NW Shootings

[Anonymous]

Last week behind Lord & Taylor at Mazza.

This week two in one night hours apart. One fatal at gas station near Chevy Chase Circle and the other (non-fatal) in Tenleytown.

No one seems concerned.

I've been concerned about shootings in DC for a long time. I'm not more concerned about shootings in Chevy Chase / Tenleytown. But if you'd like to get involved in advocating for violence interruption then it's better late than never. Starting writing to CM Cheh.

I live nearby and am very concerned. It seems like it was a random attack. The poor victim was a recent college grad. So tragic.

DP. I'd like to see violence interrupted by actually punishing those that commit it. But, that's nothing that our current politicians seem interested in.

Police are asking for public to scour their own private security video. Apparently that is easier than the police coordinating with the city to retrieve traffic cam and video from the fire stations. Police have no real crime prevention tools in the city. If your car is stolen, contact insurance. If you are shot, maybe your neighbors will have a video.

It looks like DC is headed back to the crack fueled days of the early 2000s. Already more shootings this year than in 2009, the year I moved here, and this year isn't even over yet. Sad!

Car theft is through the roof. Car jackings too. Then surprise when folks repeatedly get away with that across the city, and then escalate. The little game of coming across Western Ave to commit crime in DC and escaping to MD is well known too. Where are the citys crime cameras? Patrols? Coordination with neighboring jurisdictions?

So you're ok with people getting caught the first time. Nothing to work on before then? Harsh punishments have been proven to not be effective deterrents.

If it makes you feel better, there have been a rash of car thefts in Bethesda as well.

I'm fine with them getting caught the first time. I'm also fine with efforts to prevent crime in the first place. I'm less fine with, when the crime prevention efforts fail, we refuse to punish anyone out of a misguided belief that people need 4 second chances and that poor misguided youth of age 25 just need more time to develop.

Brother we're not talking about shop lifting. We're talking murder.

The "Violence Interruptors" is a waste of time.

Harsh punishments? Most people that commit violent crimes are repeat offenders with 10+ crimes and don't start that poverty made them do it BS.

Ah, I see. You were okay with it happening in my neighborhood, but now that it’s crossed over to your side of town, it’s a problem.

Keep voting the way you do. Keep getting the results you’ve gotten.

No. I wanted more police when the crime was in your neighborhood. Fully fund the police throughout the city.

If 2019 and 2020 are any indication, even with our city's Hal baked crime stats, violence interrupters have been a smashing failure.
