I could not be any more horrified at people like you using events like this to push an agenda. I could google and list a ton of disturbing crimes that have happened in Bethesda, Potomac, Falls Church or whatever suburb you fled to. Crime is not unique to a city. You are gross and I am actually glad you left our city.



NP. You do you. But I’m horrified that DC has gotten significantly less safe in the past 12 months. A mother and young son were shot in broad daylight in their front yard. An Uber driver died in an armed car jacking. Members of the city council were car jacked in the middle of the day. Enough is enough. You think this happens in the burbs?


DP, and actually, I know it does. https://www.vox.com/22344713/murder-violent-crime-spike-surge-2020-covid-19-coronavirus
First, there’s the preliminary FBI data, which is missing data from some local and state governments but is still the most comprehensive data set we have. What it shows is very concerning: Not only were murder rates up overall, but they were up practically everywhere the data tracks so far — big or small cities, metropolitan or nonmetropolitan counties, and Northeast or South or Midwest or West.

Even with mass shootings, the suburbs are categorically safer. Even if we had 10x the number of school shootings, all in the suburbs. They'd still be safer.


Not for the UMC/MC - the mass shootings are almost all targeting like-minded socioeconomic people in those neighborhoods. The shooters are targeting their own schools, their own churchs, their own grocery stores, their own workplaces.

In the city the victim of a shooting is most likely to be poor and/or in extremely violent circumstances already.

If caught this one will get the book thrown at him. I'm sure of it. The politics dictate that.

I agree so much. Look OP, good for you for moving. But let it go. You're gone, what do you care. Let the rest of us do the work you wouldn't do to press our government to do better.


Been there, done that. They don't care about victims of crimes.

NP. If you think as many children are killed by gun violence in Bethesda as in DC, I don’t know what to tell you. You really should educate yourself.

Don't worry. Mayor is on it:

“We’re devastated,” said D.C. Mayor Muriel E. Bowser (D), who attended the briefing. “We have to say to the community, ‘we’re going to stand against gun violence.’ ”
