Congress should take back the governing of DC.

The people of DC obviously cannot govern themselves................

Someone is lying.... There are no guns allowed in DC. It is against the law. No one is above the law! No One!

Walking around southeast DC at 2 in the morning? That’s just asking for it.

The Navy Yard area has undergone extensive renovation and gentrification so this is a little surprising. But criminals can cross neighborhoods - and go to where the good targets are.

Too bad they didn’t rob Susan herself.

Walking around SE DC at any time of the day is asking for it.

“... claimed one attacker had taken a watch while another was punched by one of the victims.”

~~~

Wait? This is confusing. By victims, do they mean that one of the staffers punched one of the attackers, even though they had a gun?

Who is the “victim”?
Or is the author suggesting that the “attackers” are also “victims”

If they really wanted excitement, they can cross the river and visit Anacostia.

Notice the language used here: Republican Georgia Rep. Mike Collins claimed Sunday afternoon that one of his staffers was robbed at gunpoint in Washington, D.C.

Later they at they confirmed the robbery with the police so what does it not say, that one of his staffers was robbed or just that the congressman said that his staffer was robbed.

To me claimed is implying that he is potentially lying.

Anacostia is about 2.5 miles from the Navy Yard. So, yes & no. It’s close but not adjacent to each other.

2.5 miles is nothing. I walk that every day.

In a speeding car at 2am it’s probably about 2.5 minutes................

The residential section of DC should be returned to MD. The rest should be stripped of the right to vote in presidential elections. Combined the Rats lose 3 EV for POTUS.

“Collins took to X (formerly known as Twitter)”

Good Gravy... Will writers ever cease using this little parenthetical explanation... it’s been X for a while, how about something like on X or On-x, or ONX
