Georgetown Stabbing
I seriously cannot wait to leave this city:
According to Sgt. Joe Gentile, a spokesman for the D.C. police, yesterday morning's fatal fight was touched off when two groups encountered each other on the street and "one group literally bumped into another."
[...]
Homicide is down citywide this year, on a pace that would result in fewer than 200 killings for the first time since 1986."
Everyday there's another story about people killing and dying in my city. Now this. If you're not familiar with DC, then it won't mean much, but if you are then a murder at Wisconsin and M street is almost unbelievable. Georgetown is to DC as Beverly Hills is to LA. This type of shit simply does not happen there.
I don't hang out much in Gtown because it's painfully lame, but it just goes to show that there is nowhere in this city where you are ever truly safe. Just the other day my wife and her friend were followed into an apartment building and attacked in the elevator by a guy with a knife. Luckily he was a total pussy and our friend Nancy kicked him in the chest with her high heels, but it could have gotten very ugly.
Like I said, I can't wait to get the fuck out of here.
