Nora Fanfalone, 28, a management consultant, said she now uses the service entrance to her downtown apartment building to avoid being shoved by an aggressive man again, or witnessing a gunfight on her doorstep, as happened recently.
'I'm like, 'How did I get this wrong? I live across from the Smithsonian and there's an Hermès store two blocks away,' she told the paper.
'It's very surprising that public safety is an issue in a neighborhood with such high traffic and major attractions.'
Ronald Moten, 53, who lives in Ward 7's Hillcrest neighborhood, said he now avoids going to the gas station at night for fear of being robbed.
He was arrested in the 1990s for selling crack, but now works with young people to keep them off the streets.
as woke city sees homicides spike by 29% in a YEAR There have been 190 murders in Washington DC this year, putting the city on track this year to overtake 2021 - with 227 - as the bloodiest in two decades
Homicides and robberies are up 29 and 67 per cent from the same time period last year, with murders approaching levels not seen in two decades

Yet in Washington DC, one 58-year-old lobbyist told The Washington Post that he stopped walking in his neighborhood after he and his husband were attacked near Dupont Circle, and then had a bottle thrown at them outside Whole Foods. He and his husband left the city last month after 30 years, relocating to Maryland.
'I've always thought I could outrun any criminal in the past,' he said. 'I can't anymore. I'm a sitting duck.'

Brandon’s third worldization of the USA at work here.
The biggest Scam is all the Federal “workers” sitting on their asses at home in the burbs. Pretending to work remotely. So their money is not being spent in DC......... So more crime in Washingtoon DC. The world’s joke.
Texas needs to bus tens more thousands of illegal aliens to DC, Fly them there too. To make the deal more enticing.
America’s capitol, shameful, our leaders have failed us all
As the nation's government and public schools try to remove God from our people's lives... they open the door to Satan and we now see so many of his animals running loose in the world. And they're trying to take over our kids lives at young age and then eventually our nation!
FOLLOWERS OF SATAN!!
Where Demonrats govern.........You will find a SHITTHOLE!!!!!!
voting dem always results in the same
Interesting —
Washington DC with 700K people had 225 murders in 2021 i.e. 0.32 per 1000 people
Poland with 37,700K people had 625 murders in 2021 i.e. 0.016 per 1000 people
So DC is 20 times more violent than Poland
You know things have got to be bad when they're comparing you to Baltimore.
Yeah, that's what I think of them.
Profile.

‘I’m like, ‘How did I get this wrong? I live across from the Smithsonian and there’s an Hermès store two blocks away,’ she told the paper.
If you vote stupid you get stupid.
DC is 90% Democrats…end of story. Let me guess, they’ll continue to vote democrat because “Trump” and “killing babies”.
Insane
Who did they vote for?
What did they think was going to happen by supporting Defund the Police and BLM?
(In Civil War 2.0, the Democrats are inflicting their own casualties. If Lincoln had Democrats like we have today, he wouldn't have needed to hire Sherman destroy their cities. They are doing it to themselves.)
It’s the deliberate destruction of the country, being carried out in broad daylight, right out in the open.
And there you have it. Crime in “urban neighborhoods “ is contributing to climate change. WHAT will Dems do.
I must be doing something right … because I read a story like this and I honestly DGAF.
You reap what you sow.
