Last weekend, my housemate and I were mugged at gunpoint while walking home from Dupont Circle. The entire incident lasted under a minute, as I was forced to the floor, handed over my phone and was patted down.
And yet, when a reporter asked whether I was surprised that this happened in Georgetown, I immediately answered: “Not at all.” It was so clear to me that we live in the most privileged neighborhood within a city that has historically been, and continues to be, harshly unequal. While we aren’t often confronted by this stark reality west of Rock Creek Park, the economic inequality is very real.

walking target
Ten bucks says he’s wearing a Barbie backpack.
Yep. Prey, and proud of it. It's somebody else's fault anyway.
I think we broke their website.
Obviously those DC gun control laws work so well ....
My guess is a My Little Pony backpack.
We made a big mistake in keeping quiet re the rise of liberalism. And the Repugnant party's attitude of being gentlemanly and sophisticated while the enemy attacks is unforgivable.
He was outside and dropped to “the floor” wouldnt that be “the ground?”
..and there is no “stark economic reality” west of Rock Creek Park — everybody there is doing fine, troublemakers come from else where..
Well, if he’s “offed”, he won’t have much thinking time left.
This is why I exort the “protesters” to riot and loot and burn in rich white liberal neighborhoods.
It’s the only way they’ll get the “change” they seek...
/tongue in cheek
white liberal demonstrating the worst type of racism
I guess you have to ask...
“are you being mugged against your will, or are you OK with it?”
maybe the mugger was too nice to him. If he’d been roughed up some, maybe he would feel differently.
SOPHIST'ICATE, v.t.
1. To adulterate; to corrupt by something spurious or foreign; to pervert; as, to sophisticate nature, philosophy or the understanding.
2. To adulterate; to render spurious; as merchandise; as, to sophisticate wares or liquors. They purchase but sophisticated ware.
SOPHIST'ICATE, a. Adulterated; not pure; not genuine. So truth, when only one supplied the state, grew scarce and dear, and hey sophisticate.

He doesn’t understand why.
The idiot should have been eliminated from the gene pool.
You were mugged because you’re a wimp, you’re unarmed, and you have not even a dribble of situational awareness.
I know there are places in my city where I should not go, and the only place I’m not armed is when I go on the Navy base. AND I pay attention to what’s going on around me all the time.
That bicycle on a roadway of the right contours, will roll nicely!
IIRC it’s a catenary curve.

Believing ‘poverty causes crime’ is insulting to every honest middle class and middleclass wannabees now and foreer.. I hate liberal elite bullshit... This is also insulting to every honest black person working for a living at an everyday job.
The guy’s a jerk - I’m glad he getting robbed... hope it happens more often to him... and his mother when she visits...
We could give liberals free “I’m Not Armed” buttons... Or, “I’m a stupid liberal AND I carry cash”...
Either button would work.
