theres idealism and theres pragmatism. both need to be understood and practiced.

I think you people out there should be a little more tolerant and celebrate diversity and inclusion.

This is a new twist in DC crime for me. Get mugged, file a police report, then get chased by the same dbags!? Jeesh. Hope the OP is Ok.

I’d suggest for everyone to ask the cops to drive you home after you have an incident that requires filing a report, ID’ing suspects etc. Especially if you have to go right through the same area. It’s not unreasonable and I bet most officers will be accomodating. You’ll prob have to wait around a bit until someone’s free or heading out on patrol but it’s a hell of a lot safer. (Just to be clear, I am in no way giving the OP grief, just suggesting this be added to ‘standard practices when victimized’ list).

You are right ,” me ”
They already called you a racist in so many words.But none will admit the obvious,which is,roving bands of black youth robbing and inflicting pain on innocent people( of all races and collors) minding their own business.
Aparently on this blog,you can call anyone a racist and get away with it,but call someone a liberal and your comment will never get published.
Just pointing out the obvious

Wow, what crawled up your butt? I don’t think the two are analagous at all…sometimes you need to use the beltway or drive or whatever. There’s never a need to walk back to cap hill from a nationals game. It’s just that when the weather isn’t unbearable it can be pleasant to go for a walk and avoid cab fare, as there aren’t too many great ways to get from the stadium to the hill once the circulator stops running. I guess its not super scary, its just that hearing this information will possibly adjust my risk/reward calculus in such a way to counsel against walking, or at least walking down M for a as long as practical. Don’t worry, I have a grip, thanks for looking out though.

Good question. The U.S. Attorney’s office? A blog with this info (follow-ups to crimes that rile the blog scene) would probably get great traffic as well as hold the police and prosecutors accountable.

Exactly. This is DC not Kabul – I refuse to accept that this is okay/normal.

Mayor Gray – stand-up and take this on. Lanier can’t do it on her own – she needs a mayor (and prosecutor) on her side.

Lame response…. not saying the area caused the crime; not the neighborhood’s fault… saying that be aware of your surroundings and in known high crime areas of the city… it might be a good idea to go another way, especially if you are wasted after a game. That includes stumbling around adams morgan and other areas of the city. Be a grown up.
