This shooting took place on perhaps the swankiest stretch of the swankiest road in all of DC. Most people who live in DC have never even heard of this street much less been there.

This will change many blue minds. No one is safe. Anywhere.

No, in fact it says the opposite to me, targeted hit of rich persons property. Probably disaffected employee, organized crime, or someone with a personal grudge against the security staff member.

If I lived even right next door I wouldn't be concerned. [/quote]

We have a house nearby and I can’t think of one family that has security. There’s a reason they felt like they needed it, and it has nothing to do with DC[/quote]

I live nearby too and many have security.  What are you talking about?  [/quote]
They really do not. I’ve lived nearby since the 80s and know practically every house. There are a few diplomats with security snd occasionally there will be an administration appointee with secret service and in the late 80s there was a neighborhood watch type setup, but that’s it. [/quote]

I am not talking specifically about just Chainbridge.  There are people with security who live nearby and around Battery K park.  So yes they really do.  Things have changed since the 80s.  [/quote]
Thanks - I own a home nearby and walk the area daily. Grew up there in the 80s. Things have changed for the better since then. As much as you say it’s true, it’s really not about the security. I could tell you who lives in pretty much every home in the neighborhood [/quote]

All we are talking about is who has security teams, so it is about security.  And they have it.  In place. Right now.  I live there too. [/quote]

OMG just stop. Noone normal (e.g. not inclding foreign or domestic govt officials) who lives in Palisades, Kent, Wesley Heights, Berkeley, etc… has a security team.  It’s just not a thing for normal rich people. Stop with the bs. [/quote]

Define “normal” rich people.  Are you discounting the billionaires and near billionaires?  I am not talking Big Law partners or even private equity people who recently built $20 million dollar homes.  I would give the addresses but of course can’t.  There are many people in those very areas that have security teams who are not in government or foreign officials.  You clearly are not aware.  Why would I make it up and why would you doubt?  [/quote]

you mean that monstrosity on 44th place? [/quote]

Maybe. [/quote]

ex carlyle guy built that place[/quote]

Indeed.  But he is also not even close to being one of the wealthiest people in the neighborhood.  [/quote]
