Last week I joked that I was doing the show live without any clothes on in Washington, DC to show the total disregard for law and order. Below are some real stories to show how bad the crime is in DC!
Iraqi immigrant calls DC a “warzone.”
A routine Uber pick up turned violent over the weekend in D.C. after shots rang out and a driver was caught in the crossfire
FOX 5’s Melanie Alnwick says the driver told her he was near the Cathedral of St. Matthew, about a block from Connecticut Avenue, when suddenly his SUV was sprayed with bullets.
Both of the passengers inside took cover. Neither were injured. The driver sustained some minor injuries due to the broken glass.
The terrifying moments were caught on video by the Uber driver’s vehicle cameras. The driver can be seen ducking and a weapon being fired can be seen through the rear window. The driver told FOX 5 that he left Iraq because of the war, yet he feels like he’s back in a war zone when in D.C. He told Alnwick that he is not able to work because of the damage to his vehicle and because of his nerves. He showed Alnwick several bullet holes in his windshield.
-Hopefully, Uber pays for the repairs on his car and the PTSD he’s suffering. But; Uber treats their drivers like shit. We are considered contractors. We are getting robbed, assaulted, killed and carjacked and Uber (and Lyft) remain silent. This crimewave has put a dent in my pocket as I now only either pick up in Virginia to DC or pick up in DC going to Virginia. Very rarely I will pick up and drop off in DC only, and there are certain areas I will not go, period! These are the same neighborhoods that have issues with “teens” and “Democrats.” Years ago they were called “Canadiens.”

Security is being ratcheted up on the D.C. campus of Howard University, after several students were randomly and viciously attacked this weekend by a group of teenagers, known to police for their troublemaking.
Videos posted on social media this weekend showed the melee, in which Howard students were injured outside a residence hall — two victims managed to escape the violent mob of about 15 or more teenagers while another one of the victims was stabbed in the back, according to NBC4 Washington.
With nearly 250,000 views as of Tuesday evening, one TikTok user describing herself as a sophomore journalism student said that one victim was “left to die on the concrete” as security walked away.
“We’ve been tracking these juveniles, not only on our campus, but also throughout the District as well, over the summertime. They’re part of a fight club. They go to restaurants to instigate fights,” said Dr. Tashni-Ann Dubroy, executive vice president and chief operating officer of the school, at an emergency town hall on safety Tuesday.
“And the reason why it escalated so quickly and became viral is because that’s part of their strategy. That’s part of what they do,” she added.
This isn’t the most recent act of violence on the HBCU’s campus. Last month, a man doing work on the campus was shot and killed during an attempted robbery.
-I can’t believe this occurred at the alma mater of our greatest Vice-President since Spiro Agnew! Again; there’s that word “teenagers.” The parents paying the tuition for Howard should raise Holy hell! I don’t have to worry about campus security for my youngest! They won’t be going to college because their father is a deadbeat!
And now:
People just don’t care anymore! There is no consequences for one’s actions! And police will not stop it because their hands are tied or they don’t want to risk losing their jobs!
