Anyone know what was going on at 10th and I street NE? There were about 7 cops standing in the street, 3 cruisers and an ambulance on the street. I didn't see any bad guys, just a ton of good guys.
Woman who doesn't live on block passed out and not breathing on sidewalk being "assisted" by drunk/messed up guy that doesn't live on block. Neighbors called it in when couldn't resuscitate the woman, because drunk/messed up dude wouldn't move away from the woman. Have no idea if she's okay, but the drunk was allowed to leave the scene. I stress doesn't live on block because those of us that do really appreciate what a great block we have and don't really accept being a dumping ground for the possibly dead.
The first order of business should be to ascertain the race of the shooter(s). Only then can we move forward with a fruitful discussion about the cause of the shooting and the prevention of further shootings! Right, Anonymous??
I am requesting the removal of Dolemite's post made at 11:10 AM. No previous poster even alluded to race and his comment does not move this discussion anywhere.
So impatient, Anonymous. Give it time. Just give it time...
"...and his comment does not move this discussion anywhere."
If that were the standard for censoring comments, Inked would have to spend her whole day removing posts. Besides, I don't think she wants to get involved in limiting the free expression of snark :)
I read the comment as being facetious (i.e., a slight to the people who harp on race as opposed to a specific race). Pretty funny, imho. -Alexander Supertramp
unless it was gil's gold 45, i bet the gun was black. somebody should look into why no matter what race the animal is, the gun is almost always black. (wood handled rifles are too quaint to discuss). inked, i didn't get your e mail until this morning. someone should be in around 4 -430 today. tonyt the pug
Or if it's Bullet Tooth Tony's desert eagle point five O (also not black). You see people. No matter the color of the gun, it can still be scary. And if it's pointed at your face, it's definitely a problem. In that situation, the color of the gun is the least of your problems.
can't believe i forgot chrome! how post racial, and blingy. if you can bring some humans around who act up, and use even post racial guns for things other than shooting targets, that aren't animals, i'll buy you a shot. of course dolemite, you went with the black beer. how about a pale ale for once? sheesh! if you come to the pug, no black label for you. tonyt
two months ago a young woman who is 8 months pregnant was brutally attacked at 4th and G. Her two year old child hit the pavement and went to the hospital for stitches on his forehead. Please explain to me how these assailant(s)are not animals?
People need to start carrying their handguns with them. Once we start putting holes in the chests of these idiots word will spread and they will stop. Armor up people!
yes i definitely think armor and more guns are the way to go. however since i am a small business man with little extra cash and crappy health insurance, i will continue to use what i have always used to solve problems. whisky. i get them too drunk to focus and aim, and i get myself drunk enough to be a wobbly target. tonyt the pug
All the posts on this seems to be a little negative on site right now. Do you have any updates on all the great new places that are opening on H St to cheers us all up? Although H St does have some problems there are some great things coming down the pike that we can look forward to.
Did one of the gunshots hit Inked? When is Tony from the Pug going to get his own blog? Does anyone else strictly shop at Unik Style? Is it still vigilante justice if you go about it sniper style? When will the Hess start selling milk? Why are Murray's chicken nuggets so incredible? Isn't Alex thebartender just absolutely dreamy? How bout them Mountaineers? Go Team Neighborhood!
until the comment about alex being dreamy, i don't think the comments were really negative. i think what you're hearing is fear, confusion, anger, and hope. we live in a city where 59% is not the majority and in a neighborhood that is under attack by busloads of albino, asian, doctoral candidates who are mugging and carjacking only white folks. through it all the residents, business owners, and inked are struggling to add to the historical legacy of this neighborhood. occasionally an insane person who thinks alex is dreamy or that the mountaineers stand a chance against villanova makes a post on FT but mostly what your hear is a neighborhood evolving. soon enough, a pizza shop, a pie shop, a noodle shop, a diner, an eyetalian restaurant, and maybe a mexican joint. tonyt the pugs
I've sadly given up on the pie shop. I think it was all a mean ploy to tease my love of pie and then leave me crustless and weeping in front of the perpetually papered store front.
Yeah, carry, great idea. After all, knowing the other thugs they mix it up with might be armed sure does act as a deterrent to violent crime already.
Put guns in the hands of all the soft targets and what will you get? Not this Libertarian wet dream/hallucination of gun enforced peace on the streets...you'll get the same criminals shooting first and then just taking your wallet off your body.
I know you're a big, tough, strong, carrying man, but there's no getting around the fact that the offense knows what play is going to be run. So unless you're walking around pointing your piece at everyone who might be armed, it's not going to be long before you're a big, tough, dead man w/ a gun in his belt.
Guys, please be polite. Remember that these people are your neighbors. I ask also that anonymous users leave some kind of tag [e.g. big green cat] for the sake of being able to follow a thread. Be respectful and have fun.
Did you phone them in?

ReplyDeleteI heard them too but I was not sure exactly where they were coming from so I was reluctant to call them in.

ReplyDeletethey were definitely black.

ReplyDeletetony,
ReplyDeleteallow me to introduce you to the world of chrome firearms, which are (gasp!) not black.
in next week's episode, i will introduce you to the use of a word other than "animals" to describe human beings
Yes, please don't insult animals based on the behaviors of some human beings.
