Umm...nobody walks after dark in DC.
The New York Democrat is a freshman elected in 2012.
Oh, that explains it. Naively she expected DC to be as safe as NYC.

#5 I've lived in DC for the past 14+ years. Up until 2009-10, crime overall was on the decline. But starting around 2011 sometime, I've noticed a significant uptick in these types of "hit and run" assaults/robberies (including the recently termed, "knock out game" types of assaults).

As one might expect, the vast majority of these types of crimes appear to be black-on-white/asian/latino insofar as what gets reported to the police. Of course, I'm the racist for pointing out the obvious rather than the perps who clearly target non-blacks when it comes to victim selection.

For the most part, I blame the 0bama admin for the way it's economically devastated urban minority communities like we have in DC not to mention the stonewalling of school choice that has gone on during this administration's tenure. The persistently high-levels of minority unemployment in this country, particularly for blacks, is beyond shameful. It is a disgrace, a travesty and deserves to be pointed out at every opportunity if only to prove the utter failure of this admin's anti-free enterprise and distributive economic policies which end up hurting the working poor the most. Of course, this is something POTUS will never be held accountable for and will only be blamed on fiscal conservatives for their "favor the rich" and "obstructionist" positions.

What a topsy-turvy world we live in.
