Homicide in parking garage shakes Stadium District residents

I ride my bike past this apartment twice a day. The President has not held a press conference about how, if he had a son, the perpetrators would look like that son.

“If you see someone you do not recognize outside of your car, if possible, drive away. Call immediately if you sense danger.”

No, put your Glock in your hand.

[Dagnabitt]

Is this place in a “hood”? If so, I don’t get why folks would choose to live there. Is there some investment potential gentrification going on?

[Uncle Miltie]

This is Tacoma’s most upscale part of downtown, which is not saying a whole lot, but the views are magnificent.

[Tax-chick]

“In that particular place and area, they don’t have this type of crime,” Cool said.

Except, you know, when they do.

[Obadiah]

Police describe the suspects as black men in their late teens or early 20s with average builds. One had a light complexion and was wearing a white shirt and dark pants, they said, and the other was wearing a dark shirt and dark pants.

With obama’s policies, there will be much more of this. It’s just the poor ‘oppressed’ underclass rising up and taking what is ‘rightly’ theirs from those evil ‘oppressors’.

Ferals want to kill you. Arm yourself, city-dwellers. I guess midnight basketball wasn’t enough.

“It’s pretty scary to think you’re secure and then find out that you’re not,”

Don't depend on someone else to make you secure because feeling secure is exactly what that will provide, "a feeling".

Black men. WHAT a surprise

[Moonman62]

The walk-up entrance to Sky Terrace resembles a moat with a bridge that ends at a locked door and a card-key reader. The building’s foundation and tall cyclone fencing topped with barbed wire block access from the sides.

Sounds like it's in a bad neighborhood, probably filled with liberals who crave diversity.

[NativeSon]

and... what police called “a robbery that went wrong.”

ever notice cops say that all the time when someone is murdered and the perp(s) and victim(s) resemble those here?

Perhaps it is not a "robbery that went wrong" but a murder and robbery.

[Dagnabitt]

I get it. My brother and his wife live in such a place in downtown San Diego. Guess it makes sense for them, since the kids are grown, so no school district to worry about.

(Of they’re also both LEOs so they’re usually equipped for unknown “youths” in their garage)

Hope you’re safe on that bike!

Yet on Saturday night, when Howse, 54, drove his black BMW into the garage, two men apparently slipped in behind him as the gate was closing. Howse was shot and killed in what police called “a robbery that went wrong.”

This week, residents of similarly protected apartments and condominiums in the area were making sure security doors close behind them...

Liberal elites - who scold the middle class about 'racism' (from their safe 'sky boxes') might become more realistic if they're being hit...

[Sixpackplymouth]

The hood is so close you could spit on it.
Just the other side of Wright’s park.
What was K street is now Martin Luther King Blvd...

[Salvey]

The "robbery that went wrong" motif ain't working any more. The folks know that it's black on white warfare. It's time to start fighting back.

:: giving long looks to ^^strangers^^. ::

The newest racist “dog-whistle”.

[rktman]

Tacoma WA? According to the lame stream media there is NO racial dis-harmony there. Kum by ya, drum beating, chanting, love fest amongst all residents. Up close views when Ranier decides to awaken.

[I want the USA back]

0bama’s policies are going to force complexes like this to give a free apartment to those poor ‘oppressed’ downtrodden individuals, who will then have a key, and will have an much easier time of taking what is ‘rightfully’ theirs from their ‘oppressors’ while the ‘oppressors’ are out working to pay the taxes that go to to the ‘oppressed.’

And if the cops tell the press the race of the robber/murderer, the cops lose their job.

[Cletus.D.Yokel]

OK. Went back to read and can only commisserate on the state of journalism in the US.

Seriously, does the author believe his/her/their credibility is enhanced by printing an entire article in ^individual sentences^?

Really. Does that style make the facts more factual?
