But heaven help you if you munch on a french fry on the metro!
The transit police will be on you like fleas in a shelter.
When we went to the Beck event in DC, we booked a hotel that was either at the last or next-to-last stop in the SE, on the Green Line. We weren’t familiar with the geography of DC’s demographics.
Our plan was to buy cheap folding chairs and a cooler to use at the event and then donate them to a church or some other activity. We went to the nearest Wal-Mart to get the items. The store looked like it had had a riot sweep through it. There was merchandise hanging off shelves and garbage and merchandise on the floor throughout the nearly-empty store. The staff was surly. We left as quickly as possible w/o making a purchase.
The next day, we drove over to the SW in Virgina to find a store.
Not in DC. Thanks to some aggressive litigation against the municipality, you can now "own" a weapon in the city, but it's still illegal to take it out of your house.
So he's lamenting that the hold-up didn't proceed in a calm, orderly fashion?!

Unless it was a plainclothes federal law enforcement person who just happened to be riding.
Of course, if he was the wrong color, then his career would be over.
lol... :)
As someone who has had trouble with black youths on the Metro, this story does not surprise me. This was several years ago. I complained to Metro, and they did squat. Take a cab.
And today's behavior is on full bellies. We ain't seen nothing yet.
“But many parts of DC are absolute hell-holes, the public schools are a disgrace, and all branches of the local government are riddled with incompotence and corruption and cronyism.”..........better remove the word “local” before government.....It makes it more clear.
As long as we have Odumbo and Holder, NOTHING will change.

There’s already violence between thugs and the rest of society.
By mid-1923 workers were being paid as often as three times a day. Their wives would meet them, take the money and rush to the shops to exchange it for goods. However, by this time, more and more often, shops were empty. Storekeepers could not obtain goods or could not do business fast enough to protect their cash receipts. Farmers refused to bring produce into the city in return for worthless paper. Food riots broke out. Parties of workers marched into the countryside to dig up vegetables and to loot the farms. Businesses started to close down and unemployment suddenly soared. The economy was collapsing.
Dig the bit about parties of "workers" "marching" out to the farm country to steal food. Wonder how that will work out here in the good o' US of A?

Democrats brag about being the party of single women, minorities, LGBTQ, etc., but they rarely mention the large volume of violent crimes that their voters generally commit.
Anacostia remains a hellhole.
The only reason any part of SE has become inhabitable is because the navy moved so much into the Navy Yard and the stadium got built. This resulted in bulldozing everything that was there and building office buildings and high end housing.
What major complex is going to be built in anacostia? Nothing. It’s a hellhole now and will remain a hellhole.
The only smart thing to do is cuit the subway lines to keep the savages on their own side of the river.
“parties of workers”...
sounds so benign.
Sounds like how our present day MSM would characterize it.
“If Washington city doesn’t want its citizens to protect themselves, than its the responsibility of the city to protect its citizens.”
It is the SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE responsibility of the Congress.
