My neighborhood was nice and quiet, too.
Then, a half block from my house, less than an hour before I got home from graveyard shift, three people were murdered in their house.

I started the process for a silencer purchase that week.
That was six years ago.

I keep hoping for that fault in the Azores to give way and send that 300 foot tsunami into DC.

Maybe the trouble started because somebody forgot the pot for cooking the people.

Went there 100 yrs ago, never gave a thought for my safety.

Is the same true today?

It was Southeast DC. For anyone remotely familiar with DC no further information is needed.

That is truly sad.

The inmates have taken over the asylum.

To the tune of about 95% of black deaths are committed by blacks.

Black males- 7% of the population, commit 48% of the homicides.

Facts are stubborn things.

It wasn’t an illegal gun. It was an undocumented gun.

Some years ago I had swat team members running through my back yard. They were working their way under cover to surround a house across the street. They ordered me to go inside. The woman psychologist across the street had threatened to kill herself and maybe her husband.

It all ended without any gun fire, but for a while there was excitement. Been pretty dull since then.

I’ve spent a lot of time there. My daughter lives there. Not going again, maybe ever.

I have to go to Dupont Circle for a dentist appointment

I recall that being about like Castro Street in San Francisco.

Air & Space is really cool too. Udvar-Hazy annex as well but I think that’s outside DC.

“Now there’s a clue.”


No, the clue is a large gathering and gunfire breaks out. I know there can be exceptions, but they are rare. You don’t need the name of the city, even, let alone the neighborhood. But of course, we can’t be told by the press what we already know. We have to fill that in for ourselves.

No.. not black males. 5 year olds and 70 year olds aren’t committing the murders. Its black males between say 15 and 30. And not the ones who go to church and get good educations. So actually it’s probably worse... 1 or 1.5% doing half of America’s murders.

Interesting, thanks. They were working on what looked like a young lady in a white dress.

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

It is DC. Almost all guns are illegal and anyone who possesses one (except for a very few well-connected VIPs) is therefore a criminal.

“The National Gallery of Art is nice.”

And the Hirschhorn, except for some of the modern stuff.

Anyone who played the video game Fallout 3 will never look at D.C. the same way again.

At one time it was called the “Fruit Loop”.

“It is DC. Almost all guns are illegal”

And to think, the original Constitution is right there.
