Inappropriate. A boy was mugged -- insert GDS slam here. Is that how your mind works?

And yet, no one has spoken up to challenge the derogatory comments about Wilson.

Shame on you for inferring that students at Wilson are "shadier." Racist much?

I'm pretty sure that was addressed on the first page when the use of "shady" was condemned.

I guess the secret service was right about the Obama kids being more secure at Sidwell.

You can be Asian and Hispanic. Race vs. Ethnicity...

Oh sure. Because people who fit that description are just everywhere.

Yes but it's a very nice, safe neighbirhood. AU Park. The probem is the nearby DCPS Wilson high school and the close by Metro Station in Tenleytown. Both bring in a shadier element.

Shadier? Seriously? Do you mean African-American students? Metro commuters?

NP, how about "troublemakers looking to prey on defenseless people in the area'? The troublemakers sometimes attend Wilson and other times they just use the easy access of metro to reach their prey.

thank you, NP. Exactly what I meant.

Ah, you went there, not me. Lots of white kids, hispanic kids, blacks kids and kids of mixed "race" at Wilson. I was thinking only of the fact that Wilson has metal detectors and kids who have been arrested for assault - that is the shady part. When you have to worry about teenagers, of any skin color or ethnicity or economic background, carrying guns or knives or assaulting others on the metro, then you are clearly dealing with a shadier type of person, one who may be looking to rob, steal, or harm others. Also, the metro allows easier access and exit from the area for anyone to come to the area and commit crime.

Shockingly enough GDS has kids who have been in trouble with the law too. It has nothing to do with Wilson but with an increase of crime in the neighborhood. Kids are being targeted (both public and private) because the criminal element (one caught and description of others being sought all point to older criminals who don't live in the neighborhood) knows these kids have phones and probably some cash on them. Your shadier type of person can travel by car, bike, foot, bus, metro, etc. In fact, considering metro has cameras it is LESS likely due to the proximity of metro (or Wilson) for that matter. Metal detectors at Wilson has nothing to do with is at all.

If there had been 3 assaults on students in the neighborhood around an EOTP school in the last week, DCUM would be *howling* about how they knew that the other side of the park would never be safe, and how can people delude themselves into sending their kids to school there.

But when the AU Park neighborhood has a veritable crime wave, everyone can conveniently blame minorities and no one has to feel badly about sending their kids to school in a dangerous neighborhood. Funny how that works.

I am pretty sure if there were assaults/muggings/stabbings of children on their way to/from any school everyone should be up in arms regardless of location. This isn't an EOTP/WOTP thing. Kids should be safe around their schools.
