Bizarre, a top pentagon official harasses a nanny on his Capitol Hill block.

Eh, I think this is probably a pretty par for the course punishment. Folks are always shocked at the light (sometimes nonexistent) sentences for well publicized crimes, not realizing the sentence received is usually very normal. That's how you end up with people tortured for years by their neighbors, people with dozens of DUIs, repeat sex offenders, etc. Sentencing for a lot of crimes really isn't all that harsh.

I agree with this. The point of making a deal and letting non-violent, otherwise productive citizens off with light sentences is to not clog up with courts and jails with these guys.

I'm sure drug dealers would appreciate this sort of light sentencing.

Do you have some trouble understanding what PP above said? Happly to break it down for you, slowly.

Before you do, work on your proofreading skills.

I am sure your drug dealing cousins appreciate your sage advice and social commentary.

This awful man continued to harass and bully the family even the day of his arraignment. What a calculated, horrible man.

We live in the city of impunity.

I feel for his family, and I can't help but wonder if his wife is surprised by this.

I wonder how that brief "consultation" with his wife went when cops showed up-"hey, honey-I've been increasingly obsessed with the neighbors nanny, but in a psycho way rather than sexy. Anyway, I'm basically a serial license plate thief at this point and the cops are here so I just need to run out to the car for a sec."

"And you're OK with stalking, right? 'Cause I've totally been doing that too."

What is that?

In DC, this absolutely strikes me as par for the course. People commit way worse crimes than stealing license plates in this city and get comparable sentences. Do people actually dispute this?

Doubtful. I've seen it and it ain't pretty.

Apparently. But better ignore it, it's just the whiners whining, without even realizing what they are talking about.

This guy sounds like he would make a perfect HOA president in Chevy Chase Village.

I had the same thought! This is crazy behavior and he is exhibiting paranoia.

Of course I think his behavior is ridiculous but I didn't think someone like a nanny could use a visitor parking pass every day, presumably month after month. That's essentially what a residential parking permit is, and she is not a resident.

From the article:
"The strange series of events could be viewed as the latest example of the District’s perpetual parking wars, except residents say parking isn’t a problem on their streets and that many babysitters use the visitor passes.

That’s perfectly legal for nannies to do, said Terry Owens, a spokesman for the District’s Department of Transportation."

The nanny and her employers did nothing wrong.

I think the guy is a nut job but it is not legal to do what the nanny is doing unless she has a ROSA exemption.

You are wrong. The VPP placard supercedes the need for a ROSA exemption and can be used for nannies, home health care sides, contractors, visiting guests or relatives. Hell, there's even a black market for them and car windows are routinely broken and passes stolen. There are a surprising number of. vehicles from Maryland and other awards of DC whose drivers display the placard before heading off to catch the Metro. It's also the reason so many Marylsnd and Virginia vehicles are parked all day on the blocks adjacent to USDOT in the Navy Yard.

The irony is that his wife is a DCUM poster. Don't ask how I know.
