[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]NW DC residents:

We must call on Mary Cheh and anyone else who will listen to get a handle on this. This is just the latest incident of gun violence in NW; most rarely make even this small level of coverage. (Just last month, a woman exiting her car in Cleveland Park was robbed at gun point at 11:00 a.m. on a random Friday morning.)

We need MORE police and MORE funding and MORE prosecution of crime, not less.

I know this area is full of air-headed liberals who like to post signs in their yards and pretend that this kind of thing could never happen to them, because, you know, all people are basically good and simply misunderstood, but guess what. We all need to wake up. The city is out of control on crime and the leafy confines of Wesley Heights, Georgetown, AU Park, Cleveland Park, Spring Valley and beyond are next in line.

Please write to our esteemed Councilwoman and express your views. If you don't care about anything else, think about the property value of your $3 million home if gun violence becomes a regular thing in your neighborhood.

Oh my eyeroll.  Please move out of DC if you want to live in a neighborhood with zero crime.  So sick of transplants coming to the city, deriving long-term residents out of their neighborhoods, and then complaining about crime in the city.  [/quote]

I'm not a "transplant" to the city. I've lived here many years and am a homeowner in an upscale neighborhood. I did not drive a long-term resident of their neighborhood; believe me, we paid a pretty penny to live here and they were only to happy to sell.

When there are shootings in the streets of Cleveland Park, you'd damn well better believe I'm going to "complain" about crime in the city. In fact, I'm going to do a lot more than just "complain" on DCUM. This is a major issue and the good people who live in these neighborhoods and fund the entire city government had better wake up and smell the coffee. [/quote]

I mean if you weren't born in DC you are a transplant.  And no, your neighborhood does not pay for the entire city budget with your taxes.  What a ridiculous and self absorbed assertion.

And the eyeball part was your diatribe about one shooting meaning that you should write your councilperson lest your neighborhood becomes a crime-infested hellhole.  What do you want the city to do to avoid something like this?  Have cops at every corner?  Make anyone not from your fancy neighborhood have to go through a metal detector to enter your street?  Again, you live in a city, not a gated community.[/quote]

I think I was clear in my first post. I want greater prosecution of crime, not less. I want more funding and more staffing and more training of police, not less. [/quote]
