Since the police have no idea who did it isn't this sexist profiling? Why couldn,t a powerfull woman with big hands have done it?
After all; women can do everthing a man can do? Right?
As a man and innocent victim of this profiling I will feel marginalized for at least a minute? Sigh!

We'll make you detective for a year. You can try to solve the non-stop homicides in the District & PG County. See how you do. Dealing with the idiot thug/criminal-lovers who give the police a hard time 24-7. Lay off the law enforcement personnel. Stupid, drunken idiots are always getting into arguments about every little thing from A to Z. Problem is a lot of them have guns.
