Mayor Muriel Bowser of Washington, DC, was ripped off on Sunday for posting a deaf-mute tweet about preventing car theft days after an Uber Eats driver was fatally carjacked.
Bowser shared a video on the Metro DC police on « preventing car theft » following the death last Tuesday of Mohammad Anwar, who was killed after allegedly assaulting him by two teenage girls wielding electric batons.
“Car theft is a crime of opportunity. Follow these steps to reduce the risk of your vehicle becoming the target. Remember the #ProtectYourAuto motto, « Bowser wrote in the since-deleted tweet on Sunday.
Anwar, 66, died when he was thrown from the car onto a sidewalk. The two girls escaped without being hurt.
Bowser’s tweet was met with confusion and disdain among online users searching for words of compassion.
« Mayor Bowser keeps making new lows, » wrote Porter Orvetti . « Immigrants and DC citizens deserve better. »
Another user, Gabriella Hoffman, said the tweet may have been released before Anwar’s death, but it was « extremely deaf ».
