National Guard doesn't notice woman being stabbed right across the street in D.C.

[tblue37]

At 3 pm Wed., a woman was stabbed just off a busy intersection on H Street, NE. National Guard members were dining al fresco at a taqueria DIRECTLY across the street, yet the suspect got away. "So safe," a local texted us.

Their goddamn bank accounts looking at all the money they are making standing around doing nothing.

Fuck them I have no respect for that shit.

3. Those "dumb fucks" don't want to be there, and TACO just gyped them out their housing checks by deactivating ...

... them one day short of benefits activation, and then reactivating them a day later. Don't blame the troops, blame il Douche who is interfering with the DC police.

4. I don't know whether they want to be there or not

That's not the issue The issue is that they are there.
They could resign if they wanted to but they don't because they get paid to be there.

Like I said I don't have any respect for that shit at all and no pity either.

8. What money?

These people have partial housing allowance, no health care, and their paycheck, being paid as active duty military, lags far behind their civilian paychecks.

2. They were busy policing the litter in the parks.
