[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So three shootings (two murders) in two weeks within a few blocks in NW and there have been no police updates let alone arrests?

Unbelievable...I think

Not all that unbelievable.  
You're focusing on the class of the area ... (GASP!! In NW - Oh the horror!!!)
Lol, that's not a cause of concern for cops.
What's the class of the victim?  That's what matters.
That's why there's been no updates let alone arrests.
Don't forget what country we're living in.
People with dark skin are a permanent underclass here, remember.[/quote]

I am not concerned with the 'class' of the area. Anomalies and new patterns should draw attention from active, engaged politicians and detectives. Gang beefs and drug trafficking violence should be addressed, but we also know it is predictable in some ways and cyclical and so resources are being deployed towards it. When a new trend emerges, like the spate of delivery trucks being boosted all over town right now, the rise in carjackings and theft, random people shot pumping gas in a 'quiet' (generally homicide free neighborhood), babies shot in cars, and the overall surge in ILLEGAL gun violence in DC this year--yes, we press for specific action and redress. It is a new trend. Is it being addressed?[/quote]

If white people start getting shot yeah... it'll get addressed.[/quote]

This "only white crimes are investigated and solved 'take'" on DCUM is so tired and old.

There is no discrimination in the lack of council action or police action.

There has been no update on the three NW shootings because that is the best way to get the story out of the papers.

There was never an arrest in the Seth Rich murder.

As another poster stated, if you cannot see how the fact that there were three shootings within six blocks is an outlier, it makes me wonder if in fact you might be working the investigation. It would explain the lack of progress. /s

I had heard that the Friendship Height murder was a pot pup up party gone bad and not related in any way to the other two. It is the other two, the Wis shooting and Connecticut Ave murder than may have been related and there has not been word one about.
