hard disagree.  Did you even read the article??  In town from Kentucky with mom and brother to attend teacher's conference . . walking to metro at 8am to go to conference after watching fireworks the day before with mom and brother.  This is an unbelievably horrific crime.  DC better get its act together and start holding these criminals to account.  No more catch and release, please.  No more categorizing "youth" offenders that are in their 20s.[/quote]

I have lived in DC for awhile but admittedly don’t know that area too well.  I have gotten lost or taken the ‘long way’ to a destination many times in my travels.  This guy was a tourist so he wouldn’t necessarily know the most direct route to a location or maybe took a few wrong turns.[/quote]

Years ago, I was in Budapest and had gone on a city tour.  At the end of the tour, my friend, another American who was on the tour and I were looking for a restaurant and a guy asked us if we needed help.  We naively followed him off the main street onto a side street.  Luckily, I realized what was happening and yelled to my friend.  We ran as fast as we could back to the main street.  The American we had just met did not run and was pick pocketed but luckily was not injured.  I could see a scenario like that happening.  The young man is looking for the metro; the robber/gunman offers to show him how to get to the metro and leads him onto the campus and off of busy Michigan Ave with the intention of robbing him, which then turns into a senseless murder.

I was thinking it might be something like this as well. I live a few blocks from there and am frequently approached asking for directions to the metro. The entrance is fairly well hidden. [/quote]
