They “did not want any trouble,” they said on the video. To the black mob that confronted them, threatened them, beat them and robbed them, it was no trouble at all.
So they grabbed their iPhones, but not before the girls fought back to retrieve them. Unsuccessfully.
All the while one of the members of the crew was rolling video.
Members of this mob call themselves the 44th Street Crew in Southeast Washington. For those not familiar with the different sections of Washington, that is not the lobbyist/media/functionary dinner-party part of town.
Reporters at the Fox affiliate in Washington seemed surprised at the mob violence. But to people who ride the Metro, it was just another day.
Metro police have seen so much of it they are ready with instructions for riders who encounter it: Resistance is futile:
“There’s nothing worth fighting over and getting assaulted for,” said Deputy Chief Ron Pavlik of the two women defending themselves. “There are lot better ways to fight back.” Read more at http://www.wnd.com/2012/12/black-mobs-take-over-washington-metro/#bHaCd2hKzoLxXx8V.99

A roving feral mob doesn’t get diddly but maybe one warning shot as they try to climb over the fence.
Might even take a real shot at the first one with a high power air rifle, just to save ammo, and to give a real sting.
Probably watching them make donuts down at Krispy Kreme.
Anacostia’s core long term problem is that it has far too many housing projects. There will be limits to gentrification as long as project density is high. The good news is that even dim bulb lefties have finally figured out that concentrated poverty is a poisonous thing. The effort now is to move to scattered site assisted housing and mixed income/mixed use neighborhoods. As old projects are closed/renovated/repurposed, they tend to morph into something different. That at least has been the case on and around Capitol Hill. Anacostia starts from deeper in the whole, but the same logic applies.
It won’t be a quick process, but I do think it will happen. As I said before, I know a number of people who live over there. All of them moved there within the last ten years, drawn by affordability and proximity to Capitol Hill and downtown. It’s a trickle, not a flood, but the area is perking up. Minnesota Avenue, MLK, and Good Hope Road all look better than they used to. And traffic in the ‘burbs just gets worse. Why sit through the Fairfax County Car Show on 395 twice a day when you can live in Anacostia and be downtown in under 10 minutes. (Heck, Frederick Douglass WALKED both ways for years while he lived at Cedar Hill. )
DHS moving into St. E’s could be a trigger. We’ll see. I lauughed at your comment about the gays leading the way, as I’ve made the same observation for years. My neighborhood expert on such things and his partner moved away a couple of years ago, to be replaced by a 30-something couple with two young kids. I’m afraid I’ve lost my connection to the gay grapevine.:)
I worked at St. E’s in ‘91 across the Pike from the Dorthea Dix Building in the older section. Although some of the old buildings were literally falling apart, it was a very beautiful place. Afterall, it had been landscaped for over 100 years. There were even several small (10-15 stones) Civil War grave sites tucked among the trees.
Dennis....Should we ping our obtuse friend you so deftly handled about black crime how he wishes to parse this one
How many white subway trains are mobbed by whites...something like that
More likely they all have that Krispy Creme app on their cell phone that announces when the closest shop has a fresh batch about to come out of the ovens...
Yes, it’s a spectacular site. I’ve not seen detailed drawings or a model of the proposed redevelopment, but if done well it could (and should) be a game changer for the neighborhood.
Thousands of feds should translate into good street security in the immediate vicinity. Thousands of feds are also going to get tired of the cafeteria and start looking for neighborhood eateries. Starbucks, Subway, and the other chains won’t be far behind. And so it starts. Some of them will then realize that they can buy a fairly spacious home within a few blocks, and get it for a song if they’re quick.
Once the yuppie-to-junkie ratio reaches an acceptable level, things can change pretty fast.
This did NOT work with the little kitty that showed up at my door!
Alternatively, you could put him/her to work.
Mousing, digging post holes, etc.
Philosophically I get your point, but it is rarely as clear-cut as all that. A lot of otherwise rational people get messed up with addiction. Using drugs isn't really any different from other risk-taking activities. You make a decision that the risk is manageable and the result is worth it. In the case of most risk-taking, you will eventually be wrong.
Sure it is. But it is not necessarily adulterated with "more addictive" drugs. It is a gateway drug in itself. People try it, like it, and decide to try something stronger. The notion that "all street pot is adulterated" is unprovable and is a stalking horse for pot legalization.
King Solomon foresaw exactly the situation we are experiencing here.
But until these small mobs sense that they could face repercussions, they will just get bolder. … The threat of reprisal is all that is keeping too many of our fellow humans from becoming thugs. We need to keep that threat real.
Because sentence against an evil work is not executed speedily, therefore the heart of the sons of men is fully set in them to do evil.The authorities are charged with making the threat of reprisal real; when they refuse their charge, then we will start to see anarchy and vigilante justice.
— Ecclesiastes 8:11
Legalizing ("decriminalizing", "marionbarryizing," whatever you want to call it) only soft drugs will have no impact whatsoever on demand for hard drugs precisely because of the addictive nature of hard drugs. The cartels, crews, cookers and pushers will still do a humming business keeping the armies of hardcases supplied. Those people aren't going away, and most of them won't be tempted to buy kiddie stuff down at the government store. Turf will still be fought over, kids will still get whacked and single moms will still end up dead in alleys.
Legalization is a pipedream. Unless you legalize ALL drugs, that is. Supposedly no one wants that.
Here’s what I think a better idea.
Give one’s “extra” to churches and tell anyone who wanders by to go to the church on such and such street, they have a hot meal every day.
Around here many churches have a hot meal once a week as I live in a very poor rural white area. Homeless or poor people can just about get one hot meal a day by visiting different churches, plus there are food banks. I would imagine that they will still be functioning until they run out of food.
I would never, ever give a stranger anything, even a ziplock of rice and beans - if they are wandering around they won’t be able to cook it, anyway. It’s asking for serious trouble.
Thankfully I live more than a tank of gas away from any large city with masses of ferals, and my valley is easily defensible. For which I am thankful more and more.
Interesting comments.
I rode the Metro from Manassas into DC several days when I visited on vacation.
It was an interesting blend of people, many very attractive women (not surprising given the wealth of the area) and then gangsta/ghetto types getting on as you got closer to town.
DC is truly a fairy tale place, my cousin lives there in a $800,000 home that would be about $40,000 here in Indiana.
Serious questions, BTW
You can't consider yourself to be prepared unless you have answered them, either.
“No one knows what the two white women were doing on that Metro in that part of Washington, D.C.”
I remember when Chandra Levy disappeared back in 2001, everyone was shocked because she lived in a “safe” neighborhood. I had to point out that there are no “safe” areas in D.C. that don’t have armed guards. No place between Northern Virginia and Baltimore City that is connected to the road network is safe. The goblins have wheels and public transportation and they go wherever they want. They may be more violent on their home turf but they’re happy to export it.
That said, I generally felt safe on the Metro during normal commute times or on select lines/areas of town.
