Same here. Zero hope for DC until they stop voting for more of the same.

Parroting Tucker's talking points incessantly is not advisable. Do you know, for instance, that the *current* law does not classify the incident as a carjacking? See here: https://www.fox5dc.com/news/dc-mayor-bowser-criticized-for-comments-after-doctor-struck-killed-by-his-stolen-vehicle. This is one of umpteen reasons why the code needed to be updated. Your opposition to getting these issues fixed - thereby making it is easier for prosecutors to secure convictions - is not making DC any safer.

Cna you show in the bill where it would have classified this as a carjacking?

But, my council member has no shame. Nadeau will not change or grow. She'll dig in deeper, even cynically, I think.

Why not vote in a no-nonsense ruthless activist who’s #1 focus is safety?

A Navy veteran was running who seemed to have some totally reasonable law and order focus (just righting the apple cart a little). But he was a Republican so , you know, he'd be bad for DC and no one voted for him. Well, I did.

Oh Sorry, he was a former merchant marine running for at-large. The other republican candidates seemed totally reasonable on crime as well.. I disagreed on one or two other issues, but voted them because...crime.

Sure. But it'd be even better if you found it yourself. You can do that here: https://revisedcode.org/

It's murder. We still prosecute that, right?

So you agree with lowering maximum penalties for carjackings?
