It’s a rapidly gentrifying area, with some very attractive neighborhoods that have become real bright spots. But it’s the kind of area that can change dramatically from block to block. It was a mistake in judgment to be out alone, on foot, at that hour. And bad luck. Bad guys have mostly returned to their coffins by 4:00 a.m., to sleep through the day.
A tragedy, but one that is repeated almost daily in parts of DC, esp. NE and SE, with shootings and stabbings as a daily part of life.
Now the Dems will call for more gun control for DC regardless of the already strict laws they have. Most guns used in DC are stolen, bought elsewhere, straw purchases, etc.
Let’s see how the MSM report this killing. No motive? No suspects?
Well, I think I can rule out the Amish kids. They’re usually in bed by 10:00 PM. Chinese - nah. Still working in their restaurants or studying. Jews? Still studying or saving lives as doctors or cops. Japanese - nah. They are among the most peaceful people around (except for the Yakuza but even they have rules to obey).
That leaves White criminals. Not too many in DC.
Asian criminals - Don’t know of any in DC> A few in No. Va.
Hispanics - not too active in DC. Arlington, Fairfax, Loudon, Prince Williams, and Staunton/Front Royal/Augusta counties region.
That leaves - fill in the blanks.
A criminal is a criminal no matter what the color of their skin. If racial discrimination was the main cause of crime, then why are 99.9% of American blacks law abiding, working citizens?
The Democrats won’t answer that question, ever. And you know why.
Donald Trump wants to build a wall to keep illegal immigrants, esp. criminals, from getting into America.
The Democrat Party has built a wall around black areas, keeping them in poverty, ignorance and on the ghetto plantation.
That is one of the key reasons for black crime.
