WASHINGTON -

Love, hope and outrage. Those emotions were running high Friday night in a D.C. neighborhood. The community gathered to support and pray for the family of a 9-year old who was shot while playing outside.

The little boy's mother told us he is making progress and slowly healing. Her neighbors came out in a big way to show that they were here for her.

“When the bullets rang out and one hit my son over his right eye, he laid on that concrete asking what was wrong with his head,” Monique Nichols recalled.

Where’s Jesse? Where’s Al? Nevermind, it was two of obola’s sons shooting it out and nearly killing a little boy.

Prayers for the kid but no sympathy for the mother. It was her choice to live in that neighborhood. Doesn’t matter what her income is or if she’s getting every freebie the government allows. She could be raising her family far from thugville.

Why not just bring back the Black and slave codes which forbade blacks from possessing guns!
The black community seems to be all for it!

It is in the realm of possibility that he has a brother cousin, uncle etc. who belongs to a gang much like the one that shot him. Some of the neighbors offering support are most likely contributing to the crime that caused it. One thing is certain...they will find a way to blame someone else for their plight!!! Most likely ...white people!!!

Was he shot by a white guy? No? Then no one cares.

I hope the poor child recovers, but Jesse Jackson, Eric Holder and Barack Obama couldn’t care less.

D.C. Councilman Calls For Disarming Police Officers (Along With Civilians)
October 10 2014

It’s no secret that the Washington DC City Council wants to disarm pretty much every citizen in the district, but now we have one of the members calling for even police officers to be disarmed.

That’s right, independent Councilman David Grosso said at Wednesday night’s meeting.

According to WJLA,

Grosso said his staff has urged him not to express the opinion, but nonetheless, he said, “I think we ought to get rid of guns in the city and that police shouldn’t have guns.”

Democratic Council-member Tommy Wells pointed out that some police officers in other countries don’t carry deadly weapons.

I guess Grosso is unaware of the fact that more police officers than ever in places like the UK are now authorized to carry firearms while on duty.

Talk about being out of touch with reality. These people really never cease to amaze me with their idiotic comments.

The council voted last month to implement an extremely strict concealed carry law following a court order that said the district’s complete ban on carry outside of the home is unconstitutional. The new licensing system is a “may-issue” system which means virtually no normal citizens will be able to get the permit.
