That's pretty damned far for Metro to run. Commuter rail that ran all the way to Union Station would probably better service Front Royal, maybe with a transfer at East Falls Church.

I'm fairly sure that the Westover Beer Garden will have it on inside - they've been showing other games thusfar.

I really dislike cars, but acting as if shootings on metro are no big deal because traffic is kind of looney tunes.

> This time last year a lot of people were staying at home due to omicron

If I remember correctly, homicides were actually up pretty severely the first three or four months of 2022, and it was only a major drop later in the year that led to an overall decline. If that is the case, then this sharp rise in homicides is even more alarming.

He is asking why the OAG isn’t providing evidence of the efficacy of its diversion programs.

“Ha ha I’m just kidding why are you mad bro”

Do you think being acerbic towards strangers on the internet helps sway them towards your viewpoint in any way whatsoever?

> Presumably if this wrongfully shot man was "reaching" for something, it would've been a pipe

There's absolutely no reason to assume that. You assume that the officer was still looking for the original suspect, when it is entirely possible that he arrived at the scene and found a completely different incident.

> But we don't even know if he was reaching for anything or what the cop said, because cops lie all the time

This might shock you but criminals lie too! Except cops wear bodycams, so we'll see.

Oh sorry, I responded to the wrong comment. My bad.

I'd recommend you read the MPD general order around the use of force. Again, once we see the body cam footage we will be able to determine if the victim was actively threatening the officer, the driver of the car, or someone else. Probably best to just withhold judgement until we do.

> The person wasn't armed

> > Police said no weapon has been recovered

Weird how you left out the second half of the sentence: "Police said no weapon has been recovered, though they noted they have not yet found the vehicle"

I'm withholding judgement until there's more information available.

Do you have a source for this? Because everything I have read states literally the opposite, that increasing housing supply reduces cost increases on existing housing.

Sounds like you should hop on a bike, plenty of room in the bike lane.

I used to live fairly close to there. You see a ton of wild driving around 14th & Colorado and up from there. Just a total lack of fucks given.

Most if not all council candidates face primary challenges.

Out of grim curiosity, where along 14th was this?

40 pedestrians and cyclists were killed by drivers in DC in 2021. Black people are significantly more likely to be killed by drivers than white people. Get a fucking clue about what you're talking about you dipshit.

you can go on Facebook Marketplace and find them right now. The fact that no state has sued Facebook about this yet is absolutely bonkers to me.

The way people drag race down Maine Ave and M St, I wouldn't want to be on one of those dinky little things on the street.
