Loud ATV drivers at night? City government? Police?

I do worry though. The city will sadly likely re-segregate and the victims of the situation will again be the poorest and most disenfranchised. Particularly the children.

“Resegregate”? LOL.

I think you mean that your neighborhood would “degentrify”.

What are you talking about?! You think ungentrified (what a mental construct?!) neighbors want gangs and losers on ATVs? How condescending

Are you suggesting that there are certain recreational activities that should be off limits to certain populations?

You also seem to suggest that Black folk cannot be “hicks”, which means that you don’t know any Black folk.

You’re up already, race-baiting demagogue? You’ve been leaving scat on every thread. No one is taking you seriously. Grow up and rise above mediocrity in trying to make a cogent argument

The PP was saying that if they leave their neighborhood it will “resegregate” and that will be bad for the “poor and disenfranchised”, which is extremely self centered, arrogant and very much of the white savior mindset.

People of all colors riding ATVs through residential areas are hicks. In DC they are also coming from exurbs (not from the Baltimore bikers, I assure you). Stop digressing with this garbage

Not what was said at all. But you’re not reading to engage helpfully. The thing is that this kind of sophomoric argument has been so overplayed that it’s lost all the barb it ever held. Grow up.

I’m not the one that thinks I’m on a civilizing mission.

The issue, even beyond the criminality, noise pollution, children unable to sleep and study, is this: the message is that a DC resident does not matter. Their rights are easily trampled and sacrificed. No matter the subtext, these types of right erosion never end well, whether in the hands of left or right ideologies.

Criminality glued hand in hand with mendacity. But we shouldn’t be overwhelmed by it. That’s my fear. 2022

Cornel West

That will only happen when everyone starts being considerate again and if we get off social media and start interacting with the people immediately around us again.

Instead, we have dirt bike groups late at night and people fantasizing about seriously injuring them through hidden traps. In both cases people are actively ignoring the humanity of the people around them.

Obviously nobody wants their neighborhood to go down the drain. But these "white savior" politicians like Charles Allen are pushing neighborhoods to "degentrify" by coddling criminals and making condescending excuses for all sorts of unruly behavior.

It’s cute that you are just now learning that just because you’re white you expect special treatment from the city. Being a “DC resident” is utterly meaningless.

[Anonymous]

How is that special treatment?

(Also none of your business the race, but you’re wrong. Can’t believe I stopped down to such a base level of argument).

If there’s no such thing as DC resident and their rights, by all means let’s end the Home Rule and get the federal government and military to take over.

I have a basic question. How many people engage in the illegal nuisance activity with ATVs and dirt bikes? How many have a DC ID? How many with DC ID support it? How many voters?

I bet you’ll find it’s low to no support for a largely non-DC person joyride activity and a massive net negative for DC.

1. These are not Dirt Bikes or ATVs

2. This is PG County and not DC
