And we wonder why its so hard to attract new businesses to DC. Thugs and DCRA are a potent adversary, or are they one and the same?

That's a nice photo. These chumps never notice the surveillance cameras.
At least he looks cool. Not bothered about a thing. The most important thing is to be cool 24-7. Don't let anything get to you or stress you out. Not even when you rob a store.
He's got a good future ahead of him. I hope the mean evil cops aren't too tough on him. The poor misunderstood lad.

I wonder why did he rob the store when everything in there was 50% off?

Some folks gotta work. Some folks gotta rob. Prison/jail doesn't scare them. Beenm there, done that. They're used to being behind bars & in the back seat of a police car.
Ain't no thing.

A lot of these criminals are gay. That's why spending a lot of time behind bars in the company of mostly men is something they enjoy. That's why they don't mind going back again & again & again. They like to take long hot showers with the boys. Wear makeup & heels & strut around the yard.

That is a very clear image of the suspect. Somebody knows the name of this person. Do the right thing and start snitching if you don't want the crime spree to continue.
