[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You have said his name. Do you have any information about Mr. Nwogu's murder or are you just making this about you.[/quote]

I'm making this about him. This could be any of our children, pumping gas. Like the other children shot and injured or killed in DC this year. Maybe I'm old-fashioned, but the fact that he was a guest in our country makes him especially deserving of hospitality and protection. This is a selfish and heinous crime against an innocent and promising young man, his family and our DC family.[/quote]

This is a tragedy but why would he deserve more ‘protection’ than any other person?  Everyone deserves to live their life free from violence.[/quote]

I'm not going to quibble the above--it's just an emotion I feel regarding the circumstances of what happened. His parents sent him here to be educated, entrusted us/our country with him. He was our guest. It makes me feel horrible to think of this befalling a guest in a place they should feel totally safe--a well lit gas station on a major avenue in our city, the nation's capitol. If we do want to discuss words, I think we need a different word than tragedy? Tragedy, in the Greek sense, connotes inevitability and the fates . This was a heinous crime and an active choice on the part of the perpetrator.[/quote]

Should the criminals ask citizenship of their victims?   It is a sad story for the city.  It is shameful that the leadership of the city let the criminals do whatever they want.[/quote]
