Residents might want to attend the upcoming ANC public safety meeting to tell the most embarrassing commissioners in the city to get their heads out of their asses.

| This is actually the perfect moment for restorative justice. If I was the judge, I'd suggest a paid apprenticeship at a car mechanic where he'd learn to replace windows. It would end when he'd successfully replaced 50 of them. |
Never forget the Commissioners who called for a reduction in the police budget and to get rid of overtime. https://anc3c.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/ANC3C-Resolution-2021-012-in-Support-of-Proposals-by-DC-Police-Reform-Commission-Report-1.pdf |
That's not restorative justice. Restorative justice would let the citizens meet the hammer wielder and apologize for their extravagant wealth. |
Replacing windows is what restorative justice should be. But the apology and useless talk is what it often turns out to be. |
That's restitution, and already a part of law, not restorative. Restorative Justice is about social relationships, not paying debts. |
Was it actually a hammer? That's a lot of effort to smash a car window. Pressure point devices are way more efficient. |
| No, from video, small hand held device, not hammer. |
True justice will be when the judges's hammer comes down hard on the perpetrator with a harsh cumulative sentence based on 50-plus counts of burglary and vandalism. |
They should go all out to find these guys. It looked like two in the video and one has a very distinctive gait. The scooter was likely rented. What company was it - has district 2 spoken to looking into scooter rentals? There also HAS to be more video. If they came out on CT Ave, surely they passed some businesses. Is District 2 canvassing for this? Fingerprints? |
| I'm perplexed as to why car alarms did not sound. But yes, the Second District needs to find the perps and make sure they are prosecuted. |
Frumin has already promised to get them services. All good. |
Many judges at DC Sup Ct and DC Court of Appeals have never stepped away from their former public defender mindset. Comes down hard? You must be thinking of NoVA. |
If you read the thread you would know the answers to your questions are "no." USAO doesn't prosecute property crime anyway. Like Bowser said, "This isn't Maybury." You must be new here. The scooter was likely rented with a stolen card. Go back to your detective stories. |
