Why do people sit safely WOTP or the suburbs not GAF what those of us in the city have to deal with every day.

Why do people who live in the USA GAF about people who live elsewhere in the world?

Why do people put money in their wallet and then complain about pickpockets?

just because there are piece of crap people who carjack doesn't mean that i should not be able to own a car if i want to, and last i checked, carjacking is a crime. i generally do feel sorry for people who are victims of crime.


+1 what the fk is this threads point? I feel dumber for having read it.

If people leave card unlocked overnight then something gets stolen out of it I do kind of victim blame for that one. But carjackings!! That’s s whole nother level of violence than no one deserves. You are crazy OP.

If the logic is that you don't "need" something so you shouldn't complaint when something bad happens regarding that thing...

You don't need a bike, so you shouldn't complain if it gets stolen
You don't need a SFH, so you shouldn't complain if it gets burglarized
You don't need to fly, so you shouldn't complain when Southwest has a total meltdown
You don't need to eat in restaurants, so you shouldn't complain when they don't honor your reservation, serve you something your allergic to, etc.
You don't need to live in or visit a city, so you shouldn't complain if you get mugged
You don't need to drive on the highway, so you shouldn't complain if somebody hits you.
You don't need to send your kid to private school, so you shouldn't complain about anything that happens regarding that school.
You don't need to order anything at all delivered, so you shouldn't complain when it doesn't arrive.
You don't need to interact with any member of your family, so you shouldn't complain about them.

The list is endless. As long as you are breathing and not starving, stop complaining!

Don’t lock bikes outside.

It’s important that we establish this understanding that the public street are fair game for lawlessness. Carjacked, bike stolen, assaulted, raped, murdered? Tough sh*t. This is DC.

Apparently the carjackers disagree with you, OP.

OP let us know where you live so someone can break in and steal everything they think you don’t “need”.

Why do so many DC residents have jobs and complain about being robbed?

“I’m bored so I think I’ll start an especially stupid thread tonight and see what happens.”

Bingo. I think these people don’t realize how ridiculous they sound to everyone who is outside of their social circle. It is good evidence for why people should not let their hobbies or causes, whatever they may be, define their personality.
