[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm one of the ones who bailed on DC a couple months ago with crime escalating and other quality of life issues going down the tubes. The story of the mother and child being shot in front of their home by a stranger should shake some people up- it's horrifying. They were shot in front of their husband/dad and other sibling, all over a scooter being parked on the block by an obviously really bad guy. It's time to leave DC. Take your tax dollars and join me away from the city. The council, the mayor, no one else will listen or do anything about the problems. Even if they catch the guy who shot this family, good luck seeing actual justice done. It'll be like the Uber Eats driver who was killed, and the perps got, what, a 2-4 years? Vote with your feet!![/quote]

I could not be any more horrified at people like you using events like this to push an agenda. I could google and list a ton of disturbing crimes that have happened in Bethesda, Potomac, Falls Church or whatever suburb you fled to. Crime is not unique to a city. You are gross and I am actually glad you left our city.

NP.  You do you.  But I’m horrified that DC has gotten significantly less safe in the past 12 months.  A mother and young son were shot in broad daylight in their front yard.  An Uber driver died in an armed car jacking.  Members of the city council were car jacked in the middle of the day. Enough is enough.  You think this happens in the burbs?[/quote]

+1.  An armed robbery happened in broad daylight (11:00 a.m.) last Friday morning in Cleveland Park.  Does everyone know about that?![/quote]

Yikes. I didn’t know about this. Did it make the news?[/quote]

Oh, of course not. It barely made the CP list serv.[/quote]
