Washington D.C. Deputy Mayor Held up at Gun Point

excerpted from the article,

The man in charge of fixing the District's ailing schools might be more focused this week on another troubled aspect of the city -- public safety -- after he was robbed at gunpoint in broad daylight while walking home from the Metro.

Somehow, I don't think he will change his mind about gun control.

 

[fletcher]

Of course not. This just means that guns aren't banned enough in DC already.

"He was pretty lucky," police Cmdr. Hilton Burton said, noting robberies can end in violence.

Not if you give the thug(s) what he wants... right?

 

[strat81]

So did the Deputy Mayor wave his finger at the bad guy and say "No no! That gun is illegal. You aren't allowed to have it!"???

Only in DC

Hmm, only in D.C. Now what about that Parker ruling ?

 

[RockyMtnTactical]

Oh, how sweet the irony is...

 

[tasco 74]

my thought exactly rockymtntactical.........................

 

[SigSauer228]

Yup, irony at it's best. All we need now is for Bloomberg to experience the same thing in his great city. *rolls eyes*

 

[El Tejon]

Quick, make guns triple illegal in D.C.

 

[theken206]

oh the ironing- homer simpson

 

[obxned]

True justice.

Duplicate... Gun control (not) at work in DC

I especially love that a guard wouldn't let him in to his own building and he had to be vouched for by a REPORTER!

You reap what you Sow...

 

[Black Adder LXX]

Wow... I guess they need more gun control...

 

[Dave Dembinski]

From reading the article it's obvious that guns aren't the problem. It's teenagers in pink shirts that need to be banned!

 

[foghornl]

Not to wish misfortune (and/or other bad things) on folks, but sometimes, when some certain people get their 'come-uppance', well ya just gotta smile a little.....

 

[romma]

Being a victim robbed at gun point sucks, I know this personally. Maybe it will open some eyes, but probably not.

 

[Glockman17366]

Yeah...they'll probably give him an armed security team now...more tax dollars down the drain.

I wonder where he was when this happened...was he on his way to buy crack?

Romma, if you think this will open any eyes with Fenty's lads...well, I'm sure it will just result in more anti-rights venom from Fenty and his hoodlums.

 

[Detachment Charlie]

I love my sig line #2.

 

[DoubleTapDrew]

Solution: Raid more FFL dealers! That'll stop those crooks with their stolen guns!

 

[Rugerman99]

oh sweet sweet irony. Just one more piece of evidence that gun control does not work.

"Wisdom is justified by her children" - Jesus

I guess the 'children' of his brand of wisdom is to be unarmed when facing a threat to his very life...
I guess the taxpayers will have to pay extra for security for him... that's... fair...

 

[vis-à-vis]

haha. But DC is a gun free zone!!! What's the world coming to when criminals don't live by the rules!

 

[MDW GUNS]

I bet you he will call in a press comferance and claiming, that in fact that happend in VA!

 

[BBQJOE]

Don't those stupid criminals know that guns are illegal?
There ought to be a law!!!!!
