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

They got it covered.....
“The MTPD has an authorized strength of 420 sworn police officers, 106 security special police, and 24 civilian personnel. Officers provide a variety of law enforcement and public safety services on the Metrorail and Metrobus systems in the Washington Metropolitan Area.
MTPD police officers have jurisdiction and arrest powers throughout the 1,500 square mile Transit Zone that includes Maryland, Virginia, and the District of Columbia for crimes that occur in or against Transit Authority facilities. It is the only tri-jurisdictional police agency in the country “

“No one knows what the two white women were doing on that Metro in that part of Washington, “ — they need permission to be there???
Even with a weapon, one against 10 in very closed quarters is an almost guaranteed end result for the victim. You may take a few out with you, but it's not gonna end well.
My money would be on avoiding this environment altogether.
I had the misfortune of visiting DC on business one summer. Not realizing how close the airport was to my hotel, I got a rental car and ended up lost like an idiot (before the GPS days). It was a real scary place to be at midnight...
You've all heard that old story about running red lights because you were afraid to stop... well that's exactly what I was doing. If you stopped at a red light, as soon as you stopped rolling, the group of thugs on the corner would start to approach your vehicle. There was a reason the area had little traffic and I knew it.
I swore to never return and I haven't. I wouldn't even drive through that place again without a tail gunner and a navigator.
As Capitol Hill has gotten expensive, Anacostia is just one of the close-in areas that is attracting new interest. Capitol Hill is also expanding north, across H Street up to Gallaudet. Even Trinidad (between Gallaudet and Bladensburg Road) is changing. A coworker bought a house there last summer, and I just dropped off one of my daughter's classmates there last night. Not scary. Not that I'd want to hang out at the convenience store late at night ....
One by one, the old housing projects get shut down, and areas start to come back. But I don't want to get started on LBJ's madcap experiments that Great Societied the cities near to death. That's a debate for a later time.
My point about Anacostia is that we need to stop stigmatizing the whole area. That means burrowing down into sub-neighborhoods and learning a new urban geography. There are still plenty of rough spots, but they're starting to shrink as the improving sections expand. Like any city, you need to know where you are and have situational awareness. Suburbanites don't want to get lost in Anacostia late at night, or downtown Baltimore, Philadelphia, Chicago, LA, or any other big city either, but there's no reason to invent mythologies about these places. A lot of good people live in these areas, and are fighting to reclaim them. Situational awareness.
I moved onto Capitol Hill more than 30 years ago when housing was a bargain and surburbanites thought we were crazy because the neighborhood was heavily melanin enhanced. (Even at the time, there was more street crime in Old Town Alexandria than on Capitol Hill, but Alexandria was considered chic. Go figure.) A new generation is continuing to press the urban frontier. This is one of the purposes for which God created young people.
Ten or fifteen years from now, we will be seeing stories about how people got rich on Anacostia real estate. That first ridge east of the river commands sweeping views of the river and the city; it's heavily wooded; it's highly accessible to downtown yet quiet and not traffic clogged; and it has a great built-in local park network (the fort circle parks). In any reasonably healthy major city, this should be premium real estate. It took massive bad planning (LBJ and the project fetish again) to wreck it. It WILL come back. In the mid-term, the recycling of the St. Elizabeth's complex is a big story to watch. That alone could flip a big part of Anacostia pretty fast.
P.S. A simple example: I've played a lot of football and softball, and my daughter has played a lot of soccer, in Anacostia Park. It's an idyllic location: open, grassy fields right on the river across from the Navy Yard and boathouse row; scads of little kids playing soccer; family BBQ's and birthday parties in the picnic grounds; the high school crews doing their thing on the river on Saturday mornings. You couldn't ask for a nicer place to play, aside from the (slight but noticeable) slope down towards the river. Yet it's part of Capitol Hill lore that surbuban teams from time to time would actually forfeit games rather than come into dreaded "Anacostia." This is cluelessness on steriods. It's a mistake to stigmatize the whole area.
When seconds count, police are just minutes away...!
So, not only are the cops not protecting the people, the cops are telling people to surrender to these hoodlums. Brilliant. Great way to encourage more attacks. If the damn cops and government weren't so pathetically PC and they would say, "We suggest all citizens arm themselves. You have the right to defend yourselves against these vermin. They must be exterminated." But, no. These attacks will go on until some politically connected person gets killed by these vermin; then all hell will break loose.
Concealed handgun: Because it weighs less than (a) a police officer, and (b) the guilt of not defending my family.

Rats all over DC. Even in the White House, but most of them are the two-legged kind.
Uh... union meeting?
Uh ... don't blame unionism for this.
There simply are not enough Metro cops to protect folks on Metro. And Washington, DC being the gun-control paradise that it is, the honest denizens thereof have no effective means of protecting themselves. And parts of Washington, DC are third-world hellholes ruled by tribal law and thuggery.
when we happen to be in the district, we don’t go outside of NW and the immediate outskirts of the mall area. The rest is a no-go as far as I’m concerned. For us, the metro stops at metro center and Union Station. My wife was in uniform and walked right into the end of a wilding attack with multiple police agencies and rescue vehicles at the L’enfant Plaza station last year that curiously never made the news.
If you look at a map of the DC metro system, make it your business to stay away from every stop on the left side including the entire green line.
Beats the alternative.

This part of the story didn’t make any sense.
“Where are the police officers? “
Yeah right. They might have to do something. That would upset the people.
You can never solve a problem that political correctness prevents you from acknowledging even exists.
When I think of all the money spent on that “clean” transportation option...
Read the story. It was a Black streetgang “mob”. The police have learned not to interfere with Blacks doing their things. The political price they pay is too high.To wit: The Federal “civil Rights” prosecutors go after them tooth and toenail when they do. The best thing Whites can do for themselves is give the Black enclaves a wide berth. Because it is a fight you are not going to win. Don’t believe it? Ask George Zimmerman what happens to one after one defends theirself from a Black attacker.
Don’t you mean the right side — Northeast and Southeast?
The left side is Northwest D.C. and Arlington and Montgomery County
