I don't post most crimes reported in Near Southeast, because in the months that I've been watching the stats (at
crimereports.com and now
crimeindc.org) they've all been pretty much car thefts or thefts from cars, which I don't reproduce here because you'd all die of boredom. But
here's a good one: on Thursday Aug. 17 at 9:11 pm in the 1000 block of South Capitol Street SE, "c3 was approached by c1/2 in reference to an incident that occurred on a previous day. c1 then attacked c3
pulling c3's hair extensions out [emphasis mine]. c1 at this time began punching c3 about the body with closed fists. witnesses separated c1/2 from c3." This was actually reported as an Assault With a Deadly Weapon--was that the fists or the extensions? (On a more serious note, while this is technically across the Great Divide and out of my purview, I'll link to this story about a
shooting on Friday night at 1st and P SW, because the Post couldn't stop mentioning how close it is to the
new stadium site.)
