That’s serious trouble for DC.

Back in the 90s, DC’s fake delegate to Congress, Eleanor Holmes Norton, had to personally intervene when a couple local kids from SE held up some tourists on West Potomac Park, not far from the Lincoln Memorial.

She met w/ local “leadership” to explain that messing w/ the tourists is out of bounds.

The mayor of DC is absolute trash. There has been an exodus of people moving to MD and VA (andn bringing their bad viting habits) that IIRC 15% of residents moved out in the last 2-3 years.

Authorities detained three individuals – one juvenile and two adults – related to the incident, U.S. Park Police told Fox 5 WTTG.

"There is no ongoing threat to the public," Park Police said. "The investigation is ongoing and there is no more specific information at this time."

The shooting did not appear to be political in nature, despite its proximity to the Washington Monument and White House.

Nothing to see here, move along. Two adults and a yoot. Memory holed.

Thats true. In the past, DC would do anything to keep crime out of tourist areas, or at least keep the crime out of the papers.
