[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hopefully they start looting grocery stores in takoma park, Chevy chase, palisades, etc areas next and those residents are affected.  [/quote]

They already are.  [/quote]

We live in Alexandria and there are public housing units a few blocks away.  I pass them as I go to the Giant, but I rarely see anyone outside and ARHA runs a tight ship so they usually look reasonably maintained.  A few months ago the second entrance to the Giant was closed.  I groused about it to the cashier who was African American. She told me it was a "fire safety issue."  A few weeks later, an Ethiopian cashier told me there was a security guard and asked if I wanted him to walk me to my car.  It was about 8:30 pm and I had never noticed a guard or been asked that question.  I said no but when I walked by the guard, he asked if I wanted him to watch me as I walked to my car.  He said people living in the public housing  had rushed shoppers in the parking lot and taken their groceries.  It was a little chilling and I have switched to the Safeway at Bradlee.  It also now has security guards near the parking lot, but it feels safer because it is on the second floor and it is harder to grab things and take an elevator, stairs or escalator.  [/quote]
