Real Tragedy: Crime Wave in D.C.

There is an article in today’s Washington Post about the recent string of murders in Washington D.C. This is real tragedy, not the poo-poo nonsense of the Wilson & Plame affair.

One of the most insightful comments in the article is from Yvetta Hamilton, aunt and surrogate mom of one of the victims.

“It’s babies killing babies,” lamented Yvetta Hamilton, 46, the aunt who took Holt in as a child when his mother wasn’t able to care for him. “They get guns, and they talk about feeling disrespected. Half of them don’t know how to spell disrespected.”

So very sad.
