[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What is the rationale behind a person in their teens and early 20s walking around with thousands of dollars of branded clothing? Especially after at least one university (GWU) told them they were at risk and to stop wearing them. It can’t be status; it’s not their money.[/quote]

This is demented. I can use the same logic to rob you of anything.

It is none of your business what I wear. I have the right to be safe to wear the most expensive or cheapest cloth. [/quote]
Advertising one’s privilege is pretty tacky.  Why make yourself a target by antagonizing those not as lucky as you?[/quote]

Come on, people have cell phones. People have nice belts and coats and shoes. It’s not like it’s a $100k diamond ring or something - regular working people can save up for a Canada Goose jacket if that’s what they really want. People are getting carjacked if they drive a regular car like a Hyundai or a Honda, or a luxury car. Our city shouldn’t be this dangerous. [/quote]
However given the vast inequality in wealth distribution it’s simply not appropriate to show off one’s material privilege.  [/quote]

If anything, only reason people should think twice about what they wear is because DC has opted to behave as third world city.[/quote]
Third World?
Your ignorance is evident in the use of this phrase.[/quote]

Sorry the comparison offends third world cities? [/quote]
