Before you said you believed he was rehabilitated now you say it doesn't matter if he is or not. While I think both are fine positions, you have changed your argument.

I agree 11 months won't help his chances for rehabilitation, but he's literally a violent felon who will possibly reoffend: those 11 months are important for people (literally) on the street.

AHAHAHAHA. Ah good one.

Hmm, reaching proficiency (reading, writing, listening, and speaking) in a language typically takes about 5 years, so it may not have been the theory itself that worked but rather the time and consistency you put into learning.

Only one of those is actually accountable to DC residents.

Sticky Fingers does have a diner so there is a possibility

I believe WMATA wanted to open it, but the elevators weren't ready and they were forced to wait until they were operational to open the station.

Giant O St. Market has kosher Yehuda egg matzoh (and Manischewitz whole wheat).

(Guess I never thought of myself as living in a particularly Jewish area; out beyond Rockville, the local grocery stores have pallet loads of those pink Streit's boxes stacked to the ceiling just inside the doors.)

I'm not sure it's true, but I can believe it.

If he's rehabilitated after 4 years, then he could be eligible for early release. If he's not, 11 more months ain't gonna do it.

I’ve never been, but that place always smelled so so heavenly when I walked by. I hope the new place smells just as lovely jaja.

Very cool. Thank you for the info. I will check out Dreaming Spanish.

YMBNH This isn't new, we've been doing this show since at least the 90s. Stop getting all get up about Congress, you can't do anything about them anyway.

It’s a family event, and they want to keep it that way. They don’t want to give out tickets for adults because then too many adults would be wandering around and it changes the nature of the event.

is there somewhere online to find more info- day and time? and if it’s at other libraries as well?

would love info on this too!!

If Congress wants to have a productive conversation about public safety in DC that's one thing, but that ain't what this is. It's weird to have a hearing about public safety in DC where the only executive branch official is the city's CFO - not the mayor, not the deputy mayor for public safety, not any leadership from MPD. I get that some people had complaints about the RCCA, but if you're worried about the current state of public safety in this city, it might be worth doing something other than hauling up councilmembers to yell at them for a bill that never took effect and no longer exists.

If I was really concerned about public safety in this city, I might ask officials to testify before me who could explain why MPD murder cases are getting summarily dropped, or why the majority of MPD arrests aren't getting prosecuted by USAO. And no, I don't think the person to answer those questions is the head of the fucking police union.

If I was really concerned about public safety in this city, maybe I wouldn't be pushing for gigantic cuts to USAO staff.

This thing is a clown show. From the bottom of my heart, fuck all of you who keep cheering on Republicans in Congress for this sideshow bullshit that isn't going to make a single person in this city more safe.

Everyone is a critic.

> believe that this man is rehabilitated

What do you base this on? I'd like to agree, but this all happened four years ago.

Would've loved to have seen an actual restaurant or small grocery store here. This area is already overflowing with bakeries (and I want nothing threatening the existence of Donut Run).

Do you mean when they were replacing the escalators with new Kone’s? I’d find it hard to believe you made it to gravel even then (concrete is more likely), now falling in the lower pit because the floor plates were removed is possible but there wouldn’t have been any gravel.

These are really weak, lazy replies. You’re not really saying anything of substance and yet you insist on criticizing others of being indirect and/or verbose.

It doesn't need to be. He's literally asking for a trial, I think.

They should be grilled for their ineptitude
