[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]She is probably from a low crime country and this is a misunderstanding of "how things work" in scummy crime ridden DC. In England people used to leave a row of babies in prams outside the waitrose while they shopped, sunning themselves and getting their vitamin D. I'm sure it's cultural. I'm also loving how we (you) are basically all focused on the "rape victims clothing" right now. Someone stealing cars on M street is a bold move, and car theft is bound to result in mayhem and death at some point. I was almost massacred stepping into the street in Georgetown the other day when a car took the corner Grand Theft Auto style, probably driving away from a crime or stolen. This is squarely on the perps.
But sure--call for her head. Maybe they'll take the baby away and give it to the DC child welfare system so it can grow up to be a car jacker.[/quote]

My family is European and I'm born and raised DC (Georgetown even, not far from this spot - read I was raised with money and privilege).

It is obnoxious how many people move here and act like the rules don't apply to them. Some of these rules are things like parking; or having to file for a permit to do home repairs to common sense rules (don't leave your car running on M St with your baby inside); your condo is not a nightclub and people have jobs and families; don't speed through a school zone and yes the city has school zones.

The car jackers shouldn't have stolen the car; they aren't animals and made sure the baby was safe which is more than I can say for the mother.

You don't let your kid swim in a pool without someone watching them even if they can swim; even if they have floaties. This is common sense. You wear a seat belt even if you are a great driver.

Common sense not so common.

BTW BIL pissed that he got a parking ticket in DC years back. He thought he wouldn't because he was driving a rental. Yeah - its obnoxious.

God, you must be Swiss. I agree she had a total brain fart, but that is different from kidnapping. Blaming the victim is awful. Leave that family ALONE.[/quote]
