I saw them heading across Key Bridge mid-afternoon yesterday. Then a small group was riding back through Crystal City during my evening commute and looked very confused at Crystal Dr and 23rd.

Local LEOs are gonna be pissed if they don’t pull into the bike lane and park where they’re supposed to.

I saw several of those trailers in the empty parking lot next to the Arlington Renaissance Capital View/Residence Inn last night (the hotels across from the EPA building in Crystal City/Potomac Yard). They had markings and labels from various police depts. across the U.S.

There are several on Eads St between 23rd and 18th, don’t know if they were bicycle or motorcycle support.

Should always refer to a kickstand, center stand, or your leg. Anything else is like trying to bench press a weight for which you need a lift-off. Just don’t.

Guy has issues. If he ever ends up committing a violent felony, there’s going to be plenty of evidence to establish motive and intent.

Anytime someone devotes that much time and energy to something with “hate” in the title, I just feel sad.
