OK. I've had about as much as I can stand living in DC
And only reinforces my fears for my S.O. I worry every day he walks out the door.
I was threatened with death, not twenty minutes ago, by a bunch of kids twelve and younger. They were serious, as a heart attack. Really attractive kids, too.
Sick of this shit, and I don't want to leave my bestest friend behind to deal with it.
Gun control works!!!! Liberal policies work!!!! BTW... was they obumbles children?

3. OMG. No way in hell you should put up with that. I've put with stuff like that. I had to move.

Can you guys move further out of town or something?
Oh, I don't know if that's the answer, either.
So sorry. Take care of yourself and talk to your S.O. as soon as you can to decide how to deal with these threats.
Oh, did you call the police yet?
911, what's your emergency?

6. It's DC. It may be a while.
But, yes I did. Got busy signals the first three times I dialed 911 though.
Provides me a lot of sympathy for all those women who are getting the crap beat out of them. How much time to they have before the insane husband/boyfriend/stalker bashes the door in? One chance to call? Two?
Hey NSA, wanna be actually useful? **** you useless mother****ers.
Oops! Seems when you need the cops, they ain't around!!!!

5. 4Th and M SW, half a block from Waterfront Metro.
One of the guards at Safeway was too terrified to call 911. I barreled through the store demanding that someone call the popo. Someone finally did.
The little ****ers threatened me before they went in to rob Safeway.
So sick of this shit.
Little kids folks, only the two girls were of any age at all, and they weren't more than 14. Psychopaths with dead eyes, all the older ones, boys and girls.
Gun control works!!!!!

7. Damn.
Lived @ 6th + I, SW, 2 blocks from Safeway, when first assaulted, in alley walking to apartment. 'Punk,' w no firearm as I recall. 'Negotiated' with him, gave him cash and/or wallet. About 30 years ago, so don't recall details.
Liked the neighborhood; walked to/from office and l'enfant Metro, and view of river from apt. balcony. NO Waterfront Metro at the time, but motel, restaurants, and fishmongers.
AWFUL about kids; worse/awful about what's happened to education in DC, or what HASN'T happened. Moved 'uptown' to NW (16th St. Heights,) and had kids whom we sent to private + parochial schools.
Gun control works!!!! Me? The punk would have been negotiating for his life.

14. Jeez, so you know some of it.....
Even I didn't know this bit - sociopaths training other kids to be sociopaths. There are some adults involved, too. Saw them across the street afterwords, three Fagins..
Lucky for all of us (if the popo do half their job) every single one of those psychopathic ****ers walked into Safeway at about two minutes after my cigarette purchase at CVS.
Unluky for me, they know where I live. While I own a shotgun, I'm not allowed to keep it in DC. That's never sucked more than now.

19. Gotta say I'm glad you can't keep it in DC.
Would be SO awful to hear of you having been in a shoot-out with such.
Awful I can't think of my old/first DC neighborhood as pleasant as it was anymore, just pass it to/from National.
Future victim.

8. It's gotten worse in the past year or so
I ended up leaving Barney Circle because I was sick of the kids running around throwing rocks at people.
Those kids aren't bad, dummie, they just didn't get their hot school lunch that day, dummie.
Small campfire... that was most of the replies. I'll say this... nothing better than a dummie seeing first hand and up close the results of the policies they advocate.
