My house was built over 100 years ago, like many rowhouses in DC. Anything built before 1970 has lead in it. Yet, my children are not super-preditors. Instead they are scholars, musicians, and athletes.
Go Trump.
Did the lead affect your ability to spell "predator"? But I'll nevertheless assume that your home is better maintained than most public or Section 8 housing where flaking paint or antiquated piping is an issue that affects development. By the way, lead wasn't banned as a paint additive until 1978. Your racist asshole routine isn't clever.

Gee, where do we think all these cheap and readily-obtainable guns are coming from? Not our "black Mayor" nor our "black President." We don't expect you to care because you're just another deplorable who is incapable of thinking beyond the color of someone's skin.
Very funny, it's the guns who are magically killing people.
Deplorable is stupid you and stupid criminals.
I'm just a law abiding citizen. Sorry to hear your parents neglected you, leaving you in such sorry state.

The title of the thread is addressing the anomaly of the ones that are gun crimes being bargained down to "imitation" gun charges (in a city that prides itself on gun control). These crimes include carjackings, assault, home invasions, stabbings, street robberies -some committed with guns, others with fists, knives, actual imitation guns and even a brick against the head (of a postal worker).

And the 2 other letters slammed the Wash Post for writing the article: 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.

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.

I really hate it when the environment gets all racist. It needs some fricking diversity training!!
Why is Chicago known for so much crime, as opposed to Indiana's cities?
now inner-city youth are driving to Indiana to get their guns?
My suggestion is for you to lay off the drugs. Mellow out some. You're obviously not of sane mind.
