A Chip Off the Old Block

[finnbow]

DC's recently deceased Mayor-for-Life Marion Barry's son, Christopher, went out to show his chops during his ongoing campaign for City Councilman for Ward 8:

A man, whom police officials have identified as Barry, entered the PNC Bank branch in the 800 block of Seventh Street NW about noon and sought to make a cash withdrawal of $20,000. After the bank teller denied the withdrawal, Barry then requested $6,000. He was then told that his account was overdrawn by $2,000. At that point, Barry allegedly became outraged.

“You always give me a hard time,” he replied, according to the report. “I’m going to have someone waiting for you when you get off, you b----.” He then threw a trash can over the security glass, the report said, striking and destroying a surveillance camera while the incident was being recorded on other cameras....

Barry appeared in court with his ankles and wrists shackled. He was wearing a shirt with a large picture of his father on a postage stamp across his chest.

He'll probably still win the seat.
