I think the students should try to “kill” the neighbors with kindness. I propose we all put large signs on our front lawns with red letters saying something to the effect of “THANK YOU for the nice welcome to the neighborhood”. Other tactics might include leaving a steaming pile of… cookies on their front steps. If we have to resort to straight up trespassing and vandalism, why not simply tack on a “PR” in front of the “OPPOSE GU’S CAMPUS PLAN” sign. They’d really hate that.

And maybe if you spent more time studying and less time partying, you’d be able to find a job after graduation.

Maybe if burleithers spent less time trolling student blogs and more time working, they could afford to move into West Georgetown.

Pls don’t burn those signs! They’re collectors’ items and will someday be worth millions online. Until then, I need them to decorate my on-campus apartment.

“Meant to incite fear”…

COME ON man how absurd is that, listen to yourself. As if some GU students are committing acts of terrorism because of some stupid housing zoning plan that won’t go into effect until long after they are gone. It was clearly either 1) the neighbor himself or 2) idiot drunken students who thought it would be funny. Taking this is some kind of sign of intimidation is representative of the kind of alarmism that has destroyed AMURKA
