In the wake of the murder of Alan Senitt, a British national, Metropolitan Police Department Chief Charles Ramsey has declared a “state of emergency” in the nation’s capital.
I blogged about Senitt’s murder earlier this week in Media and Dog-Bites-Man Crimes.
The impetus for the chief’s unprecedented move is the embarrassment of underclass thugs venturing into upscale neighborhoods and murdering relatively high profile people like the late New York Times reporter David Rosenbaum and “Jewish leader” Alan Senitt. The idiot killers, who should get the electric chair, prey on their own people every day in their own father-absent neighborhoods, but that’s standard, dog-bites-man stuff.
I’ll have much more to say on this later, including a call to repeal the ban on handguns so law-abiding D.C. residents can protect themselves from dumb***** who would kill them for the $20 in their pockets.
Later…More from USA Today. Looks like the move isn’t unprecedented at all. According to the AP, this is the third summer in four years that Ramsey has declared a “crime emergency.” Good luck with that!
Update: A quick-thinking and brave 12-year-old scares off five thugs. Repeal the gun ban!
Update II (7/17) : Clarence Page says: “The last time I saw Chris Crowder, he was giving Bill Cosby a hard time for allegedly being too tough on poor black folks…Now Crowder, 44, is dead and I am thinking that Cosby was not hard enough…Some may quarrel with Cosby’s language, but they can’t fault him for speaking the truth.”
Indeed.
Color me shocked! Here’s a story about reality and not some dumbed-down, fantasy world.
