There has been nothing else reported about any previous malicious acts. PPs who are skewering this guy are the ones telling the defenders to leave the conversation, questioning the defenders' morals, and making immature insults (his hair dye or frog face). No defender has done any of that. Makes me question their motives just like I question the wapo article's motive. I bet this guy pissed a lot of people off and now they are all out to get him. Based on the current information that's been reported, I think he deserves to be punished but not pilloried.

I've posted that I think there may be mental illness or alcoholism at the heart of this, but it's not that difficult to understand why people are upset by the man's actions. The fact that he's a high-level government official make it more alarming and that's the reason it was worth a story in the WaPo. Their motive is their purpose: news.

Maybe white people who commit crimes are just sociopaths or just people who have committed crimes... why do we need to have an excuse for their behavior like mental illness. Perhaps he just did something stupid and got caught. It's funny to me how out of the way people are going trying to make up reasons why he may have done this.

I thought sociopathy was a mental illness. But I may be wrong.

Personality disorder that most executives and sales people have, would not call it a mental illness persay as people here are claiming this man has. Personality disorder vs mental illness is a slippery slope. Do you think a narcissist is mentally ill or just an asshole and is being a narcissist an excuse for horrible behavior?

THIS. No excuse. None. He needs to be responsible for his actions. He is an adult. He is "well" enough to hold a job. He got caught. Too bad for him. He needs to never do this again, or anything like it.

He has to self report this and if he doesn't and it is read in the paper first he is going to have some questions to answer. He could lose his clearance and thus lose his job. If he does stuff like this he shouldn't have a clearance. Psych problem out of control.

It is psychopathic behavior - he is delusional. He needed to have report it at work, and he didn't. So that makes him a psychopath AND a liar.

There is good reason why this book is so popular.

Oh, FFS. He's an affluent DoD spokesperson who was picking on some poor immigrant childcare worker who dared to park near his million-dollar house.

Is DCUM changing its view on what makes someone affluent? I'm sure hr lives comfortably with his family but he's at best a well-paid UMC bureaucrat even after factoring in his military retirement pay. It's the Hill, not Spring Vslley or Kalorama.

Are you kidding? His house is probably worth $1.3 million.

You're not in real estate, are you?

You're not familiar with the Hill, are you?

Take a look at the sales price of 101 E Street SE and compare the square footage and frontage with the Whitman home. Then look at recent comps for the two other homes on that very unique block of 1st Street with no off-street parking. They didn't crack $1 million even with Brent pixie dust. I'll stand by my conclusion that you don't know much about valuing real estate on the Hill. I'll eat my words if the Whitman home has 24k gold commodes and diamond encrusted ceilings and a buyer who's longing to look out at a derelict building and a nanny's minivan.
