The DC crime story I actually want

There is also a Post reporter named Robert Samuels who is incredible -- he won a Pulitzer for his book about George Floyd, and he typically writes national interest stories, but he lives in DC and wrote something recently connecting school truancy and crime.

He might be up for it and he's a truly excellent reporter.

How many is "a lot of" two kids?

Instead of the National Guard stunt, I would much prefer the feds to take administration of the juvenile justice system away from DC. I don't know that they would be a lot better, since what we need most is incarceration of violent juveniles in facilities where there is actual rehabilitation being mandated and milestones which have to be achieved in order to be released. And that would cost a lot of money to create. But what DC has been doing definitely does NOT work.

This is why the story would be valuable. Np.

I really, really want to read interviews and reporting with these kids and the people around them. I wish the Post or someone could make that happen.

Incarceration? You must be new around here.

+1. As for "how did it affect them," I'm sure the little sociopaths never gave it a second thought.

What do you think should be the correct punishment for these kids? Obviously there should be some punishment or consequences, but what should it look like?

What's up with the white trash that lives on Brown St. NW. They are getting in the way with DC police trying to do their job arresting a drug dealer. Are they protecting the drug dealer. Yelling and screaming at the police.
