It sounds like you got the story already. Someone tried to commit suicide. What other details need completed, you wanna read his note or something?

My comment was more genuinely helpful than recommending some scam self defense class that's more likely to get the guy killed (in the event he even ever gets randomly attacked, which is so unlikely as to be effectively 0% probability in the first place).

Don't be oblivious to your surroundings and put yourself in a position to get mugged like walking around some dark isolated area wearing headphones.
If you think you're gonna fend off an attacker with martial arts from a self defense class you're a complete idiot. Taking up running as a hobby would be wiser.

Reply to Running after dark in NW DC by melancholyduckies
I run after dark in NW multiple times per week for the last 4 years. It's safe, never had any issues. Just stick to busier / better lit areas if you can. And be visible, getting hit by a car is a much bigger threat than getting attacked or something imo.
I mainly run down 16th st between silver spring and Dupont, which has plenty of street lights and usually some other people out. I also sometimes go down past the white house and around the mall / reflecting pool, which is obviously super safe. Guaranteed you'll see other runners down there.
I never run with headphones out of personal preference, but its certainly safer that way also. I also sometimes clip a small blinking light on my chest to make myself more visible to oncoming cars so they don't right turn into me as I'm crossing an intersection (I usually run on the left sidewalk against the flow of traffic).

Surprised this hasn't been said already, but the Anthem is an IMP venue, which is owned by Seth Hurwitz. I'll leave it to you to look into his history, but perhaps it's not so surprising that they aren't too interested in sexual misconduct allegations.

They will sell it to the cabal of lizard people living under the national mall who will use it to turn your friends and family gay, obviously.
