Oh yeah, I’ve had a few run ins with him. I think his name in Kyle. He walked next to me from 14th and P all the way to the frozen foods section of Whole Foods (yes, walked into the store with me) snarkilly asking if he was bothering me and shaming me for not giving him $40 dollars. I didn’t look/speak with him the entire time, but he left after I lost it and yelled back at him.

Saw him again weeks later while walking my dog near Blagden alley early in the morning. He didn’t recognize me and started in with the same tactic — aggressively asking if he was bothering me while I didn’t acknowledge him and walked away from him. Had to shout at him again to get him to stop following me.

Months later (and a few weeks ago) I found him passed out in front of my next door neighbors front door early one morning. He had a cut on his face, an aerosol canister of some sort by his hand, and my neighbors flower planters were strewn across her porch. (Looked like a flailing pass out) I was actually worried that he was in rough shape so I tried to wake him up to see if he was ok. No response, called for an ambulance. They show up, wake him up/revive him, ask him his name (this is how I know his first name). This guy actually starts swearing at the EMTs and acting aggressively, but finally wanders off after a few minutes.

He’s tried to follow me a few times since, but now he goes away immediately after I say “go away Kyle.” I’m an average size guy though, so I don’t think this tactic would work for everyone.

So yeah, I get how persistent and scary he can be. Sorry you’ve had run ins with him too.

What does that mean, exactly? Like build shops or whatever? Or a park?

My girlfriend and I (also Asian) encountered a similar incident on the red line a few months ago at Farragut North headed to metro center. They never caught the guy, so I'm wondering if it's the same person.

I'm somehow inclined to believe it's not a huge number of people responsible, but a couple of repeat troublemakers. Hope they catch this person!

I still like the city. Wish I could leave my hell.

I mean one dude yelling at someone isn’t anywhere near newsworthy let alone as bad as a shooting…. Like where are you from that one dude yelling is top news… in the capitol of the United States

I was watching the news and they said that used to be one of the worst stops before crime went down

Was on the news, active shooter in Potomac avenue and IIRC one person dead

That makes sense, Americans can only criticize politicians if they run against them. If they are not willing to run against the politicians they should just be quiet.

He isn’t a decent person as his grandstanding and kowtowing has made our city less safe.

There’s benches on the Glenmont side of the Red Line at Gallery, none at Shady Grove’s side. Make it make sense…

DC is a no fault jurisdiction for car accidents so you would be fucked either way

NYC has implemented this kind of system. I haven't read anything about it lately but as far as I'm aware it hasn't made the John Wick universe into real life.

That was an avenue for them to push an anti police narrative…

Not to be productive or care about fellow humans being terrorized on public transit.

Cuervo and have Mexico pay for it.

Something imported like his wives.

Hopefully it comes in time, but I'd be thrilled to see peach cobbler specials.

Helping one's community being considered privilege has to be the most backwards, righteous take I've heard in a while.

Exactly. Everyone has a crime boner these days.

Thank you for this.

That is the fare system for the RideOn FLASH BRT system. Payment kiosks for the buses are on the platforms.
