MYOB like the rest of DC.

A painful sense of obligation that people.need to get over. Everyone has a cell phone - instead of taking a video, call for help when someone is clearly losing it on the street.

Unless you see actual violence taking place, the police aren’t likely to respond to a call just because someone appears to be “losing it.”

I have called 311 when I have heard someone calling out expletive laden threats on the street. For example, a man a few years back outside the Tenley Starbuck shouting generally "you're all going to die", then at individuals "YOU are going to die". When he reached out and tried to grab a dismissed school kid (likely Deal) by the backpack who was trying to cross the street (he missed, sort of delusionally pawing), I called 311. The police respond quickly to these reports, assess, and if needed basically they call the mental crisis team to do a check. I now have the mental health team number above in my phone, as should you, so as to call that directly when needed. I don't consider the above types of behavior safely predictable for the person doing it or for the passersby, and it is better if someone informed and prepared does a wellness check.

Asians need to start hitting back. That even includes CCW. Man I'd love it if these punks got what's coming to them. They'll eventually try it on the wrong Asian person.

But what if your attacker isn’t a white Trump supporter? What if they’re a POC?


What then?

I would still clown stomp them.

RACIST!!!!!!!
