Murder Cap stories (Potomac Gardens ) Dirty Dozen, Mahdi crew vs Delafield Mob, youth Violence

In this video we are taking one final look at Washington DC during the crack era as we uncover a chain of events that took place in one of the most Notorious neighborhoods (Potomac Gardens) as well as some other incidents that occurred around the city.
However , the main purpose of this video is to show how poverty and the crack era created a high tolerance for violence among our youth, and since then we have not been able to turn it off; even today. We can say, it's the parents, Rap music, poverty, but the truth is, a lot of things contribute to who we become.
This is not to glorify murder. This is also my last video covering the murder cap era in Washington D.C unless someone reach out to me about covering their story.

I like the Georgetown hoyas please help me understand why is it that ALONZO MOURNING seems to be a magnet for troublesome situations In or around 1996, Federal and local law enforcement agents searched the Potomac home of former University basketball star Alonzo Mourning yesterday afternoon after arresting an unidentified man Monday night on federal drug charges. In or around 2003, Two men were shot in the head at Cutz barbershop co,-owned by Alonzo Mourning -MIAMI HEAT NBA Star aka Georgetown University basketball star

[@watitduful]

A good chunk of those murders during that period were just over minuscule things (thinking someone was staring too long, accidentally bumping into someone, killing over a woman, hearsay, etc.) and at times random even. It went beyond just the drug trade.

[@ohhCoOlStOrYbRoO]

Sounds like it isn’t too far from today’s issues

[@watitduful]

@@ohhCoOlStOrYbRoO To some degree I guess. However, I'd say that these days are a lot tamer than what it was at that time by a long shot. Much tamer these days. Back in that time crime was worse.

I remember the wild west of the late 80s and early 90s . I was visiting a friend in the living room of a house in a nice area in NW, unaware her grandson was running a whole crack house in the basement. Something in my gut told me to leave immediately. I cut the visit short, grabbed my umbrella and walked with the quickness up the street to my car. Moments later the street light up with lights from MPD , DEA and cameras from City Under Siege as they raided the house I was just in
