D.C. Officials Complain Over Lack Of Social Distancing Where Shooting Left One Dead, 20 Injured

Washington D.C.’s Democratic Mayor Muriel Bowser fretted Monday over the community’s lack of social distancing at a weekend neighborhood block party, where a shooting broke out leaving a 17-year-old dead and 20 more people injured.

According to the Associated Press, Bowser reaffirmed to reporters at the crime scene in southeast D.C. that gatherings of more than 50 people were still prohibited in the district to slow to spread of the novel Wuhan coronavirus.

“It’s very important that as a community we have a zero-tolerance for this activity,” Bowser said, noting D.C. police need to make “difficult decisions,” and “break up these events.”

On Sunday, D.C. Police Chief Peter Newsham echoed the same frustrations over the block party that took place Friday and Saturday.

Just an observation, but becoming more and more a fact - 10 or more blacks at a gathering, be it birthday party, wedding, funeral etc., expect at least 1 or more to be carrying a gun and expect 1 or more shootings. Come on folks, if you are going to a celebratory event, you don't need a gun. Otherwise it is premeditated murder if you ask me. Where's the love?

Shoot a little longer and the number at the party would be under 50 and OK.

What does anyone truly expect right now?

Bowser also mentioned about damned if you do damned if you don't quandary when it comes to policing or adding more police to a situation - in this case a large group at a cookout.

WELLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL DEMS, you tried it several times over the last couple months with letting the looters/protesters run loose and you see where you are at across the country. How'd that work for you?

Damned if you do, damned if you don't attitude...ARE YOU KIDDING ME??? Break the law, get arrested? Don't coware to lawyers - this is the United States of America!

This is failure in leadership and those LARGE and in CHARGE need to be held accountable by EVERYONE!

No, start holding people accountable for their actions. Congressional reps, lawyers, police, public, etc no one is above the law. Riots are not equivalent to peaceful protest. Crack down on the scum. Cut off the open purse strings; because I'm tied of paying for this mess.

I think you frivolous fool's have more to worry about than social distance. Bullets don't understand what you're talking about.

Wait, she's pinning a gunfight at an annual block party and BBQ on social distancing? This is just too absurd.



Democrat mayors of cities in trouble sound so similar, so bizarre, so weak and powerless. It's almost as if they get orders from the same source, just as the MSM obviously do with their parroted headlines and taglines.

9:13 they are saying the block party should have been broken up in the first place.

Who cares if these thugs are social distancing. If they get covid and die that is a good thing. Same with them getting shot . They will not ever amount to anything so they should be killed. The cities exterminate rats so let the thugs exterminate the other thugs. It's a good thing

10:03 AM - You can be sure that non-thug working people and families were at the block party in addition to some thugs.

Why should any decent human being care. Most blacks don't care that they are slaughtering each other. Heck they are so disgusting it doesn't even faze them that black children are being shot and killed. Most blacks are democrats so this means most are completely lacking in any morals and are constant liars. They don't care about black lives. This is just one more of the many lies that constantly come out of their mouths. What they care about is making a killing into a racial issue. If they can't make it racial then the murder means nothing to them. It's sickening to decent people that children mean nothing to them. They try to pretend but their own actions speak way more then their words which are just more of the lying they get to constantly. If they did have morals they would be ashamed at how low they have sunk. But again most are democrats so this means they have not ever had in their lives a decent honest moral good person
