Not only is DC soft on crimes committed by juveniles, DC also make it extremely difficult for parents to discipline their children to prevent such incidents. Go into the middle schools and listen to how the students school each other on what their parents can and cannot do to them. I recall overhearing a twelve-year-old student tell one of his friends to call 911 if his parents hit him or took away his phone. The boys were Waiting to see the dean because they had just picked on another student. I shook my head and kept walking. These kids know the system better than the adults and DC police are complicit. Maybe it’s to ensure MPD will always stay employed, for these kids will grow into the adult penal system. |
Who the hell appointed this loser DA for DC? She sucks!! |
Correct. The only stat the police cannot fudge is the homicide stat. When I was attacked, knocked to the ground and asked for my watch, the MPD classified it as a misdemeanor simple assault. When I asked the officer why it was not an attempted robbery or agg batt, he said because I didn’t have a watch on and I did not see a weapon. Incredulous. MPD only report stats on felonies, so it is in their best interest to mislabel felonies to misdemeanors. |
Please. I am so sick of white people spewing their hatred about African Americans, Black people period. To back in your cave PP. Homophobia is rampant in America period, including among the white population. If it was so acceptable among whites, republican gays and lesbians would step out of their closets and into the sunshine. They would stop hiding in bathroom stalls. |
Yes, including white circles. |
And all the white evangelicals, Baptist and Catholics are so accepting to the white LGBTs. I’m sure your one Black gay friend speaks for all the AA in your mind.
|
You lie. That poster first said it was a hate crime due to race. When it was determined that both victims were black, that poster changed it to gay bashing. The poster then said that the AA community was homophobic, as if her own white community isn’t. |
The point is, as the two or 3 perps caught are juvies, we will never know why, or if they were charged, or what they were charged with. |
|
I am Asian poster. I hate Black thugs, White thugs, Hispanic thugs, Asian thugs and any-other-race-gender-age-disability-sexual-orientation thugs.
And thugs should get their comeuppance and be thrown in prisons. |
|
When’s the last time you saw some white thugs? Or some asian thugs? Or some hispanic thugs? Or some gay thugs?
Not on TV or on the web. In-person only, here in the dc area? Now, when was the last time you saw black thugs here? |
This is DC. I see Latino thugs all the time. |
I’ve seen a group of Asian thugs in both NYC and Virginia. What’s your point. Thugs come in all races. And please, the word thugs was coined by a group of white thugs, so what is PPP attempting to obfuscate? |
In 2007, when white thugs ruined the economy |
| So we still dont know if any understanding will be generated from this case - what happened, what are the consequences, what can happen so tourists not get jumped by groups of young people in the doorway of a major hotel and our city be a nationwide freakshow? |
Really? A nationwide freak show? Lol I know you trying to hammer your point home about how disturbing this incident was but give the overdramatics a rest. It’s not the apocalypse we ain’t at DEFCON 1 and thousands of tourists poor into the city daily who are more stressed about getting directions to the Mall than about getting jumped outside their hotel. Take it down a notch or at the very least stop trying to hype folks up to your level of panic. |
