| Assailant turned victim was pronounced dead at the scene. He was identified as Davon Jones. Apparently according to the police, he fought the car owner for 72 seconds before the good samaritan/assailant interceded and apparently in the eyes of DC laws should have just asked the original perpetrator to stop. |
Cops were prosecuted for chasing a suspect on a scooter who died. A resident was prosecuted for shooting a kid breaking into cars on his block. Meanwhile two-thirds of arrests, including those arrested for violent crimes are not prosecuted and almost everyone that is proscuted, including those prosecuted for violent crimes are not remanded into custody. Which leaves many free to commit more violent crimes while they are awaiting trial for other violent crimes. But try to enforce order. Try to prevent your community from falling into chaos. Try to protect yourself and your property and the government will drop a brick on you. |
According to DC law enforcement, whatever possessions we think we have today only exist at the whims of young men (and women!) who have the right to decide that it’s theirs at any moment and we are obliged to give it to them. |
1. Cops were prosecuted for mishandling evidence and lying about the circumstances of Karon Hylton Brown's being chased on a 17mph scooter, one officer had numerous illegal acts on his record as well. 2. The "resident" was a youth worker who shot an unarmed child and lied to police about it. A child who screamed, "please dont I am a kid I am 12" before he was killed. Karon Blake. The resident is currently home watching netflix awaiting trial while Karon's body rots in the dirt. 3. Please cite the source. |
Had 13yo not been in the process of steeling cars, he simply would not have been shot. Running and saying I am a kid, really does not change the situation much. Another sad case, but entirely avoidable. But who knows, maybe Karon's first ever stolen car. |
2 - The resident shot a kid who, after breaking into his car, was running towards him at 4 in the morning. Are you saying the kid would not have hurt him if he'd gotten to him? |
He was riding in a stolen car. It wasn't his first rodeo. |
Actually no, the officer who initiated the chase was found guilty of second degree murder. |
WHOA WHOA WHOA, we can't let someone's priors influence any consideration of a current case. |
The Post had a detailed story on this. Try to keep up. |
Dollars to doughnuts that a major artery got nicked or, less likely, a lung punctured. If you hit a major artery, that blood is under pressure, and it takes just minutes to exsanguinate and die. I think it's most likely that the person doing the stabbing was not intending this full outcome in the moment, just trying to do something, and it ended up with a fatality. |
Yes, DC would rather write up a police report and have you contact your insurance company than figure out how to prevent carjacking and other auto theft. This case now is simply a huge inconvenience for DC. |
Yes, carjackings are swept under the rug. Killing isn't the hero's crime. Embarrassing the city is. |
Perhaps they shouldn’t celebrate that the guy actually died but I think it’s worth celebrating citizens standing up to the plague of violent crime in this city and intervening against this criminal |
+100 How many videos have we seen that show someone being assaulted and people standing around watching or capturing it on their phones but nobody comes to the aid of the person? |
