NE DC really is a sht-hle is what I am concluding. I got roasted on here for saying this a while back, but I ended up at the PG County Mall for lunch and ubered back to NE DC. Despite the rep of “PG County” and that mall, it was actually perfectly nice and not at all sketchy. The worst places I saw as I ubered back were absolutely NE DC on Bladensburg.

You do know that NE DC is bigger than Bladensburg Rd, correct?

She was a young girl from Harrisonburg. I’m sure she had no idea and not a lot of money. Poor thing.

She was actually from arlington.

Originally, but living in Harrisonburg. There’s so much development and change in DC, I can see how family in Arlington wouldn’t be keeping track of which neighborhoods are relatively safe and which aren’t. The hotel website is misleading about the neighborhood at best

https://www.ivycityhotel.com/

She wasn't young. She was 31.

DP. Yes, and...? The hotel website is misleading, and if you're not familiar with DC (or have been living elsewhere for years) I can see how it wouldn't immediately trigger a sketchy alarm for her. And it's $200/night. I'm a fairly savvy person and would expect that a hotel at that price point would at minimum be in a reasonably safe area.

+1 I would expect that hotel to have securitt measures i place and the removal of anyone like this guy.

any hotel that has room doors that open directly outside is sketchy and unsafe and ground zero for drugs dealers, pimps and prostitutes since they don;t have to walk through a lobby

This is a wild overgeneralization, unless you're talking about hotels specifically in DC, in which case I agree. But tourists might not understand this, because it's not the case everywhere. They should do research, but not everyone does.

Yes I mean specifically the “near NE” starting around Bladensburg/NY Ave.

Agree with you on PG, I go to that mall all the time and it’s really not sketchy. But there are perfectly fine parts of NE, and there are plenty of spots in NW that are just as sketchy as many in NE. There really is no “one size fits all” for any quadrant.

I have not seen ANYWHERE in NW that comes anywhere near NE levels of sketch. I know that there are plenty of shootings and carjackings, but I have not seen anything like the zombie gatherings at the Starburst.

I'm so sick of this. Why are these sociopaths being released to harm others?

Because you voted for the people who let them loose?

A judge released him. Judges are federally appointed, not elected, in DC. NO ONE voted for this judge. Stop with the simplistic slogans. There are other heinous cases in MD and VA and wherever you are posting from.

Another violent criminal is on the loose after being foolishly released: The teenager who pleaded guilty to shooting the Commanders player did not show up for his sentencing hearing and now they can't find him.

And a hapless, innocent tourist or visitor gets to find out the hard way.

I mean, that's why my advice for tourists is never "avoid SE/NE," its "stick to the tourist spots." Ivy City is not that. And FWIW I go to that little complex with the Lane, Other Half, etc. pretty regularly, but I know the area is sketch and I have my guard up in a way a tourist might not.

She was going to a show at Echostage.

Besides shooting the football player, who has recovered, he killed another 15 year old, no?

The person they can't find is one of two kids who pleaded guilty to shooting the football player. There was another teenager who also pleaded guilty to both the football-player crime and for voluntary manslaughter in the other case. He will be released when he's 21.

So, it's more accurate to say that you voted for the person who put this judge on the bench and allowed a violent criminal to go free to kill an innocent tourist.

This is maddening.
What are the odds that he will kill again?

Um, so you never been to parts of Shaw, Columbia Heights, U st corridor, Georgia Ave thru Brightwood...? Or those don't count as "ANYWHERE in NW"?

These are the same homeless people that the mayor has deposited all along Connecticut Avenue. There are no longer any safe areas in DC. Equity has finally been achieved.
