A top staffer at the Democratic National Committee (DNC) was fatally shot in Washington, D.C. on Sunday. Seth Conrad Rich was shot several times a block from his home in D.C.’s neighborhood of Bloomingdale.
It happened at 4:20 a.m. on a residential street near a convenience store. He died a few hours later at the local hospital. He was 27 years old:
“He wanted to make a difference,” said the victim’s father, Joel I. Rich, 68, in a phone interview from his home in Omaha, Neb. “Politics was in his blood.” The younger Rich had worked on computer database to help voters identify and map their individual polling locations. In his spare time, he volunteered at the humane society taking care of dogs. Acting D.C. Police Capt. Anthony Haythe, head of the homicide unit, said detectives have no suspects and are looking into all possible motives. He said there were no witnesses and police are trying to determine if any part of the crime was caught on surveillance video. Haythe pleaded for anyone with information to come forward. Rich was the voter expansion data director, and DNC Chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz issued this statement:

But not to worry. His absentee ballots have all been filled out. All 25 of them.>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Maybe they will kill thousands of themselves so they all can vote more than once? LOL.
Correction: I made an error in first names in mentioning another Democratic presidential campaign worker. It was ALEX Okrent who died while working for Obama campaign. There is a journalist named “Daniel Okrent.” I apologize for not checking before posting the wrong first name.

> Playing Pokemon Go?
My daughter discovered Pokemon Go 10 days ago.
Yesterday, I had to block her datadata access, because in just 10 days, she blew through all but 0.078GB of our 4GB shared plan allotment.
I could be wrong though.
Makes you wonder if it was something developed by a cartel of Internet providers to make users burn through their data plans and have to buy more...:)
What info did he have on Hillary?
I heard he lived nearby in the gentrified area, and may have been walking back from his girlfriend's.
Living in a gentrifying area is a little like being a pioneer in hostile territory.
Yup.
Any one out in the early am in the big city is like walking around with a target on his back.
Another liberal Democrat saw his life cut short.
He didn’t get to tell his killer how he had big plans to make his life better.
Oh and its the easy availability of guns that made his murder possible.
Whoa. Dude. 420, really?
Was Rush in Washington this AM? /s
You know his name is bound to come up as a cause.
4:20 = 420=dope? Right. Those cops who fixed the time of death have a sick sense of humor.
Just noticed your screen name. I’ve been staying up late the past few nights burning through B5 seasons 2-4 for the umpteenth time. My favorite TV show of all time.
I know. :-)
In Wisconsin, we have a saying for that: “Uff da!”
detectives have no suspects and are looking into all possible motives

Was the victim white? if so, there’s your “motive”.
4:30AM??? Going out early for coffee? Sounds suspicious.
He was hardly a “top Democrat official.” His $45,000 annual salary is pretty much poverty level in DC.
No loss, no tragedy. Democrats are genocidal maniacs. Democrat policies created inner-city rot; let them all die from it.
I’m from DC and looked up the street on Google.
In my youth, that would have been a ‘no go’ area for most decent people, black or white.
I realize times have changed and gentrification is what it is, but yeah, you live in one of those places and you are wearing a target on your back. Nice, employed, educated black people have also been killed in such areas. The thugs are equal opportunity killers.
And she did. She arranged for the world to have one fewer anti-Semitic rat.
