[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Almost all homicides in DC are among persons known to each other. In other words, if you don't hang out with criminals and drug dealers, you don't have to worry about being murdered. A typical UMC white woman is at a greater risk of being murdered by the man sleeping in her bed than a stranger on the streets of DC.[/quote]

What about armed carjackings? This was a rarity in my neighborhood and now I feel like there is one every week if not more. [/quote]

Don't leave your car running unattended in the middle of the road because you can't be bothered to find a parking space to pick up your food delivery order. That alone would eliminate 90% of the carjackings in the city -- not to mention keep traffic flowing. [/quote]

Or .... we could respect each other’s personal property I am not goi g to steal your car because it’s running and has the keys in it. But I was raised that way, wait a minute, no forget it. [/quote]

+1. Right? I have so many family members who live in places where they don’t have to constantly keep track of whether they locked all the doors and did all of the other things to fortify the home for another day. [/quote]
What gets me and is also simultaneously a good indicator that things are getting bad is that like this PP, people blame the victims of crime like its their fault. Like every should just expect that the entire world outside of our door is just out to get us. It's incredible frankly.

These people are all like, "durr, durr, its your fault that you had your car stolen with your baby in it while you were loading your groceries, it should not have been running to give your baby a/c and a place to rest because you don't have four hands" and "durr, durr, if you don't want someone to pickpocket you then you should have zippers with locks on them like smart people do, get a clue" or "durr, durr, if you don't want to get clipped by stray bullets in your own home then you should always wear a bullet proof vest. otherwise if you get shot its your fault".

How about we blame the criminals and not the crime victims? There are too many people in this city making excuses for criminals.[/quote]

DC native who left for suburbia a few years ago (though more for school/space reasons than crime). Shortly after we moved, I saw a kid’s bike left for several days on one of our neighborhood trails. My mind was blown that it stayed there for so long.  :D [/quote]
