A “Lil Positivity”: DC Finishes The Year With Less Than 100 Homicides

0

For many in the DMV, this is definitely something to celebrate!

From crack in the 80′s to being dubbed “the Murder Capital of the U.S.” in the 90′s, Washington, DC has gone from roughly 500 homicides annually to less than 100 this year.

That’s something that hasn’t been done since 1963!!

According to ABC News, the decline in numbers has been lowering each year:

The crack epidemic that began in the 1980s ushered in a wave of bloodletting in the nation’s capital and a death toll that ticked upward daily. Dead bodies, sometimes several a night, had homicide detectives hustling between crime scenes and earned Washington unwelcome monikers such as the nation’s “murder capital.” At the time, some feared the murder rate might ascend to more frightening heights.

But after approaching nearly 500 slayings a year in the early 1990s, the annual rate has gradually declined to the point that the city is now on the verge of a once-unthinkable milestone. The number of 2012 killings in the District of Columbia stands at 78 and is on pace to finish lower than 100 for the first time since 1963, police records show.

“It strikes me probably daily as I ride around the city, or sometimes when I’m sitting at home at night, and it’s 10 o’clock and my phone’s not ringing. Or I get up in the morning, and I go, ‘Oh my gosh, I’ve slept five hours,” said Police Chief Cathy Lanier, who joined the department amid violent 1991 street riots. “It strikes me quite often how different things are now.”

The drop reflects a downward trend in violent crime nationwide and is in line with declining homicides in other big cities. Though killings have risen in Chicago, New York City officials say homicides dropped to 515 last year from more than 2,200 in 1990. Houston reported 198 homicides last year, down from 457 in 1985, while Los Angeles police reported fewer than 300 last year after ending 1992 with about 1,100. Across the country, violent crime reported by police to the FBI fell by 3.8 percent last year from 2010.

Though D.C. is hardly crime-free today, and crime in some categories is even up, the homicide decline is especially notable in a place where grisly acts of violence — sometimes not far from the U.S. Capitol — embodied the worst of the crack scourge.

The number of homicides in this city of about 600,000 residents averaged about 457 between 1989 and 1993, a staggering rate that attracted unwanted attention. “A war zone? No, Washington, D.C.,” was the sub-headline of a 1992 People magazine story that described Washington as a “city under siege.” The Economist in 1995 called it “the violence capital of America.” Tony Patterson, a longtime homicide detective, recalled one eight-hour shift when every detective on his squad landed a homicide investigation. Drive-by shootings with multiple victims were common, as were witnesses who’d see something — but say nothing.

Officials say renovations, the Nationals MLB stadium, and of course…gentrification, have all contributed to the low numbers.

Sh*t Is Real: Governor Christie Says Sandy Caused $30 Billion In Damages!!!

0
0

That’s just an estimate too because the overall cost for Sandy’s destruction is expected to rise.

According to The Huffington Post:

Superstorm Sandy caused at least $29.4 billion in overall damage in New Jersey, according to a preliminary analysis released by Governor Chris Christie’s office Friday.

The estimate of the damage caused by the storm, which ravaged the Northeastern U.S. coastline late last month, includes personal property, business, infrastructure and utility damage, Christie said in a statement.

The statement said the preliminary cost estimate is “inclusive of aid received to date and anticipated from federal sources,” including the Federal Emergency Management Agency and the Small Business Administration. Christie said it was a “conservative and responsible estimate” that could be revised higher, Christie said.

Last week, New York Governor Andrew Cuomo said he planned to ask the federal government for $30 billion in disaster aid for the state. Earlier this month, New York City Comptroller John Liu said the storm was costing New York City $200 million a day in lost economic activity, with that amount likely to top out at about $1 billion.

“This preliminary number is based on the best available data, field observations and geographical mapping, and supported by expert advice from my Cabinet commissioners and an outside consulting company,” Christie said in the statement Friday.

Christie said the estimate will be refined in the future to include impact on the next tourist seasons, real estate values and population shifts.

The record-breaking “superstorm” blasted through eight Northeastern U.S. states on Oct. 30, killing dozens of people, battering coastal neighborhoods and forcing mass evacuations. The storm shut down the entire New York City subway system for days.

ChitChatter: Alicia Keys Says Her Friend BeyBey Is An Artsy Fartsy Chick

Beyonce Knowles and Alicia Keys Alicia Keys films a video for her newest single, 'Put It In a Love Song' featuring Beyonce

Call her Bey-Casso cuz she’s nice with a brush!

If Beyoncé ever decides to retire from the stage, she has a career as an artist ahead of her according to friend and fellow recording artist Alicia Keys.

According to WENN reports:

The “Crazy in Love” hitmaker stunned guests at a paint party Keys threw for her art collector husband Swizz Beatz by showing off her watercolor skills and the hostess is convinced the R&B superstar could make a living selling paintings.

She says, “We had canvases everywhere and you did whatever you could – even if you could only splat paint on it… There was something so cool about that for people. Jay (Jay-Z) and B (Beyonce) came… Beyonce’s actually a really beautiful painter.”

This actually isn’t the first we’ve heard of this talent. Bey talks about painting for relaxation’s sake all the time and back in February The UK Sun said she’d been honing her hobby at the urging of sister Solange:

“Solange took painting lessons while living in Paris last year and has passed on tips to Beyonce and she’s really taken to it.

“While her baby Blue Ivy is sleeping, she’s been getting the brushes out.

“It’s a way for her to unwind.

“She has already completed four canvases, including one of husband Jay-Z holding their daughter.”

Would you buy a painting by BeyBey?

Terrell Owens Sells Atlanta Condo For Big Loss

According to TMZ reports:

More bad news for unemployed NFLer Terrell Owens … TMZ has learned the former football star took a major hit on his Georgia condo … selling it off for nearly HALF of what he paid for it.

T.O. — whose finances have taken a turn for the worse as of late — has been dumping his real-estate collection right and left (both his Miami and Dallas condos were already sold) … and now he finally unloaded his 1,060 square-foot Atlanta crib.

The deal wasn’t so great for T.O. — he purchased the pad back in 2005 for $324,600 and then listed it in 2011, where it sat on the market for over a year. He finally unloaded it earlier this month for a mere $180k.

But it’s a steal for the new owner … the cool digs is rockin’ 2-bedrooms, 2-baths … and primo amenities like a 24/7 concierge service, rooftop pool, fitness center, yoga studio and a club room — with Xbox & Playstation.

If T.O. keeps losing houses and money he’s gonna be a deadbeat, homeless, AND unemployed. Somebody keep him on suicide watch!

Deuces: RHOA Kim Zoliack Confirms That She’s Leaving The Show And Reveals Why -”I’ve Taken So Much, But This Was The Final Straw”

Kim Zoliack Confirms Departure From Real Housewives Of Atlanta Reality Show

Despite much scrutiny and some heavy sideeye-age from her fellow frenemy cast members, RHOA Kim Zoliack says she is heading for the door and not looking back at her lengthy stint on the drama-filled reality show.

via In Touch

“I was eight months pregnant and there was so much drama; I just had to walk,” Kim tells In Touch about her mid season exit from the hit Bravo series. “I’ve taken on so much in the past five years, but this was the final straw. My priority was the child inside me.”

The drama unfolded over a trip to the Caribbean island of Anguilla, where co-star Cynthia Bailey would be renewing her vows with husband Peter Thomas. When Kim, who was 36 weeks pregnant at the time and under strict doctor’s orders not to travel, announced she wouldn’t be coming, all hell broke loose.

“They couldn’t understand why I couldn’t go,” Kim — who gave birth to son Kash a few weeks later, in August — says about her fellow Housewives, unleashing their collective fury. “Fighting is what we’re known for, but I’ve never disagreed with a pregnant woman. It’s not one life you’re dealing with, it’s two.”

Hear what Kim’s catty castmates had to say about her reasons for leaving the show when you hit the flip….

Djimon Hounsou Admits That He And Kimora Lee Simmons Were Never Married

As we reported earlier this week, Djimon and Kimora finally announcedto the public that they are getting a “divorce”, but that isn’t exactly what is going to happen…

According to PEOPLE

It’s over for Djimon Hounsou and Kimora Lee Simmons.

“Djimon Hounsou and Kimora Lee Simmons have officially separated after 5½ years,” the actor’s rep tells PEOPLE exclusively. “Though never married, they have one child together, Kenzo Lee Hounsou, who is 3½ years old.”

“There have been quite a few hurtful rumors circulating. The truth is Djimon + I have been separated for some time,” Simmons Tweeted Wednesday. “We have remained happy, loving, co-parenting friends + family. We all have much to be thankful for.”

Welp, at least there won’t be any long, drawn-out, divorce proceedings, and Djimon gets to keep the couple dollars that he came with.

All’s well that ends well…

While some women have been lucky to have their men stay committed to them as the spotlight gets brighter (think LeBron James and Savannah Brinson), others get distracted by all the good looking chicks throwing themselves at them and eff up.  More
