This Comment of the Day comes from Stormytouch, who wrote in about a man shot Thursday morning in Southeast DC:
I pray for this man and his family. Why is it easier to kill someone than embrace them with a hug. I lost so many men in my family to murder. This isn’t how things are supposed to be. We can’t go shopping to party to school to church to the hospital to a funeral or a baby shower without the fear of someone opening fire or stabbing and killing someone . Sometimes it is even your spouse who takes ur life.The change starts with us ppl. If we keep this going we all are going be extinct. I’m not talking race but mankind as a whole.

This was my cousin. He alway brought fun and excitement everywhere that he was. He was always known for saying something crazy, and doing crazy things, but he never wanted to hurt anyone. Yeah, everyone has two sides, but he was a real man that was about his son and cared about his mother a lot. He will be missed, and trust me fam, your legacy will live on. You will never be forgotten. Now you’re at the go-go where the music never turns off, and you can beat your feet all day without pain or anything. Rest in Peace cuzzo.

This Comment of the Day comes from Jacquie Spano who wrote about Rodney Bean:
I lived on Rodney’s street and knew him as an 8 year old boy. He was a wonderful kid; sweet, funny, super smart, loved him. I loved hanging out with him and his brother, and even though I only knew him for a year, he stayed with me through memories. Recently, I thought about him and looked up him up online. My heart broke to find out what happened to him and he looks almost identical to when he was a boy. There’s nothing I can do except keep his memory in my heart.
This Comment of the Day comes from Anonguest who wrote about Raymond Roseboro‘s mistrial.
I believe Mr. Roseboro committed the crime and lied to the jury when he took the stand but I can understand why the jury did not convict. No impartial witness could identify Mr. Roseboro as the shooter. There was no physical evidence linking him to the crime. The bottom line was did the jury believe the two men who were allegedly with Mr. Roseboro and the victim. Neither of them presented well or represented well for the victim. In fact at least one of them was thought to have been the shooter.

Today’s Comment of the Day comes from Tabby3300, who wrote about Lucki Pannell. Pannell was shot and killed on Feb. 19, 2011, while sitting on her front porch with a friend. She was 18 at the time.
It’s coming soon, the first year of her death. This is not something I anticipated celebrating. We should be celebrating how we do every week in the house with all my babies. I been back to the house slowly but surely. Don’t understand why DC police haven’t solved her murder when you have a person of interest in custody. I guess she’s not the right color. Do me a favor: Dont’t call the family anymore until ya have results. Stop harassing them with bs. Stop bothering them until ya get justice for Lucki. RIP Lucki, we gonna make sure ur senseless death is not in vain.

This Comment of the Day comes from Anon, who wrote in about cold cases:
I was a juror on the Davis trial. I am so glad you covered it on this blog. This woman was brutally murdered by her own husband and then he was able live freely for 10 years!!!!! While to verdict won’t return her to her family, I sincerely hope that it gives some level of peace to her family and respect to Elizabeth Singleton’s memory.
