The mayor and D.C. Council members go about their business within a well-guarded building and traverse the city in cars with official license plates that tell all comers who they are and why they should be left the hell alone. Do they know — do they care to know? — that Friday morning’s robbery spree comes with great costs? It’s more than a lost wallet, purse or coat.
Those street robberies in broad daylight strike a palpable fear.
It’s the kind of fear that makes a person — women and men of all ages — think twice before going out of the house.
Which is the safest bus stop? What’s the best time to go to the supermarket or use an ATM? Where should I fill my tank? What do I do if …? Where should I run if …?
What, oh what, can I say if …?
How I would love to see one of our progressive council members come before just one day’s victims and tell them that the young suspects who violently robbed them should, if caught, be handled with great care because research on the brain has shown that people under 25 lack a fully developed prefrontal cortex needed for impulse control and a mature understanding of the consequences of their actions. Or so say justice reform advocates who argue for keeping young robbers out of secure detention at all costs. That philosophy carries the day in today’s D.C. Council.
There is no relation between what’s being propounded in council chambers and what’s going down in the streets.
Better to pay attention to the D.C. police alerts than what the council has to say.
At least those alerts may help keep you alive.

What’s the push behind all this lenient legislation? What is the main reason? Is it to makes us more safe somehow? How does it make us more safe?

Well, it's obviously not making anyone safer. But safety is not the point. Super-woke council members like Charles Allen are basically about as pro-criminal and anti-middle class family as it gets. It gives them bragging rights when they go to their cocktail parties with other left-wing loonies.

Exactly, it’s pure self-promotion. It’s like the Chinese CP, you do things not for the people but so you stay in the warm embrace of the CP and maybe even advance your political career. For that, you have to spout a certain ideology.

Some on the Council are more demagogues by nature than others. But the incentives for all are clear: taxpayer gravy train, from salary to developer deals. And what’s the alternative: who of these people would be employable anywhere at a comparable salary with the exception of maybe Gray?!

Disband the Council.

Has anyone done a study of their (positive) impact?
