DC metro riders are sometimes victims to vicious assaults and muggings. A majority of those occur within the confines of the district, rather than in MD or VA. As everyone on here already knows, DC is the criminal playground: no armed law abiding citizens!
Tonight I witnessed another attack. It occurred at the Farragut West metro station approximately 1:00 AM today. For those who may not be aware, often criminals in DC will attack at ANY stop. For instance, the Farragut West station is in a very affluent area of DC. In this instance, the victim was repeatedly "curb stomped" on the gap between the metro platform and metro car. The police and medical response time was 17 minutes. I video recorded the assault, however, if I would have been carrying I am not sure the resultant would have been any different. One of my cardinal rules is I will only carry to protect myself, my family, and my girlfriend.
Anyway I will post the entire video tomorrow. This stuff happens all the time, but is never reported. It's so frequent the police and ambulance took 17 minutes to respond in this instance.
