[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I mean, Ive been raising my kids in Shaw and have lived here since 2005 (from 2002-05 was in Logan). Something needs to be done about crime and the general lawlessness and unsafe behavior. The three wheelers riding on two wheels down U street at rush hour or on my street long past midnight. Homeless people camping on the border of school playgrounds, some armed. People OD’ing all over the place. I know it was way worse in the 90s, but that’s besides the point! We want the vote and we want progress. Schools needed to be open by Term 2. Down with Bowser and the whole lot! Id move but my husband won’t leave DC.[/quote]
It surprises me that people try to defend this. I think we have been in lock down for so long that people have forgotten that the last few summers had an epidemic of ATVs and Endurobikes doing wheelies while their drivers were texting on their phones while police refused to do anything.

Summer 2021 is going to be very, very bad. I want to catch up with all of these people excusing criminal behavior in July and August. They will probably be the first people to complain and demand police protection once their lifestyle is affected.[/quote]
It is so bizarre to me that these people first try to deny that there is a lot of crime. Then even when they do accept some basic truth, their second reaction is to say that it not that bad. After that, the third argument is that crime victims are just foolish.

In a couple of years y'all will be rationalizing poop on the sidewalks like they do in SF. Just gotta build more public toilets they say. Just a few more toilets here and there to stop the pooping.

What if there are just anti-social people out there who commit crimes and what if its okay for some people to want to choose to live in close proximity to these anti-social people while others prefer not to. In the mean time, it would also be great to stop these anti-social people from committing crimes and to punish them when they do.[/quote]
