Most of us with a brain don’t. We stick to the sports pages and never read the editorials.

The lives of the two men intersected tragically at about 9:30 p.m. Thursday when Hicks, armed with a pistol and joined by two other men, tried to rob Piedra inside the popular pizzeria at 89th Avenue and International Boulevard.

The only tragedy is that this scumbag's criminal career wasn't ended sooner.

He wanted to play for the Bullets.

I remember a press conference a few years back at the office of the Washington Bullets, where they said that their current name was causing people to associate their team with violent crime, so henceforward the team would be known as the "Landover Bullets"...

The tragic thing is the shop owner shot his own son...

Piedra may have accidentally shot and wounded his 17-year-old son...

It's been a few days now,I don't know why they haven't got the ballistics on the bullet that hit the son.

In the chaos, Piedra may have accidentally shot and wounded his 17-year-old son, who was not seriously injured, police said.

The kid was not seriously injured. This is not a tragedy. It is unfortunate, but no big deal.

“We want citizens to be good witnesses, to be good report-takers and to identify suspects.”
cop says lie down, bend over, get on your knees and get killed. We’ll come in, take pictures, make a report, and try to catch the bad guys who killed you. We’ll also say how sorry we are to your family.

- no thanks. I’d rather have a gun and blast the crook away, thus saving my life and eliminating the world of a low life.

Throughout history peoples’ names have become words in the dictionary. Volt, Watt, Roentgen, and Newton for example.
There was a deserter radio host in WWII named Quisling. It has since become a synonym for a treasonous person. There was a gal in 1982 who was shown on the Today Show predicting Reagan’s attempted assassination. The show was later proved to have been taped after the shooting. Her name was Tamara Rand. Ed McMahon later coined the term ‘A Rand prediction.’ The infamous Dr Mudd, who treated John Wilkes Boothe, is the source of the term ‘your name is Mudd!’ We all know the story about how John Crapper patented a toilet in Britain, and now ‘Going to the John’ and ‘Taking a Crap’ are common terms, to say the least.

Maybe our kids will someday speak of ‘a Boonie ambush.’ We can all figure out what that means.
He was an ignoranus. You can figure out what that means.
