| This is awful. |
No, actually, the rate of violence against black women in DC is higher than white women. |
|
Does DC have any CCTV cameras?
I know there is one video of the suspect. |
By complete and utter strangers? What’s the stat on that? |
I don’t know statistically but I’m white and I know significantly more black women who were killed by a stranger in DC than white women. |
Why does it matter? Do you honestly believe there's some kind of random hate crime epidemic against white women? FWIW I'm sure it's higher for black women, it just doesn't get reported. I posted a link to a murder near Gaulludet this year of a black women that got basically zero news coverage. |

As much fun as you all seem to be having living in D.C. I think I'll just stick to the No Va suburbs, thanks! Even Ashburn/Assburn is looking a whole lot safer than anywhere in D.C.

I live in Silver Spring (Four Corners) and my area continually gets crapped on over on the real estate forum. To date, according to that map, no homicides. I'll take that. |

I have noticed that even tony McLean and its Giant and Safeway shopping centers and Dolley Madison Library/park is getting sketchier, too.

I'm a petite white women, have lived in DC proper since 1994, and have not been the victim of a crime once. And I've been all over the city, yes, even at night. This was a freak incident. Horrible for sure, but not common. |
I know of significantly more black women who were killed in sketchy areas. This is unique because of the location. White people are supposed to be safe in Logan’s circle. That’s got everyone freaked out. |
Why was she killed? What was the reason?? |
That’s just disgusting.

Reminds me of this random stabbing by a homeless person in Seattle:

Wow. I tried to find out what was the outcome but only see the trial kept getting rescheduled. |
