I'm very disappointed about how this site (or a few individuals only concerned with advancing their own agendas) has decided to address legitimate issues of safety, previously raised by this poster, involving the area chosen for the so-called "TDIFEST".
Nonetheless, other posters have already confirmed, and have corroborated the concerns already expressed, about the area's safety, and that only reaffirms the legitimacy of my previously deleted posts.
Shame on those who try to cover up, with a wide brush, those facts surrounding the area concerning safety, and chosen for the so-called "TDIFEST".
Just consider the recent news report below, of a postal worker being stabbed while delivering mail in DC, and only barely 20 miles from the selected site for the "TDIFEST". The attack occuring just several days ago.
There is no doubt a crime wave permiates the area.
I suppose that the conscience of a few, here, allows it to permit others to place themselves, includng children, in an unsuspecting and unnecessary peril, when life or death may just be a long knive away, or from a sniper hiding in some trunk of a car, or on top of some cherry tree.
