Metro says that Metrobuses traveling in parts of Southeast Washington are being pelted with rocks. As part of a campaign to discourage this, police are distributing a flier reminding people not to throw rocks at buses or cars. The Metro Transit Police and Metropolitan Police Department have been distributing the flier, which features a reminder that throwing rocks at vehicles is a crime.

Comments:
And to think that the savages near DC have to be reminded that throwing rocks at vehicles is illegal? And if the Metro did cancel night bus service to the area, you know the ACLU would sue.

Time to ban all rocks.

Better rocks than 9mm bullets, I suppose.

Maybe the answer is to arm buses like B17 bombers with turret guns, waist guns, tail guns, etc.

I am sure that this stern warning and reminder will not go unheeded by the pond scum throwing rocks! Perhaps some harsh language sould be in order too...

Only in DC could there be a campaign calling for rock control.

#4 is pretty close in his description of what lives in southeastern Washington. I am surprised any cars or buses drive throught there at all. Accidentally drove into that area one day and even though I was locked tight in my car, I was definitely afraid. Those people stared at me with death in their eyes.

Most amusing! Wonder how long before we start seeing ´ASBO´s in the US? For the uninformed, an ´ASBO´ is an ´Anti-Social-Behavior-Order´, which a friend in Britain tells me is now ´standard procedure´ when dealing with juvenile crime...a stern shaking of the finger followed by a stern paper shaking of the finger...

My friend also informs me that frequently the police handing ´em out - are beaten up in the process.

I´m sure that´s followed by a ´more stern´ finger shaking.

Interesting planet we got going on here. As far as I´m concerned - throwing a rock at a moving vehicle is tantamount to assault with a deadly weapon with intent to kill - and should be handled as such.

Maybe they should make it a "rock free zone", like "gun free zones" or "hate free zones"!

We need to register and do background checks on those throwers ... and ban anything larger than a pebble! /s

I hope this program works ---think of the savings.

No more police departments! Just a printing press in the basement of city hall.

---Please do not stand on street corners exchanging money for dangerous drugs.

---Please do not enter banks wearing ski masks and carrying banned weapons.

---Please do not drive thru neighborhoods at high rates of speed, while discharging "assault weapons".

1. Only gov´t can be this stoopit.
2. Shut down all transit service through such areas.
3. OK, except for decoy buses. Full of cops with shotguns. And plenty of shells. Hey -- with Stinky cutting back on the military, the DC cops ought to be able to get a good buy on a couple Apache helicopter gunships. Hmmm....

Americans can no longer be allowed to visit Rock Creek Park in DC.

Obviously it is the source of an unlimited supply of these hurled missiles.

We cannot visit or drill for oil in ANWR (Alaska National Wildlife Reserve).
This protects the fragile ecosystem and the animals there.

So shut down also Rock Creek Park.
The fragile transit system is at risk, so are the animals... er, sorry... peeps...
there in the District.

Turnabout is fair play.

The flyers would have to be done as pictograms, seeing how the prehistoric rock hurlers likely are illiterate. Even then they would only laugh.

Halt all bus service to the area, prevent them from traveling to commit their crimes. Think of the savings.

People act like this is something new.
When I was but a wee lad, I lived two blocks from my elementary school. I had the great privilege to get on a bus with all of the others in my neighborhood, and rise the six miles to a different school in another neighborhood, that had it´s young residents bused back to my school.
At least three times a week, when we left to go home, our bus was pelted with rocks and bottles by the friendly youths.

That was 40 years ago.

It´s a crime only if you are caught, otherwise it´s a sport.

If they want this to stop Congress need to regulate rocks.

For the out of town readers of this news flash it might be helpful for the media to provide a racial breakout of the "youths" is this area of Washington. No surprise, just confirmation of what we all know.

The rock throwers have anger issues. Only more free stuff paid for by the labor of others will satisfy them. That fix is only a temporary high.Think of this as a ´free stuff ´ habit. Think of the democrat party as their pusher.

HARTFORD, Conn. -- With time running out on the chance to pass gun control legislation, President Barack Obama on Monday warned Congress not to use delaying tactics against tighter regulations and told families of the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting victims that he´s "determined as ever" to honor their children with tougher laws. Obama´s gun control proposals have run into resistance on Capitol Hill, leaving their fate in doubt. Efforts by Senate Democrats to reach compromise with Republicans over expanding required federal background checks have yet to yield an agreement, and conservatives were promising to try

North Korea’s young leader Kim Jong-un is waiting for United States President Barack Obama to make a phone call to Pyongyang to discuss easing tensions on the Korean peninsula, according to Russia’s news agency Itar-Tass. The report cited United Kingdom diplomats, saying Pyongyang was demanding the U.S. president personally call Kim Jong-un as one of the conditions to relieve the current conflict at hand. Itar-Tass also quoted the U.K.’s Sky News as saying North Korea currently has eight nuclear warheads.

Annette Funicello, the dark-haired darling of TV´s “The Mickey Mouse Club” in the 1950s who further cemented her status as a pop-culture icon in the ´60s by teaming with Frankie Avalon in a popular series of “beach” movies, died Monday. She was 70. Funicello, who was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis in 1987 and became a spokeswoman for treatment of the chronic, often-debilitating disease of the central nervous system, died at Mercy Southwest Hospital in Bakersfield, Walt Disney Co. spokesman Howard Green said.

Beginning a week of high pressure on gun control, the White House on Monday accused some Republican senators of cowardice for planning to filibuster gun legislation without allowing the full Senate to vote on President Obama’s initiatives. “If they oppose this legislation, have the courage to say so on the floor and vote no,” said White House press secretary Jay Carney. “Don’t block it. Don’t hide behind a procedural action to prevent a vote. That’s the wrong thing to do, and that’s how the president clearly feels.”

The murder trial of abortionist Kermit Gosnell largely is being ignored by the mainstream media, even in the face of grisly testimony, such as what we heard yesterday. Life News reports: ...a former employee described how she heard a baby scream during a live-birth abortion. Abortion clinic employee Sherry West described an incident which "really freaked (her) out" and related to the jury how she heard a child who was born alive following an abortion scream.

Clinton, 33, essentially said "maybe" in an interview that aired Monday on NBC´s Today show. "Right now I´m grateful to live in a city, a state and a country where I strongly support my mayor, my governor, my president and my senators and my representative," said Clinton, whose father, Bill, was president from 1993-2001 and her mother, Hillary

More than 700 Special Operations veterans are urging members of Congress to back a select committee to investigate last year’s Benghazi terrorist attack, according to a letter first obtained by Fox News. The letter from the group, “Special Operations Speaks,” supports the appointment of a special committee tasked with the single mission of investigating the attack that left Ambassador Christopher Stevens and three other Americans dead, and shut down the CIA operation in an annex of the Benghazi consulate, in the Sept. 11, 2012 attack. “Congress must show some leadership and provide answers to the public

There was growing buzz over the weekend that a bipartisan agreement on gun control — a deal that would expand background checks — could hit the floor as early as this week. However, any deal could be derailed by the looming threat of a Republican filibuster involving Texas Sen. Ted Cruz. With Cruz standing proudly in the way of any gun legislation, Democrats are trying to make him pay a political price — and even a couple of high-profile Republicans are questioning his tactics.

Amid all of the very real threats of war and stuff from North Korea, you´d think American intelligence officers want as much video footage of the enemy as possible. Well, here is one video featuring North Korean exercises and Kim Jong-Un holding a gun, and we´ll say this: they certainly get points for presentation. Remember the clap-happy report from Dennis Rodman´s diplomatic basketball vacation? This video comes courtesy of the same Youtube channel that gave us that Rodman video. It appears to be the same state news channel.(Snip for video)This latest dispatch from North Korea´s state television

The case of a same-sex Connecticut couple accused of repeatedly raping and abusing two of their nine adopted boys is headed for trial. Married couple George Harasz and Douglas Wirth of Glastonbury were supposed to be sentenced Friday in Hartford Superior Court under a plea deal, but instead withdrew from their agreement with prosecutors. The men had already pleaded no contest in January to one felony count each of risk of injury to a minor — a reduction from even more serious charges related to sexual assault....
