Actually the Washington Football Team, was starting to grow on me, they should have just kept it.

**I drive a 2001 VW Golf. 55K miles.**

Deceptive, from a used car buyer standpoint. 21 winter seasons of warmups probably would equate to at least another 20k on the engine. And 21 winters of WI road salt..... :(

(lol). I know what NW IL road salt did to my cars and pickups from ‘70 to 2016. (Been in TN since ‘16)

If he was a “Redskin” would this be a “hate crime”? Fair question ...

Only whitey can perpetuate hate crimes my friend.

[glennaro]

Roger that. Still on my first cup out here I forgot that essential detail. Cheers!

The player’s name nickname is B’Rob, he is a good kid from Tuscaloosa, close to the University of Alabama. Hope he gets well soon. RTR

Taken down in the prime of life by rampaging Klansmen... /s

In DC, NE is not as bad as SE, believe it or not. Really doesn’t matter where you are in that town, you’re still surrounded by criminals - some are just in the Capitol or the White House.

I only drive her in the Summer months. She can’t get up the hill to our house if it’s the least bit icy.

I have a truck for Winter driving.

But, yes, cars take a beating in Wisconsin. This one has had a relatively plush life. She was always in a garage and my Step-Mom only took her out to Church and then the Beer Depot (Liquor Store) once a week.

C’mon, Man! It’s Wisconsin! Beep! Beep! :)

I assume he was a victim by inference.

Everything I have read here doesn't clearly say which side of a carjacking he was on, perpetrator or victim. And they call this "news reporting"?

[Zuriel]

Summer of 74 I bought a 71 Mustang. By the time I traded it in (summer 76) it had stage 4 salt ‘cancer’. But it was driven year round.

[Red Badger]

He was driving a Dodge Charger SRT Hellcat............

The Washington Carjackers would have been a better name than the Washington Commanders, but maybe too many people would get them confused with Congress.

Black lives matter, except to anyone when it’s black on black crime.

[Red Badger]

Black lives matter, except to other blacks....................

I read that, but you would think the headline or lead in sentence would tell a reader outright that he was a victim.

Finding out in a few paragraphs buried a into the story, is too much work for headline readers. That, and previous stories about more than a few NFL bad actors committing serious crimes, could leave a reader wondering.

"...the 1000 block of H Street Northeast,..."

Where the elite meet to eat...

Shocking?
Normal?

To decide your vote, go down and spend a few hours there...

[JimRed]

why in the world would you drive an $80k vehicle in a crap hole like that?

Just asking for trouble IMO.

Why would a woman walk unescorted from the restaurant to her car while wearing an appealing outfit?

Just asking for trouble?

[Tallguy]

Agree. A protest against the forced re-naming of the team — just don’t pick a new name. You can make me drop the name “Redskin,” but I don’t have to pick a new name. The fans will continue to think in terms of the old name. And with the popularity of throwback sports paraphernalia and jerseys...
