[quote=jsteele][quote=Anonymous][quote=jsteele][quote=Anonymous][quote=jsteele][quote=Anonymous][quote=jsteele][quote=Anonymous]Jeff deleted mulitple threads about this yesterday. [/quote]

I deleted threads in which the original posters were celebrating the death of the man. That is unseemly and not something that I am going to allow.

OP, that article probably has more details than anything else I have seen about this incident and [b]I've been actively looking for more information. [/quote][/b]

Why? What are you looking for?

I always try to be informed about controversial topics that will be posted here. People post a lot of BS and I like to have some basis for identifying it.

How is it controversial? News reported the man had some sort of club, went after the woman in her own car to try and take the car, and someone else defended her against the attacker with a knife. [/quote]

I guess "controversial" is in the eye of the beholder. Why do you care if I research this topic or not? Don't you have something better to do then worry about what topics I think are controversial?

It’s not “researching” to delete threads on crime incidents. It’s taking part in the growing progressive thing where talking about crime in DC is bad and “promoting crime.”  I’ve personally been called out for mentioning neighborhood crime on a listserv. To these progressives, discussing crime that *actually is happening* is “creating a narrative” that they think is “MAGA,” or something like that. This is the last gasp of the 2020 mania where even whispering a word in public about how police have a role in public safety could get you cancelled. [/quote]

This thread may well be win the award for most surreal responses. I have never characterized the alleged carjacker as anything other than a human being whose death should not be celebrated. Whether you think he is a good or bad person is of no concern of mine. I just don't believe in taking joy in the death of a complete stranger on the basis of one act.

Why you are complaining about deleted threads in a thread that has, in fact, not been deleted is beyond me. I really do not understand why you are upset that I have looked for more information about this event. Obviously several other posters have done the same (unless someone held them down and forced them to read articles to which they then posted links here).

Quite a few of you folks are coming off a slightly insane. Is it seriously your position that I should remain as ignorant as possible about current events in DC?
