The D.C. Central Kitchen had several of its vans vandalized last night, and, understandably, many people were flabbergasted.

The damage occurred on Tuesday night, which is when DCist received the above images.

National security and nuclear arms control blogger Jeffrey Lewis of ArmsControlWonk was on the Red line this morning when he noticed a rather odd new sign prohibiting certain behavior on Metro. Next to the usual diagrams picturing how you must not block, crowd around or lean on Metro doors, someone had affixed another warning: No "Rapture," with a little businessman about float up to Heaven, and the universal symbol for "don't do it," the red circle with a line through it. more ›
