Beware, a Butt-Grabber is Loose!

It turns out that the area surrounding my office is plagued by a butt-grabber. This article is awesome for the amazing array of descriptions the victims have given of the assailant. It makes it sound as though there is a veritable zombie army of butt-grabbers on the loose in Arlington, rising up to butt-grab until no butt is left ungrabbed. Over and over, this article mentions people being "groped from behind" and attacked, but the video linked from the article makes it a little clearer that someone is butt-grabbing and running.

Now, I don't want to be groped by a stranger (unless he's hot and...um, not actually a stranger) and I am sure that grabbing ass on random people at the metro is a "gateway" crime, but the hysterical tone in these news reports is a little overblown. I also think it's a little ridiculous to ONLY take cabs after 8pm (as Scaredy McFrightened claims to do in the video).

Welcome to the Neighborhood!

The Post did a great little video documenting a long-standing Halloween tradition in DuPont Circle (my hood). This takes place every year on the Tuesday before Halloween...and it's tons and tons of fun.
