DC to seal off neighborhoods

[Andy J]

They will be setting up "Checkpoints" Demanding to see "papers" and denying entry to anyone "who does not have a valid reason" to be their...

Just another demonstration of the complete and total ineptitude of the DC leadership, and Police..

LOL I can't wait till they get their "butts" handed to them by the supreme court in the "Heller case".

Here is a nice quote from the article

D.C. police will seal off entire neighborhoods, set up checkpoints and kick out strangers under a new program that D.C. officials hope will help them rescue the city from its out-of-control violence.

Under an executive order expected to be announced today, police Chief Cathy L. Lanier will have the authority to designate “Neighborhood Safety Zones.” At least six officers will man cordons around those zones and demand identification from people coming in and out of them. Anyone who doesn’t live there, work there or have “legitimate reason” to be there will be sent away or face arrest

I guess the gun bans are not working.. So now they must go down the Bill of Rights, one by one.

And BTW, --> this is a Virginian, sticking his tongue out at DC, from right across the Potomac.

I think I remember my dad talking about something like this across "the pond" when he was young. I believe he referred to the instigator as "Uncle Adolph"!

"police Chief Cathy L. Lanier"

That sums up the problem right there!

Nothing like a woman to louse up the fun, hey?

No, that was "Uncle Joe" who is, by the way, still a hero to the American Left...

so the capitol of the "Free World" becomes another Moscow. How soon before this happens right across the continent?

Well, you can't mean Senator Joe McCarthy, I guess. So is "uncle Joe" some kind of "modern American conservative" code word? Could you have meant Joseph Djugashvili, aka Stalin? My, how quaint and old-fashioned that would be.

P.S. It's time to change your sig, Robert. I doubt anyone in the Sahel or anywhere nearby would complain about a sand shortage. You seem to be making a Liberal point (shudder). They might just wake up and find some greenery.

No, it is Joseph Stalin, hero of the American Left.

Here in Michigan, in the People's Democratic Republic of Isabella County, local police isolated several residential blocks around Communist Michigan University during graduation weekend. They forced local residents, who happened to be out shopping when the roadblocks were set up, to go elsewhere for the weekend. All this in their effort to discourage underage drinking. This is the same county that convicted a friend of mine on hearsay evidence to 5 years in prison for first degree CSC of a 15 year old niece that was living with him with three other adult family members in the same house.

Now, if the DC police really want to solve the violence problem, same thing in Saginaw, they should just seal off the violent section of town and let the gangs exterminate themselves.

Thats what we've been saying about the Middle East for years, all of it, from the Med, to the Bay of Bengal.

Sure as hell sounds scary, Ron. I guess the commies are still in every rug and wherever you turn around.

"Who's responsible for all this?!

"Those bullies from Communist Martyrs High School, that's who!'

Well, you know what the Left has to say about the failure of Communism, "The right people weren't in charge."

Hey, I just discovered this link. Not a bad synopsis...if a synopsis if possible. Gosh, that old LP is priceless!

Give 'em time. World Domination takes a long time, especially when you've got competition.

Got the entire catalogue on vinyl, and CD, and the only video I'm missing is "The J-Men".

These guys are the best, and they still (rarely ) do the odd show live.

All, in all Paul, perhaps they are wise to set up checkpoints. I guess if I were a pizza driver in Washington D.C., I'd want an excuse not to have to deliver pies in Sector R too.
