@fuckregistering: Are you saying that because crimes occur in Petworth, Columbia Heights, etc. every day, they shouldn't be reported in the news? I am well aware of the crime problem up here, particularly in Petworth as that is where I live. It's enough of a problem that MPD has made this a focus area and the Guardian Angels have moved in to do street patrols. Personally, I'd like to see some reporting--in the Post or on DCist--about this.

I was at 14th and K and even called 911 about this guy. It was quite bizarre. I was shoulder to shoulder with him when the dye pack went off. Red dye gas went everywhere, completely covering me in the red cloud. I ran across the street and called 911. While I was telling them about what was happening, the guy kept digging thru his grocery bag where the red gas was spewing from, and his pants kept coming off -- and he was without underwear!! He ran down K street with red dye gas coming out of his grocery bag and his naked butt kept coming out of his pants. It was truly quite strange, and I seemed to be the only person calling 911 about it, Later, I asked the police outside and they confirmed that it was a bank robber but the officer couldn't tell me if the robber had been apprehended or not.

If banks stopped carrying money, this wouldn't be a problem

With the theft of $500, the robbers are now the majority shareholders in SunTrust.

Too bad all they grabbed were fist loads of IOU to the Federal Government and mortgages to 8 foreclosed properties in Woodbridge. The good new is that they can now apply for the Federal Bailout.

Silly bankrobbing fools, that money is worth less now then when they stole it.

Serious crimes are everyday occurrences in Petworth, Columbia Heights, and "southeast DC".

I got a text from Alert DC yesterday morning that a bank on Georgia Avenue was also robbed. Funny, but I didn't see a mention of it in the Post today; there was only a story about a robbery in Dupont. Guess it's not news if it happens Petworth.

K Street is so not closed (at least based on the traffic going both ways at the corner of Vermont and K) and hasn't been for about two hours. Even when it was, it was only for about 15 minutes.

Isn't that the SunTrust bank that has the DC police office inside? See photos here and here. Must be some brazen criminals.

To hell with those pitiful bank branches. Tell me where they're holding the $800 billion for the bailout. Quick! To the Batmobile, Robin!!

Indeed. He hopped a cab, dye pack exploded, got dropped at his apartment. Cabbie called police. Suspect is in custody.
