It looks like they caught the alleged murderer of the waiter from Annie's, some 19 year old kid who just kept on robbing even after they had beefed up police and National Guard patrols in the neighborhood. Sounds like he wanted to get caught, or is very dumb. I'm thinking it was both. No, it wasn't a panhandler that did the murder, but then again I never said it was panhandlers doing the murdering, right?
Regardless, there were still plenty of panhandlers around 17th St. even last night. I neglected to point out that the panhandlers are consistently in front of franchise chain stores, and NOT the local-run businesses: Blockbuster, CVS, Safeway, and McDonald's. That's because franchises don't give a shit about the neighborhoods they are in, and don't lift a finger to police their own properties, while the local businesses do. There has been a panhandler outside of the Secret Safeway off of Connecticut and Florida now for 7 years, and the management has never shown they give a shit. The McDonald's in Adam's Morgan is pretty much a homeless shelter.
Anyhow, just listen to gymnast Alexei Nemov, who says: "Everyone please calm down."
He is sooo frikkin' CUTE! Cute lips and cute haircut and a body to die for. I just wanna smooch him all over.
Now that I got that out of my system, I'm off to Philly this weekend for another rugby match against the Gryphons. Match starts at 1pm, post-match social from 4pm to 6pm. I'm not starting, but may get to play a new(ish) position as a center, as opposed to wing, which I played all last year. I wouldn't mind playing wing this year, but shakin' it up once in a while is a good thing. And you get the ball a lot more as a center, and I took advantage of it last night with a lot of good runs. I gots wheels this year for some reason, and the running over the summer to look good for the class reunion paid off in the cardio department, judging by the slowness of the other grampaws on the pitch last night.

I have to agree - in fact I agree so much I just included him in my Olympic Hunks gallery.

I dont think that the franchises dont a shitabout the neighborhoods they are in.
I think it has to do that they don't want to get a lawsuit on their heads. Think about it . Who would have more money to pay off a law suit a small local business or a multi-billion dollar company? Its sad , but thats the world we live in today. I bet you if a place like CVS or McDonalds did something like kick out a vagrant from their store or front property that they would get slapped with a lawsuit.
And yes Alexi Nemov is a cutie,

point of clarification. gurl doesnt think homeless people should be wiped out. id love to see them get mental health treatment and drug rehab.

I used to be a huge men's gymnastics fan, until I realized they are all like 5' 3". Then my fantasies were all ruined, cause my neck would hurt from lookin down.
