That's disappointing. We used to live on the Hill but then moved to MoCo for the schools. Now that the kids are done with school we've considered moving back to the Hill but maybe we've somehow missed the window when it was nice. It was not the safest when we lived there in the 80s (our apartment and car were broken into) but the drug issues in those days weren't as visible. I don't recall seeing anyone ODing.

Honestly, drug abuse has skyrocketed in the past 10-15 years so it doesn't shock that you are seeing people OD'ing on the street. Other cities like Baltimore are being hit a lot worse.

DC's non-emregency line is also 911, isn't it?

311

Really?! It seems like middle america, appalachia, NE are filled with white people ODing. I could be wrong but I thought the whole reason for opioid intervention was because white rural and suburban communities are being devestated by opioids.

I’m glad you called about the overdoses. There is some bad heroin flooding the area and I too have noticed an uptick in passed out /very very sick seemingly drug related users on the streets lately, so very devastating.

Not OP but actually you sound stressed and frustrated.

Get your ears checked your hearing is off I’m smiling stepping over dandelions not a drunk, druggie, or OD’d loser in sight. No sounds of stress or frustration from me just laughs at the OP with 911 on speed dial.

don't smoke weed, be drunk, or deal drugs on the library steps, or pass out on the sidewalk, and I won't call 911.

You can dial to your heart’s content because I won’t be anywhere near you or your ilk.

Right, you'll be sitting behind your screen doing jack sh*t. If you actually cared about my neighborhood (I do!) you would be concerned about the library being unsafe, instead of the haven for kids and people of all colors; and you'd be concerned about rapidly escalating drug use; and you wouldn't walk past your fellow humans suffering medical emergencies like they are trash.

If not doing jack shit means not being stressed the hell yes! I’ll be away from your suspicious side glances happily not harassed, peacefully not profiled, and blissfully not bothered by your xenophobia.

and you'll step over the dead/OD'ing bodies on the ground? Come on man. Get off the internet.

That’s YOUR problem. You the one out there patrolling the streets McGruff the Crime Dog I told you I stay away from you and your ilk so I don’t see the crap you see. I’m stepping over dandelions at best.

You sound utterly clueless.

I must have missed something.

How do you know what color the people OP was referring to are? I didn't see mention of race anywhere in this thread.

I'm an immigrant, so race can be confusing - how can you tell from OP's post that the person who passed out was not White?

Spare me the stupid hypotheticals you, me, & everybody knows damn well what the people the OP called the cops on looked like don’t play dumb.

frankly, 2 out of the 3 looked dead, so.
