That forum gets more upset over a bike line being blocked than sexual assault. Not worth your time.

sad but true. I am actually a big bike lane supporters, but some of those people will go on and on about “traffic violence” and then lecture you about about how the crime wave doesn’t actually exist.

Mods there plan to immediately lock all posts @ crime. Not sure @ "traffic violence" ones. There is a poll where the overwhelming majority seem to oppose this action/new policy. https://www.reddit.com/r/washingtondc/comments/15xe7m2/poll_on_locking_crime_posts/

Very bro culture. Occasionally has been a good source of intel in the past, can be very quick.

Glad Jeff allows us to discuss issues here.

Reddit has been unusable for a number of years now, I hardly go there anymore. The mods there are the worst

Haven’t you noticed? DC is solid, locked-in, progressive-controlled. From the Mayors office to the council to the ANCs: it is all far-left progressives.

Crime is bad for their reputation. But if you delete news of Crimea, it’s as if no one knows or remembers the crime ever happened. Kinda like “the memory hole” in 1984.

Bet the victims or their surviving relatives still remember the crimes.

I see the following threads right now:

- Bowser proposal to toughen DC's approach to crime draws resistance from the Council

- Assault at Gallery Place station

- Kennedy St crew indicted on drug, gun, and money laundering charges

- Logan/Dupont burglary - I am devastated. What should come next?

- Flashed on the red line (Dupont to Woodley Park)

- Less than 40% of MPD's arrests for illegal guns result in a conviction

- Burgled last weekend (NOMA)

They rapidly delete or lock them.

posts. DC is in the news for its extremely high murder rate and there are a lot of other systemic issues. I don’t buy the explanation that “we had to delete too many racist comments.” I think they were influenced by the people who believe that all discussion of crime is racist because it makes people think about crime. I’ve had run-ins with these types before. They try to exert social pressure to silence discussion about crime.

They -- and the more persistent commenters on that sub who complain whenever there's a crime post -- are coming at this from a position of *extreme* privilege. Because crime hasn't affected them personally, they don't think it's a problem and are completely baffled that people want to talk about it.

It’s more than that. There are “progressives” who believe that talking about crime and tracking crime reports is racist, and they even attack black sources of information (eg the Twitter accounts like Realtimenews.) They affirmatively want to censor discussion of crime.

This is exactly how Democrat elitists continue to hurt black and brown people even more.

It’s a crime to block a bike lane. That sub will be a million times more tolerable if those posts are now removed .

Do you live under a rock?

Reddit Washington DC has STRONG censorship and bans all discussion about crime.

It's like fools like you have only read one book.

Imagine if the rapist/killer in Baltimore who murdered the CEO and attempted to kill 2 others and burn their place down with a child inside were in DC. Those mods wouldn't even allow to talk about it to warn all women out there about the suspect! Absolutely appalling. They're progressivism is the point of being a mental disease. We cannot even have rational safety announcements because hurr durr durr it's crime and we can't have anything that goes against the narrative.


The scary part was that they caught the suspect in Bowie, so who knows if he was making his was down to DC. If he ended up in DC you couldn't even talk about it.
