Not sure why this post was deleted earlier when someone else posted about gun shots on 14th street.

Upper NW folk need to stop being so painfully polite. If you see someone shouting expletives in the street, call for help. Start here, non emergency 311 as well, and 911 if you hear threats and the like.

Another attack wasnt reported by local news. |

This is horrible. My MIL lives there, we are there all the time.
How can we show love and support for AAPI? |
| He lives in an apartment bldg nearby ( the suspect). Psychic break? Please call the number above if you see someone shouting to themselfin a deranged way. I would bet a 1,000$ he was doing the muttering about thing for a while before he attacked. |

Behind a paywall.
Please summarize |

Man, I'd love it if someone tried this sh!t with me. I'd knock them the F out HARD. They'd mistake me for a a docile, subservient Asian type, when I am anything but. I've been training in MMA and weight lifting for forever. Just try it on me please.
Asians need to start hitting back. That even includes CCW. Man I'd love it if these punks got what's coming to them. They'll eventually try it on the wrong Asian person. |
This is the same incident - 30 year old man with his parents (ages 54 and 61) was attacked by a 38 year old man shouting that they didn't belong. Happened 3800 block of Wisconsin/at Fulton. Man charge with 3 counts of assault. The father had a broken wrist, son a fractured finger, mother arm pain. The post story did not include the anti gay slur. |
| Another unreported crime - college sophomore from Bethesda victim of a drive by shooting in DC sometime early Sunday morning. Pray for Xan and his parents. |

Not unreported and not in DC: https://www.indystar.com/story/news/crime/2021/08/20/butler-university-student-killed-maryland-xan-korman-shooting/8208586002/ https://www.fox5dc.com/news/butler-university-student-shot-killed-in-prince-georges-county https://fox59.com/news/butler-university-student-killed-in-maryland-shooting-victim-was-editor-of-school-newspaper/ https://www.wishtv.com/news/local-news/butler-university-student-dies-after-shooting-in-maryland-mother-says/ https://nypost.com/2021/08/20/butler-university-student-xan-korman-killed-in-drive-by-shooting/ The stories are not clear on what the young man was doing in Upper Marlboro but sad that he was killed. |
MYOB like the rest of DC. |
A painful sense of obligation that people.need to get over. Everyone has a cell phone - instead of taking a video, call for help when someone is clearly losing it on the street. |
But what if your attacker isn’t a white Trump supporter? What if they’re a POC? What then? |
I would still clown stomp them. |
