times are tough, it's hard to afford both gas and bullets these days

lunchinlewis		2009-10-13 05:01:44 PM

I bet they're on those pretentious fixed gear bikes too.

should have just paid the bill.

Is this it?

Dread Patch Slappy		2009-10-13 05:40:34 PM

Good thing guns are illegal in D.C.

BMX or 10 speed?

Cause it matters

Do thugs in DC warrant capitalization of their classification?

pugsleythegreat		2009-10-13 05:42:19 PM

They better freakin' hit me because I am almost 100% positive my poorly coordinated arse could shoot a retarded thug off a bicycle, I mean how fast could he get away?

/I bet I could do it even with my shiatty tt-33

need4mospd		2009-10-13 05:42:24 PM

It's probably just a cycle their going through. I'd say the police need to change gears and steer themselves in the right direction. Put the back-peddling behind them.

PatriciaFarkette		2009-10-13 05:42:46 PM

Probably not fixies. I'm guessing Next 20" or full-suspension 24" bikes.

need4mospd		2009-10-13 05:43:00 PM

They're/their fail.

Omnivorous		2009-10-13 05:43:04 PM

I've biked all through that neighborhood. Heck, I'm probably a suspect.

skinink		2009-10-13 05:43:43 PM

I actually had the unfortunate chance to see a ride-by shooting. And if you're afraid of being shot by a kid who can't aim straight when he's standing still, it's much scarier when they are trying to pedal and shoot. Although I have to admit it was like watching a Wild West shootout, with the kid just pedaling and shooting.

Of course no one got hit. And I'm so glad to be out of that neighborhood.

Only if they were elected.

It's worth noting that 10th and H NE is nearby an "up and coming" DC neighborhood. The bars on H street between 12th and 14th appeal to the young, hip crowd.

/used to live at 9th and E NE
//going to 14th and H tomorrow

TheShavingofOccam123		2009-10-13 05:54:15 PM

Next thing, they'll be dropping out of the skies then doing a ride-by.

Spoonfed'sBuddy		2009-10-13 05:54:56 PM

Ban bikes! Criminals couldn't commit bike-by shootings without them.

invictus2		2009-10-13 05:55:19 PM

get a line of snipers and off the scum, slower targets

Solty Dog		2009-10-13 05:55:47 PM

Using bikes and taking greedy consumers out with definitely help their carbon footprint.

-1 for not using arrows.

Space man		2009-10-13 05:56:00 PM

Hot because it's near the Red Line (shocking)

Close to Galludet so it raises the question- if thugs commit a bike-by and nobody hears it...?

You must not have read the article:

Suspects in the case include brothers James and Michael Thug, 20 and 17, of Columbia Heights. "Those Thugs were always trouble," a neighbor was quoted as saying.

Candy Cornpad		2009-10-13 06:00:16 PM

Underprivilged thugs poppin caps AND wheelies!

The Face Of Oblivion		2009-10-13 06:00:32 PM

DC is full of shiatheads. Big surprise. Southeast is the trap on the drain line of the US, and all it catches is Marion Barry and people who refuse to get jobs or behave as other than low-functioning apes.

medius		2009-10-13 06:02:26 PM

pugsleythegreat: I could do it even with my shiatty tt-33

I used to bull's-eye womp rats with my tt-33 back home.

Crudbucket		2009-10-13 06:02:39 PM

This is most effective if you shoot somebody at the top of a hill.

So cobble together a crutch, steam gauge assembly, fission battery and pressure cooker, then ram some warp-velocity railway spikes up their asses. Duh.

If they're riding two-niners, I'm cheering them on.

boonfarker It's bad luck just SEEING a thing like that!

BesiktasBoy83		2009-10-13 06:06:37 PM

It's a time of recession, these guys cant afford to have guns and a car, lol.

consciousNOT		2009-10-13 06:07:11 PM

Perhaps there could be a presidential beer summit to bring everyone affected together.

Dammit! Came in to say this.

Today there was a drive by in northeast. So far five teens shot, one dead.

To me it seems like there are two Americas. One for rich and one for not rich, very sad I think.

You're lucky you don't live in Indiana. The Amish drive-bys are nuts.

BesiktasBoy83: To me it seems like there are two Americas. One for rich and one for not rich, very sad I think.

And here comes the European to tell the rest of America that the shiatheads are our fault. How are those banlieus working out? How about the triple-digit rape rate increase in Stockholm? Murder is not an economic crime, nor is rape. Assholes are everywhere, even Europe.
