Thank you to all the bystanders who tried to help this poor woman. What a tragedy.


+1. There are so many crazies walking around. That's why police need to be allowed to rid the streets of homeless people and I don't mind stop & frisk.

Actually I was thinking they both sound like random attacks by mentally ill drug users. WOC get attacked all the time; we just don't hear about. I seriously doubt race played a role, but race is why we're here talking about this murder instead of many others.

This made me think of Iowa State University student-athlete who was just randomly killed while freaking GOLFING on the university golf course!

Apparently the golf course was next to campus and the campus community was allowing all these homeless people to take over their town. Guy living in a tent decided he was going to rape and kill that day, according to another homeless witness.

Alternatively, they have places to go and things to do and don't think that the acceptable alternatives are (1) sit at home or (2) insist on a chaperone.

I was also raised in the belief that girls and women should never go out by themselves after dark because it's not safe. I'm over it.

A) It was 7:30pm. Not late. Basically happy hour time.

B) It was and is a very safe area.

C) Big city? This forum needs to make up its mind. Either DC isn't a true city or it is lol.


I'm very sorrow for her loss and I will go to a public memorial should the family have one.

So sad. Reminds me of Tricia McCauley.

Now news reports are saying a single suspect. My guess is mentally ill/drugs/both.

Somehow this doesn't strike me as a random attack. Those guys went looking for that woman (or someone who looks like her).

I hope they catch them soon.

I hope that the murderers are American citizens so that we can try to address the problem of violence in our society without turning this into an immigration political football.

What a strange sentence (for multiple reasons) in the middle of an otherwise rational post.


+1 Very odd sentiment.
