This is an important article (the first time I have ever said that about the Washington Post.)

President Bush is planning to tour the DC Police Headquarters today. I am praying for his safety!

Maybe we should start a 'hold muh donut' alert for some of these stories of police and FBI incompetence. Sheesh.

And during the three-week period that the sniper shootings paralyzed the region and filled news reports with fear-mongering, ratings-driven, round-the-clock coverage, such everyday crime continued. There were 239 ADWs (assaults with a deadly weapon) in the District during that period -- 62 of them, like mine, committed with a gun. In 37 of those cases, the gun was fired; 32 people were shot. This does not include the 22 homicides in the District in that period, 18 committed with a gun. The District police, who provided those statistics, could not say how many of those cases had been solved. ****

22 murders in DC while the world was watching coverage of the snipers! And the clearance rate is abysmal.

An interesting read - especially because :

Washington, DC has rigid gun laws which are supposed to prevent such incidents. Could it ( gasp ! ) be these laws don't work ??

The gun control folks tells us, all we have to do is call 911, and let the cops handle it.

The Salvadorians in question are probably descendents of the people the Liberals helped hide in this country several years ago. Could these Liberals have been (ulp !) mistaken ????

Nah. Liberals are always right ...even when they're wrong !!!

You mean they let him print this story? That is the real shocking story here.

Just never occurs to dingleberries like that Post writer that, had he been armed, he might have returned fire, and there might today be one less wiolent criminal on the streets.
