Why stop at only 25 years?

If they do, then why don't black people act like it?
The most likely person to kill a black person is another black person.
The vast majority of schools in black communities are train wrecks.
Black people overwhelmingly support corrupt black politicians.
Black people overwhelmingly support policies that destroy their neighborhoods.

If black lives matter, then why as a community don't they start acting like black lives matter?

Demoralization
Destabilization

Speaking of DC

They are working a mass shooting

‘Off the hook’: Mother of man gunned down in DC mass shooting says he was frustrated with rise in crime - WTOP News

The mother of a man shot and killed during a mass shooting in Southeast D.C. on Saturday worked three jobs to support his family and aspired to be a role model for young people in the community, she told WTOP.

Long before Saturday’s shooting, Satcher said Hodges had grown frustrated with the rise in crime across the city.

“He said, ‘These youngins, they’re not afraid of the police, they’re not afraid of the law,'” Satcher said. “They don’t have any activities for them to do and they don’t have their parents in their life. It’s everywhere. They’re robbing, stealing, killing and doing a lot of carjackings. It’s just off the hook.”

This makes me so angry. Build more prisons and put these people there. This is a lost generation. Write them off.

I hate the excuse that the kids don’t have anything to do. There are 4 big awesome community centers where I work. The playgrounds in the area I work are generally so freaking cool. There’s two splash pads. NNO was just thrown across the country. Not far from this shooting is the fort DuPont Ice rink (to be fair I believe that’s under construction), the Nats community baseball stadium, the anacostia park is AMAZING and NPS does a great job keeping it clean, aquatic gardens are a few miles away, kinsman island is close, and countless other random things.

I have relatives that are visiting from England for the first time at the end of this year. I am debating if I should take them to see the Mall area. I'm so ashamed that I can't be proud to show off my country because of safety concerns. If we don't have the right to feel safe in our country, why do we have a government?

They are 100% British (in-law family) and from Cheltenham, England. I guess I have to tell them that George Washington helped found this country by kicking the British out so that we can now be scared to walk around our Capital with his name on it!

Agreed. These kids are sociopaths.

Then go to Ft McHenry or other 1812 sight where their asses got kicked again.

Yes . Take them . The actual Mall/ Museums area is safe .

LOL. I'm sure I will jab them with words. I probably should take them to Mt. Vernon.

Mt Vernon nice.


Food good!

Is the Metro from New Carrollton to Smithsonian still safe or I should drive in?

Haha. I hear you. However, the Mall is actually one place I feel quite safe around DC. Nice photo!

It comes down to preference: Would you prefer that your car be stolen at the New Carrollton Metro Station or in DC?

But seriously.... I'd drive in and park in a well-lit area or in a reserved spot in a garage (https://spothero.com/) to really save time. Others may have different advice on this.

 

[RFBfromDE]

If I HAD to go to DC I'd use an on line parking app and snag a spot in a lit, daytime lot in a safe location.

I did that last time I went to a Caps game in the afternoon.

Obviously, the solution to call out the National Guard:
