To #3: You are assuming that the “yuts” on DC’s streets, esp. in SE, can read.
First mistake: They can’t read. Can’t speak proper English. Can’t do math. Can’t write a legible and logical sentence.
These are the legacy of DC’s pisspoor black leadership aided and abetted by guilt-ridden white politicians.
The mayors have been, in part, thoroughly corrupt, esp. Marion Barry, crack smoking corruption King former mayor and lifelong city councilmen.
The city runs through Police chiefs like a person with diarrhea runs through toilet paper.
Schools - too many are disrupted, disfunctional and dismally led. A white teacher I knew very well quite after two years a saying that “most of these kids cannot be taught” and “those who want to learn, can’t because of the others”.
Law Enforcement’s main focus is traffic/parking tickets. Always has been, always will be until a conservative comes in and really cleans out the Democrat/black ethnocentric political machines and City Council.
I think #1’s “Pretty please” sums up the situation.
Better learn how to duck in SE DC. It’s your only option short of staying the heck out of the hellhole.
