If that contributes to white flight, that’s also racist.

I can only assume you are being facetious. I’m not putting my kids’ health and safety for fear somebody call me racist.

NP and I completely agree with you. No way would I send my kids to DCPS schools that are not in Ward 3. Maybe Ok for grades K-3, but after that, we're out of there.

This x1,000,000
The culture of NO personal accountability leads to the perpetuation of multi-generational poverty every single bit as much as systemic racism. Both can be true at the same time. But DC politicians are only willing to talk about the latter and not the former.

+1.

When is Muriel going to speak the entire truth: As long as young black men are being raised in fatherless homes, with 15 - 18 year old uneducated mothers who may have multiple children with other men, and in homes in which substance abuse is rampant, these kids don't have a chance. Their lives are not valued except as a source of increased government benefits. No "programs" are going to fix that. The fact that they have such easy access to guns is a failure on society, I agree, but without value of life and education in the heart of the community, guns are only part of the problem.

Agree with this PP ^^^
This is never addressed. Why not?

Because it requires "judging" another "culture" and other people's sets of values. Well, guess what. Some values are right and some are wrong. Exhibit A on Display.

I see strong parallels between gentrifiers and climate change deniers. You think that you can muscle through any ill effects of your actions. Turns out- you are both wrong.
So keep pricing people out of the city… and see how that plays out for you.

It’s not so much the gentrification. It’s the fact that the gentrifiers mostly refuse to send their kids to the neighborhood schools which would have the biggest impact on improving AA test scores, outcomes, etc. Instead they flee for charters or privates and walk by the BLM signs on their stoops every day. They are guilty of the worst form of systematic racism, but they are totally clueless about it.

Honest question- do you work in DCPS? I do. Yes it’d be great for more kids to attend Dcps. However this past year had (hopefully) taught us that public schools CANnOT be the workshops for fixing everything society cannot. Does public education play a large role- you bet! Is it a cure for wealth and racism inequality, not in and of itself.

I don’t work in DCPS. I just have a lot of friends who are are raising families in Logan. They tell me how much they “love” their neighborhoods and raising their kids “in the city”. But not one of them send their kids to DCPS. They are total hypocrites and they love to make fun of the Ward 3 parents at every turn. They are the worst kind of racists.

So you have kids and are sending them to the (non-Ward 3) neighborhood school? Are they in middle or high school yet?

I grew up in NW DC west of the park in the 80s and 90s. Back then people in Capitol Hill often had this attitude. They sent their kids to private schools but then bragged they were raising their kids in the city. Meanwhile I went to public schools with kids from all over the city, but yeah, I was the elitist one for living west of the park....

Such hypocrites.

DC Chief of Police just had a series of pressers at the scene of the shooting.
Another thing he brought up that is NOT talked about in DC or other major cities where homicide rates have risen considerably.......

These criminals are arrested and back on the streets in days, if not hours. These are the people committing the crimes. I guarantee you that when they find the shooters from last night, they will have a rap sheet a mile long. Because this is almost always the story.

Enough with "criminal justice reform" that puts these guys back on the street time and time again. Lock them up and keep them there.

Aaaaaaaaand this thread will get deleted like all the others because it’s an unpalatable, but necessary topic, just like in real life where no one seems to be able to discuss it without racism accusation thrown around, annnnnd people will just shake their heads and move to the suburbs, money will continue to fall like rain on public school and programs, but nothing will strategically address these core issues and the world will keep on turning. It’s the American way.

Anyone aware of any studies on how much neglect/abuse/or other it takes to make someone unhinged enough to engage in the behavior involved? Ending racism is huge but so is ending the practices that create sociopaths. We need to approach this from many directions. These kids are not born like this, they are made. What is in the making? We need to know to be able to address the issues, regardless of how it might be unsettling.

Because schools CANNOT fix society's problems. You want the schools to be childcare, holding pens for kids who would otherwise be carjacking, combat teen pregnancy, address learning loss, feed kids 3 meals a day, keep kids 11 hours a day etc.

Schools cannot fix it because we were never supposed to.

Everything is cyclical. In 5 years, when it’s shown restorative justice and letting teens off with a slap on the wrist for violence isn’t really an effective means of justice we’ll see another crack down. It’s all so intractable. It’s been the same story for recorded history. People always have to learn the hard way.

The Republicans have to move on the gun debate. But at the end of the day, the most important factor by far in explaining disparities in all manner of life outcomes (poverty, unemployment, crime, education) is whether you were born out-of-wedlock. And we all know the statistics are not pretty. Until the Democrats are willing to have a conversation about this, the gunfire will continue.

Democrats are already pro-choice and in favor of policies that increase education, jobs, and alleviate poverty. So, what's your point? That they should be in favor of forced-marriage and polygamy?

I'm sincerely not following exactly what you think Democrats haven't done on these issues.

It’s more that on the road to equity, which is paved with good intentions, democrats blame the guns first. They are which a huge part of the problem, but democrats also casually gloss over the 80% out of birth rate and single parent households, and rise in teens causing crimes, and basically ignore the lack of accountability from the actual perpetrator of a crime. Democracts are basically 100% equity focused and if that means that wealthy tax payers have to put with rising crime to achieve better disparate impact statistics regarding crime, than so be it. It’s this “I know crime is rising and your city might lose its tax base to tax payers fleeing to the safe suburbs, but you can’t make an equity omelette without cracking some eggs. And those eggs are everyone else.”

I hope democrats lose the mid terms because of this, and I hate this word, but this woke attitude toward crime. I also hope Charles Allen and the other Uber liberal idiots on the city council lose on the local level, but I won’t hold my breath. There are too many self flagellating city dwellers who will allow themselves to be crime victims before they actually get serious about policing. They won’t complain. I’ve lived here my whole life, so I know this town is way liberal.

How about we start with gun control and go from there John Wayne

Don't we have gun control in Chicago? How's that working for ya?

The problem is intractable because gun control will never happen to the point where we could actually remove enough guns (or even the types of guns like handguns and ar-15s) off the streets for any meaningful statistical drop in gun violence.

Additionally, no sane politician will point directly to any community that has outsized levels of criminality in proportion to its size and try to implement actual policing.

So there you go folks. You kind of just wait for gentrification to help lower crime and then along the way people complain or push for subsidized housing and all that but the hope is that developers win and crime goes down with their work before rich people flee.

Could you please explain how a AR-15 materially differs from other rifles, say the M1 Garand?

If that’s too hard, suppose you clarify what the “AR” stands for?

Inanimate objects don’t commit crimes. Criminals who misuse objects commit crimes. They use cars too. Should we ban all old model Honda’s because they’re easy to steal?

Listen gun-humper, I don’t know anything about them, I just know we need to take them away. All of them. I don’t know or care about the minutiae of which model or whatever, they all need to go. From your cold, dead hands if necessary.

Your dad is not around. Your peers are out of schooling smoking weed and filming instragram videos of themselves wilding out. Your mom is working and can’t watch you. You’re poor. Take your pick these all contribute. You need two parents who care.

Common sense dictates it stands for “Assault Rifle”.

A R

Assault

Rifle

Where else do you think the term came from, dummy?


But I will admit I have no idea what the number 15 means, I’m guessing they have to do with the power level of the bullets, or like how many fit inside the clipazine. Honestly, I don’t really care what it stands for I’m not a killer.

Haha, you can't be serious. AR does not stand for assault rifle. Yet I'm sure you have very strong opinions on what should happen to firearms.

You look like a friend on the outside, it you’re racist to your core. The fact that it wouldn’t trouble you to be called one proves so.
