Bulletproof glass between the retailer and the “customer.”

You pay first, then tell the retailer what you want, and your order is passed through a bulletproof turnstyle.

It works in other crime-ridden cities. Why not D.C.?

Those barriers are racist because it assumes that all BIPOCs are thieves. It's the same as crossing the street when you see a URM coming. The vast majority are not criminals.

Non-criminals are not offended by necessary crime protection measures.

Plexiglass barriers are demeaning and racist. White people in Potomac wouldn't stand for it either.

If you don't think these have ever been used in D.C., you either just moved here or you've only lived in a small handful of neighborhoods.

“Oxford defines a crisis as a time of intense difficulty, trouble or danger. So I would say that we find ourselves in an intense time of trouble or danger, so I would say there is a crisis,” Appiah told members of Congress.”

Jesus, this is either the most idiotic statement ever or genius in its ability to say something and nothing at the same time.

I am going with genius and am going to start importing dictionary definitions of obvious words to waste time into all my meetings.

How does one avoid becoming a victim of this sort of robbery? Victim was walking along in broad daylight and someone jumped out of a stolen car to chase the elderly man at gunpoint.

There was also a robbery this am, during rush hour, in the 4200 block of Connecticut, right by UDC, Van Ness metro, Starbucks, Giant, Moms (still not open). Broad daylight, just before Pinto's ward safety walk started.

Oxford dictionary defines a meeting as, “a sports event or set of races, especially for horses”. I would not describe what we are doing a sports event for horses, so I am adjourning the meeting.

We were so close to Dr. Martin Luther King’s dream and then all of a sudden we had the 1619 project and CRT and now every person and every object is racist.

What a sad day for America.

Oh look another right wing moron talking about CRT who has no idea what it actually is...

CRT is the mistaken theory that everyone and everything is structurally and systematically racist. Hence the barrier is racist.

Aaaannd you proved my point exactly. "CRT is whatever bad things I think it is" is the incorrect answer.
