We’ve found the obnoxious too online Silver Spring head in sand progressive. Do you think this crime is NBD? You may want to talk your fellow liberal Silver Spring and Takoma Park friends. I think you will find out that their progressive values end the moment these things begin to affect them personally. It’s one thing if it’s 20-something males shooting each other at 2 AM on Georgia Ave. It’s quite another when its middle aged women having a guns shoved in their face at 7 PM trying to shop at Safeway.

You may not be aware, but the neighborhood is starting to get a reputation for crime and you may not be able to understand this, but it is not a good thing.

Which neighborhood is "Silver Spring"? Woodside Park? Leisure World? White Oak? Aspen Hill? Please explain.[/quote]

I think this is referring to the 7pm armed Thayer/Fenton Safeway carjacking last week, so the neighborhood would be DTSS and the areas bordering it, particularly around Fenton toward TKPK and (to a lesser degree) the side streets toward Dale.

Honestly I am not quick to call "crime!" and make rash assumptions based on 1 incident. But there have been a bunch of incidents, increasingly earlier, and with a young teen who likes to spend time in DTSS and takes these routes often walking with friends at a variety of hours my spouse and I have decided there is NO walking at night and now we are not sure that's good enough. I think I will lay off that Safeway for a while too, though I do love it. Was it in the garage or the upper surface lot? That must have been terrible for the people who work there: a lot of those workers are lovely and have been there a long time. [/quote]

From reports on Nextdoor from people who saw the victim after the incident, it was the upper surface lot. [/quote]

That is really shocking, from someone who goes to this store multiple times a week from 10am - 10pm. [/quote]
