And the 2 other letters slammed the Wash Post for writing the article: [i] We encourage our fellow residents to reject stone-throwing and instead unite to find meaningful solutions to ensure the safety and liberty of all D.C. residents.

William H. Lamar IV, Washington [/i]

Stone throwing?  DC called a real gun IMITATION to give this perp a break.  Meaningful solution?  This crime life has become a culture for some.[/quote]

Pastor of Metropolitan AME comes out in favor of status quo.  Shocking.[/quote]
