Reply to comment by wordsmith217 in I think DCist is just trying to gaslight people about issues around the city. by [deleted]

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.
