A security camera's videotape shows the assailant approaching the woman, who is pushing a cart.

I saw the most sickening video tape the other while watching the news.  I saw a man brutally beat an elderly woman and rob her.

According to the Washington Post

D.C. police yesterday released a security videotape that shows an 83-year-old woman being punched, kicked and stomped during a daylight robbery this week in Northwest Washington. The woman, who was in stable condition yesterday with a broken cheek and nose, works as a street vendor, selling hats, T-shirts and umbrellas. Police declined to release her identity or say how much was taken in the robbery

If you a familiar with the DC Metro subway system, you would see this lady selling her merchandise right at the Foggy Bottom Metro stop (Blue and Orange Line.

DC Police released the tape in hopes someone would identify the terrorist who committed this god awful act. However no one including the TV media nor the Washington post released a description of the man. 

Looking at the tapes he looks like he is black. My guess is had this been a white man committing this crime you would gotten a description plus a composite sketch of an white male who looks like Bo Bice of American Idol.

This is sickening I hope they catch that terrorist soon and lock him up for long time.  But this is DC we are talking about……….. He probably would get community service
