#1 This article is missing some things normally that's a sign the journalist has censored things so the "little people" don't get stirred up.

#3 Names & motivation.

What was said during the assault.

#5 From the picture at the WaPo it looks like the Pillsbury Doughboy was involved.

#6 BP, Georgetown is a very upper class sort of place, where the liberal elite have really expensive homes and shop at really expensive places. The crime rate there is lower than the average in DC (which would still make it much higher than the national average).

#7 It pegged my suspect meter when I first read it, but looks like just your random street crime. Not an Abdul or Mohammad in the lot.

#8 This is a slightly odd murder, yes. The local news last night showed the court illustrator's pictures of the accused. Two of the men have carefully groomed beards.

#9 Well, at least DC's gun ban certainly helped. The assailant didn't use a gun to commit the crime and the victim didn't have one to protect himself. /sarcasm off. Like calling the police would have helped at the point of confrontation.

#10 Actually, it appears the assailant did have a gun. And if Senitt was campaigning for Warner -- King Moonbat at YearlyKos -- it's unlikely he'd have carried a gun under any circumstances. So the DC gun ban is functioning as expected, but it was also aided by the synergistic effects of natural selection. A pity all round.

#11 It certainly sounds unusual to me. I've never heard of a robbery victim in the US being killed in this way.

#13 D.C./Georgetown:

Today, President Bush called for a timeline on withdrawl of all law enforcement personnel from the D.C. Metro area. Stating that the area was rife with crime, and specifically noting this weekend's attack on a Jooooo Jewish visitor, President Bush called the D.C. area a "quagmire" and demanded the Congress move to enact a timeline for withdrawl of all law enforcement personnel, especially in light of the District's gun ban. "Seeing as how this gun ban has completely disarmed all law-abiding citizens in the District, we call for immediate withdrawl and handing over responsibility of security to the native street thugs," state White House Spokesman, Tony Snow. An anonymous source in the District's police department said that they are now considering mounting .50 caliber rifles and controlling cameras on all street corners in the District. As usual, Marion Berry could not be reached for comment.

#14 Years ago, Washington used to be a reasonably safe place. It has turned into a cesspool over the years. I try to avoid the place as it is not somewhere I feel comfortable traveling without a firearm. Unfortunately, many people have to live and work there. Social experimentation has not worked well for DC.

#15 Well, at least DC's gun ban certainly helped. The assailant didn't use a gun to commit the crime and the victim didn't have one to protect himself.

Reminds me of the Archie Bunker exchange with Meathead over gun control: "Would it make you feel better if they were pushed down the stairs?"

#16 A leftie who almost certainly opposed strict law enforcement found out the hard way why all those mean people on the right want criminals locked up and the key melted. It's a pity it cost him his life but I can think of several--we can start with Schumer and Feinstein--whom I would love to see personally get a clue through something like this. Biter bit, as it were.

#17 Just curious...were these animals black? Seems like most of the mindless, cruel, insane crime in DC is committed by blacks. Not saying anything, just curious....its a legit question.

#19 SU: It's a "chocolate city".... sprinkled with a few nuts up on capital hill.

#20 When a perp is not specifically identified, he's black. We're talking MSM here, no ?
