Yet another kid killed…
Anyone who has been paying attention to the local news this year knows that DC has seen way too many kids die this year as a result of gun violence. The latest victim was a 15 year old girl, Myesha Lowe, who was sitting in a car with friends in a residential neighborhood in NE when a car pulled up next to them and started shooting. One of the other kids killed this year was sitting watching tv in her aunt’s living room; another was sitting on a porch when a stray bullet wounded her. There have been a lot of kids hurt this year in DC.
Compare this to the mayor’s push in the last year or so to encourage more people to move into the district. Incidentally, I believe his focus is on attracting young singles and empty nesters.
Meanwhile, Congress is considering not renweing the ban on assault rifles. WTF?
Guns of all sorts are pretty much illegal in DC. See how much good it’s done?
