Gerry Connolly's Fairfax County

Abducting the high-schoolers that Virginians won't abduct—Thanks for keeping our streets safe, Gerry:

This is right down the street from George Washington's Mount Vernon, incidentally.
A man attempted to abduct a 16-year-old Alexandria girl as she was walking to Mount Vernon High School Friday, Jan. 18, according to Fairfax County Police.

She was walking in the 8300 block of Richmond Highway about 4:20 p.m. to an after school event at the school, police said, when a man in a vehicle pulled alongside her and attempted to pull her into his vehicle. She broke free and reported the incident to school administrators. She was not injured.

The suspect was described as white, possibly Hispanic and in his 30s. He had a chubby face with gold-capped teeth. The vehicle was a black sport utility vehicle. It had horizontal chrome stripes, a chrome grill, chrome rims and large tires, police said. [Ed.:—Sounds like a downright upstanding citizen, eh?]

Anyone with information is asked to call Crime Solvers at 1-866-411-TIPS (8477) or Fairfax County Police at 703-691-2131.

Here is what a handful of random people think about this article. But first, the fine print:
The opinions expressed here, even where approved for display, do not necessarily reflect the opinions of this website, the management, or any other entity or organization, with the exception of the Vast Zionist Conspiracy. Those opinions we represent in style, yo. Please keep the language in these comments clean, as this is intended to be a family-friendly, work-friendly website. Comments not compliant with this policy will be edited for content where necessary. Abusive or otherwise illegal comments will be reported to the proper authorities, up to and including the aforementioned Vast Zionist Conspiracy. The Management cannot and will not be held responsible for commenters making a spectacle of themselves, even if The Management are the said commenters in question. In other words, don't take yourself so seriously, folks. We're all here to discuss the news, and more importantly, to have fun. Now go get yourself into some OCD treatment program—you obviously need it if you actually read all of this mess.

Thanks for posting these stories -- as a fellow Northern Virginian I too am witnessing the slow deterioration of our neighborhoods.
