And also his love of crack cocaine.
Interesting footnote though is that Marion Barry was shot by Muslim extremist taking over the D.C. city hall back in 1977
On March 911, 1977, three buildings in Washington, D.C. were seized by 12 African American gunmen, led by Hamaas Abdul Khaalis, who had broken from the Nation of Islam but blamed it for murder. They took 149 hostages and killed a radio journalist. After a 39-hour standoff, the gunmen surrendered and all hostages were released from the District Building (the city hall; now called the John A. Wilson Building), B'nai B'rith headquarters, and the Islamic Center of Washington.

Despite the lefty press attempt at a poker face, the jokes write themselves.

He loved DC and cocaine. RIP.

Probably heart failure considering how much of the white stuff he inhaled over the years.

Barry sure knew how to reduce the crime rate: “If you take out the killings, Washington actually has a very, very low crime rate.”

And also his love of crack cocaine. Yah for sure...I understand the article is from San Francisco and they're trying to be charitable but most people know and remember him because he apparently was able to be smoke crack on camera and STILL be elected.

The dead guy was a bum who played the race card incessantly. He was like a Grand Potentate of a small African country. Many worshipped him. He was corrupt but untouchable. It was amazing what he was able to do with no consequences.

I have a dream that I will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character.
with apologies to MLKJr.

DC of course being an abbreviation for “Doing Crack”.
