Man you wanna see something wild hangout at the CVS in Tenleytown between 2:30-3:30. I’ve seen kids flash mob the store, run down the aisles hands out just knocking everything off the shelf. It’s mostly the Deal middle schoolers. They use to not allow students in but then DC said that was illegal. I only worked in that area for ~8 months and I’d never seen anything like it. Then a freshman at Willson broke a work van window with a butt slam right after school; got it all on video. Kids are reckless

Kids have always been reckless. Shit is just recorded on iPhones now

This is a fallacy. People have always been shitty, true. But there wasn't a time when this type of stuff was egged on and continuously allowed.

Agree to disagree there. All the petty shit I’m seeing now seems pretty similar to what I remember growing up in this city. It’s just caught on camera now

Covid wasn’t around in the 90s and we were stealing shit from stores and smashing windows of cars.

Didn’t have Bluetooth speakers to play on the metro tho

Not necessarily talking about the 90's. I'm aware DC is known for being an absolute shit show during the 90's.

The Wawa in Tenlytown started limiting the number of school kids that could be in the store at the time, I think because theft was becoming such an issue lol. I don’t live in the area anymore so I don’t see it as often but seeing the line stretch out the door never fails to elicit a chuckle from me

why are the rich kids so much worse than the middle class kids in rougher parts of town?
