A body pulled from a well in Fort Washington over the weekend has been identified as an Alexandria activist who was reported missing in September, authorities said.

More results from the EBT entitlement society.

First question - what were his connections to the Clintons?

Care to explain how someone makes a living being an activist?

Oh, just look at the White Hut.

[Peter from Rutland]

More results from the Dem run state of Maryland, no?

[cripplecreek]

Well he ain’t very active anymore.

:: Mr. Harris, a community activist who mentored youth and founded the non-profit Operation Hope to provide free public services, has been missing since Sept. 21. ::

Interesting...

See para 5 in the story.

Lenny was held in high esteem by many in Alexandria.

His disappearance WAS a mystery.

Was he a Redskins fan? In that case you could blame professional sports, also.

If you really are curious, I can give you one other career path that I know of. One of my roommates from law school decided he wanted to be an activist, so he went to work for Ralph Nader. He would do all sorts of things, and few of them related to law, like if there were a demonstration against nuclear power, for example, he might have to arrange for the leasing and delivery of the portable toilets, or coordinate lodging for out-of-towners. Later, he got Nader to subsidize a cross country bus trip where he would picket and harass car dealers, for something or other, I don't recall exactly what. He did that for years. When he completely ran out of money, he ran as a democrat for congress from some district in PA that never went democratic, and mirable dictu almost won. That lead to a job in the PA legislature where he is now. Untill he got the job with the legislature he never had health insurance, and barely made enough to eat.

Murdered, credit card stolen and used, car stolen, cell phone stolen. And then evidently the body thrown down the well.

I’m a bit curious to know if it was an active well that people were drinking from. It says it was in the 1900 block, which suggests that maybe it was. But as usual, the reporter seems incapable of giving us the facts.

[Old Sarge]

Amazing. Parlayed a law school future into politics.

[Farmer Dean]

Activists traditionally make a living by blackmail.See Jesse Jackson and friends.

The well may have been placed out of service last Fall, after the bad taste of decomposition was blamed on the fracturing of gas wells in Pennsylvania. s/
