My understanding is that prosecutors want convictions, not trials, and will basically always take a guilty plea.

Curious if prosecutors could have brought more charges under the revised criminal code because he would be not only committing murder but endangering the two children? Also for having a firearm with his previous convictions? Anybody know?

I have been at events catered by Chipotle and it is fun. I would just ask around the affordable casual restaurants in the area that you like and see what they can do! It's not the food that is the big expense, it's the staff time, prep work, plates, etc, so you can probably find a middle ground where you have a big order dropped off or whatever. Also consider food trucks!

As someone with friends who work with DDOT, I will remind everyone here that nearly all of the most progressive and bike-friendly ideas we talk about here, DDOT would love to do. The hard parts are managing limited resources, dealing with local lunatics threatening lawsuits, and prioritizing the work. Our DDOT is definitely an ally, not an adversary, unless you’re that dickbag in Dupont who melts down on sight of a bike

It was the same narrative around the Columbia Heights Target when it opened. Every store takes some time to figure out staffing and inventory, but you’d see comments section on Prince of Petworth implying that shopping there was like surviving a riot, which of course was absurd. A lot of it is barely coded racism.
