The motorcycle wheel in the pic cracks me up. I think it's on 4th or 5th street near Judiciary Square. What really blows me away is I think it's off a DC police bike [honda rebel 250]. Also, it's M...

On August 5, 2008 9:38 PM in SmartBike DC Open for Business, they said:

Holy crap, they're called 'Spokey Dokeys' people, not 'spoke beads'. I think these bikes are kinda cute though. Yes, they may be stolen and vandalized and occasionally there may not be one when you...

On July 23, 2008 6:22 PM in Novak Hits Pedestrian; It's Not Joe Wilson, they said:

Striking a pedestrian in the crosswalk [assuming the ped was in the crosswalk] is an arrestable offense. MPD officers do not arrest people for this because it takes waaaayyy too long to process arrest...

On July 23, 2008 11:35 AM in Smith & Wesson to Offer 'Commemorative' D.C. vs. Heller Gun, they said:

Is Josh Sugarman offering to order these revolvers for folks? He is after all one of the few licensed firearms dealers in the city....

On July 21, 2008 9:29 AM in Morning Roundup: Checkpoints Return Edition, they said:

Add to that list a shooting behind the Reeves Center at 14th & V yesterday afternoon around 5pm. Not sure if anyone was hit....

On July 17, 2008 10:15 AM in Morning Roundup: Fired Up Edition, they said:

Yes, the WUSA article makes no sense. DC gun laws [including the revised ones] also make no sense, using incorrect terms and improper terminology all over the place. Seriously folk, the ATF's Firear...

On July 16, 2008 9:53 AM in Morning Roundup: Firearms and Nanny Forms, they said:

The locked & disassembled aspect of the new legislation is only half of it. They're also trying to essentially only allow revolvers/six shooters. That's like saying yeah, you got your freedom of spe...

On July 10, 2008 5:20 PM in Police Activity in Columbia Heights, they said:

"situation" is over. Roadway is back open. Nothing to see here...move along. I'm guessing erahk0 was right - likely just some junk in a doorway....

On July 10, 2008 5:07 PM in Police Activity in Columbia Heights, they said:

EOD is on scene there. If you don't know what that means, then there's no need to worry :) ...

On July 8, 2008 5:23 PM in Killed Cyclist Identified, they said:

Re: DC Bike laws - someone stated in the previous comment section that you can get a handy little pocket guide of DC bike laws from DC Dept. of Transportation or the Washington Area Bicycle Associati...

On July 8, 2008 12:56 PM in Woman Killed by Garbage Truck in Dupont Updated, they said:

Bicyclists are allowed use of the sidewalk anywhere north of Massachusetts Ave [which this location was]. If she was in the crosswalk when struck the truck driver should be charged with (at least) st...

On July 8, 2008 12:30 PM in Woman Killed by Garbage Truck in Dupont Updated, they said:

Yeah, no one wants to hit/kill a pedestrian/cyclist, but I work in emergency services and the first words out of the car driver's mouth is almost always "I didn't see him". Yup, because you weren't pa...

On July 8, 2008 11:29 AM in Crooked Beat Flooded, Still Open, Hoping to Move, they said:

Mella - that spot you're talking about used to be DCCD. I think it's now owned by the guy that owns Madams Organ. I'm not sure if he has plans for it as another club/bar - could be tough if the liqu...

On July 8, 2008 10:32 AM in Woman Killed by Garbage Truck in Dupont Updated, they said:

There's a bike lane there on R street at Connecticut ave - likely where this occurred. This is what happens in a city where there's little-to-no enforcement of traffic laws. The trash truck that kil...

On July 2, 2008 2:46 PM in Morning Roundup: Handcuffs and Trigger Locks Edition, they said:

SOME semi-automatics can carry more rounds than a revolver, and some can't. They also don't shoot any faster. It's just an irrational fears of DC gov't and police who don't know any better and can't...

On July 2, 2008 1:08 PM in Morning Roundup: Handcuffs and Trigger Locks Edition, they said:

I interested to see how many more lawsuits it takes to get DC's gun laws to an 'acceptable' point constitutionally. The city attorney & police chief are still claiming they're going to keep the ban o...

On July 2, 2008 12:34 AM in Go Home Already: There She Is, they said:

Reid - you probably don't see that many accidents on the road because there are a HUGE number of hit-and-runs in DC. Often due to the very large numbers of uninsured or impaired drivers. Still, i'm a...

On June 30, 2008 3:22 PM in Will Gun Shops Open in D.C.?, they said:

I vote for a little gun stand in the lobby of the Reeve's Center along with the incense and other crap people sell there......

On June 30, 2008 3:20 PM in SmartBike DC: Just Teasing Us Now, they said:

Jim's the one in the yellow shirt waaaay in the back left of the photo. ...

On June 27, 2008 4:17 PM in Don't Go Buying a Gun Just Yet, they said:

Monkey - NO, federal law prohibits any gun seller [FFL- Federal Firearms License dealer or individual/gun show attendee] from selling a handgun to anyone from a another state. There's no way a MD or ...
