WUSA reports on what appears to be a string of Chinese carryout restaurants being targeted for armed robberies.
The two most recent robberies took place on Saturday night. One of them occured at Eastern Carryout, located at 1784 Florida Ave NW. Owner Paul Chen told WUSA that three men came in through the rear door of the restaurant, forced Chen and his parents into the back and then pistol whipped his mother when she refused to give up her money. The worst part? There was a customer in the front part of the restaurant who allegedly saw what was happening but just walked out the front door, and didn't call the police.
Instead, after the robbers were gone the customer returned and wanted to know where his food was. Chen says he gave the man back his money and told him to leave.
Wow. What an ass.
Only a half hour before, Peking Express at 1338 U Street NW was robbed in a similar manner, and police believe the same assailants were responsible for both crimes.
WUSA cites MPD stats showing that this was the sixth robbery of an Asian restaurant in the area over the last 10 days. Think about showing your favorite carryout a little love this week and make a point of stopping by to show your support.

You two are quite the jokers..
How sad. This dreadful treatment of Chinese takeouts is particularly disrespectful now, in the midst of the Chinese New Year of the Ox.
How pathetic.

Is it really too much to get a description of violent criminals? This and the shootings in Columbia Heights a few nights ago.
I thought about making a snide comment about how the assailants keep coming back because you get hungry two hours after eating Chinese but I've resolved to be more sensitive towards affected minorities. Plus I'm really busy at work today.
If you won't, I will.
Why did Jeffrey Dahmer not date Chinese guys?
He'd be hungry again in an hour.
When there's no description of the criminals given, everyone knows the description...
Absolutely! Everyone knows those bastards were hatless, i repeat hatless!
~EEE~
The unfortunate thing is that the owners' 5 hour "gun safety" class was scheduled for this saturday.
The "best" part. The 3rd District MPD Station is 2 blocks away...
