This mess is getting too close to home. Time for us to consider living elsewhere. Yeah, I get that crime is everywhere, but there has to be safer neighborhoods to live in.
HOOD RATS !!!
This is why I left Lexington park area years ago and I don’t even like to go shopping down there this area is becoming another dc
Everyone knows it was the gun’s fault, not the thug that pulled the trigger.
FJB!!!
That’s dumb dog logic
Another worthless, childish post that has no value.
This is definitely getting too close to home. I honestly thought we’d feel safe moving our family here from Waldorf, because DC folk was slowly moving there. But in hindsight I guess we should’ve stayed there and renovated our house…smh…Lesson well learned
