Government mashups

Recovering from two weeks in court my eye was caught by this map on D.C. Pedestrian, Recent crimes in DC. The narratives are poetic in their brevity.

C-1 REPORTS THAT HE MET S-1 ON THE STREET AND AGREED TO MEET AT THE LISTED LOCATION. WHILE AT THE LOCATION C-1 WAS APPROACHED BY S-2 AND S-3. S-2 SAID THIS IS MY HOUSE, YOU''RE GOING TO GIVE ME SOMETHING.

Other topics on the site really lack impact in comparison:
- See how much money you save
- See how much pollution you avoid
- Check out the health benefits
