So much for Main Street USA.
I recognize that people's perceptions of their own personal safety vary, so I guess I'll just say I have not felt at all compelled to avoid Tenleytown and/or the Metro around when school is starting or letting out.

well now the police and even Fox say that there were not 300 kids but maybe 50 and less than 10 were involved in the "altercation"

This is the welcoming Ward 3 that Matt Frumin promised you. Promises made, promises kept!
It was 2 kids fighting and a couple hundred cheering them on. But way to exaggerate the situation!
I still find that pretty bothersome. Hundreds of kids cheering and watching two kids kick the sh** out of each other? Just another feather in the cap for DC!
It's high school. I'm not sure what you expect. Any time there is a fight, it's always "fight fight fight" and groupthink by the high school mob. Not a DC thing. A high school thing.
This. I remember this happening at Stuyvesant in the 90s. Not often. But it did.
This is not an isolated incident. Getting reported in the Post means for once it's not being excused/swept under the rug. Oh wait, the police tried that. But now it's gotten publicity.

Yeah, a criminal record would sure show these kids the right path in life...
What in the hell is wrong with you people.
I’m sorry- what exactly do you think is the appropriate thing to for people who are actively engaged in assault and battery?
How would YOU get them on the right path? What’s your answer?
Detention? In school suspension maybe?
Definitely not arresting them and putting them in jail.
After school clean up detail. Scrub walls, mop floors, scrape gum off desks, pull weeds, etc
Pick up trash under bleachers, clean up fort reno park of all trash...

That doesn't happen in well run high schools.

Sure. I've sat on Guapos terrace for a nice snack to hear the F bombs flying as the kids walk by, the pot, it's kind of dirty, and then I know that the local businesses are being robbed on the daily. I don't feel unsafe. I just feel like, nah.

Didn't lead with warning. Led with arrested.
