Will Chamberlain post on X: “I brought my family to DC for the Cherry Blossom festival. The first thing I saw when I exited the L'Enfant Plaza Metro was a gang of youths driving ATVs down the street, one of whom was doing a wheelie. So forgive me if I doubt that crime is down”

Mike Drucker reposted the post, commenting: “I'm sorry but I refuse to stop laughing at "one of whom was doing a wheelie"”.

Katie Cruel further comments: “This shit is why I can never convince my conservative relatives that crime is actually down in most American cities. Anytime they see minorities or teenagers doing anything they don't approve of, it's automatically categorized by their brains as "crime" regardless of actual harm.”

The entire conversation is screencapped, with the comment: “"crime" for conservatives is basically just existing in public as a person of color”.

@drahardja right like… white kids going down the street on dirt bikes, including popping wheelies, were definitely a normal thing in my suburban neighborhood in the early 2000s.

"They're on dirt bikes!"
So?
"On a public street, not a motocross park!"
So?

@maco Also, you know “gang of youths” means dark-skinned kids. No one uses that phrase for white kids in the US.

This reminds me of the chilling documentary The Perfect Neighbour, which I watched the other day. Kids doing potentially annoying but perfectly normal kid stuff being reframed as 'rough youths prone to antisocial behaviour' 😬
