1. Sad stuff and my condolences goes out to his family.

This did stick out.

"they refused to comment on whether the shooting was related to recent robberies in the neighborhood."

I wonder if there were complaints that weren’t taken seriously and or not acted on?

[fun n serious]

2. I'm suspicious of the whole thing

Did he piss off a republican? I want more info.

5. Since nobody is posting any content, I guess I will.

Seth Conrad Rich, 27, was shot multiple times on the 2100 block of Flagler Place NW, located in the Bloomingdale neighborhood of D.C., NBC Washington reported. Rich was taken to a hospital, where he was pronounced dead. Police patrolling the area heard gunshots at about 4:20 a.m. Sunday morning and responded to the incident. Police don't have any witnesses at the time, and they refused to comment on whether the shooting was related to recent robberies in the neighborhood.

DNC Chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz in a statement commended Rich's work.

"Our hearts are broken with the loss of one of our DNC family members over the weekend. Seth Rich was a dedicated, selfless public servant who worked tirelessly to protect the most sacred right we share as Americans — the right to vote," the Florida congresswoman said in a statement issued to ABC News.

"He saw the great potential of our nation and believed that, together, we can make the world a better place. He was a joy to have as a member of our team and his talents, intelligence and enthusiasm will be deeply missed by the many friends, colleagues and coworkers who worked by his side in service to the highest ideals of our democracy."

It's a sad loss for anyone who cares about people who decide to make this world a better place.

8. At the risk of sounding incredibly callous,

and with all understanding of how terrible this is, remind me again of how many people die every single day of the year in this country from guns? And don't include those shot by the police, either.

As long as guns are so readily available, the carnage will continue.

9. I agree.

We have to vote republicans out and do something.
