[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Compare crime reports for the H Street corridor and Georgetown and then get back to us.  There just aren't that many "dice games" on Prospect Street.  If you haven't seem anything you consider suspicious on H Street then you are painfully unaware or just don't frequent the area that much.  [/quote]

OK, I'll bite. Show me the stats.

Yes, there are a few old drunk men that congregate outside of the liquor store, but I've never seen them shooting dice. And they always speak and are nice.  They used to live in the neighborhood and came back to see each other.

And why in the world would folks choose H Street to play dice? Really? Police are all over the place on H St. I feel safest on H Street because there are always so many bike cops and security guards. It's the side streets (G St., etc.) that I'm wary of because it's the side streets that perpetrators go to looking for victims. [/quote]

I have observed shooting dice and brazen drug transactions on multiple occasions near the intersection of 8th and H, not to mention all sorts of other unsavory behavior.  The area continues to be a magnet for trouble, regardless of police presence.  It was only two years ago that the owner of a deli at 7th and H was robbed and then shot.  Justifying public intoxication as just a few old drunks coming back to see one another is just mind boggling.  Where do you think these upstanding old gentlemen go to relieve themselves?  It appears the cultural divide strikes again.  [/quote]
