City people... when is enough enough re: crime

[Anonymous]

And it continues today in leftist cities. No law and order. No punishment or consequences. No enforcement of the law.

Why would crime drop from 2017-2022 if BLM or lax prosecutors are to blame? Why us crime also higher today in conservative states and districts if this is a political problem?

BLM political agenda made it perfectly fine to loot, burn, and takeover stores, streets and parks in the name of BLM all the time. No one got arrested, only a few people who defended their property from loud, violent, disruptive activists.

Shocking the lack of law and order and arrests.

So then you’re just guessing? Where are your numbers?

Its so trite at how that is the fallback ":well it was worse then"- sure in the number of murders but also crime seemed to be a lot more contained in certain and even to certain blocks. I absolutely think crime is worse now, the skyrocketing of juvenile gun crimes, carjackings etc is insane. And no one does anything. Kids are free to rob the CVS blind daily and they know there will be no consequences, same for underage car jackings and gun crimes. this shit is everywhere now. I am going on 25 years now but looking to move out.

This is true. People keep saying “but the 90’s...”, yet in the 90’s you couldn’t just walk into a CVS, grab a bunch of stuff right in front of the store workers, and just walk out the door. You couldn’t just walk over the metro gate right in front of the station agent, or just openly use drugs in busy parts of the city with no worry about the police. Now people are just brazenly doing these things in the open with zero fear of any consequences. There’s just this pervasive atmosphere of lawlessness, where people don’t even bother trying to hid their crimes anymore because they know there’s absolutely no consequences.

And the only answer from the Council is to lower consequences. There’s probably only 2 of the 13 members at the moment that actually take crime seriously (Pinto and Gray), even though polls show it’s the top concern for D.C. residents.

You are lying. 14th street was an open air brothel for decades.

Personally I loved it when BLM chanters came into fine dining establishments with megaphones and yelled at patrons for 20 minutes and then leisurely walked out.

Such civil discourse, makes you really support those white kids and their blm cause.

Exactly. Where are the numbers of arrests when cities were torched across America by and in the name of BLM vandals?

Homicide Trend

2022 2021 2020 2019 2018 2017 2016 2015 2014 2013
203 226 198 166 160 116 135 162 105 104*

The population went up 100k people during that same period. Of course raw numbers would increase. It is also not a linear increase and not linked to any prosecutorial or political changes.

Why were all the food and retail stores boarded up and left for nothing in late spring 2020?

Because central business districts across the country lost a lot of business since the COVID caused increase in working from home.

You know why. We all do.

BLM and its trendy leftist city followers asked for Defund the Police and got just that.

Not boarded up to protect from arson and looting from BLM / George Floyd anarchy.

Don’t conflate.

The law was passed many years ago. D.C. simply copied California.

Making something a misdemeanor does not make it legal. The law is not the problem, the lack of enforcement is.

Enforcement? Are you joking?

You must be joking.

What are you on about? People steal, it's a misdemeanor. They could be arrested and charged with a misdemeanor. But they're not. That's called a lack of enforcement.

+1

Shine a light on the stats DMv, stop hiding them. Last 5 year trend is terrible.
Cars theft, break ins, stolen packages, looting of stores, smash & grabs, serious traffic violations, turning out incarcerated people, gang activity, etc

Nice trolling. Now post the stats for all of the categories that WENT DOWN. How can crime go down when the same prosecutors were in office? Why is crime up in conservative districts as well?

This is OP. What planet are you on that you think crime is going down?

That’s our resident leftist commenter who searched for cherry picked stats and can’t critically think. It’s easy to blow a Mack truck through their poorly written posts and cherry picking. Maybe they’re trying out chat gpt too.

Either way it’s like first grade debate club with that one. Easy to spot, easy to ignore. Wonder if they graduated high school or not. Or where? Yikes…

So all you have is a bunch of personal insults but no data. Hm.

We have all your nutjob irrelevant posts trying poorly to deflect from the actual points made.

We see through that. You can stop. If you have nothing to add but national data or a certain weapon data or XYZ year only data just stop and go retake a HS level statistics class

2022 data

Assault with a dangerous weapon: ⬇️ 17% decrease
Sex abuse: ⬇️ 13% decrease
Homicide: ⬇️ 10% decrease
Burglary: ⬇️ 10% decrease


How would you explain those huge declines in crime last year if the prosecutors and mayor and council were all were causing the increase n crime? Why would crime levels conservative districts be increasing at a similar rate as well?

If you can’t understand my basic premise or answer it directly then I would say it is you who should go back to HS.

You left a lot of data out. Carjackings are up 115% over this time last year. Violent crime is up overall

Then why is crime also up in conservative areas?

Conspicuous lack of any direct answer to this question! Better create a distraction! BLM! Leftists! Look over there!!
