Charles Allen faces recall effort

I do not think Charles Allen is to entirely blame for the current issues. I think we are dealing with a confluence of issues, exacerbated by the pandemic and made harder to address by the movement to "defund the police," and while I think some of what Allen did with the crime bill contributed to making it worse, I don't think he's the source of the issues.

But I also think he is wholly unqualified to address the current issues and has shown time and again he will not rise to the occasion, so I support a recall because we need people who will meet the moment, before DC slides back into the situation it was in 20 years ago. We have made too much progress to just let it slip away.

I also want Bowser out and would like to see Nadeau and Mendo gone. But not replaced by people like Robert White or Erin Palmer, who ran against them in the last election. White and Palmer are a lot like Allen -- well meaning but unprepared and too afraid to do (or say) what needs to be done.

We need to stop trying to placate people by pretending all crime is just the result of poverty and racism. Did you know there are poor people and black people who don't commit violent crimes? In fact, they are much more likely to be the victim of crime. Why don't we care about them?

It terrifies me that you think this philosophy is problematic

It is high time for you to be terrified. It’s over. You overplayed your woke hand. You’ve turned the most well meaning people against you.

Bye, Charles. It was really bad knowing ya

Under woke pressure. Kathy Lanier was pretty effective (remember all hands on deck?) until the inevitable pushback against effective crime fighting.

Ironically, one of the biggest challenges to getting signatures is the fact that a lot of folks are unwilling to spend time outdoors unnecessarily out of fear of becoming a victim. I solute those brave sounds who will mill around at a metro station with a clipboard.

I am hoping they canvass door to door. We would sign, as would our neighbors on the Hill.

I'm the PP. Why?

I'm terrified of being carjacked with my young child in the backseat, because the idea of my child being harmed, or me being harmed in such away that I can't be with or protect my child, threatens the most fundamental relationship in my life.

But yes, do tell me how scary you think my "philosophy" that people are, on some level, individually culpable for committing crime is.

Because I work with this population and your desire to put them in a little carcerated corner and hope they don't exist is disgusting. These are people too and if you were born in their place you'd feel a lot differently.

To add on, before you "gotcha" me. People that commit crimes should be arrested and prosecuted. That shouldn't preclude us from spending money and allocating resources on supporting underprivileged communities.

That’s what we’re pleading to happen because it hasn’t been. This was a great city in the 2010s.

I agree! Been here since '02. Charles Allen isn't responsible for prosecutions or arrests so this whole thing is really irritating to me

Charles Allen also hasn’t done a damn thing to address crime. It’s like he doesn’t even understand there’s a problem.

You ever notice that the only people who support Allen publicly are extremely privileged, extremely mediocre white people?

[Anonymous]

It doesn’t matter if Chuck is responsible. He’s now become the symbol of the selfish arrogance and contempt of the DC authorities for its people. He must go.

His toppling will open up the floodgates and it will be much easier to get rid of Nadeau and the cronies.

We can’t stop there and must follow the money to stamp out the cottage industry of bogus consultants that grew around these grifters - from their own spouses and associates to the wrap around service providers run by convicted wife beaters.
