The email I sent in 2011 about D.C. violence

My parents lived in the white, working-class enclave of SE Washington up until the mid-1950s. Mrs. Kurek, one of their former neighbors, almost got shot in the head during the riots after "Doctor" Martin Luther King was assassinated. The bullet whizzed past her head and got embedded in the wall. The wall had the bullet still in it years later. You could see buildings damaged by the riots up until the dawn of this century. It took D.C. that long, plus tens of billions of dollars in "urban renewal" funds, to be rebuilt to some semblance of its former self. And D.C. is the nation's capital. Now visualize Detroit, Philly, Camden, Newark....

On a day when Congress is in session,a visionary should quickly build a dome over the entire city and lock all the blacks and politicians up together. D.C. problem solved.
