Marion Barry Robbed at Gunpoint
2006-01-03
Washington D.C. Council Member Marion Barry
[Convicted drug possessor, admited adulterer, admitted tax deliquent]
reported to police last night that he was robbed at gunpoint inside his home by youths who had earlier volunteered to help him carry in his groceries.
Ah, yes, hizzonner, Mayor-For-Life Marion Barry. His mayoralty almost destroyed the city financially, but at least all the yoots had high self-esteem. Now he's enjoying his golden years by screwing up the plans for the new baseball stadium. Pfeh.

#19  We need to make sure the Italian priest who has to prove Christ exists knows about this.

#18  Is that a "pistol cocked in your face" or are you just happy to see me, Rockhead?

#17  Crackhead on crackhead crime is an ugly thing...

#16  "said Barry, 69. "To have a pistol cocked in your face is not something you cannot feel emotional about."

I feel your pain. You will probably now need to go to that same "yoot" and make an illegal purchase to defend yourself. Kinda makes that Ban a bit shortsighted, ehh??

#13  I note that he's a democrat.
Reminds me of the old joke that a republican is a democrat who's been mugged.
Watch for a change in "Religion".

#11  Mike, his position on gun control hasn't changed a bit. He still believes in guns for me but not for thee.

If this really happened (I'm as cynical as CS) he's just wishing for better enforcement.

#7  An appropriate time to drag out my favorite Marion Barry quote:
"Outside of the killings, Washington has one of the lowest crime rates in the country."

#6  Anyone want to bet this was a PR stunt and not an real robbery? Now if they pistol-whipped him and then ransacked his Apartment then maybe I would believe it. I bet they find the kids and he gets them cleared so they can "change" their ways. Side bet that Jesse 'Hustler' Jackson makes a public appeal and the kids turn themselves in to authorities.

#4  Man, how desperate do you have to be to hold up a crackhead?

#3  They were upset with the quality of the crack he gave them?
What gives?
