He'll be going for e reduced on mental health. The fecker had the mental facility to ditch his t shirt they should fry the b@stsrd
Personally I'd go for death by knifing see if he can take it like he dishes it out. Only then will he truly understand what he did.

How an MSM video of the attacker fleeing. Sorry, no blood and gore.
https://www.cnn.com/2018/09/20/us/washington-dc-jogger-stabbed/index.htmlWow, another woman killed out on a run. This is really scary.
When I visit my family, I usually run in a desolate area in the woods, but there is no way I'm running there next time I go see my mom.

DC has really changed in the past 20 years. I've lived here nearly my whole life. I agree, 20 years ago, that area was very sketchy. Now? As a petite female runner, I wouldn't think twice about running there at 8 pm.
Honestly, I don't think she could have done anything to prevent this, except not be there. I can't imagine being quick enough to use pepper spray or something similar in a case like this. There were people all around - a running partner would not have prevented this.
The golfer being raped and murdered and the jogger being stabbed are horrific and it's easy to believe the US is less safe. However, I've been around for a long time and don't remember women being attacked on a golf course or a jogger running through an area with lot's of people around happening before and I don't believe it's the new normal.
In 2014, 11% of murders were committed by strangers and this number would be reduced even more by subtracting those where guns were involved. As scary these incidents are, the chances of it happening to one of us, or someone we know, is virtually zero.
https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.nytimes.com/2016/08/18/nyregion/killed-by-a-stranger-a-rare-event-but-a-rising-fear.amp.htmlNo comments on how the civilians in the restaurant just ran off when she came in? The article says they tried to save her life but it looked to me like they fled?
I can see being freaked by the blood initially but would hope I'd go back in when I realized what happened.

Yeah but as runners we spend tons of time outside, more than the average person. Between walking my dog 2-3x a day, running an hour or more 6 days a week, commuting to and from work on the train, walking for all of my errands (I live in a city and don't own a car), statistically I am more likely to be attacked on the street than someone who drives everywhere and doesn't run or own a dog.
And this doesn't include all the other assaults, muggings, gropings, and general street harassment women have to deal with on a regular basis, half of which doesn't even get reported. Just google "jogger" and "assault" and you get hundreds of stories -- most just don't end in murder.
My sister in law worked in the DC Emergency room for a couple of years when Marion Barry was in office and crack was rampant. Unfortunately occurrences like this in DC are not too uncommon. Although in DC you always have to question if something was a hit on intelligence personnel. In this case, one would guess not.

Because DC has some of the strictest prohibitions against law-abiding citizens carrying guns.
You mean like Iowa?
DC's actually a lot safer than it was in the 1980s and 1990s. There were people who ran out of the restaurant to find the perpetrator, according to the first story. The office that refused to hold him in involuntary commitment after he had shown himself to be at the least a danger to self has some explaining to do. Probably that's standard procedure in most cases due to a lack of money for it.

In virtually all American cities there are well-known boundaries that it is hazardous to cross. Logan Circle lies right on one of those boundaries.
Another runner killed by "diversity".

That was true at one point, but not currently - I would say that boundary is well east of Logan Circle now.
(and yes, I remember when that boundary was Rock Creek park)
I hope they got the right person/s and and he/they go to jail FOREVER, In the Famous Central Park Jogger they arrested and convicted 5 young men who were later found to have had nothing to do with the rape whatsoever, after years in prison DNA test's Proved they were totally innocent of any wrongdoing that night, good news they were awarded 41 Million Dollars for their wrongful imprisonment, but still 5 totally innocent men were punished for something they had nothing to do with, and the jogger suffered (Maybe still suffering) long term damage from the attack, while the real attacker/s got away with a heinous crime.

"Well east?" C'mon man. I know its hip to say 16th isn't the dividing line anymore, but it's clearly not "well east" of Logan Circle. LC is still dicey after dark.
