If Washington D.C. had no black population – responsible for virtually all gun crime – would these signs be necessary? [‘Thou shalt not kill’ posters coming to DC. Can they help curb gun violence?, WTOP.COM, January 9, 2023]:
Amid recent gun violence that the police chief has called “completely unacceptable,” local community leaders are hoping an age-old commandment, printed on a red and white cardboard sign, will help stem the bloodshed.
“The poster is going to simply say “Thou shalt not kill,” said Philip Pannell, executive director of the Anacostia Coordinating Council, a nonprofit organization based in Ward 8 in D.C.
Pannell will join community activists and leaders mostly from east-of-the-Anacostia River neighborhoods in a launch event Tuesday at 11 a.m. at the Busboys and Poets restaurant at 2004 Martin Luther King Jr. Ave. SE.
Pannell said he’s hoping the signs espousing the sixth commandment will reinvigorate discussion about stopping gun violence.
“There is a percentage of the community that seems to have gotten numb to it — desensitized,” said Pannell. “Let’s be honest, most people do not attend community meetings about violence.”
Pannell said this is not the first time the “Thou shalt not kill” message has been used in the District.
“Around 30 years ago, at the height of the crack epidemic, when we were also experiencing violence and homicides, then at-large Council member William Lightfoot printed-up some ‘Thou shalt not kill’ posters and put them throughout the city,” Pannell recalled.
Pannell said the grassroots effort is “something I think most people in the city can agree with, and is something they can support.”
Pannell said the D.C. mayor’s office is providing 1,000 posters that are set to be delivered Monday, and Andy Shallal, owner of Busboys and Poets, is underwriting the costs of printing 2,000 posters.
After Tuesday’s news conference, posters will be available to the public and can be picked up in the lobby of Busboys and Poets.
“The message ‘Thou shalt not kill’ is just as powerful and just as relevant in 2023 as it was thousands of years ago,” said Pannell.
Nope. Pathetic.
Black lives don’t matter, because black people can’t stop shooting/killing each other in Washington D.C.
If D.C. had no blacks, these ‘Thou Shall Not Kill” signs would be unnecessary.
Isn’t this a violation of the First Amendment? Biblical quote and all? Separation of church and state?
Well, I guess it’s OK to tear up the Constitution if it saves even one Black life.
Washington D.C. could have zero Black population and these signs would still be needed, for posting throughout Congress, Executive Branch Offices, the Pentagon, the CDC, etc. The wording could be altered to something like “Thou shalt not commit mass murder” or “Have you hugged your Boeing lobbyist today?” or “Celebrate Sudden Adult Death Syndrome.”
Blacks killing blacks sounds good to me.
There’s not enough.
Reminds me of President Ford’s approach to the problem of soaring inflation: just print up a bunch of “Whip Inflation Now” buttons and make everybody in government wear them. Yeah, that’ll do it. The idea is that we can just WILL ourselves into a better world, and it will somehow magically happen. We are ruled by idiots.
Planet of the Apeport
Perhaps the biggest failing in this is that it assumes these vermin can read.
Do they really think this will cut down on murders?
How about a more secular version? — Murder is strictly prohibited by law!
But no actual law enforcement, right?
Lol. They might as well put-up signs in all the appropriate locations saying things like, Thou shalt not steal/shoplift, thou shalt not engage in brawls, thou shalt not chimp out etc. None of it would make a bit of difference and it’s a total waste of time, money and effort just as the thou shalt not kill signs are and “Gun Free Zone” signs are. As for that, notice how they didn’t say anything about the results of the previous efforts over thirty years ago? It’s all just window dressing and a “feel good looksatme” moment that produces nothing and they know it. How about another march against da violence or another candlelight vigil fo’ da victims instead? Surely, the ten thousandth time will work! Maybe mo’ programs and mo’ money fo’ de community which has also never produced anything of value or benefit except for the grifters that pocket the cash?
My understanding is that in the original language of that time, the translation should have been “Thou shall not murder,” instead of “kill.” It was not quite interpreted properly.
Gonna need those signs in nearby Montgomery County Md too!
Why stop at Thou Shall Not Kill? Stores in DC can have signs that say Thou Shall Not Steal. Cars in DC can have bumper stickers that say Thou Shall Not Covet.
I think well-meaning and not so well meaning people don’t realize how deep and persistent black dysfunction is. It can’t be solved by moral suasion, or cash, or gun control, or school, or any of the other schemes (tax incentives, community centers, lead removal, etc.). In fact, it may not be solvable at all.
What a joke – I’m sure all the homies will now sit back an studiously reflect on their bible verses… Maybe it should be printed up in some sort ebonics such as, “don’t cap da mufukka, bitch”.
Well, I guess it’s OK to tear up the Constitution if it saves even one Black life
No, but we can amend it into meaninglessness
“Busboys and Poets restaurant”….lol!!! It’s like most of their first names, you read it and immediately know it’s black and a no-go zone. At least they are nice enough to warn us most of the time.
Well, of course. The meetings should occasionally discuss petunias or daffodils, maybe even consider roses.
No, it is not a First Amendment violation.
is not the government.
Please quote the section of the Constitution that uses the phrase
?
It was summed up nicely in the opening sentence: if D.C. had no black population would these signs be necessary at all? Of course they wouldn’t. If the U.S. had no blacks or browns it would be paradise. Except for the liberals trying to f*ck things up.
BCM black crimes matter
Blacks seem to have lost their self-understanding. Blacks who want to see more of their group survive (I assume these are black-gov types putting up the signs) have to start from the premise that blacks will always do the opposite of what they think whites want. So the approach should be something along the lines of whites making fun of blacks, whites rejoicing at black dysfunction. I’d start some kind of meme that in Vegas, whites are actually making money betting on black murders in D.C. Then watch those dis-killings plunge. Take that whitey!
This is how blacks and Leftists combat massive crime and violence. Instead of removing criminals from society, they put up signs.
I’ve also read that the phrase about not letting a witch live was also misinterpreted and really said “thou shalt not suffer a poisoner to live” in the original text. In the same vein, the text about Moses and the Israelites crossing the Red Sea is said to actually speak of the “Sea of Reeds” which was an area in the northern section of Egypt and was a low-lying flood plain/marsh area. It seems some words/phrases may have gotten mistranslated from Hebrew to Greek to Latin to English etc.
Do you remember that weird cult-like church by the name of Westboro Baptist Church? They were in the news years ago for holding protests with signs saying, “God Hates Fags” etc. I once contacted them back then to ask questions about the possible misinterpretations I mentioned and foolishly expected a reasoned reply. Instead, I got an email that was absolutely dripping with venom and hate and basically ranting, raving and screeching at me. I responded by telling the preacher he was a screaming idiot and to F off and then blocked him. Lol.
I was making a sarcastic jest. At a school I attended, they painted over some Bible quotes in the auditorium. Nothing about God, probably something from proverbs, but it was Biblical so some Jewish faculty insisted it had to go.
Btw, the mayor’s office is the government, and they are providing 1000 posters.
And the “separation of church and state” is from Thomas Jefferson’s personal correspondence.
Here is a prime example of “lawfare” gone amok…
I can remember when jewish organizations that touted “separation of church and state” pushed their agenda to the extreme–instituting lawsuits against municipalities who chose to allow Christian-based Christmas displays on public property.
The lawsuits were numerous, from big-city displays to small towns-public displays of Christianity were outlawed. Jewish groups were aggressive in using “lawfare” to remove Christianity from the public square.
It’s turned full-circle.
Christian Christmas displays are still prohibited on public property while jewish menorahs are cropping up all over the place. Hell, even the White House proudly publicly displayed a large jewish menorah, without a squawk from the “(jewish-run) separation of church and state” crowd.
Jews no longer couch their hatred of Christianity in legal terms, but are overtly brash and confident in their hatred of Christianity.
While we are at it, let’s close down their most repulsive buildings, the American taxpayer-funded “Holocaustianity™ temples” and deport their acolytes who are perpetuating their prayers, damning and blaming all gentiles who did not “just do something”. The “piles of shoes” and “clothing”, “eyeglasses” and other materials mean nothing as they are merely “Hollywood- props” meant to evoke a response from gullible visitors to these “jewish freak shows”.
You see, “jewish suffering” is unlike any other and as such, must be memorialized by erecting these American taxpayer-funded “jewish freak shows”.
“Holocaustianity™ temples” have no place anywhere in the world as they are totally based on fraud and deception–two prime jewish traits.
Taxpayer funding of these “jewish freak shows” adds insult to injury and should be prohibited as their existence constitutes promotion of one religion over another–expressly forbidden by the First Amendment to the Constitution.
As a further insult, some states are mandating the brainwashing of vulnerable children by mandating public school student visits to these “Holocaustianity™ temples”–“jewish freak shows”. It would appear that requiring schoolchildren to attend “Holocaustianity™ temples” violates the “separation of church and state”.
It is long overdue for ((them)) to be kicked out of country 110…
The signs will quickly get bullet holes in them. They will make great target practice. It’s really delusional to think the local hoodlums are religious.
Separation of church and state was a joo concoction to run Christianity out of the country. Notice how no federal buildings can have Christmas decorations but Hanukkah is allowed.
Every. Damn. Time.
WE HAVE A WINNER !
YOU for Ruling Warlord/First Citizen/Chief/Kicker Of Asses-Taker Of Names/Main Man etc.
What, Anarchyst has a problem with the Joooos? You gotta understand that there’s Jooos and there’s Jooos, i.e., “two Jews, three opinions”.
The lefty progressive Joooo factions, who have been dominant for too long, but are on the wane demographically as the right-leaning and Republican voting factions have children at far above the replacement level, are behind the regrettable de-Christianization of public space: both the physical landscape, and the school curricula.
Too few of them tune into sites like Unz to have even a slight clue of the anger and bitterness which that has engendered; and not altogether unjustifiably so. Therefore, they totally don’t get that the emergent generation of neo-nazis aren’t solely uneducated yahoos who like to dress up and sing the Horst Wessel song.
But let me be the first to tell you that the Jews putting up giant menorahs downtown tend to be Chabad Lubovich types who generally don’t have any problems with seeing creches in front of City Hall or having Christmas concerts in the public schools. “Fine! OK for them to celebrate their thing, OK as well for us to celebrate our thing.”
Violent recidivist black male criminals in D.C. and other cities now have a de facto as opposed to a de jure right to commit murder and other violent felonies. The D.C. jails are for Jan. 6 “insurrectionists” charged with trespassing and other misdemeanors, many of those who haven’t been convicted and sentenced to prison still denied bail and the right to attorneys and buried in solitary confinement, apparently with no TVs to watch of radios to listen to or even books and magazine to read, and routinely beaten and tortured by black guards.
Life in “black run America.”
The nigs would bet the over then go out and make sure they won their bets.
They can probably read that. At least, the word “Kill” is popular in rap lyrics. If not, taxpayer paid “Violence Interrupters” can read it to them.
Might as well print it on toilet paper. It would more than double the utility.

Then make attendance mandatory in order to activate your EBT card.
the church of satan wants equal time with the joos etc.
Send ammo.
One episode of “Cops” taught me why blacks don’t report crimes committed by other blacks.
This black guy called 911 and said he was beaten up by thugs.
The cops showed up and saw his bloodied face.
They asked for his ID.
He provided it.
They ran him through their computer system and realized he had an outstanding warrant.
They arrested him!
G. Poulin————-I see your President Ford’s WIN,Whip Inflation Now; and raise you Jimmy Carter’s “Moral Equivalent of War.” MEOW was ,like totally, the best battle cry evER!
The DC public affairs group really want to help we can see that with a “Thou Shall Not Kill! sign.
And they should be proud of in theory a good idea.
Most folks in the heroin distribution trade-gangs will just look at this signage and say…..well don’t steal my sh*t Or don’t undercut my sales brud!
Otherwise, it will become just another platitude.
I say this because in my former neighborhood in East Garfield Park West – Central Chicago, they, I could not say who, took the large wooden signage down (it was a pistol with a cancel sign over it), and they broke it in half!
My neighborhood was plagued by gang-associated tit for tat murders along several blocks.
I imagine similar scenarios in DC-Town.
Note: Cannot keep from wondering if that hideous yellow block lettered graffiti “bLM” painted along the avenue did anything to assuage or help the matter stated? Other than piss off a lot of people who have to see that on a daily basis that is.
Wouldn’t help. School is mandatory, and they’re still idiots.
Drive by Teddy Bear drop
Didn’t work then, either.
If there were no blacks among us we would not, we never would have had the insane anti-White, anti-human govt. we presently have. I mean, you didn´t think of this?
Personally I prefer the atheist version of the Decalogue, just one, um, suggestion: Thou shalt not be an asshole.
I support this.
But I think this is better.
“Thou Shalt not Steal! Looting is not a CIVIL RIGHT”
Pass these out to Black A Americans attending a church or mosque.

Servenet—– No anti-White hate without black people???? Hhmmm. I have heard that it is possible to actually program White coeds to hate the White race. Surely,they couldn’t be that stupid.
I don’t use Twitter but I’ll have to assume that videos such as this one don’t seem to pose a problem and are kept up? Also, why would a video like this have over 3K “hearts”? Does this mean at least 3K low IQ animals (of any race) find this video “to their liking”?
WTF even PROMPTS something like this to happen in an airport baggage claim? Oh, wait, sorry, dumb question. I see what the common denominator is. In all my 52 years, I don’t EVER remember violence being a “thing” in airports or airplanes until just recently – since this black privilege thing kicked in from an economic standpoint, leaving the country-at-large naked & vulnerable to the ensuing enrichment as these ghetto apes roam well past their usual s*** hoods, into the territory that used to be a normal, pleasant space for civilized peoples who both maintained and enjoyed it.
On the positive side, it did my heart good to see that shining example of a real man protect his girl. It was disgusting to see those BEASTS grabbing at his clothes – what IS IT with these animals and clothing removal/nakedness in fighting? It’s one of the biggest reasons I tend to avoid the sheboon-variety videos – I usually end up partially traumatized from seeing things my eyes don’t need or want to see. SHAMELESS.
Funny thing about it is that many of those who are mocking this are probably conservative Christian types who don’t see the similarity between this and their own side’s usage of bible thumping as a substitute for real solutions to problems.
“Not murdering random strangers or even people you have a grudge against isn’t just a good idea.
“It’s the Law.”
One fine day, “Holocau$t Museums” will be repurposed with exhibits exposing…
— Jew gangster support for the ADL & the Holocau$t Industry,
— countless (((false flags))),
— (((endless wars & war crimes))),
— (((anti-White genocide))),
— (((masters of the transatlantic slave trade))),
— (((Nakba))),
— (((financial fraud))),
— (((betrayal))),
— (((censorship))),
— (((“Holocau$t” fraud))),
— and the detailed accounting of reparations (((they))) owe the rest of the world.
Nope. Witness Weimar Germany and Soviet Russia. Wherever Jews are, they set about the same insanity; I suspect they can’t help themselves.
Ashkenazi Jews, anyway…I can’t really say I see reason to level the same charge against the Sephardim and the Mizrahim.
But to return to the point: the blacks are definitely a convenient device rather than a prerequisite. We let in all those Jews, we were for it. Whatever was here was secondary.
It’s not just a commandment, it’s a good idea.
