This is an embarrassment and will have huge repercussions for DC moving forward. Some posters on here or Facebook are minimizing what happened, perhaps due to political agendas (those kids are the victims of 400 years of oppression) or real estate values but as an outsider looking in, whether I am a teacher organizing a field trip, a convention planner or a tourist from the Midwest or Europe, I would seriously think twice about visiting DC until the local leadership gets its sh*t together and gets the crime under control. A gang attack in one of the best neighborhoods in DC outside of one of its best hotels, near the diplomatic center of the city, sends the message that DC is not safe for visitors.[/quote]

So are you boycotting Chicago, too? I mean, the murder rate has been sky high for years and is getting worse.  A few years ago there was a string of attacks where random people on the street were getting punched in the face by teenagers.  That was happening all over, including the Gold Coast, right off Michigan Ave.  Wouldn't Chicago's crime send the same message, that it's not safe for visitors?

Funny, but tourists still seem to be flocking there.  So what's your issue with DC really about?[/quote]
