We're doing this to ourselves electing people who deliberately keep madmen on the streets to kill. At least the people of Albemarle County were lucky to have him go kill somewhere else.

Isn't it amazing how many of the mentally-ill and dangerous homeless aren't from here? Can we stop being a magnet for this sort?

How do you know he is from Charlottesville? There is a pattern of DC residents committing violent crimes in college towns around the country, as we saw at the University of Alabama

It sounds like he’s actually lived in DC for a while:

Yup. Looks like the instigating factor here wasn’t guns at all but drug abuse. For all the liberals who promote decriminalization of drugs, this is the predictable result. Drug induced psychosis leading to eruptions of violence.

People aren't ready to look at the reality of "harmless" drugs.

I've never once heard of anyone going on a psychotic shooting rampage after using legal, inspected, controlled and regulated cannabis. But don't let the facts get in your way.

That you have not heard of it does not mean it has not happened and could not. Marijuana is, for a significant number of people, not a benign amusement. It has been linked to psychosis.

When mixed with other substances, sure. By itself most people just become more mellow and relaxed. The point of regulation would be that it is controlled to remain unadulterated and of known properties.

Shut. The F. Up.

“Recent research suggests that smoking high-potency marijuana every day could increase the chances of developing psychosis by nearly five times compared to people who have never used marijuana.”

"Shut. The F. Up." ???
You sound kinda psychotic, yourself. I guess we should then consider you an authority on psychoses.

You know what’s insane? Drinking grain alcohol every day. And yet, somehow, it’s legal to that.

I have an idea. What if we simply legalized it all, but also grew less highly potent strains, maybe some with CBD rather than THC? It would be like having the ability to buy Miller lite instead of vodka.

He was clearly having a psychotic breakdown. I wonder if he was vaccinated.

Learn about meth and it's effects on people. You'll be shocked.

On the contrary the link between marijuana and psychosis is well established. The increase in potency created by legalization probably made it worse.

This. Get them off the street. On the police’s radar? Is this a joke? Recently followed a story in the Wash Post of a girl who was accidentally shot in DC by another child. The adult owner of the gun is a lowlife sociopath who will get out of jail shortly after serving less than a year iirc. He already had numerous offenses. Why oh why.

I've lived in DC for 15 years so I'm use to reading about weak sentences. But I was really taken aback this week to read about a guy who shot a father to death on the street on broad daylight in front of the victim's children by EchoStage. He was sentenced to only 10 years in prison.

If this is the Sedrick Miller killing, the shooter got 13 years. His charges were reduced from first degree murder to “voluntary manslaughter while armed”. Apparently Miller also had a gun along with a lot of narcotics on him. Weird story

Weird statement.

And no one got shot in the place where you can carry a gun on metro.


Weird, huh?

Well, he didn’t die suddenly, so I’m going with “unvaccinated”.

We should ban shooting people too. That’s why this must’ve happened- he didn’t know it was against the law to shoot people.

Yes, I’m sure banning guns will work. No one ever gets shot in places where guns are banned. It literally NEVER happens. Ever.

Only 14% of shootings happen in gun-free zones, FYI.

Given that posted “gun free zones” represent an incredibly tiny, tiny fraction of an entire country, the fact that 14% of shootings occur in them, despite being so small, shows how often shootings occur in them.

What a hero. And what a horrible shame.

The entirety of Washington, D.C. is a “gun free zone”.

A gunman who killed a transit employee and wounded three bystanders at a Washington, D.C., Metro station on Wednesday had a prior assault dismissed last year by a progressive prosecutor.

Court records show Isaiah Trotman was charged with assault and battery in November 2021, only to have those charges dismissed six months later by Albemarle County, Va., prosecutor Jim Hingeley, who won election in 2019 with the help of six-figure contributions from liberal megadonors, including George Soros. Police arrested Trotman on Wednesday and charged him with first-degree murder.

Knowing everything that we know now about the suspect, PP comes off here as super racist making assumptions that it was a homeless person.

It is an assumption that also goes hand-in-hand with this attitude I see frequently that DCs problems are all extrinsic to DC. It’s Congress. It’s the suburbanites stealing the resources. It’s the Maryland drivers. It’s the PG County ATV riders. It’s the other cities sending their homeless. It’s the red states sending their undocumented. Etc. Etc. With the conclusion always that DC would be perfect if not for being afflicted by others. That DC is perfect but victimized by outsiders.
