Anybody really surprised? I'm not. Too many worthless pieces of shit hanging out on that stretch of 7th at night, that metro stop is by far the most poorly designed in the system, it was only a matter of time before a huge fight engulfs the entire stop. Where are you going to run to? Nowhere. I'm glad DDOT is making an effort to reduce the congestion and improve pedestrian traffic near the VC, but until they take care of the juvenile criminal element hanging out on 7th, this will surely happen again.

feel better after your rant?

so who won?
-
just how do you take care of juveniles raised by juveniles who hang with and think like juveniles? you know, when there are too many deer or bear or mountain lions in one area . . . they kill them to thin out the herds.

the chick that allegedly stabbed the intern had a modeling profile on Modelmayhem.... the profile's been deleted but Google will still find images:

Were they fighting over the ridiculous fare hike I've heard about? Because, if that's the case, duh.

I'm still wondering how 70 people can be involved in a "brawl" and yet only three arrests made? Why does this not compute?
-
This brawl sounds lame, now was it in the train? How did it spill over 2 stops? 3 stops? Unless I misread something. 70 person brawl and only 7 people were taken to the hospital? I think there are bigger fights at Bonnaroo.
-
How is there no camera phone footage of this yet?
-
The first thing that came to mind was "cheesy 80s movie."

Blazing Saddles is not a cheesy movie. :D

Metro police have released a sketch of the incident.

I find that really odd, given the huge number of amateur paparazzi walking around DC at any given moment. Not to mention all the tourists with video and cam.
I'm wondering if this isn't being massively overstated. 5 people fighting can seem like 70 if you're in the middle of it. Likewise, there could've been a few people fighting, and lots more teens walking by -- and teens of course will yell and taunt as they pass, but they might not have been directly involved.

Man attacked by kids at L'Enfant Metro -- bystanders watch, film it

What's your spin on this one Doctor Doom?
-
nobody on here will dare talk about this . . . because if they do, they will be considered racist. is there a white al sharpton; a white jesse jackson? we need one.
-
Whatever. bystander effect knows no race or gender...just a few examples

From my experiences the kids aren't racist. They pick on anyone of any age or color that they perceive as weaker.
I've seen them go after elderly black women on numerous occasions.
If you're of the stature to mentally and physically take of yourself.
Getting in their faces and calling them on their bullshit gets them to back off.
Metro and DC need to start addressing this problem. It's not that difficult to figure out.
Lazy approach... Metro rail curfew for kids and some enforcement
Logical approach... Give them better access to after school and community center programs
Of course, the city will cry about not having the money and will slowly drive residents and the economy back out to the suburbs.
-
Hmm. How do we know it was unprovoked, other than that's what the TV reporter is telling us? You can't tell from the video what happened. It was girls attacking him? Maybe he copped a feel?
-
Uh oh, we got reports of another fight:

-
that was pure genius.
-
For some reason I don't think a 47 year old guy who works at a flower shop and works out at Results was copping a feel on teenage girls.
Regardless of that, I don't understand why he wasn't fighting back.
I can say that if i were a bystander, I would have run to get help, or called 911 on a cell, but wouldn't not have jumped into the fray myself. Some kids carry weapons; I don't. Some kids (even girls) know how to fight; I don't.

you know why he didn't fight back. same reason that nobody helped.

if this would have been a black couple, especially a black marine back from the war, attacked by a group of white kids . . . it would have been on the cover of every newspaper in the u.s. sharpton and jackson would be marching in the town. the attackers would be charged on hate crimes and spend the next 30 years in jail. but since it is the other way around, just another day in the neighbor(hood). white people are so afraid of black people and offending them . . . it is almost amusing at this point.

oh really? you think stories of whites attacking blacks in racially-motivated crimes get blown up on front pages of newpapers?
not on the cover of every newspaper in the u.s. (http://www.nwcn.com/home/?fId=113097819&fPath=/news/local&fDomain=10202)

etc... there is plenty of hate for everyone. these whites-attack-blacks stories are as buried as the blacks-attack-whites. so please take your delusional, small-minded "whites are the oppressed minority in america" crap to right-wing AM radio where it belongs :)
p.s. your "marine attacked by black kids" video is a story from Tabloid Prodigy (http://www.tabloidprodigy.com/2010/12/little-fockers-fans-started-brawl-after-they-were-told-to-be-quiet/). quality source ya got there!
-
ok . . . i'll stop. i know all this bashing is bad karma and i hate bad karma. a lot of people hate a lot of people. i should know being gay. nothing comes out of it. and us fighting at each other is more bad karma. i'll go listen to karma police and shut up now. kiss kiss, hug hug.
-
i hear ya walkonby, i've had enough of the bad karma too. truce/shake/kiss-n-grope/etc.
this is what you get, when you mess with uuuuuusssssssssssss. for a minute there...

I actually listened to OK Computer a few weeks ago for the first time since probably 2007. I still get chills from the transition from Let Down to Karma Police. Epic shit.
-
It's the transition from Exit Music to Let Down that does it for me.
-
radiohead . . . bringing us all together.
-
Regardless of that, I don't understand why he wasn't fighting back.
Did you actually watch the video? He was fighting back. I think he actually made the situation worse.
-
I suppose if pointing and yelling "Why are you doing this, I did nothing to you." is considered fighting back, well yes, I guess he was fighting back. Shame on him for making the situation worse.

Exit Music-->Let Down-->Karma Police, then. Anybody heard this on vinyl? I have to imagine Karma Police begins side b. EDIT: Looks like Karma Police ends side a. Just as well.

Just think if he was black, jewish and gay!!!!!
Seriously, being a Marine had nothing to do with it, just the media trying to juice up the story. It's Bradenton FL!!! Nuff said really.

maybe it's because i like electronic music, but i think y'all be on crack.
"idioteque" and "everything in its right place" are among their best songs.

I was being sarcastic. I also like electronic music and I also like Kid A, but I prefer OK Computer on the whole. Kid A is chock full of awesome songs, but as an album, I prefer OK Computer.

Wow, I missed that 70 person brawl at Gallery Place. Sucks because I like the theaters over there.
Thats a real bitch made to hit that woman like that. Damn kids are out of control.
