[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Street robbery, attempted robbery in upper Northwest stir fresh concern

http://www.washingtonpost.com/local/crime/street-robbery-attempted-robbery-in-upper-northwest-stir-fresh-concern/2015/09/07/e61d7f34-5575-11e5-abe9-27d53f250b11_story.html[/quote]

There was a rash of robberies, with several thugs jumping out of a car to mug someone in a quiet WOTP residential neighborhood, or in another case coming up on a porch to rob friends who were gathered there.  Something drastic needs to be done.[/quote]

Indeed. The Post could help by publishing accurate information about the perps. When the mainstream media cowers away from listing the race of suspects I just assume they aren't white.and they wonder why no one reads newspapers anyone.  From the article's comments section:

"Not once but twice this article described the color of the tool used by the criminal but not the color of the criminal. They described the color of the criminal's wardrobe but not the color of the criminal. They described the color of the telephone the criminal stole but not the color of the criminal. They described the color of the cups the victims were drinking from but not the color of the criminal. 
 
I wonder why they do that."[/quote]

I would think the reason why the Post didn't go into details about the race/color of the suspects in this particular article is because it is a recap of the events not in-depth accounts of the crimes themselves.
The article is about the continued rash of brazen crimes in what is usually a placid part of the District.  If you want details about those specific robberies and the suspects involved try this link also from the Post.

In it this article clearly states that in the robbery reported about 1:30 a.m. in the 3700 block of Harrison Street NW police were told that at least one of the robbers wore a ski mask.  It also clearly states that in the second robbery which was in the 4100 block of Albemarle Street NW, which is near Wisconsin Avenue and the Tenleytown Metro station, police were told that the robbers wore black bandannas, presumably over their faces.

I know you're eager and anxious to expose some prejudicial conspiracy by the Post to deliberately leave out important facts about the race/color of perps to appease the PC police but you might want to look refrain from relying on anything commenters say as fact.  Do your own inquiries/investigations and come to your own conclusions don't piggyback on the perception of others.

Other sources have perp descriptions.  PP acts like the perps were in hazmat suits with shaded googles-no flesh showing. WP could have done a full description.  [/quote]
