2 arrested in DC for running over pedestrians

| June 9, 2017

At around 9:30 last night, two fellows, 23-year-old Dwayne Nicholas Taylor and 22-year-old Brandon Figures-Mormon, were driving a speeding pickup truck through the Adams-Morgan neighborhood in Washington, DC when they ran over two bicycle-mounted Metro PD officers and a District Department of Transportation employee before they crashed their vehicle into a parked garbage truck, according to Fox5;

Taylor faces charges of Possession of an Unregistered Firearm/Unlawful Possession of a Firearm or Destructive Device. Figures-Mormon faces charges of Assault with Intent to Kill and Possession Of Unregistered Firearm/Unlawful Possession of a Firearm or Destructive Device.

When asked if this incident may be terrorism-related, Newsham said, “We have to look at that very closely. We do not have a motive at this time.” Several FBI agents were seen arriving at the scene on 18th Street late Thursday night.

What will they get on the Firearms Charge if it isn’t dropped, Two weeks? Time Served?

It’s D.C.
And they’re probably indigenous personnel….A hearty bowl of soup and pat on the back.
They’ll probably tussle their fro and say “Git outta here you little rascal” and push them out the door.

Both are from Virginia, not that it matters.

If they’re from some parts of NoVA, they might as well be from DC.

I see what you did there. . .

DC is very different than it used to be. It is still a liberal Mecca but they exported many of their hoodlums mostly to PG County over the past 20 years through a series of clever assistance programs. PG County was always bad but now it was a real shithole with the worst school system in the state and rampant violence well on par with Baltimore.

DC saw a good decline in it’s crime rate.

Then PG County took a tip and started exporting their criminals to other places and back home. It is kind of like taking a problem bear that is going through people’s trash and dumping him elsewhere. They have seen some improvement in the last ten years.

We in the PDRofMD know all about DC’s “gentrification” program and it’s effects. On the rare occasions when I travel to Baltimore or PG County, I go armed.

I hope these scumbags get at least 20 years! Bubba and the gang will enjoy the fresh meat!

Don’t bother AG Jeff Sessions about this, he’s already recused himself.

This seems to be a growing practice and I don’t know how to nip it in the bud since we are dealing with those who believe dying for some bullshit cult is the best way to end their life. Imagine if tomorrow thousands felt the same as those who have previously demonstrated this type of behavior. What to do about it? Anything done to them will not serve as a deterrent to others who want to give their life for xxx number of virgins.

Of those Jihadis seeking martyrdom, perhaps this quote fits:

“Forgiveness is between them and God. It’s my job to arrange the meeting.”

Schwarzkopf , I believe.

Patton also had good advice on those who would die for their side:

“The object of war is not to die for your country but to make the other bastard die for his.”

Bob Rogan, chief of staff to Rep. Peter Welch (D-Vt.), ran from a coffeehouse and reached the truck’s dazed passenger as he climbed from the wreckage, a cut on his forehead. Rogan said the man told him that he and his friend had been to a club and smoked something.

Really? And…

A police report says that in the pickup’s back seat, investigators found a military-style weapon described as a Romarm Cugir rifle, the Romanian version of the AK-47. It was not clear why the men had the gun.

Authorities said they are awaiting results of toxicology tests to determine whether either man was impaired. Court records show that in 2014, Figures-Mormon pleaded guilty to assault in Virginia — a charge that had been reduced from assaulting a police officer — and received a year-long suspended sentence. His social media accounts indicate an affinity with mysticism. He enlisted in the U.S. Marine Corps in 2012 but was discharged a year later because the “character of his service was incongruent with Marine Corps’ expectations and standards.” A military spokesman declined to elaborate.

You don’t say….
