Once upon a time Fairfax was a nice little suburban community with low crime and tolerable traffic. Back then, you could walk around your neighborhood and genuinely feel safe.
That was then, this is now.
Carnage and mayham are now the norm for the County. Although the crime rate remains low for a population center of 1.5 million, the things that are going on sound crazier and crazier. Here is a list of some of the crazy things going on around the County.
Murder In Franconia
The Washington Post reported on the brutal murder of a man in the Franconia District on Friday. According to the report, one of the tenants of a townhouse decided to bludgeon his landlord to death with some kind of blunt object. The murder then led to a manhunt that lasted for several hours.

Out of Control Driving
Earlier in the week, WTOP reported that a drunk driver crashed into the headquarters of the Fairfax City Police Department causing $10,000 in damage. All I can say is that this guy must have been pretty drunk to crash into a Police Station.
Attempted Abduction/Sexual Assault
Although it went un-reported in the press, a press release from the Police described a disturbing incident that occurred in Chantilly last week. According to the incident report, a young woman was assailed by a young man, who attempted to abduct and sexually assault her.
