Yeah, we get “income inequality” is to blame, but at the same time, we throw millions at it, and leniency, or studies, or is not an immediate solution to the massive spike. We need to vote for strict on crime politicians and people who have the will to let police arrest and courts prosecute. If not, the crime will keep rising.


What millions do we throw at “it”?

Oh well. You should probably move somewhere else.

Yeah, creating a food desert for the vast majority of residents who are just trying to live there because of several individuals who are running product scam operations would just be hilarious... Are you insane?

Just open food panties and give poor people the basics. No Cheetos. No Pepsi. Just fruit and veggies and pasta.

Equity. If they did this, then it will disproportionately affect people of certain races.

You know, if income inequality wasn’t at the horrific state it is today, these things wouldn’t be such an issue.

Yes it does. And the good people of the neighborhood should be hopping mad that thieves among them are causing this to happen.

Only the people living there can fix this.



What do those people do? Seriously? What do you propose? If you're Mrs. Smith who has lived there for 40 years and you don't steal, what is your responsibility? Are you required to set up a brute squad?


Identify the thieves to Giant security and DC police for starters.
Shame the thieves in their own community.
Shutdown resales of stolen items in next door nail salon.

They don't even arrest gate hoppers at metro stations , car jackets, make an effirt to track stolen vehicles, and other "petty" crimes. You think they're going to waste time arresting some teen stealing Tide pods?

Regardless of the crime increase, Everyone living in their $950k 16ft wide row houses in dc are idealistic and altruistic to a fault. They’ll keep voting for idiots like Charles Allen because he has (selective) “evidence based” policies that show, effectively, leniency for shoplifting and violent crime is like, holistically (or whatever), “better” for the community than actually prosecuting criminals. This cycle won’t end until we get a broader base of moderate voters, which will never happen. Congress should step in and implement a crime control board.

One thing they can do is vote for different politicians. One can only hope....

How did Mrs Smith get Giant to invest in her community to begin with?

It’s the same process.

Oh no, *those* residents matter. They can get the attention of their local police to set up and do something. Actually, this already happened, when the CVS's in Chevy Chase and Palisades were being hit and the residents flipped out until the cops posted cars at each one. Wonder why that doesn't happen in SE?


Don't know. Steal Tide in Fairfax County and it's a big deal. Prompt chase, catch, arrest compared to DC and LA mega mob https://www.nbcwashington.com/news/local/dc-couple-identified-in-armed-robbery-that-led-police-through-oncoming-traffic-on-beltway/3313659/

https://www.nbcwashington.com/news/local/giant-to-remove-brand-name-items-from-southeast-dc-store-shelves/3415999/

So anyne use the Giant Tide knock off? Family likes it. The WTOP article says some beauty products are just walked to the nearby nail salon for sales. Mob ransacks an LA Nordstrom https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-12401675/Nordstrom-Westfield-Topanga-Mall-ransacked-feral-swarm-FIFTY-looters-targeted-Bottega-Veneta-concession.html a few arrests from a multi store rampage https://ktla.com/news/local-news/4-arrested-in-connection-with-flash-mob-robberies-in-southern-california/
