Washington has more reporters than any city in America. That is why the locals there are wondering two things: Why in April 2014 were 60 black people jumping up and down on cars and vandalizing property a few blocks from the White House? And why nothing from the Post or the network affiliates? Or any of the gajillion other reporters in that town?
Colleen Murphy, one of the determined diggers at the George Washington University school paper, figured it out:889
The Metropolitan Police Department responded to a mob of 60 young people who were jumping on cars and vandalizing the area near the Watergate complex Monday, according to its public information office. City police received a call at 7:12 p.m. reporting that about 60 teenagers were jumping on cars.
Maybe it has never happened before. Oh wait, if that were true, then it would be a story. I’m confused. Some locals are not: I “saw them running into the street, jumping on cars, kicking them, and throwing trash at cars,” said Erin Martin on Twitter.
Cops cuffed two of the vandals, however temporarily. Soon after, they were on their way. Murphy continues.
“Brandon Morris, who lives at 24th and H streets, said he watched police officers order two men to get on the ground around 8:30 p.m. He had also seen the large group shouting as they marched toward the Watergate. “The shouting seemed angry, then celebratory, almost like a sporting event,” she said.”
Almost as if it were a game. Somebody ask Aamidor.
