| Cop was looking at camera footage on a laptop, the new buses have great CCTV to see what happened after the fact. We really need more/any? WMATA police riding buses and trains. |
There actually are a lot of them. They are in plain clothes. |
| What did the victim do to incite this? No one gets stabbed "randomly." |
Yeah no. They spend their time sitting in SUVs outside Metro stations. |
| Good God my kids ride that bus. |
Uh, yes they do |
Yeah, it's not like there's a bunch of violent lunatics in this town. Oh wait. |
Victim blaming..shame |
Too many |
plus, they are hyped up on drugs |
That's right, the violent criminal with the weapon is actually the true victim here. How dare those evil fellow bus riders provoke him! Not to mention how society at large also failed him. So it's really all our fault and the violent criminal is completely blameless. |
I’m going to guess that the victim made the dumb mistake of getting on a bus with someone who was just released from PIW or staying at the Idaho Ave shelter. |
Perhaps. Injuries said to be significant. |
There has been a lot of recent stabbings around the Cleveland Park Giant. There was even a prior stabbing on the 33 just last year. It’s hard not to draw conclusions that they are linked to PIW, the shelter and/or voucher residents in nearby apartments. https://www.nbcwashington.com/news/local/man-stabbed-on-metrobus-in-northwest-dc/3069106/?amp=1 https://www.dcnewsnow.com/news/local-news/washington-dc/police-investigating-stabbing-in-northwest-dc/amp/ https://wjla.com/amp/news/local/2-men-stabbed-wisconsin-avenue-northwest-dc-catherdral-heights-cleveland-park-stabbing-crime-knife-fight |
