5:30 PM?! In other words, broad daylight. Further the H Street corridor is a very gentrified up and coming area of The District. This is not good.

8th & H NE, you have to be nuts to go there at night, or even after noon.

Ah, so he was the victim and not the perpetrator. The headline was...ambiguous.

What possessed Robinson to attempt a carjacking?

Isn't the NFL paying him enough to afford an Uber?

Two teenagers take on a professional football player for a 90K car while it’s still daylight.

Thieves have no fear anymore.

Commanders might as well call them something else more appropriate for the real story of what goes on in Washington DC

Washington Swamp.

Washington Tax Suckers.

Washington Debt.

And the list is endless.

“...news websites NEED editors...”

You need to realize that they all do this on purpose
just for the web clicks and the associated advertising dollars.

Hay, Ben’s Chili Bowl is a with it place. I actually ate there once over 50 years ago as my mother was picking up several pictures she had framed by a company she had done business with since the 1930’s. It was lunch time and about half the diners were white from various businesses in the area. The chili at the time really was good being almost entirely ground beef with the liquid drained off. Almost no grease at all.

Imagine how high you have to be to try to carjack from a pro football player. Welcome to the nation’s hellhole, uh, capital. Glad nothing important was hurt - just your legs.

Today there was a reporter on Newsmax who went out on the street at a college campus to ask students a few VERY EASY questions!! Question 1 was, what country is the Queen of England in…….NONE of the 3 students asked could answer the question!! Question 2 was, what ocean is on the east side of the United States…….NONE of the 3 students asked could answer the question OMG utterly pathetic!!!

The thieves won’t know till they try and drive off.
Don’t go drivin’ around in your expensive ride. It’s bad times, if not, end times.
