This seems crazy...killed by a stray bullet eating out with your wife? Do dc people really not feel freaked out by this? Seems like things are spiraling here... |
I do..My husband is walking the dog, and I'm nervous. City Council and Mayor, this is on you. This sux. |
This is really tragic. I’ve lived in this city a long time and can never recall something like this happening. Totally senseless and DC really needs to fix up quick.
|
Here’s one person determined to stick it out. Not sure that everyone feels the same way.
|
It is awful, but we take on similar risks of death or serious injury driving on the beltway. Why does this random occurrence scare you more? |
I actually started laughing at first and then stopped at how offensive and disrespectful it is to the man that was murdered and his family. |
Living in the city shouldn't be a place where this is normed. That's a disservice to residents and saying you don't think the perps could/should make better choices. |
Look, I live in DC. I hate driving and think people aren't careful enough given how dangerous it is-- but this is an absolutely absurd and offensive comparison. |
I think it’s pretty logical, but we’ve just gotten so used to seeing “tragic car accidents”, collectively shrugging, and moving on. Personally, I think we should be just as pissed about both. |
You are trolling to encourage negative responses. I am not going to oblige. You have been told that your conduct is offensive, it would be recommended that one should take that feedback and stop. |
DP. They're right though. This stray bullet is as much of a random and tragic occurrence as a fatal crash on the beltway, only we've been conditioned to accept one but not the other. |
Fatal car crashes can happen anywhere. But are you going to catch a stray bullet in Bethesda or Fairfax? Nope. You DC residents are nuts. |
It can happen anywhere, somebody just caught a stray in Annapolis the other night. Fatal car crashes are much more likely on suburban arterials than the comparatively narrow and slow streets of DC. You suburbanites are nuts. |
DP. I’m a DC resident. If you think violent crime is as high in McLean as in DC, you need a reality check. Stop making excuses for DC’s problem with violent crime. The only people you’re helping when you do that are the violent criminals. |
