[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Only a transplant would think that the crime spike in DC during the summer time due to droves of mischievous, poor and bored packs of street kids is a new thing in DC. Hell the old summer jobs program was built to try and combat just this.  Long time residents know to avoid certain music street festivals, Easter at the zoo and numerous other DC scenes that are completely taken over by them. [/quote]

Yikes--the reference to "by them" is deeply concerning.[/quote]

[i]"Deeply"[/i] concerning? What does that even mean?[/quote]

It's called reality. Let me define 'them' of you. Thug black teens wilding in the streets, firing guns, and making life hell for decent folk trying to enjoy the event.[/quote]

Wow you're a regular Webster's Dictionary...
Define "them" that make life hell for decent folk trying to enjoy watching a movie in a theater for me.[/quote]

Well in that case, I didn't see any white people rioting after the Holmes verdict (or any other white mass killer in recent memory) or demanding his release from prison. Or his family defending him saying "my boy's a good boy! He ain't done nothin wrong!!"

Learn to face reality. Or don't be surprised when people like Donald Trump surge ahead in popularity. Or frankly, anyone else in public life who has the balls to confront inconvenient truths and unPC racial issues in this country. It all comes down to attitude and that's something that boils down to the community and individual that handouts and programs don't fix readily. I know DC has come a long way since the Barry days but that doesn't mean decent, productive people who live and work here should have to make do with daytime shootouts and a complete lack of respect for life and property.

Sincerely,

A concerned young citizen who leans liberal but has had enough of this PC/let's stick out head in the sand nonsense.[/quote]

Quite the example of cogent, persuasive writing.  Residents of DC concerned with crime interested in discussing root causes and the very real impact on our lives aren't doing it on DCUM and haven't deluded themselves imto thinking it's a function of attitude or handouts.  [/quote]

Then what are you doing here then? Attitude and personal responsibility don't matter? Is it possible to support more accountability in our criminal justice system AND be critical of the lack of leadership and accountability in the black community? Or, does one have to side with guilty white liberals living in denial and/or parrot Black Lives Matter talking points without any regard for objectivity or first hand observation?[/quote]

I'm not here to debate root causes with people who don't know the first thing about DC, urban poverty or crime.  No one, with the exception of Fox viewers, gives a rat's ass about BLM or their supposed talking points.  I'm a progressive and have no guilt because I worked hard and earn a wealthy paycheck, so stop projecting your bizarre preconceptions and assumptions.  [/quote]

I know a lot about DC. I just haven't heard a cogent explanation from our Mayor about how to curb atrocities like the 23 year-old man who was gunned down in Shaw in the middle of the day by a 19 year-old thug who then threatened an Uber driver at gunpoint when he tried to flee the scene. "Safety walks" and "police your neighborhood"= pathetic empty rhetoric. I have friends who were close to Matt Shlonsky and I can't tell you how devastating his loss has been. The guy was minding his own business on a busy street near a Metro stop and he had his life cut down by losers who had beef over a damn dice game.

And what's the excuse for all the "kids" on ATVs and dirtbikes who are bound to kill a pedestrian or cause a crash? I didn't grow up with a lot of money and knew better than to act like that.

And who says I'm white? [/quote]
