Last year early in the morning of Sunday, July 26, vigilantes under cover of night, removed the homeless\u00a0<\/span>encampments<\/span>\u00a0on 17<\/span>th<\/span><\/span>\u00a0St<\/span>.<\/span>\u00a0NW, outside the Safeway<\/span>.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>In\u00a0<\/span>a<\/span>\u00a0despicable<\/span>\u00a0act of violence\u00a0<\/span>on residents of the community who have little<\/span>,\u00a0<\/span>a band of thieves\u00a0<\/span>removed and disposed of all their\u00a0<\/span>earthly<\/span>\u00a0possessions including their bedding, birth certificates and cash.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n


<\/span><\/p>\n

The occupants Stevie and Savon returned later that morning to find their \u201cwhole world\u201d gone, as Stevie would say in a WRC<\/span>4<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>television<\/span>\u00a0interview sometime afterward.\u00a0<\/span>At a meeting of Dupont ANC, Ward 2\u00a0<\/span>Councilmenber<\/span>\u00a0Brooke Pinto called the act a crime and vowed to get to the\u00a0<\/span><\/span>bottom<\/span>\u00a0of it. MPD\u00a0<\/span>Third District<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>Commander<\/span>\u00a0Stuar<\/span>t<\/span>\u00a0Emerman collected video tapes from the surveillance cameras\u00a0<\/span>at<\/span>\u00a0Safeway and launched an investigation.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The video tape, published here,\u00a0<\/span>https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=sodd94mw8V8<\/span><\/span><\/a>.\u202f<\/span>only 68 seconds, shows three principals with a hatchback automobile, at 5:30 in the morning make what appear to be several trips, removing the tents an all the possessions of the homeless residents and drive away. The homeless residents were not present during the theft, having been offered a night at an apartment nearby to escape the summer heat.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n


<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

At the time of the removal, t<\/span>he encampment\u00a0<\/span>had been<\/span>\u00a0the subject of an unusually\u00a0<\/span>protracted and\u00a0<\/span>vitriolic attack by\u00a0<\/span>subscribers to<\/span>\u00a0the listserv known as\u00a0<\/span>NextDoor<\/span>\u00a0Dupont Circle<\/span><\/span>.<\/span>\u00a0Others in the\u00a0<\/span>community<\/span>\u00a0were generous with gifts of money, food and supplies.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

In the hope that neighbors<\/span>\u00a0viewing the tape<\/span>\u00a0will recognize the principals in the video<\/span>\u00a0and the automobile<\/span>,\u00a0<\/span>the video\u00a0<\/span>is being\u00a0<\/span>widely<\/span>\u00a0distributed<\/span>\u00a0to assist in the police investigation. If you have information relevant to the case or recognize the principals, you are encouraged to report to the MPD detectives at\u00a0<\/span>202-727-9099 or text 50411<\/span>.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
