I am not personally convinced that "community walks" or "take back the corner" events result in any long-term success. The one thing they are really good at, however, is getting the MPD involved in the community and politicians to acknowledge that we have a problem. That being said, there will be a "Take Back the Corner" event on Wednesday December 5th, starting at 6:30 PM. Everyone will meet in the 300 block of Ingraham Street NW, at the small triangle-shaped park at the corner of Ingraham and Kansas Ave.
Personally, I want to start hearing from Muriel Bowser and other elected officials what legislative action will take place to curtail the violence in DC. Much of our violence is simply due to the fact that idiot thugs know they can get away with just about anything in DC. Hell, it's the same reason why I don't obey the traffic laws in DC as carefully as I do in MD or VA. VA and MD cops don't play, but in DC the cops disobey the laws right along with the ordinary citizens. I realize that this culture has to stop, but it's existed for so long in the DC Metro area that changing it will require significant legislative actions making jail sentences some of the toughest in the country.
