Any of us could be driving down the street. Waiting to pick up a child or spouse from work. Shot in broad daylight in "safe" areas of town.

This is no way to live. [/quote]

What. The. F*ck. [/quote]

The poor man yesterday was picking his wife up from work from an office building on K St. NW. Was in the WP. Think that man died. Someone else was shot being carjacked in NoMA, early evening yesterday, think he is critical.

Someone was also robbed last Friday later afternoon in front of Kramers, then after cooperating, was beaten by men who had guns and knives. Also, broad daylight, super warm, had to be tons of people around.

It's surreal. And I used to work on that block on Connecticut IN THE 90s and no one was getting shot or violently assaulted at 4:30 in the afternoon. Prosecution rates are in the 30s by USAO, in 90s were in the 70s. So, now, witnesses, broad daylight, under a camera, they don't care, they know their chances are 2 in 3 to be no papered, otherwise, plead way down. Yesterday someone was sentenced to a measly 11 years for MURDER.

I am going to give to the Recall Allen campaign. It's one way to get the attention of the people on the Council in real time if it has broad support.  [/quote]
