Lesson not learned “Doug”.
“Dear PoPville,
Thought you might enjoy this video of Doug attempting his scam again near 17th and D St. NE. I probably should have let him give his story before calling him out. Oh well.”

From an email:
“I wanted to let you know that Attorney General Karl A. Racine, speaking moments ago at the Mayor-Council Breakfast, announced that our office has begun investigating the Catholic Archdiocese of Washington regarding clergy abuse.
Here is the relevant portion of his remarks:
“While we generally don’t talk publicly about our confidential enforcement activity, I can report that our office has launched a civil investigation into whether the Archdiocese – which is a nonprofit institution – violated the District’s Nonprofit Act by potentially covering up allegations of sexual abuse of minors. According to the law, nonprofits are required to work for a public purpose; if they are in fact covering up child sex abuse, that is clearly not in the public interest. Our investigation brings the count of states with open investigations to 14.”
In addition, AG Racine announced a new portal for victims of clergy abuse in DC to report their abuse to our office. Below is a post about it that has just gone live on our blog (available online here).

Update from MPD:
“MPD is currently investigating an incident that occurred by Watkins Elementary School, at 12th and E Street, SE, shortly before 8:30am.
As our complainant was there to drop a child at school, the complaint observed, what we believe to be a theft from auto. The complainant exited their vehicle and went across the street to ask the suspects, who were in a Honda Fiat, to return the property to the vehicle.
While this discussion was occurring, one of the suspects exited the Honda Fiat vehicle and crossed the street to our complainants vehicle and entered through the drivers side door that was left ajar. Our complainant ran across the street and attempted to get back into the vehicle and was unsuccessful. This vehicle had a 5 year old child in the back seat. The suspect was able to take the vehicle and flee with the child inside. (more…)

Samantha reported around 9pm last night:
“Sounds like rapid gunfire on Lamont St. in Mt Pleasant just now — anyone know what’s going on? Fireworks or at least three rapid-fire gunshots.
Cops are collecting multiple shell cases on Lamont and 17th — searching now in the alley for the shooter who took off running.”
