Why did you allow comments on this story on the main? Then drop it on a Friday evening and walk away? Knowing what trolls would do. Stuff like this would and should scare away many local businesses. You guys claimed to be doing better and you kinda were. Were, being the operative word there.
SAD!

Another day, more trash from the old local right wing propaganda source. The quote below is relative to the stumbling stones that have been being placed around to commemorate Arlington history. Thank JW Marriott for sponsoring fine commentary. Maybe some of the commenters live there!

Might be time to resume watch. Thanks for the tip @veritybusly.bsky.social!
If you find yourself thinking of disemboweling someone, reach out to the fine folks at Livesay & Myers and get their opinion, given they sponsor content like this.

Maybe the moderator got laid off or the AI is busted. In any case, enjoy this racist and xenophobic piece courtesy of The Kensington neighborhood fall festival (what, no trans hate?). Come on down and rake some leaves, have some cider, and burn some crosses.

Wake up, Arlington. A different view, likely well more inline with most Arlingtonians, was declined. But go ahead and make sure they succeed. The country is doing swimmingly after all...
I remember! I actually reached out to Brodbeck around that time and asked if he would accept an op-ed from someone with a different view on community safety (such as myself). He declined.

ArlNow, y’all…
a) recycling copaganda and;
b) platforming a forever candidate who averaged 22% in 8 elections over the past decade, in order to;
c) pass off a Scott Mccaffrey op-ed as “news”
ArlNow has a duty to its readers to report on reality. They fail often. Very often.

Seeing a headline like this in the NY Times makes one appreciate that ARLnow is no longer a daily source of trans hate. Keep it up!

Sadly, you just can't keep the xenophobes down in this county. Fortunately for them, ARLnow is at the ready to publish their thoughts in perpetuity and they have many advertisers willing to fund it - like Arrowine. Hate migrants and like booze? Arrowine is for you!

With the comments now reformed on Arlington, VA's right-wing blog, expect more of this kind of thing in the reporting. Seriously, is this the best photo you could muster or was it the tried and true choice to rile up the (R) base?

Without so much (R) hate, it's easier to spot useful comments like this one. Keep it up! We'll overlook this was in response to noise from a right-winger with a blackface avatar.
