All these ridiculous progressives on the DC Council have no idea what DC was like then but I remember. The area around the Verizon Center was a pedestrian mall filled with nothing but druggies, their dealers, and muggers. H Street and 14th Street were still largely boarded up from the 1967 riots. On Capitol Hill, it wasn't safe to go north of E Street or east of Lincoln Park. Forget about being safe in Shaw, or the Eckington/Union Market area. It took 20 years for Marion Barry to drive the city so far into dysfunction that it had to be taken over by a Control Board. So we probably have 15 more years of this to go, unfortunately.

Interesting that the car was parked and later cleaned in the mayor's neighborhood. It seems plausible that she knows the killers and is protecting them.

I wouldn't go that far. She's just a garden variety idiot who unfortunately happens to be our mayor and knows how to pit white and black voters against each other to stay in power. Only an absolute moron would say something like "One person didn't intend to kill him, but did and devastated a family." Just completely out of touch to the rising violent crime in DC.

Now however the city is a plurality white and well educated, yet we have these contemptible, dim-witted whites like mendo, pinto, nadonothing, Evans who have been inflicted with severe cases of wokeness that they were perfectly willing to defund the police when asked to do so by the criminals themselves. I don’t know who I’m angrier at, the single black moms who have kids but don’t raise them or the self-hating, cowardly white council members who can’t bring themselves to perform the most basic task of protecting the physical safety of their constituents.

This is so scarily accurate.

No, it isn't. Evans hasn't been on the council in years.

You can take issue with her response (I do!) but this is nuts.

Did they catch who did it? Follow up?
Yes, we need to start treating crimes that can kill people as less oops! And more the homicidal act they are. DC kids esp who are behind much of the crime wave (not all - MD kids as well as adults and quite a few psychotic homeless people) should be messaged by the politicians and the DA that if the gun in your hand goes off in the struggle (or in this case the car) they are 100 percent liable for the choice they made to put their victim of their joyride or petty robebry in harm's way.

I do not believe MPD has made any arrests in the case

It’s not just car jacking. It’s shooting from cars, too. https://www.nbcwashington.com/news/local/man-killed-another-shot-in-southeast-dc-apartment-complex/2998912/

Of course, the answer is more violence interruptors, which studies show don’t work, more lenient laws like the Youth Rehabilitation Act, and extending its reach to 26 years olds, more hand wringing and naval gazing about the root causes of poverty and endless discussion about inequity and imbalance in incarceration statistics, meanwhile the violence gets worse, families leave the city, because weak liberals won’t do a thing to counter it like make fking arrests.

This kind of sht is why you’ll lose in November. Obviously, those elections won’t do a thing for DC. It’ll probably get worse here for years until finally people have enough and say “maybe a super liberal city council and its novel criminal justice policies that seem to be quite loose and without consequence aren’t working. Maybe people who get punched in the face need more than restorative justice to feel whole.”

Ughhhh we pay too much in taxes to be this weak.

What I meant is on a national level, the normies will see what liberal city councils and their laws do for crime, and they may vote more conservatively. Meanwhile, DC will still keep its liberal law makers and probably vote even more in because this city went 97% for Hillary, which just shows how liberal it is and how much we can’t get anyone tough on crime.

It’s crazy how history repeats itself and yet people don’t learn. Remember the 90’s? Crack? Crime? Boarded up buildings? I do. It sucked. I’m sorry.

Also, I guarantee Reservation 13 will see the same stuff. You can’t have like 2/3rds super affordable or subsidized housing and concentrate poverty and not expect this type of stuff. It’s nuts. It’s like we’re supposed to be excited to grandfather in trouble. How’s it’s not evident is astonishing.

Yep. I think that the policies are completely misplaced. We should focus on reforming the incarceration system so that it provides the counseling, training, (and essentially re-parenting) services that the offenders need. And then they need to be put there---away from the law-abiding and non-violent citizens---until they have actually been rehabilitiated. Everyone criticizes the prison-industrial complex----and those criticisms have merit---but the solution is NOT to just let violent predators run loose in the city with no consequences. Instead reform the prison system. I would happily pay higher taxes for a juvenile detention system that intensely tried to counsel, train and rehabilitate. Isn't it Finland that has the prison system with the least recividism rates? Why can't we figure out what they do right and then replicate it? Because neither the progressives nor the current "lock 'em up" far right has the answers.

The “lock ‘em up far right”, as you put it, has a policy that at least works: incarcerated criminals are incapacitated while imprisoned and cannot commit further crime in the community. No one knows how to rehabilitate criminals; the open-the-jails progressive left merely ensures much more crime, and their statements demonstrate beyond doubt that they care far more about criminals than their victims. While there are no ideal choices here, lock ‘em up is the best of a bad set of options.

Finland is monoracial without the legacy of slavery we have here. We have this fked up legacy that happened to African Americans and to American Indians. Check out the crime rates on reservations. Tldr populations that have fked up histories have fked up presents.

The truth is we need to get tough on crime and arrest anyone committing crimes. We’ve had decades of programs and highest school spending in the nation and all this stuff. It’s impossible to just say “oh we need people to be raised right and value education and not commit crime”. It’s impossible for a nation to just take over peoples lives and force them to be productive citizens and not shoot other people. Honestly, we are fked with liberals in charge now, because we all know the future is going to be filled with excuse after excuse to just let criminals commit crime because of quoting disparate impact and the bar is only going to get lower without consequence. The city is already on the decline again. This time because everyone feels bad and just wants these weak policies that don’t have any effect. We are screwed. And for the next few decades we will have all these kids graduating from like super liberal criminal justice reform schools like John Jay where they’ll learn restorative justice and it will just snowball and yes jails will be emptier but more victims will be impacted. I guess we all have to learn the hard way now.

I agree with that. I also feel the same way about capitalism. It’s the least bad option. It allows for personal property and rights. If we can somehow persuade corporations not to hoard wealth and do things for the environment.

Anyway, yeah just lock people up. Seriously. This drive by shooting sht on 13th street is nuts. The city was getting better. I hate all these anti-gentrification people who are probably stoked the city is going tits up again.

Lock them up. Scare the other criminal kids. They're not scared now. But they should be.

It sounds like you are unfamiliar with criminal treatment of juveniles in DC.

DC takes a services approach to juveniles and applies the Youth Act up to age 25, soon to be age 26.

Next the age will be 35.
