Fox News gets it wrong, again. The cowards who beat and tied up my wife got their own beating when I came home and were chased off after I fought with them. They did not remain behind after our encounter. The wine bottle was just an introduction to the punks who thought they could force their way into my home uninvited. No more home break-ins since then, huh?

To all the well wishers and sympathizers who have been victims of violent crimes, my wife and I thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

To all the anonymous posters who question the veracity/details of this incident, FUCK YOU. I was protecting my home and family, more than they would have done, I’m sure. They wouldn’t even post here as themselves. What are the posters hiding? There are many details I will not discuss due to the ongoing investigation by MPD.

We’re still here and we’re not going anywhere either. We are not afraid of these thugs. All of LeDroit Park (black, white, green, orange, yellow, blue) will remain strong, undivided, and undistracted by this fake gangster fuckery.

I was mugged at gun point last Sunday around the fairly busy U Street corridor. I don’t know whats going on lately. Every time I turn around, I’m hearing 10x more crap like this going down.

No coincidence. This is the same description for the two armed robberies that happened near Kenyon & 13th on 1/27 @ 8:00pm.

1. Rockville is a city, not an ‘unincorporated town’. It is in fact the third largest city in the State of Maryland.

2. There is no such thing as an ‘unincorporated town’ in Maryland. Towns and cities in Maryland are, by definition, incorporated.

3. ‘North Bethesda’ is neither a town nor a city, but rather an unincorporated, census-designated place.

You are sooo wrong. D.C. Code § 22-801. Burglary. Definition and penalty. (a) Whoever shall, either in the nighttime or in the daytime, break and enter, or enter without breaking, any dwelling, or room used as a sleeping apartment in any building, with intent to break and carry away any part thereof, or any fixture or other thing attached to or connected thereto or to commit any criminal offense, shall, if any person is in any part of such dwelling or sleeping apartment at the time of such breaking and entering, or entering without breaking, be guilty of burglary in the first degree. Burglary in the first degree shall be punished by imprisonment for not less than 5 years nor more than 30 years.

Of all the houses to break into on the block, it’s unusual to have it be the one where the guy is coming home in the middle of the night, but still in the middle of the crime at 3:30 am.

You could be right, it could be random. But, that 3-some who killed the US attorney on Swann St tried to pretend it was an intruder, and all evidence (or lack thereof) pointed to them.

“Special relationship” is their attempt to distill legal jargon into a publically digestible format. A duty doesn’t form between a police officer and a victim of a crime until the police officer tells the victim he is going to help, or the victim has some reasonable expectation the officer will help, for example.

I remember reading a case where some people ran up to a cop standing on a corner and said “we just saw a woman get grabbed, pulled into a car, and kidnapped! the car went that way!” and the police officer said “okay!” so the reporting couple left. When the cop did nothing to help the kidnapped woman, the court held that there was no duty extending from the police officer to the kidnapped woman because she had no indication that help was on the way, and therefore would not have modified her behavior.
