5:30 PM?! In other words, broad daylight. Further the H Street corridor is a very gentrified up and coming area of The District.

Nice area now. Everyone is thinking of the old D.C. That's not the case. If criminals are emboldened, the feds will just take control again.

The 96% of DC residents who voted from Creepy Crime Boss Joe support a little bit of murder.

Whatever WTOP is, they left out the police description of black “teens” with dreadlocks. Shocker!

So we should hear from the NFL players Union, and the owners that we don’t want any criminal charges filed against the perpetrators, because it would be racist to arrest them.

Hay, Ben’s Chili Bowl is a with it place. I actually ate there once over 50 years ago as my mother was picking up several pictures she had framed by a company she had done business with since the 1930’s. It was lunch time and about half the diners were white from various businesses in the area. The chili at the time really was good being almost entirely ground beef with the liquid drained off. Almost no grease at all.

I've eaten a couple of times at their original location on U Street NW, and their food is excellent. Just around the corner on 14th St. NW is Jeni's Splendid Ice Creams, a favorite hangout for Nancy Pelosi. I can't stand her politics, but she has good tastes when it comes to ice cream.

Washington Commanders? Is that the best name they could come up with?

Let me suggest Washington Carjackers.

Drive a manual transmission. You will be jack proof.

I drive a 14 year-old toyota pickup with a rusted gate and numerous dents. Even though I could afford something much better, I keep it because 1) it still costs very little for upkeep, even with 230K miles, and 2) its an absolutely perfect vehicle for driving in urban areas.

“8th & H NE, you have to be nuts to go there at night, or even after noon.”

Come on man, it’s where some go for narcotics, and pizza related prostitution.

Although bigger hitters rotate the locations a bit —

You're leaving out important details! Can you recall whether the bathrooms were clean? Were the paper towel dispensers fully stocked? Were the parking facilities adequate? Who was your server? Was Madge on shift that day?

When I was a state copper working in Cook County I was in Chicago in the Greektown restaurant area when my partner and I monitored a Chicago Police Dept flash message about a car jacking that had just occurred in the area within the last few minutes.

Just moments after we made note of it, we heard cars honking at a late model import that was moving slowly in the left lane, jerking and stopping as other cars swerved around it. Since it matched the description of the suspect vehicle, we made a felony stop, detained three suspects who had two pistols in the car, and notified CPD Tactical officers to meet us at the scene.

These suspects were subsequently identified as the offenders in the car jacking, and the reason for the erratic driving that had captured our attention was the fact that the ringleader driver couldn’t operate the 5 speed manual transmission in it very well. One of his accomplices was an 18 wheel truck driver who was entirely capable of driving it, but the boss said that he had always wanted to drive a stick shift and this would be his first chance, so he ordered his buddy to stand down and took the wheel himself.

We wouldn’t catch so many of these clowns if so many weren’t so damn stupid.

As a result of this experience, my 2010 Hummer H3 has a 5 speed manual trans. The transmission also helps me to get the most performance from a relatively heavy vehicle with a relatively small engine. (3.7L 250 hp, but moving 4800 lbs).

He probably votes Democrat, so he voted for that behavior.

Nothing good happens in D.C. before Midnight or after Midnight.
