Has Au/tenley town gotten seedier? Lots of homeless and random people

14 people shot in DC over the holiday. And CM Frumin tweets yesterday about . . . . his resolution to create a commission for the America250 Commission.

I just can’t watch anymore. We deserve all of this.

Wasn't just DC. There were shootings all over the country, in red and blue states/cities alike. We have serious issues with gun violence in this whole damn country. But its okay, we'll just all pretend it can't happen to us and go back to our daily lives like nothing happened. #2ndAmendmentForLife /s

CM Frumin’s press team is up early today. Deflect, deflect, deflect.

PP here. I'm not part of DC government. Mr. head-in-the-sand-ostrich.

It is much worse in cities where a spirit of lawlessness pervades that was not here 4-5 years ago.

A business on my block had its windows smashed in this week. That would have been shocking when I moved to this neighborhood but now it’s “what do you expect? This is DC and those kids will never be punished so why wouldn’t they?”

Maybe Goulet would have been better?

Nobody wanted to vote for Monash or Goulet. That was a mistake. DC needs Republicans on the council to counterbalance things.

Oh yeah, republicans will save us by changing our schools to all charter programs, defunding the regular ones, and getting rid of housing vouchers. Jesus.

The housing vouchers are a not-insignificant part of the current problem.

Arguably charters are better choices than the dumps that are DCPS - and yes, that includes the Ward 3 schools. Wilson kids are a big part of the problem in Tenlytown - and no, not all of them. But anyone working in a store or business there will tell you the same story.

Could charters be any worse than the current DCPS schools? Seriously?

This country has been flooded with over 200,000,000 new guns in the last 20 years. This is what happens when you flood a country with guns - you get more gun crime and gun incidents.

It’s cheap, easy, and quick for a hot-head teenager to get his hands on a gun. It shouldn’t be easy for that to happen.

No. This is what happens when the fatherlessness rate reaches 80%. The causal relationship is profound between fatherlessness, murders, shootings, violence, poverty, lack of upper-mobility, school miseries for teachers and students, drug use and sales, and general quality of life. We all pay the price. But let’s just keep focussing on the guns, instead.
