[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thanks OP for informing the people on this board. Some of us don’t just bury our heads in the sand or pretend roses grow out of concrete sidewalks. It’s important that MPD do their job. Thankfully no one was hurt—-immigrant or innocent bystanders. We don’t know if these gang members had weapons on them. MPD should have had each one of them searched. [b]There was just a drive by shooting of gang members which saw a ten year old girl lose her life and other innocent bystanders get shot.[/b] Again,I’m grateful that no was hurt, but Mt. Pleasant is a very criminal enriched activity hotbed, alongside Columbia Heights. [/quote]
...yes, 8 miles away in Lincoln Heights. Do you even live in DC?

I live in Mount Pleasant, am out in the neighborhood on a regular basis, and don't see glaring signs of gang activity. It's unfortunate that, given our current discourse, some think that being brown = being illegal and/or a criminal. There are plenty of Latinos in Mount Pleasant (who were here LONG before I joined the community) and 99.9% of them mind their own business and appear to be law-abiding individuals (although I sense you'd pick a fight with me over whether they are "law-abiding" if they aren't US citizens).

If anything, seeing a fight or criminal activity at 16th and Irving is usually related to a scuffle between teenagers who go to Lincoln/Bell or something that spilled over from Columbia Heights.

Take your pearl clutching elsewhere.[/quote]
