Do you not realize that there are multiple posters on this thread? Did you miss the DP in front of my first post? But thanks for calling me racist, even though you know nothing about me. (Some of you guys really need to start rationing your non-stop use of that word!) |
NP: don't worry, those folks and that word have lost all credibility by now. Let them vent a bit here on dcum, so that their little brains don't explode in real life. |

Not the PP, but under the law being questions here you are treated as a youth in dc and granted leniency and multiple chances until age 22. We are the only city in the country this extreme. Have you read the post articles? The links are in this thread. |
If I'm not mistaken the two oldest attackers being discussed are from PG County. The youngest, who was 18, cooperated with police and prosecutors and testified against the other two. This doesn't bode well in prison, not that I'm particularly sympathetic. Regardless, the police and AUSA considered his account, in which he merely shoved the victim, as credible (as did the jury). |
| That was a heinous crime. It is not one covered in the Post expose. Please read those as they show the revictimization of our city under the youth act. |

By when will gentrification save us from the corrupt crazies holding power for decades in DC? |
| Last I checked corrupt crazies aren't limited to any specific age, race, gender, or party affiliation...its pretty much a collection of whoever is in office so gentrification ain't gonna save shit. Haven't you heard - life is suffering. |
I'm generally familiar with the circumstances of the HillEast case and the federal and local agencies that drooped the ball at every opportunity. It's a well-meaning but bad law being misapplied by overworked federal prosecutors and judges, none of whom are answerable to DC residents. Mendelson isn't interested in holding criminals accountable, McDuffie is in over his head and the rest of the Council are virtually useless. . |
Which corrupt crazies are you referring to? Serious question. Your notions of DC are antiquated and yet we still get stuck with the likes of Allen, Grosso, Cheh and Silverman. |
A monopoly of power leads to a culture of corruption, and that's exactly what we have. Gentrification can challenge that monopoly of power. |
Yeah okay. In actuality it just changes the complexion of the crazies in office but you stay convinced otherwise
|
You apparenty don't understand how multi-party elections work. Are you Cuban by any chance? |
| PP apparently thinks gentrification = conservative takeover. You do know that it ain't just people of color who are Democrats don't you? Dumb ass. |
Or perhaps Republicans can support policies that appeal to and benefit a greater number of voters in DC? Democracy and all that stuff. |
