Medics took a man with what looks like a gun shot to the chest out of Mexicue restaurant and loaded him into an ambulance. Another man on the street also looks like he took a bullet. Scary night on one of the busiest streets in DC

This was an upscale and previously safe neighborhood but there’s a section (Wardman Row) of subsidized housing (red stripes) and since the riots it’s become a hotbed of violence and criminal activity. https://t.co/JvbyxCp3lz pic.twitter.com/N1kMSQkf95

There is zero reason that Logan should be the war zone that it is. Pre-Riots you felt safe walking around at all hours of the night. Now you can’t do brunch at Le Dip without jumping everytime a car backfires.

Left wing activist. First tweet made me say "wow, maybe they get it when it's close to them." Second tweet makes me say, ah, of course, that's the spin, it's all the rednecks with their love of guns. pic.twitter.com/58opQtwrK3
