A 14-year-old boy was shot repeatedly early yesterday morning, and a 23-year-old woman was shot in the face during a robbery on Tuesday.
Oh good. The cops who interrogated Tion Jamaar Bell -- the guy who fired a stray bullet that hit a 4-year-old Columbia boy as he played in his living room -- didn't read him his Miranda rights.
An Iraq veteran who lost an arm and a leg in the war was mugged with his wife in Bethesda.

Tip to criminals: if you're going to shoot at people in a car, make sure they're not undercover cops.
Violent prison gangs? Who'd'a thunk it?

What was the 14-year-old doing out on the streets at 2 a.m. on a Thursday?
What are the odds that the embezzler will, upon getting out of jail, repay over $800,000 in stolen money? what kinds of jobs do they offer convicted thieves with mediocre grades from a third-rate college? I do find it refreshing that she didn't blame it on drug addiction.
maybe we should consider what DC has done and institute a 10 pm curfew for minors.
Yeah, but the difference is that DC politicians are willing to admit they have a crime emergency.
Tell your councilman that the level of crime is nowhere near acceptable (unless of course you're happy with it.)
Request that the Council adopt a resolution demanding the hiring of many more police officers. (yes, mr. commissioner, in this lifetime.)
I'm definitely way late with this but did anyone see this?

"...but the National Institute of Justice, the research division of the US Department of Justice, has estimated that as many as 80 percent of prisoners, probationers and parolees have drug- or alcohol-related problems."
I think part of the reason for the decrease in drug overdoese deaths is the use of a new drug to treat an overdose. It was mentioned in a different article on this topic a while back. I think the drug was called Parvo. I'm surprised the Post didn't look into it.
The one used hereabout is called Narcan, but its generic name is naloxone. A 10ml multi-use vial of 0.4mg/ml naloxone costs less than $3.00 when purchased generically.
As a statistical matter, the high fallout rate among addicts used to keep a cieling on the length of addiction and therefore contributed to the age-crime curve's falloff. Narcan may help flatten it, which translates to more criminals over time.

Parvo? isn't that some kind of affliction dogs get?

And we do have a curfew. It's just not being enforced much, apparently.
