If we are going to see this much violence at a time when Americans are celebrating, what will our streets look like once conditions in this country become extremely harsh? Halloween is always a time when we see a spike in violent crime, but this year we experienced a Halloween weekend that was particularly crazy.
There was rioting in Washington DC, there was rioting in Los Angeles, and there were mass shootings all over the nation. Was this weekend an indication of what the rest of the month of November will bring?
On Halloween night, members of the National Guard attempted to restore order after a “massive group of juveniles” started rioting in the Navy Yard neighborhood of Washington DC…
A video captured chaos in Washington, D.C., Halloween night, appearing to show National Guard members chasing after young people in the Navy Yard neighborhood — just hours before Mayor Muriel Bowser declared a “limited juvenile curfew” across the capital.
The D.C. Metropolitan Police Department (MPD) responded to a massive group of juveniles allegedly “engaging in fights and disrupting the flow of traffic.”
Police said five people were taken into custody, including four juveniles. They face charges, including possession of a prohibited weapon, public consumption of marijuana and resisting arrest.
The video footage of the confrontation between members of the National Guard and these young kids is stunning.
