| The US Attorney’s office prosecutes most crimes in DC. They can charge under DC law or bring federal charges as appropriate. They should nail some of these organized retail theft rings on RICO charges. Charge everyone from the kingpins down to the gang punks under the federal RICO act. It would be worth it to see some street punk’s reaction when he realizes the RICO jail time he faces. |
| We are making our plans to leave after 27 years in the District. Way too little, way too late. This city is unsafe, but worse, it has leadership that doesn't care. Everything is harder here. Everything is dingier, tired, corrupt. And I realize we're in our own. 911 is a joke, response times from emergency calls are terrible, traffic enforcement is now just camera tickets, so road rangers rage unencumbered. If you've ever watched DC fire show up at an emergency, it's shocking how slowly they move. And if there's something remotely happening crime-wise, suddenly every cop in a district or quadrant shows up, leaving every other neighborhood open to whatever. Last night there was some sort of arrest of one man at the Safeway at Petworth metro. There were 12 cop cars. This city is a joke. |
My spouse wants to stay, but I feel this way too. DC sucks. and Boo, statehood! --District born |
Are you blaming the Mayor because the painters can't spell? Clearly she meant Refund the police, but the literacy rates in DC schools are not goodly. |
I doubt she’s going to run again, at least not for mayor. |
| What a waste. |
I don't think it's a spelling issue. Rather, it's a lack of knowledge as to the meaning of the word "defund." |
And she’ll win the general election in a landslide- again- because the voters of this idiot city cannot bear to vote for anyone without a (D) behind their name on the ballot. Serves y’all right. |
| Where are Batman and Robin when you need them. Looks like daycare costs will go up as schools hire armed guards to protect teachers and kids while outside in DC. |
Everyone: PP is making a joke out of a violent assault on 2 daycare teachers who were beaten and bloodied in front of their toddler daycare class by a DC criminal who tried to rob the teachers: https://www.dcurbanmom.com/jforum/posts/list/1163630.page Bowser is not taking this seriously. |

Where are the chop shops? Are they in DC? Are they in SE?
Put more cops on the bridges, if so. |
Really, I take it as sarcasm that points out that the DC Government doesn't care and that every man, woman and child is on their own to find ways to protect themselves in DC. |
If the beating of a daycare teacher in front of toddlers had obstructed a bike lane, a couple politicians would maybe give half a sht, but you're correct that otherwise you're on your own. |
Petit Scholars is a private daycare program. It should be closed since it creates division in the community. Why are only some children worthy of safety? |
what kind of evil idiot are you? so I guess you're inferring that it's ok that two women were beaten and robbed with toddlers bearing witness because it was a private school? get the chip off your shoulder and make something of yourself |
