Stop the violence.
Knife safety now!

How do we know the kid wasn’t stabbed with scissors?

Scissor control may be what we need.

I grew up in NW DC west of the park and Union Station was our main hangout 7th to 9th grades. Plus Georgetown. In the nineties. My parents didn’t like it because they thought it was unsafe but let us go. We’d take the red line.

We’d get slices or cheese steaks, shop, go see a movie n the beautiful theater.

I have not been there since maybe 2016. How has it changed?

Yes, I lived about a block away in the late 1990s and it was safe and nice, used to grab pretzels or burritos brothers there all the time, go to the movies, etc. It was like a nice mall.

I've been to the movies there. Loved shopping upstairs in my 20s anytime I passed through...they had a great batch of stores. And the canoli place!

I’d wait to visit until after Amtrak redevelops the station. The future plans look exciting, with the station doubling in size.

Amtrak just needed to gain redevelopment rights over the absent shopping mall leasee. Yhe first order of business is to clean up the place and make it safe.

No one needs a knife except for the police of military. We don’t have to butcher our own meat anymore. No one needs a knife. You’d think 9/11 would’ve been enough justification to ban knives, seeing as how 3,000 people were killed with just a few knives. But people forget.

That cannoli place was the best. I can taste that cannoli cream now. It was my go-to for dinner parties in my 20s. Vaccaro's.
