Shootings in D.C. last night

(map of shootings)

These are apparently unrelated, random incidents, not related to gang violence. The two guys on Kenilworth Ave. (D) were shot in their car from an overpass. The eight people wounded in (C) were all just standing in front a nightclub when they got gunned down.

Number of people wounded or killed just last night in just the District proper: 14.

Number of Homicides in DC this year 163
Days since last Homicide 0

Number of people killed or wounded by the Beltway snipers over a three-week period last year: 14.

But will last night's violence make the national news? Doubt it.

It's called providing the boots so they can lift themselves by their bootstraps Lindy. Can't do it if you got no boots, you know.

That's what the folks of Gary, Indiana said too.

Government boots don't have straps, friend.
