[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Oh good, now the shootings are happening in Georgetown. Maybe our city leaders will start to actually give a f*ck. 13 year olds shooting at each other in broad daylight last week at a busy intersection in NE doesn’t get anyone to care, but oooooh not Georgetown!!!![/quote]

Actually I’ve always cared about those kids and have worked to reduce gun violence but if you don’t see that someone being shot at prime time in what has traditionally been a ‘safer’ part of town as a concerning shift, then I don’t know what to tell you. [/quote]

Are you a city leader?? I sure hope so. Because this tells me all I need to know - that you live in a sheltered, privileged bubble and don’t actually care about this city or the people in it outside of your precious “safe” (aka white) neighborhoods. But keep telling yourself you’re working to reduce gun violence by getting worked up over shootings in *gasp* Georgetown. [/quote]
This crap is so played out and simplistic and disingenuous. It’s also exactly why crime will only increase across the coty and eventually will have severe consequences for the economic health of DC. [/quote]

Is the gun violence getting a little too close to your upper northwest neighborhood?

The only problem I see with this is the city will commit even more police resources to Georgetown and upper NW. If they took a few of the cops who sit on MacArthur Blvd all damn day hoping to catch some mom in her expensive SUV going 35 mph and move them to the neighborhoods that desperately need them, gun violence would go down. But instead this city is beholden to keeping wealthy white neighborhoods safe, while letting black youth grow up in war zones.  I’m sure they find that crap played out and simplistic, too. [/quote]
