OP is an account with 1 post (this one) and 3 comments, all with snarky trolling about crime in DC. Ive been seeing a lot of these crappy accounts with #### posting recently about crime. Strange. Almost as if there is a concerted and probably paid effort to continue this narrative, like Ive been saying, and people have called me tin foil and a joke. You wont learn till they take home rule. Just watch. Step one, make dc seem like a failed place.

Another four number bro just talking crime over here a couple days ago.

Im not saying every 4number account is associated with this. My point is, making a burner account is very easy, and there has been an uptick of these kinds of posts, trying to make it seem like the sky is falling, or people are being lied to about how much DC is like New Jack City, or whatever… its a pattern. And when you see a concerted effort like that, you have to ask, for what… who gains by this constant messaging. I used to see this in FFX underground all the time, people thought its just low iq trolls, but it was being headed up by very powerful interests in the county and outside the county like David LaRock. Look him up.

You’re delusional if you earnestly believe DC doesn’t have a crime problem.

Did i say that? I very much want police to do more in seeking out the core problem. However, that doesnt change the issue that these posts go beyond trolling, and seem to have commonalities and signs that they are a focused narrative.

I’m sure some are trolling. But many are likely real people expressing real fears about crime in their communities. It’s not being overly dramatic as many in this sub seem to believe it is.

Just woke up a couple days ago to create a reddit account and post three times all about dc crime being underreported or otherwise worse than it seems. Ok. Totally normal behavior.

I acknowledged there are probably troll accounts dedicated to pushing a narrative.
