Debate About DC's Safety Takes Over Social Media

D.C. residents came to the city’s defense after a Twitter post claimed the district had been “destroyed by rioters.” News4’s Cory Smith reports. Since this story aired, the writer of the original tweet commented, in part: “Perhaps people don’t like that my tweet sounded too apocalyptic, as though the city were a charred husk. OK, fair enough, but my point has always been: why are so many people so seemingly undisturbed by several months’ worth of regular violence, intimidation, and clashes with police in DC?”
