Assault at Montgomery Mall in Bethesda
Montgomery County police responded to a report of a 2nd-degree assault at Westfield Montgomery Mall in Bethesda on March 14, 2025. The incident was reported at 3:47 PM at the mall. This is the second assault at the mall so far this year. There were 11 in 2024, 5 in 2023, and 12 in 2022.
Boy, is that mall not the safe and family-friendly shopping experience of my youth. At this point, they should knock the entire place down and do a Pike and Rose type "town". Full-scale malls have been dying for awhile. This won't get better.
ReplyDeleteBethesda has become the second-degree assault capitol of the world. I'm afraid to go outside for fear of getting elbowed by a local Karen.
ReplyDeleteThe mall used to be a safe place 20-30 years ago, now it's filled with VIOLENT gangs of inner city kids and foreigners...
ReplyDeleteThat's a patently false lie, and racist as well.
DeleteI used to go and enjoy the DQ Banana Split. Now. I just dream about it.
DeleteHey I'll take a 2nd degree assault on someone I don't know versus at least 2 shooting homicides by a "teen" thug wearing a judge ordered ankle monitor! #MoCoWillSoonBecomeHoCo
ReplyDeleteOoohhh he calls someone pointing out facts a racist sorry but democrats overused the term ….fact illegals and inner city commit most crimes
ReplyDeleteWhen Bethesda was in the 1960s-1990 with no metro and no illegals it was 100% safe FACTS FACT
