We just love the smell of pot wafting about in public places. Some of the same folks who demand bike lanes for safety apparently see nothing wrong with lots of motor vehicle operators driving around high. When a pedestrian can smell it coming from a passing car, it's a public safety problem.

The only alternative to this is re-criminalizing MJ, which is never going to happen. So quit crying.

No. Smoking pot in pubic space is illegal, as if driving a vehicle while using it. The police need to enforce the damn law!

Just imagine how awesome it would have been if the ANCs had their way and stacked dispensaries along Connecticut Ave.

OH NO! /Clutches my pearls.

My pearls pay for your freeloading.

Boom! Nice response

In this thread, people who thing Upper Caucasia is a "dangerous" place to live, who have, indeed, never lived even close to a dangerous place in their entire life.

Didn’t realize folks needed to live in Mogadishu first before they can complain about crime in one’s neighborhood.

Exactly!!

When DC has to play whataboutism as compared to a third world cesspool like Mogadishu, then for sure the District is in crisis.

So the argument is that people should be satisfied with an increasing level of crime that directly resulting from government policy?

People got what they voted for. What’s there to complain about?

Not the PP, but like many of us concerned about the uptick in DC and city wide, I've been in many 'dangerous' places. I'm not going to enumerate them except to say they are considered some of the most dangerous neighborhoods/situations. I have also been in safe places. DC is dangerous. It's made the more dangerous by deniers like you who contribute to the challenges this city faces. What is really disgusting to me is you don't believe in freedom. Freedom to walk in a park in the moonlight, freedom to sit in a running car, freedom to go to the freaking Tabard Inn and have a drink by the fire without the place being robbed. Why don't you go sit in your running car in Capitol Hill and let us know how it goes? Oh, you won't. Because you don't believe in actual freedom. The same people who hurl accusations of pearl clutching ALSO victim blame when people who go about their day in a normal manner are attacked.

Agree with all of this which is why we moved. Nothing will change with so many crime deniers and apologists living in the city. Can you please elaborate on what happened at the Tabard? It was a favorite of mine many years ago. TY!

You can also look up the address on the MPD crime cards, may be a bit more detail there.

Associating anti-crime with anti-black merely reflects on you.

DC is not dangerous. I've walked around at night in various parts of the city and never felt unsafe. Most people are not getting robbed, shot or victims of other crimes.

Be concerned, sure but the hysteria needs to stop.

Careful, you relied on your personal opinion of this (as I did above), now those hysterical ones will come in and call you a delicate snowflake and diminish your personal experience because it doesn't jive with their paranoid worldview!

235 murders this year. We can’t even calculate the number of armed stickups. Your mindset is perfect for a victim.

Most people aren't gunned down by mass shooters.

Most people aren't going hungry.

Most people have housing they can live in.

Most people aren't poor.

Most people don't bike to work.

Most people don't have special needs kids.

I suppose there's a lot of stuff we can stop spending time and money on if our criteria is "does this happen to the majority of people?"

Not PP, but also not at all surprised you don't grasp it.

No idea of the veracity of this but it is interesting and more than plausible.

So MPD should overcommit resources even more to the neurotic pearl clutchers of upper NW dc rather than to the areas that are actually dangerous and have lots and lots of crime because someone's grandma happened to be in a cvs when some people shoplifter or they read about an argument between two people that turned violent in an apartment complex they don't live in on their local listserv?
