What I asked was, why would Bethesda Magazine be printing a passionate defense of the restaurant and its owner when both are located in DC, not Montgomery County, and certainly not Bethesda. It gets the spider sense tingling.<br /><br />3:09: Wrong. It may have been improperly jammed into one paragraph, but it was much longer than a standard paragraph, and much longer than the typical "morning note." Why were they writing about it at all? Is there a personal or financial interest by the publication or reporter? It's out of their coverage area. Weird.<br /><br />8:52: You're just making stuff up at this point. THE RESTAURANT IS IN DC, NOT BETHESDA - what about that concept do you not understand? An armed purse snatcher roaming around on the other side of the street from Maryland is indeed a threat to Friendship Heights residents. They are not threatened by a gunman at a DC restaurant unless they go to that restaurant.

And is this position based on the pizzeria being all of two miles from the Montgomery County border or because the owner just happens to be a Democrat?

And I've managed projects with budgets of several thousand dollars, and - unlike your loser bosses on the County Council - have stayed within the budgets, and delivered the finished product on time. Compare that to the County budget deficit ongoing, the Silver Spring Transit Center, the Purple Line, and the Council's NET LOSS record of private sector job creation since the year 2000. Utter humiliation, and it's clear why I would be a far more effective leader than those clowns. Baba Booey.

An armed man who assaulted a woman and tried to snatch her purse near Mazza Gallerie, who is still on the loose, is - duh! - a potential threat to residents of the village who use the same shops and restaurants as those on the DC side. How dense can you be?<br /><br />Everything is race, victimhood, racism to you. That's one of many reasons Trump won. Not only are people sick and tired of the divisive language, but white voters adopted the same sense of identity politics and belief they'd been wronged that Democrats have fomented amongst other racial groups since the 1960s. The chickens have truly come home to roost. <br /><br />I've been following Trump's career since the 80s. The guy doesn't have a racist or hateful bone in his body. He desegregated his golf course in Florida when he bought it, and he's helped a lot of people over the years that hasn't been covered by the press.
