WASHINGTON - A grand feast of marinated steaks and jumbo shrimp was winding down, and a group of friends was sitting on the back patio of a Capitol Hill home, sipping red wine. Suddenly, a hooded man slid in through an open gate and put the barrel of a handgun to the head of a 14-year-old guest.

The five other guests, including the girls' parents, froze — and then one spoke. "We were just finishing dinner," Cristina "Cha Cha" Rowan, 43, blurted out. "Why don't you have a glass of wine with us?"

The hug, she said, was especially unusual. "They should have squeezed him and held onto him for us," she said.

Cops can't wait to exercise justice, even if a "defendand" has shown mercy.

In the alley behind the home, investigators found the intruder's empty crystal wine glass on the ground, unbroken.

I bet many young men get caught up in crime and have pivotal moments where thier either in too deep, or can go back w/a new direction. My fear is that when you're dealing with someone very high on drugs, there is no rational thought to negotiate with. Luck for this family they had a reasonable thief.

Read somewhere else that the daughter's name was "Khyber". Good lord, wonder if they'll find Osama up the Khyber.

Sounds dangerously unamerican to me.
Better lock her up as an enemy combatant just to be safe.
