[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]NW has always had issues.  Stabbings at Ft. Reno, full on brawls between groups of kids at 42nd St park, drug dealing at Lafayette that once drove the city to install stadium lights and high fences around the hilltop area to stop the dealing from occurring.  (They eventually got removed when the residents on Quesada St complained the lights were so bright they could not sleep at night) Cafeteria manager shot during school hours at SJC, multiple people shot during home invasions around Chevy Chase DC, BCC student shot pool hopping in Forest Hills (that made national news since the shooter was a gun control activist).  The McDonalds where the shooting happened used to be a Roy Rodgers and the worst you would run into there were drunk high school kids who were partying behind it in Glover Park. [/quote]

That's right. And its failure to prosecute and clean up the small stuff that led to this escalation in the severity of crimes in NW. Those of you who maintain that Tenlytown has "always" had problems are missing the point. We may have had fighting kids and dope dealing in this neighborhood, but shootings were never a thing here, except in the last year or so. THAT is what is so concerning, along with the fact that our elected leaders really don't care.[/quote]

Not a bad point. Address it all, even if the guard needs to step in. Start with the roving bike and ATV gangs and every other form of illegal behavior, the message being we are all in it together and same rules for all. Not taxpayers get terrorized[/quote]
