Was this around 8am on Stuart Ave? If so the man was seen, followed and his picture was posted on nextdoor. A later update said he was arrested.

Whoever witnessed it called 911 and followed the man to a nearby business and took his photo. Apparently the man is suffering some type of mental illness and is well known to police.

To what end? A citizens arrest of a suspected home invader? A lynch mob? 50 anonymous tips to the cops because a guy walking down one of 50 streets in the Museum District or Fan fit the description?

I’m not trying to be insensitive to the victim here, but shit like this is how Reddit ruins lives.

Whatever makes you feel better about the hypocrisy, I suppose. I don’t see why someone with legitimate curiosity and questions about our city (even if they are common) is “spam” but all the aforementioned memes that have been run into the ground and don’t spark any real conversation or debate is totally OK.

For the record, I’ve been out of the dating pool/bar scene for a while now, so I didn’t feel knowledgeable enough to answer OP’s questions. Just trying to make people feel welcome when a bunch of posters are being snarky for no good reason 🤷‍♂️

Eh you're probably right there. Still, I do think we need an interim rep until the election. Someone to bring our local concerns to the federal level.

I just hope what you say is true that an important enough issue will be picked up. Heck a nice rule would be any other Virginia rep can help you out until you have a rep again. I think most do out of kindness but still something on paper would be nice
