D.C. passes 100 homicides for 2014 with 4 killed over unusually violent holiday
Washington Times ^ | 12/25/14 | Andrea Noble

Posted on 12/25/2014 5:18:31 PM PST by Libloather

The District surpassed 100 homicides for the year in the course of an unusually violent Christmas Eve that saw five people killed — including one by police after he opened fire on officers.

The city recorded four homicides in less than six hours resulting from separate incidents that spanned from the outside of a bar in the Petworth neighborhood of Northwest to the Barry Farm housing complex in Southeast. Metropolitan Police Department officers also shot two men within the same time period, killing one and wounding another.

A police spokesman was not able to verify on Thursday the total number of homicides that have occurred in the District this year, but unofficial counts put the number at 102. That figure does not include the police-involved shootings.

No protests planned. Maybe MSNBC should announce their names every night - just like during the Iraq war. Sharpton could do it.

Guess when the hood kills the hood there is no need to riot. Just when white cops shoots a thug robbing a store or murdering someone does a riot come about.

They could probably lower that number if they just dumped the bodies across the borders in MD or VA. Hey, if no one is watching, just load them up in the trunk of the squad card, drive a few blocks and dump them out-of-city and then scream about the loose gun laws in neighboring areas!

Is dope smoking legal in D.C. now?

If so, isn’t that supposed to “chill” things?

Is “unusually” anything like “unexpectedly?”

Clearly, DC needs strong gun-control laws. Oh, wait.

Hope and change. I’m willing to bet that within 24 hrs the shooting by the cop will have been of an “unarmed black man”. Facts don’t matter anymore.

Charles Manson might just get to see his dream of a race war come true.

It’s OK if the killers are black.

I guess they were all black-on-black, black lives don’t matter, murders.

The black community is perfectly okay and accepting of black-on-black murders.

They project the self-defense killings of blacks by non-blacks as the sole reason all the blacks are dying, totally forgetting over 93% of black deaths are at the hands and guns of other blacks.

Just saw this on Drudge today, so 48 hours out on the story. I Googled the info and found only 5-6 articles, none with any details. Fox had the most with a video. I went to the AP site and searched it....nothing; NY Times.....nothing. WaPo short piece with no info. ABC, NBC, CBS, CNN, MSNBC, HUFPUFF, USA TODAY....nothing.

So I Googled “Berkeley Missouri police shooting” and found over 200 articles, with profound detail, from all the above sources, plus many obscure sites I’ve never heard of.

Interesting. Wonder if the media will ever get around to disclosing an details.

Just 100? When I was working in the war zone of Anacostia in 1991, they were over five times that.
