Par for the course in DuPont. Everybody knows the vibes have been off for a while there. Adams Morgan is the move

Poor thing! What a story to tell the kids. Remember 18th Street lounge and all the cool spots there? This is terrible

It’s terrible but also terribly funny. It’s crazy.

The crowd at Decades and a few other Dupont area clubs has changed a bit in recent years. Crime in the immediate vicinity, even before this tragedy, has also risen.

Off topic but is this the same Decades club from 25 years ago? I used to go there. I can’t believe it’s still open if it’s the same club. FWIW I never felt unsafe there.

Well, your friend isn't dead, so what do you think this person should be charged with?

Maybe you should go to law school and when you understand enough about mens rea come back and type at us.


What on earth are you babbling about? Maybe you should consider concepts like “attempt” and “reckless”? Signed - a federal prosecutor.

From the police press release:

"Mantock was arrested and charged with Assault with Intent to Kill, Possession of Unregistered Ammunition, and Possession of an Unregistered Firearm."

https://mpdc.dc.gov/release/mpd-quickly-arrests-man-connecticut-avenue-shooting

So DC has really strict gun laws - but their enforcement is useless. This guy had an unregistered illegal gun, shot 6 bystanders because he allegedly got into an argument. And what?

OP, would your friend be willing to contact WaPo or allow you to contact them on her behalf? To have visitors to the city be shot in Dupont - this is big news and should be broadcast far and wide.

DP. The criminal offense in DC is “Assault with intent to kill”.

Because OP put "restorative justice" in her post I do not believe her.

Or she's just a dumbass.

Umm, they don't do "restorative justice" for shooting people.


They also don’t prosecute and jail them like they should.


Yes they do stop lying.
