I love Rasika, they have a tasting course menu that I recommend. I also like Tosca downtown for Italian.

We can't all just choose to move near to a convenient rail access, there's not nearly enough housing for that.

Reply to comment by arichnad in Felon who killed DC cyclist attempts to vacate plea deal. by [deleted]
Thank you, for having a conversation about it!
I think in the case of those totally depraved (mass murder, child abuse, repeat murder, etc) then sentencing them for life could be a way to protect the public.
I think if people are a physical threat to others then they also should be locked up but I'm not sure about what the right duration is. I don't know that "sentencing guidelines" are really that effective considering how high recidivism is. I think the justice system focuses more on penalizing than on rehabilitation.
These are just my random thoughts, so thanks for listening. I don't have all the answers but I know that the public seems to think that anyone who commits any crime is a waste of a person and can just be locked away forever, and that they are morally corrupt and unfixable or something like that. "They would do something bad, and I would never do such a thing", "they're a bad person and I'm a good one", etc. We all justify the rules we break and things we do that are wrong but judge others for what they do.

A perfectly understandable and reasonable reaction! But I’m pretty sure that fella is not on this subreddit, so he isn’t going to see your post, and tomorrow he’ll just keep doing what he’s been doing. Unless of course someone who can describe him and his behavior and location calls to get him some mental health care.

Lol at the city doing everything except solve the problem: The Sportsbook is tanking Navy Yard and should be gone. Who could imagine why a bunch of criminally inclined people suddenly want to bring guns and congregate to a block where a bunch of out of towners frequently carry large amounts of cash?

Cops have always made OT. But instead of deploying them to places where there is actual violent crime, they’re deployed to the highest bidder. How does this protect and serve? You get police protection, if you can afford it? Will MPD be able to deploy more cops to neighborhoods experiencing high levels of violence? Or will they be restricted by having a contract to rent them out to someone else? You gonna go tell a neighborhood that has had a dozen murders this year that they can have more cops, it’s just $2k a night.

I came from NJ, bruh compared to NJ Transit WMATA is a godsend. I have no clue why anyone even complains about it. You can get from Maryland to Virginia for $5

When someone lunges at me and screams "faggot" because I said I didn't want him following me, I'm running, thanks.

I hear what youre saying, but this group is coming in for a training on tribal law so the museum is relevant. That’s why I’m hoping a knowledgeable guide may improve the experience.

Nothing bad has ever come from not enough officers parading around looking for threats. Never ever ever.

Most people would say that if your employees are working more than 40 hours a week to provide a service, then that employer doesn't have enough staffing.
