[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There is no doubt that crime has decreased. I mean, it's in the numbers, and also in a gut-check way, i feel much safer walking around Shaw and safer sending my tween-aged kids to walk by themselves.

Saying this out loud, however, results in a hysterical reaction from our white neighbors.

Brown and black citizens (we are in this category) don't have a problem admitting that it is safer. Brown non-citizens are terrified.

Are the NG patrolling in Shaw?

I haven’t seen them in Brookland. Theft from our CVS is still outrageous, and a young woman was mugged and beaten by a group of people near the metro last month.

I see the NG pretty regularly at Gallery Place station and in the Navy Yard area, neither of which felt unsafe before or more safe now. So I’m curious how the NG is making a difference in Shaw. [/quote]

Are you seriously saying a place like Navy Yard - that has a juvenile curfew in place and where there have been multiple carjackings resulting in murders - felt safe? Safe compared to where? Were you walking around there at 10 am on a Sunday morning?

[quote]WASHINGTON - Washington, D.C. is enacting a juvenile curfew starting Saturday night, after "weeks of disorderly juvenile behavior," Mayor Muriel Bowser announced.

The curfew comes just one day after massive fights broke out in Navy Yard on Halloween night.[/quote]
