I live in a really dull neighborhood--32 years here and no excitement like this at all. Funny thing about the article--no mention of the ethnicity of the party's attendees and no pictures. Now, why could that be?? Maybe all the film got lost.

They looked at the film and it was too dark to use.

DC is my second home, worked there for more than 40 years. Just retired a few months ago after being laid off. I have to go to Dupont Circle for a dentist appointment soon and I can’t believe I’m nervous to go into my beloved city.

A few years back, we had a thing across the street involving two deputy sheriffs and three drunk people in a car with a dog. I think they eventually decided that there wasn’t anything to be done, since the car was on the curb and the dog was obviously having fun.

” ... outdoor cookout that drew hundreds of people.”

Masks? I’m guessing those rules don’t apply.

Beloved? What exactly is there to “love” about the swamp?

They just have put up a banner that said BLM BBQ!!! NO PROBLEM!!

In the video police were doing CPR on a woman in a dress. Might have been the officer, off duty or undercover? I wonder if the officer was the target as she was the only one killed.

[SaxxonWoods]

How does she know the gun was illegal? And who is the “you” that put the gun in someone’s hands?

A teenage boy died.

Anacostia?

There are high quality dentists outside the city.

Lots of Somalis, too.
