Reply to comment by super_derp69420 in What do you like, or LOVE about Washington, DC? by yunnifymonte

What's exhausting is having to get a new bike so often because yours gets stolen so often. What's exhausting is getting your car repaired multiple times after several hit and runs. What's exhausting is getting robbed at gun point with your family while walking to dinner and having to get a new cell phone, license, and credit cards the next day.

Dang. Sounds like you hate it here. Maybe you should move?

I saw your other reply before your deleted it. Thanks for reminding me about the other thing I LOVE about DC; the people on this sub who attack you and down vote you when you point out the issues this city has instead of painting a pretty Bob Ross picture where violent crime is just a "happy accident" to be accepted.

Maybe people should stop accepting that being robbed and subjected to crime is not a great way to live.

Damn dude. I’ve lived here for 20 years in various neighborhoods and never had one of those things happen to me. Maybe bring your bike inside?

So it's my fault for not bringing my bike inside everywhere I go?! Why didn't I ever think of bringing it inside when I could?!?! Perhaps I should keep it inside and only Uber everywhere.... then it will never get stolen. And it often is inside where possible, but it's been stolen from "secure" garages and locked bike rooms before.

So your bikes are sooooo wanted that they’re stolen outside, inside locked garages, and locked bike rooms? Are they made of gold? Are you the star of a bike theft movie? This just sounds absurd and made up.

Yeah.... no one has ever heard of bikes being stolen in the city and it could NEVER happen more than once!!. I'm sure you'd question a rape victim as well and blame them for "asking for it".

Eh, I just think you’re a liar.

And I think you're a horrible person for victim blaming if they don't let your criteria. Now go tell some women how they're "asking for it" by wearing something revealing.

Just so we’re on the same page, you think having your bike stolen is the same as being raped? Jesus dude. Just because your story is so obviously fake doesn’t mean that anyone questioning it doesn’t believe the victim of a violent sexual crime. Step back into reality, please.

You're the one victim blaming... now move along little fella. The world does not have to justify itself to meet your approval.
