When we came outside, we found an MPD officer and a Whole Foods employee coaxing him out of the street on friggin Wisconsin Avenue, where they’d apparently chased him into traffic on purpose. They saved him but the kids ran away laughing. He was just a dog, I know, but my personal experiences with the Wilson kids in Tenley over the years have ranged from mildly annoying to outright dangerous…and even in the best of circumstances in a school filled with honor students who play the tuba, “rapid release” especially of that many kids in that age group is so so stupid.

The cops should have written a ticket/citation to you for animal cruelty. Who ties their dog to a pole in the middle of a busy city street? Leave the poor thing home!

Putting that aside, yeah, they are teenagers. They are loud and rowdy. But the neighbors in Tenley have a longstanding rep of being racist NIMBYs - the reason Wisconsin Ave looks like shit is because they fight to the death any new development or construction. If they want peace and tranquility and none of "those kids" - MOVE TO THE SUBURBS.

Seriously- obviously the kids (who may or may not have been Wilson students) shouldn't have done that but why on earth were you bringing your dog on a walk if you were going into a store? And even worse, tying her up on a busy street?

Uh, no. at what point do we stop making excuses for shitty teenagers, regardless of their skin color? That is borderline sociopathic to untie a dog and chase it into traffic.

Wilson students are DC residents. They are members of our community and this entire chain is so depressingly hateful.
These students have every right to attend Wilson, to walk the streets and sidewalks of Tenleytown, to enter the stores, to be loud and joyous as they exit school and to be children. Yes, they are children even as teenagers. They have the same rights to make mistakes as your precious baby who will misbehave and throw sand at Turtle Park and picks its nose in K at Janney. And these students definitely have more societal rights to be in this community than the dog that you tied up to a pole. Please stop with all the poorly veiled racism. And it is poorly veiled because the students of Wilson get the clear message that they are not welcome in the neighborhood and this message leaves a permanent impression.

Since you weren't there you really have no idea what happened, but I'm guessing the students thought they were rescuing a poorly treated dog. Or maybe the dog got loose on its own. How dare you assume that they had chased him into traffic on purpose.

This is the actual truthful answer. I live in the neighborhood. They have sealed food sitting wrapped in the chafing dishes.

Typically DC beat up the victim behavior and excuse the psychopaths. Who would chase a dog into traffic? Jesus!!

What do you mean by sealed food wrapped in the chafing dishes? I have never heard that expression.

"Prepared Foods / Hot Bars: Many locations have reopened previously closed self-serve offerings, and indoor and outdoor café seating areas in compliance with local regulations. Where allowed, these areas have reopened with a combination of enhanced cleaning and sanitation measures, social distancing protocols and, in some cases, conversion from self-serve to a team member-assisted service model."

If you'd like, you can monitor WF around the clock to watch the free-for-all at any of their locations. It just so happens that the kids are there at one specific time, there are a lot of them, and they learn by example.

I watch UNC white moms feeding their kids produce, bulk foods, and other items not paid for in my Silver Spring WF all the time.

Is there footage of the teens doing it? Witnesses?

There is something so absurd about the above. Of course they have the right to make mistakes. And yes it's a little grinchy and fuddy duddy to get annoyed by teens, and yes all students are welcome. But children are routinely called on mistakes beginning with throwing sand at someone, in a loving positive discipline way. And those are the ones that are productive teens and grow into productive adults, because people care enough to guide them.

Is the above thread an example of “loving” to you?!
