Carjackings out of control in DC

[Anonymous]

I did wonder how a BLM/Defund the Police activist acquaintance felt when his car was jacked right under his nose. He seemed a little less woke then.

Check your privilege. Be thankful you have a car to be stolen. Many do not.

If you read the Post article the police think the rate is up because there are more delivery people and they leave their vehilces running while they make deliveries, which (despite the notable streamed carjacking that leads off the story) would not be what most people consider a carjacking.

What do these people do? Cheer and celebrate as they are being carjacked and calling 1-800-SOCIALWKR instead of 911??

LOL, another poster's response was perfect: This sub anytime anyone mentions crime: "Look it's way down compared to the 90s. If you were a DC native, not a gentrifier, and a real city folk you'd realize having your car stolen is just part of living in the city. Smh. Just take your airpods out and you won't have your car stolen. I live in the ghetto and have never even seen a crime occur walking home at 3am alone all the time btw."

Seriously, though, why do we put up with this BS as DC residents?!

You forgot, "enjoy Applebees!"

Serious question: when people talk about social programs, do you really only think of dispatching social workers to a crime scene like Fire/EMS?

Carjackings up over 100%! And the problem is so bad in DC that even the fbi now has to get involved apparently.

Good thing DC has a plan to reduce sentences for criminals who committed violent crimes. Criminals now have free rein over DC because of ridiculously light sentencing due to so called progressive reform in the system. The progress that'll be made at this rate is getting people to flee the city as more and more businesses keep going under and crime is exploding out of control.

Carjacking and armed carjacking have the longest mandatory minimum sentences of any violent crime in DC. If anything, this shows that harsh sentences are not effective deterrent.

Really? Because both would be off of the streets. Sounds like a win/win to me.

And I'm guessing the police are pretty bad at solving these crimes.

So why are the crime rates so high?

Ahhhh, so it’s a privilege to be carjacked. Got it.

So.... how do you feel about rape? Because afterall, it’s a privilege to have a vagina. Many do not.
