"We were not expecting this, but we had a heavy police presence," Cmdr. Reese said in an evening press conference.
The Easter Monday event for black families across the region grew out of a grassroots community tradition more than 100 years ago.

I was thinking gang as well but what do I know. It could have been a rumble between the gardening club versus the knitting circle.
It’s like a rap concert. You know someone is going to break out the violence and let it fly!
This place is a zoo!
Do Easter bunnies carry AK-47s?
Shouldn’t they all be in school or at work on a Monday?
Ah yes, that one day during the year in DC when the most dangerous animals at the zoo are outside of the cages.
The Urban Feral in all their glory. Clearly someone was “dissed” and deserved to be shot for their lack of appropriate respect.
Tribal warfare.
Truly, America is rushing towards third world status.
“We were not expecting this, but we had a heavy police presence,”
Translating from the NewSpeak:
“We were expecting something like this which is why we had a heavy police presence.”
What the hell is that?

Police are looking for a white-african-American as the perpetrator.
Terayza? Charlize Theron?
