[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Since there was no further looting in Friendship Heights or Tenleytown after that night, and since no people were injured in any confrontations between police and vandals, it sort of seems like this decision that everyone has spent five pages criticizing may have been the right one?

The risk of a police intervention in a situation like this is that something bad -- people breaking into shops after hours when there's no one else in the store and stealing stuff -- becomes something worse -- a full-on street fight between cops and looters. The District should certainly be willing to help compensate businesses that lost money as a result of the break-ins or pay them back for the plywood many put up, but as a resident of the neighborhood, I'm glad the police didn't run the risk of increased violence in the name of protecting property.[/quote]

Great MO. Anything to protest, now you know you can show up five finger anything you want and not get stopped nor arrested. New American value. [/quote]
