As between the federal prosecutors and the elected attorney general and elected city council, it seems to me that it's the elected officials who are pro-crime.

The voters in this city are simply uninterested in getting tough on crime. The advocacy and political influence on behalf of criminals far outweighs that on behalf of victims.

That comes perilously close to blaming the victim. I can't believe that there are so many apologists for violent crime here.

You can always move

Are you so out of touch with reality? Violent crime, in the last couple years, has increased through out the country, not just the DC area.

Hmmm, why would that be....why, why, why.....

As has been oft' pointed out, in Iowa the politicians pander to the farm bloc. DC politicians pander to the cell block.

It's NOT the Ferguson effect, as the White House and the NYT tell us every time the FBI dares to point out the obvious.

Must be the drought in California. Or the Zika virus.

Are video games still a potential suspect for increasing violence or have we moved past that already?

There's an old saying: If you don't do the crime, you won't do the time.

Except when you're wrongfully arrested and convicted with fabricated evidence or shot in the back.
