This is so scary! Somehow I have a feeling this may not be Whites who are doing this. It could be some other race(s), I have been through Virginia, Maryland and Washington -- almost 90% of those I observed were some other race, not Whites.

See this image on racial composition in Ashburn, Virginia. Does it tell you something?

hi

due to a lot of IT companies...many indians are moving to virginia...a lot of new communities are coming up.....i had some friends

there....i know fairly well ...many parts of maryland/DC area are vulnerable....another reason....festival/holiday seasons are

coming up....so some kind of robberies are very common sometimes in the holiday season....

Namaste,

I am not able to derive at a conclusion of who might be culprit.. On contrary to my expectation, a decent 70% of the population seem to be Whites. So maybe they did this, who knows? One thing that is good is that, the American police officers and Law Enforcement are able to react fairly and control such crimes without bias which gives us a basic sense of security.
