Authorities believe the 9 a.m. robbery, which occurred at the Wells Fargo ATM at 4798 Redan Road, is connected to five other armored car heists since September. Wells Fargo has announced a reward of up to $10,000 in this case.
As two Loomis couriers were servicing the ATM, "one was approached by an armed assailant who, without provocation, fired on the courier and struck him multiple times," said Special Agent Stephen Emmett, the FBI spokesman.
The gunman took the courier's bag containing an undisclosed amount of money and jumped into a white Jeep Cherokee from the late 1980s or early 1990s, Emmett said.
The gunman is described as a 5-foot-8 to 5-foot-11 black man in his 20s or 30s, with a medium build and slight facial hair. He was wearing a gray hooded sweatshirt and blue jeans, and carrying a black semi-automatic .40-caliber handgun.

Not sure if this is the same story, but in Seat Pleasant, MD, Domino's delivery man Paul Bennett was murdered I think Wednesday night. It was reported that no money was taken, just the pizza and chicken wings. A source told police that the men were seen selling slices of the pizza on the street back in DC, and apparently threw an active cell phone used to set up the crime in the same dumpster with the pizza and wings boxes.
When I heard it last night though, there were only three men reported as being involved. In the Washington Post, it mentioned $13 being taken but the main motive being the food.
LMAO. It's not funny but niggas robbing a pizza delivery man and then running around selling slices of pizza and chicken wings in the hood is so damn retarded you have to laugh.
Wow. That's so pitiful. Can't say I'm surprised though. It's shit like this that made me move my family out of the country!
DV, please advise regarding the specific diets of the four men pictured.
If they are in fact guilty of crimes, the general profile is: high school dropout; prior arrests; unemployed.
OBTW, per the U3, the official unemployment rate--which does not count the total unemployed--the national rate fell from 8.9 percent to 8.8 percent, but the Afrikan American rate rose from 15.3 percent to 15.5 percent.
Not a lot has changed since William Du Bois wrote these words over 100 years ago:
"If my own city of Atlanta had offered it today the choice between 500 Negro college graduates--forceful, busy, ambitious men of property and self-respect--and 500 Black cringing vagrants and criminals, the popular vote in favor of the criminals would be simply overwhelming. Why? Because they want Negro crime? No, not that they fear Negro crime less, but that they fear Negro ambition and success more. They can deal with crime by chain gang and lynch law, or at least they think they can, but the South can conceive neither machinery nor place for the educated, self-reliant, self-assertive Black man."
MB,
That quote ins't anywhere NEAR true today.
And what do the desires of the citizenry related to the status of black people have to do with these dudes? Or me? Or you?
That quote ins't anywhere NEAR true today.-- JH
SMH at "isn't anywhere near."
*There are more African Americans under correctional control today -- in prison or jail, on probation or parole -- than were enslaved in 1850, a decade before the Civil War began.
*As of 2004, more African American men were disenfranchised (due to felon disenfranchisement laws) than in 1870, the year the Fifteenth Amendment was ratified, prohibiting laws that explicitly deny the right to vote on the basis of race.
* A black child born today is less likely to be raised by both parents than a black child born during slavery. The recent disintegration of the African American family is due in large part to the mass imprisonment of black fathers.
*If you take into account prisoners, a large majority of African American men in some urban areas have been labeled felons for life. (In the Chicago area, the figure is nearly 80%.) These men are part of a growing undercaste -- not class, caste -- permanently relegated, by law, to a second-class status. They can be denied the right to vote, automatically excluded from juries, and legally discriminated against in employment, housing, access to education, and public benefits, much as their grandparents and great-grandparents were during the Jim Crow era.-- Michelle Alexander

I assume you're oblivious to the Prison-Industrial Complex. For crimogenic America these dudes (if they are guilty of a crime) are just manifestations of their self-fulfilling prophecies.
Yeah, sure....American city dwellers perfer vagrancy over property from their Negroes. Sure.
If I can refine my point, I just disagree that people inherently desire black failure. Furtermore, I don't "fail" because "white america" wants me in prision...and I don't "succeed" because they "gave me a chance".
Would those guys not be on their way to prison if they, their family, their mom got more love and weren't a "statistic"? Maybe...but the answer to keeping them out of prison doesn't lie in somebody's opinion of them either. Talk about the psychology of low expectations and self-fulfilling prophesy.
I guess I'm figuring this out as I write...so I'll refine again...even if your quote is as true as those painful stats, citing teh quote is about as useful now as it was then. You're focusing on the wrong thing.
thx for responding....

That's your prerogative. Your focus seems to be on “abstract” people, whereas Dr. Du Bois’ hypothetical poll was based on his reading of the ethos of Atlanta’s majority population in the late 1890s.
Using quotes from Professor Michelle Alexander’s, “The New Jim Crow: Mass Incarceration in the Age of Colorblindness,” I’m referring to the impact of what I call the oligarchic pyschopathocray. However, I’ve contended for more than twenty years that white supremacy, driven by ethnocentrism and xenophobia, is a mass-based philosophy which intrinsically and intricately impacts the ethos of European Americans.

What we know for sure is that these white folks you are calling “American city dwellers” are engaging in gentrification. They are taking “negro property” by the thousands of acres.
[The number of African Americans residing in the District plummeted by more than 11 percent during the past decade, with blacks on the verge of losing their majority status in the city for the first time in half a century.
According to census statistics released Thursday (3/24/11), barely 50 percent of the District’s population was African American in 2010 — a remarkable shift in a place once nicknamed “Chocolate City.”
The black population dropped by more than 39,000 over the decade, down to 301,000 of the city’s 601,700 residents. At the same time, the non-Hispanic white population skyrocketed by more than 50,000 to 209,000 residents, almost a third higher than a decade earlier. The city became a tougher place to live for working-class families, who had to contend with rising rents and soaring property taxes. Many of the new jobs created over the past decade have required higher education.
The phenomenon exposed the city’s fault lines along income, class and race.
“Clearly, D.C. is one of the most polarized cities, by income and education, in the country,” said Rodrick Harrison, a demographer at Howard University who spent 10 years with the Census Bureau.
“You have this unusually large college educated population. And then you have a population that is largely black, with high school degrees or less.” “The Parliament song ‘Chocolate City’ pinned a label on the city,” said poet E. Ethelbert Miller, a leading figure in Washington’s African American arts community. “Well, chocolate melts.”
Miller laughed, then turned serious. “We’re seeing the eroding of a community. If you’re a black person accustomed to a way of life, that way of life is coming to an end. The city ain’t gonna be black no more. ...] WaPo 3/24/11

DV, before I could finish typing the above post, the 9:28 post vanished. Who's doing this--Homeland Security?
Thanks again for the thoughtful feedback....but it seems you're less replying to my point than picking out pieces of my paragraph to serve as a launching pad to repeat yours.
To your points, I say "okay", the way that euro-American's think has been influenced by their notions of white supremacy and xenophobia".
CHECK.
Gentrification. CHECK.
Expanding lower class. CHECK.
Black Population and city centers shift. CHECK.
Those things are happening and are largely results of systemic "white man hold me down". Fine.
I didn't deny your points....I'm just telling you that one, the quote was more important then than it is now....and two, focusing on your oligarchic psychopathocracy (wow!) and the "ethos of Atlanta's majority" is tied to the pathology of low expectations that creates the feeling of "we're screwed", "white man hold me down", "where the naacp when you need 'em", "snore"...zzzzzzzzz.
