Former DC Mayor Marion Barry was robbed at gunpoint Monday night by grocery carrying youths.

Barry, who wasn’t injured in the Monday night robbery, said he gave the youths a couple of dollars for helping unload groceries from his car and they left. They returned, however, and after Barry let them into his Southeast apartment, they pointed a gun at his head and took his wallet, which contained cash and credit cards, Barry told WRC-TV.

“Obviously, I’m traumatized. To have a pistol cocked in your face is not something you cannot feel emotional about,” Barry said.

Riiiight Barry. Just an innocent old man asking a few well meaning kids to help him with his groceries. Does anyone else really believe this? I can’t wait to hear the “rest of the story”, like who had the crack, who offered to sell it and who was buying. Stuff like that.
