[quote=Anonymous]Yep, a lot of areas in Ward 3 are worse than they’ve ever been. For instance, apartments on Connecticut Avenue. I know people who have lived there for decades that are set to move because the city moved a bunch of violent criminals into their buildings at the same time the city decided it wasn't going to enforce any laws against the criminals. So it’s open season against the law abiding residents there.

Tenleytown definitely seems sketchier than I’ve ever seen it before. I used to be there a lot at midnight, and it was empty. I was there at midnight the other night and I saw a number of disheveled individuals pulling on doors trying to get the closed establishments. I’ve even seen tents at Ft. Reno, which I never saw in the past.

A student tried to shoplift at the CVS some decades back, he was detained by the manager, numerous police cars came, they photographed him, banned him from the store, and told Wilson (now Jackson-Reed). A few weeks back I saw a kid just openly shoplift right in front of a police officer at the Whole Foods. To his credit, the police officer stopped him, but the kid didn’t seem to care at all, and was just acting annoyed and ignoring the officer.

These people know that nothing will happen to them. Did anyone read the recent DC Crime Facts article? A woman took a gun and tried to murder another woman with it. She was sentenced to probation - zero prison time for attempted murder.[/quote]
