Probably best ypu just stay in your hotel room then

I know someone who did. Hightailed it out of the area and wowed to never come back. People are fragile snowflakes sometimes

I was way more scared of getting sprayed by a skunk at night when I lived in a rural area than I am of being a crime victim in DC. Sure, it could happen, but it’s not that likely

This is the worst troll attempt I’ve ever seen

There will be an occasional obnoxious drunk dude yelling. Just ignore and walk away.

Where are you from? Because I know Mexico is more dangerous but in America we shouldn’t accept that

Not really, they're only there to have a good time. Your options are (a) ignore them and keep walking and (b) join them.

The entire street is lined with bars and clubs, you have your pick of vibe, level of crowds, type of music and amount of underage drinking.

My band frequently plays at either Bossa or Green Island (both along 18th street). At Bossa we get people who are there to dance, they get a few drinks but are chill and fun; at Green Island about midnight we start getting 19-year-old girls barely able to stand

That sounds like a lot going on in the mind at once. I can’t have a good time if I’m scared of being shot the whole time

Well I guess Fox News did it’s job on you. Congrats. 🎉

Or, they’ll do like many others visiting the city with their mindset — call the cops on someone minding their own business and potentially get someone hurt.

OP, just stay in Indiana if you’re coming with all this pretense.

I live in Rural Indians I have my own land and don’t have neighbors for at least half a mile

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_United_States_cities_by_crime_rate Indianapolis is #8 in violent crime rate. DC is #26

Do you seriously think there are gangs operating near the White House?

Think how much worse it would be to travel to Montana. That should help.

Honestly though. It’s people like this that are dangerous. They’ll call the cops on someone minding their business “because they’re suspicious” after spending weeks with an image of DC being crime infested running through their heads… smh

That’s gonna get someone shot.

Why does the crime happen though? I would expect police or law enforcement to destroy all these gangs especially if it’s near the White House

It’s an anti-anxiety medication

Where should I avoid? Does it get worst that Adams Morgan?
