Reply to comment by RoleFizzleBeef in lol at the police ticketing and towing the cars that are literally parked on the shoulder of 66 by the Kennedy Center by mikeydhakid

They weren’t just on the shoulder of 395 today, people were parked ON THE FUCKING BRIDGE in the right lane today

This is the end result of people living way out in fucking Leesburg or wherever having their brains rotted by everyone talking about the CrImE wAvE

This is bollocks. I live in Leesburg and took the silver line in for the festival. Those cars were packed. Ashburn station did a ton of volume yesterday.

Yo I live in DC, use Metro, and would love if the city addressed crime (which has legitimately exploded the past few years) and made trains more efficient (though Metro is pretty great compared to many other US transit systems).

Or maybe actually address crime and make trains more efficient so people will ride, just a thought!

Look, you’re not going to get shanked on the Orange line between Vienna and Smithsonian on Sunday at 10 am.

It's a slippery slope though.
Once someone parks outside zone hours and gets a ticket, they are one step closer to disregard for the law necessary to stab a metro passenger.

"Trains run on time and address crime" sounds fascist to me.

>Mussolini may have done many brutal and tyrannical things; he may have destroyed human freedom in Italy; he may have murdered and tortured citizens whose only crime was to oppose Mussolini; but 'one had to admit' one thing about the Dictator: he 'made the trains run on time.'

Just a dash of jest in what I am expressing

Classic DC liberal argument. Asking to address crime is fascist!!

I am not a liberal, I am opposed to liberalism, I am opposed to both capitalism (exploitive) and democracy (authoritarian).
You kinda have to be pro capitalism and pro democracy to be a liberal.

I am no Marxist either. Nor a defender of States.

You mean like how the trains are peaceful and run so often I literally never have to check when they're coming, just like in a real civilized city?

Literally take the damn metro. I am so perplexed but the idiots who parked on 66/395.

Honestly put their cars in a crusher, they have proven they aren't responsible enough to be commanding a 2 ton metal box

It was insane. Seriously people. Parking on a literal highway is not safe

Can confirm. Walking across the bridge, I saw a man parked in the right lane, dressed in a suit, putting his kid into a stroller. With a wall dividing the highway from the path, the only way to get to the Tidal Basin was to roll into oncoming traffic.
