This stuff is not supposed to happen in Arlington. I bet they are from Maryland!
Nah, illegals from South Arlington, of course.
glad they were caught. i love the clarendon area but lately i’ve quite a few thugs hanging around there.
It’ll get even worse when they finish “the projects” at the church.
Just the beginning of a downward spiral, I wouldn’t be surprised to see them open up a TGI Fridays in the area.
Has anyone ever considered reverse income requirements? Let’s say that as a rule you can only live in Clarendon is your household income is 100K+
Yeah, we did that kind of thing for a few hundred years. You remember the feudal system?
I thought we already did! Who else is paying $3K/mo. for a 2-bedroom?
Wow, I have lived in Arl all my life …didnt know there were so many racist here, must be imported.
Probably from slums in Courthouse or Ballston, can’t believe this kind of crime is happening in the utopia of Clarendon
good laugh
This is the downside of gentrification. When an area becomes TOO nice, thieves come around because that’s where the money is.
We need to trash the place a little to make it safer. Break a few windows.
The reverse “broken window” theory. I like it!
Happened yesterday in front of Le Pain Quotidien in Clarendon – someone decided to smash the glass of the bus stop window.
Such rebels!
First you have hipster dooshes throwing cigarettes at cops, and the next thing you know, gangs are running around breaking windows!
ARLnow has the best trolls!
Arlington trolls were developed through an intensive, collaborative process taking input from many stakeholders. Great consideration was given to the type and nature of ARL trolling. You’ll note, for example, that trollish comments are still formulated in complete thoughts, and do not ride the CAPS Lock, characteristics which were frequently raised in the comment process.
I would say that the commute made me do it.
“If we don’t come down hard on these clowns, we will be up to our #$!#%$ in jugglers!”
Stay in school, kids.
Sounds like my first date. If only she hadn’t ordered dessert…
I wish the thieves would mug everyone who commented here today!
mug them of their keyboards?
if you don’t like it, get out of the kitchen.
They need to go back to PG County.
I can’t believe I missed out on this one…
We covered for you.
Wow, that is real close to KinderCare – that is disturbing to have crime like that in the neighborhood.
sounds like almost eveyone here who commented is ignant, and racist. if you dont like arlington, then get out! Seems like none of you are even from here! i dont like the fact that people like you even live in arlington. it so sad
