Drediock, theres a place in DC called Anacostia. I'm betting money you weren't wandering around there at night.

BTW just where is this area located.
Would like to dig out the map and see if I did happen to wander in there. I thought I covered pretty much most of it.
Not all ..but most

The loss of life,maimed and wounded in Iraq is a tragedy and the reasons for the war and it's execution no matter how well Bush and Rumsfield say it's going, is simply obscene and is one the worst displays and miss use of political and military power in modern history.

While we dont have another country ruling us alot of the same things that are happening there happen here.
We still probably lost far fewer there then  say LA did in the same time span.
What we keep hearing about is whats going on in a few areas and not the country as a whole.

Now Im not going ot say everything is all sugar and cream.
But for sure it isnt the utter disaster some proclaim it to be either

double post. move on

On pondering the subject I cant help but chuckle at the thought that had Clinton.. or no better yet
Had Gore been president and did the same thing this exact same arguements would be being made ibut by opposite people.

Excluding me who was in favor of going into Irraq even if the reason was given was  "because its tuesday" LMAO

Drediock,

Of course I don't know you, just the same as you don't know me.

Anacostia is located in SE, on the MD side of the Anacostia river. Just after you cross the Phillip Sousa bridge on Pennsylvannia avenue heading south, you are in Anacostia. Thats the more public area, if you take a left or right on any of the following streets up to about 18th St - you are in the ghetto (serious, project housing). Can't drive through that area without seeing atleast two or three burnt out cars.

Its not so bad anymore since they placed a Police Station there, but its still bad. Gun shots can be heard every night.

It's like where I live in L.A., I walk the streets, even at night. Nothing happened to me yet, mostly because the drug dealers rule the streets and "protect their neighbors". Alas, everytime I go out, 3 or 4 people bug you out for cash, and it's a matter of time till one gets upset and stabs you, or shoot you.

Plus there's the occasional gang war, with being victim of a drive by, or simply being mistaken for somebody else (like my dead neighbor).

My folks from France visited me, thought it was a nice neighborhood, loved my neighbors. They thought I was exagerating till one night a guy was guned down next to my doorstep by an automatic weapon.

Drediock, don't kid yourself, if you are really from a rough neighborhood, you know that you never turn your back to the street, because you are never safe.

Actually its not the street that I really concerned myself with.
Its the side of the sidwalk away from the street.
Even today when I walk down a sidewalk I tend to walk closer to the cars then the buildings.
And late night on an apparantly empty street. I walk down the center of the street. I can usually hear and then dodge whatever comes down the street. Its the ambushes from the allys and bushes that concern me
Better SA
But again you know attitude has alot to do with it. Not looking afraid. and not being afraid to look back when someones looking at you  Nod and say "sup"
Its the ones that act all afraid or overplay the toughness that tend to get jumped

I'm living in South Central, at the border of Inglewood and Watts. Here is my guardian angel, Big Lips Dony. Poor guy died 2-3 months ago, got ran over by a car in front of my house.
