No.

And how do you expect restaurants to magically afford security, anyway? lol

How could they afford it with half the guests they are used to serving?

Think in terms of which neighborhoods are more likely to be somewhat isolated from these Terrorists. Perhaps Georgetown, Chevy Chase or even the Naval Yard.

I have no doubt you will be able to treat your Mother to a quiet and Safe lunch if you really think about it.
I personally am not worried about indoor dining, but that depends on your area. When dining indoors - I go early, about 11:30 .... rare to see many diners then. Something to consider.

Of course, your idea about driving outside of the D.C. area has merit also, with the bonus of a nice drive out of the City. Best advise is to do this soon ... Antifa Marxists are doing a call to arms in Washington to begin on September 17 for 50 days.
It is possible that Adbusters are a part of antifa.
If anything it is foreign election interference, since Adbusters is a far-left Canadian group and these 'Occupy fillintheblank' movements are created and promoted by Adbusters.

magically no, but good point. Time to lift all local restrictions and let them earn to their best abilities. Security is just part of the overhead like rent and utilities.

Yes. Its time to step up security of businesses. Enough is enough of this fake protesting bull crap.

Once an armed guard has to hurt some bozo there will be lawsuits and thousand in court costs. Or even prison time. If cops get prosecuted for taking down criminals what do you think will happen to a restaurant worker? They will just close and move to a civilized area. Just like all other downtown businesses. The riots of the 60's resulted in white flight and even more poverty.

So.. you want to purposefully increase the number of cases and have restaurants go into further debt?

I think enough restaurants have closed as it is without poor solutions such as those.

MOST of these Cities are not only attempting to defund Police (so none of us are safe), but the City Leadership won’t allow Police to intervene and they immediately turn these Terrorists free IF they even bother to arrest them. Mayors and Leftist D.A.’s Control all of this.

If it wasn't for Ed Gein, you wouldn't have all your favorite horror flicks. Psycho, Silence of the Lambs, Texas Chainsaw Massacre. You wouldn't want that would you?
