I have been watching the crime rate rise n the Dale City area. IT's so heart breaking. This area started off with so much promise. I moved here in 1969. I remember our first Christmas in our new house. People came around our block singing Christmas caroles under our side walk light as me and my young wife fondely looked on. It took a while but slowly crime found it's way to our area.Now people are afraid to walk around in day light much less in the dark..I hear people say we need more laws. Well rape murder and robbery we have laws already on the books as well as all other crimes. They just dont seem to help now days. Where do we go from here???
