When Washington, D.C., resident Rahul Dubey realized dozens of protesters were facing pepper spray and arrest for violating curfew Monday night, he did what he says anyone else would do: He invited about 70 people into his home, to spend the night.
"Literally I can hear skulls being cracked," he said, describing a scene that he recalls as pandemonium. D.C.'s Metropolitan Police Department made more than 300 arrests Monday night — most of them for violations of the curfew. Of that total, Police Chief Peter Newsham said, 194 people were arrested in the area of Swann Street.
I absolutely loved this story. Thank you for reporting it.
Great story

Great social distancing story. Condeming people just a week ago, and now this.
U need to get better at fact checking.
I don't understand why the police would corner peaceful protesters, even after curfew. I understand using non-lethal tactics against them. The curfew must be enforced. The goal should be to get them to go home. Arrest only violent ones.

Those 70 strangers should have been apprehended and charged in the morning
They need to do a short story/movie on this.
Such a brave, compassionate response!
Kudos
Meanwhile, no correction from NPR on the false claim that teargas was used on “peaceful protesters” in DC.
Don't be the silence. Speak up!
👏Congressional👏Medal👏Of👏Honor 👏
I'm proud of him for taking people in. I'm proud of the protesters for protesting. I'm proud of the police for arresting curfew violators. I'm proud of the mayor for letting the police do their job. Everything is working the American way. Lots to be proud of.
The MAGA types will now attack him for.being a sanctuary soul.
🤦♂️
isn’t this aiding & abetting?
This man is a hero and an exemplary American. We should all strive to be the shelter in the storm for our fellow human beings whenever possible.

CHayling Wow, I've never seen a Swann street house that could hold 70 people. People sacrificing for the greater good.
This is aiding and abetting people that break the law.
SaveManning I like Rahul.

MayorBowser You have some explaining... and then firing to do. Wtf!
So he took in terrorists.
What is written on the statue of liberty? If you don't know, look it up. This is America and American values in action.
He broke the law?

Too bad his landlord is more concerned about his money than he is about people’s lives.
He must have a huge house
These police are setting the next stage, they will have undercover fake protesters that will stat to loot residential homes, you’ll see, I saw the script. Then the prez will have a brand new law against blacks, you’ll see
Amazing!!! 🖤🖤
So much for social distancing. Hopefully they’re all staying there for a couple weeks.
Where did everyone sleep?
His compassion is an example to us all. Blessed be, Mr. Dubey!
Hero
Wonder how much stuff was taken?
