06/12/23 Limo driver beaten, dragged by vehicle in violent carjacking. "Two people" sought.

[RFBfromDE]

Two people violently attacked a limo driver in Northwest D.C. early Saturday, hitting him with a brick and dragging him before taking his SUV.

Michael Tsige, of Arlington, said he was for his assignment near 24th and L streets when a man asked for help jumpstarting his car.

“When I talked to him, the other one hit the window with a brick,” he said. “Window broken. I shift my head to the passenger side.”

That’s when the men began beating him and tried pull him out of the car, he said.

Where was President Trump?

His SUV has a tracking device, and he was able to tell police where the car had been. He was angry Monday because he was still tracking his car and police hadn’t recovered it.

“I went into the police, I showed them the case number and Then I asked them to help me. No help.”

News4 found the car and flagged down police.

Nothing like adding insult to injury.

The brazenness of this.

You'd think they'd encounter someone who's carrying at some point.

They will.

Hope it never happens and comes to that, but I'm doing my part.

DC's self-defense law falls into a middle ground between "Duty to Retreat" and "Stand Your Ground".

https://mpdc.dc.gov/sites/default/files/dc/sites/mpdc/page_content/attachments/District%20Law%20Pertaining%20to%20Self%20Defense.pdf

Under the case law of the District of Columbia, the District is neither a “right to stand and kill” nor a “duty to retreat to the wall before killing” jurisdiction. The District case law has established a “middle ground.”

You should take reasonable steps, such as stepping back or walking away, to avoid the necessity of taking a human life, so long as those steps are consistent with your own safety. However, you do not have to retreat or consider retreating when you actually and reasonably believe that you are in danger of death or serious bodily harm and that deadly force is necessary to repel that danger.

Better to be judged by 12 than carried by 6.

*****Unfortunately the police can't be everywhere and in many areas are remarkably overextended and under-staffed.

Some of this could be fixed by forcing criminals to serve out their entire sentence in jail, or otherwise very uncomfortable situations (Dentists chair, forced to wear a MAGA hat at a mostly peaceful Antifa Rally, etc.. I could think up some more..)

Meme below kind of sums it up in a way..

They most likely already have. Once they turn and run and no longer pose a threat you can't shoot them. They know that and will just search for an easier victim down the road. Most attempts aren't reported and even if they're reported most aren't news worthy.

Maybe so. I'm fine with them running from me. My sympathies go to the easier victim down the road.

There are simply not enough on the street. They don't have the staffing numbers to have an adequate presence per shift.

I think RFBfromDE was being sarcastic.
Anyway I agree with you in your post number 12. I sympathize with the easier victim who can't defend themselves because of job, business, location, etc. restrictions.

Yup, I picked up on it. MPD will probably dip below 3,000 officers by the end of next year given the numbers resigning/retiring at the present rate. They've kept the prediction above 3,100.... I'm not buying it.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/2023/04/15/dc-police-staffing-crime/#

Despite some hiring in the past year, the force had just over 3,350 sworn officers at the end of March, a net loss of about 450 over the past three years. Police Chief Robert J. Contee III said he expected the size of the force could fall to about 3,130 by the end of fiscal year 2024.

One of my brothers is a DC FF captain and says the DC cops suck and are not 2A friendly. The DC FF are pro 2A on the most part.
