are searching for a group of teenagers who they said attacked a woman and her child in their sport utility vehicle in Georgetown earlier this week and smashed the sun roof with a rock.

The incident occurred about 10:30 a.m. near Wisconsin Avenue and Q Street Northwest, near the Georgetown Library and moments after the woman had strapped her daughter into a car seat after the child's morning music class.

The victim gave a first-person account of the attack on a neighborhood Internet newsletter, and D.C. police confirmed the Monday incident on the department's Internet mailing list.

D.C. Police Cmdr. Melvin Gresham - who heads the Second District, which covers Georgetown - wrote that "while this appears to be an isolated incident, we have increased patrols in the neighborhood."

The victim said she had just buckled her child into the seat and was digging around a diaper bag looking for snacks when she said "a group of what seemed to be teenagers" were "rushing up on me, trying to surround us and our SUV." She said she slammed the car door shut and locked and raced around to the driver's side. She got in and locked that door as well.

Thugs were identified as "teens," but no additional description. Makes it a little difficult to track down the perps, doesn't it?

Obviously not White attacking Black, or the president would be giving a news conference about it.

“Teens” isn’t positive, either. She said “seemed to be teenagers.”

That opens up a lot of uncertainty and leeway.

Recently the local news reported to ‘be on the lookout’ for a somebody responsible for a crime. They gave a description of the perp’s clothes, car, etc. But were too afraid to list the race.

It gets better when you read the WP article...

1. “The victim gave a first-person account of the attack on a neighborhood Internet newsletter.”
2. Last sentence: “Police had no descriptions of the teens.”

That’s one dogged reporterette there, determined to get to the bottom of things.

Actually, we call them "Amish" on this forum.

Not really if one understands their code words. The descriptor, “teen[s]” immediately lets one know who to watch for.

Well gee... given that the incident occured within a couple of blocks from Duke Ellington High School for the Performing Arts, I suggest Police Chief Cathy Lanier “ say something, do something” parade all the students in a line up.

Bound to catch them and others on outstanding warrants.

Straw hats, suspenders and maybe a horse with a black buggy. Right?

These feral “vigilantes” need “Bronsoned” really badly...really badly. However, the woman was oozing white privilege...

At the same link, I found this other (somewhat related) story:

Flash mob hits designer store in Georgetown, steals $13,000 worth of goods

Apparently, this robbery occurred after the merchants were forced to abandon a messaging service they used to identify potential perps because it tended to "racially profile" suspects.

At this point in America’s history there have been far more black lynch mobs than white ones. The back lash when it comes will be immense. How will blacks ever get respect again?

"Police had no descriptions of the teens."

Oh, right.
