WASHINGTON

Two groups of tourists were robbed at gunpoint on the National Mall, just hours after the police chief declared a crime emergency in the city in response to a string of violence that included the killing of a British activist.

The activist, Alan Senitt, was attacked in the Georgetown area on Sunday, his throat was slit and police say the attackers attempted to rape his companion. It was the 13th homicide in the city this month. Robberies are up 14 percent, and armed assaults have jumped 18 percent in the past 30 days.

On Wednesday, U.S. Park Police were looking for connections between the latest Mall robberies and three similar incidents in the area in late May. There have been no arrests in any of those cases.

On Tuesday night, two women from Texas were robbed at gunpoint by two men dressed in all black, said U.S. Park Police Sgt. Scott Fear. About 15 minutes later, a family of four from Missouri was robbed by suspects with the same description, he said.

It seems that the Democrats are finally taking the streets back in DC, Convict populations tend to vote democrat 65-90% after all. It is a sad day when law biding citizens have to fear for their lives because the Democrats and their cohorts are finally gaining the balls to show us what they are exactly like. I hope the police in DC can get this under wraps soon; we might need a few more prisons so we can lock up the rest of the democrat leadership. In fact I will not be surprised to find out that the three committing these hold up are Kennedy, Schumer and Hillary. We all know how much they keep clamoring about how we are not paying enough in taxes.
