Yesterday, the President of the United States held a big press conference to announce that it’s illegal to break the law. Not to be outdone, today the mayor and police chief of DC held a press conference that actually doubled as a crime scene.
An ABC7 News car was broken into while the crew was attending a press conference held by D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser and Police Chief Cathy Lanier to discuss a Task Force created to fight robberies.
According to ABC7 News reporter Stephen Tschida, thieves tore through the news vehicle Wednesday morning and a culprit smashed a window out of the car and stole a cache of equipment.
Tschida said the crime happened within view of where the mayor and chief were speaking, approximately 100 feet away.
Okay, okay, I know what you’re thinking, but just settle down. Check it out, wingnuts: A robbery, which is what Bowser and Lanier were talking about, is when you steal something under threat of violence. That’s not what this was. This was a burglary. Completely different things.
Now the cops just need to hold an anti-burglary press conference. Will it get held up?
