[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’ve lived in DC since ‘94. I haven’t felt this unsafe in a very long time. Daily notices of “I heard gunfire” in nextdoor for the last many months (don’t try and spin it as “firecrackers”).  I think the sense of lawlessness stems from a mayor who hasn’t done a thing about rampant theft from porch pirates for more than a year now and also from zero will to do anything about public, open use of drugs. The whole city smells like pot now that it’s “legal.”  These “small” crimes lead to real criminals feeling like there is no law enforcement presence and no accountability. Sucks. After 25 years, I’m moving.  [/quote]

“All part of living in a vibrant, diverse city”  :roll:

“If you can’t handle it, move to somewhere where you’ll be surrounded by other racists like you”  :roll:

These are the standard refrains that will be trotted out on this thread. I’ve seen them over and over. [/quote]

I see these on my Facebook group pages for Hill East and Navy Yard. Any rebuttal is met with knee jerk claims of racism or being unsympathetic to the plight of the downtrodden. Hi, I have little kids. I don’t want them to get hurt. I don’t want to self flagellate for past wrongs and some sort of cause. It’s not cool ro virtue signal that you’re such a hip city dweller that crime doesn’t phase you and it’s just a part of normal life. It’s nuts.9

Many of those people on those Facebook groups will move out of DC to avoid the schools when their kids get older or send to private.  They are virtue signaling hypocrites who don’t really do anything to improve the lives of those who’s communities have the highest crime rates.[/quote]

Completely. The snarky comments people make when a poster says their dogs are scared of the 2 weeks worth of fireworks every night are so stupid. Shut the fk up you idiots. You’re not cool for being “down” with the sounds of neighborhood foreworks. People are trying to sleep you fks.[/quote]
