Part of the reason crime has gone down in D.C. is that criminals have migrated to greener pastures in next door neighbor P.G. County. It's run by Democrats, of course.
It is appalling that Americans live like this, but until they rise up and demand their right to self-defense be respected, they will always be victims.
Someone tried to steal my car last night, bent my steering column to hell. I have to get a rental this afternoon.
wait until the "latino" craze of kidnapping ordinary citizen for $50 ransom starts in in loco L.A. ---- Amnesty! Coming to a neighborhood near you!
A big part of the reason why we moved.
As far as I ever knew when I lived in DC (15+ years ago), every single acre of Prince George's County inside the Beltway was a no-go zone. All of it. And for the most part, I kept my fat happy white ass out of it, except when I had to go there for something (which was rare). I had hoped it had gotten better.
I was visiting friends over the weekend down around Blacksburg, and one of them had come down from the DC area...she lives in PGC, Brentwood, I think. 35ish single white female professional, who (I think) lives alone up there. She's crazy, and she knows it, but she couldn't afford anywhere else.

I can relate to her fear. I was carjacked a year ago and it has had a profound impact on how I behave in public places now. The POS had the drop on me big time, no warning, no chance to do anything but comply with the demands and try to get a description (black).
A totally helpless feeling, standing there wondering if this is how one's life ends. How the survivors of one's family will cope with the loss.
BTW, a CCW wouldn't have helped me one bit unless he was in a position to see me carrying it.
Thugs begetting thugs.
Of course, God said go forth and multiply, so they're just doing God's will.
