Ward 3 Crime Meeting w/CM Frumin, USAO Graves and AG Schwab 1/17 6pm Cleveland Park library

[Anonymous]

Is it true that SAKS FH got hit up for purses yesterday?

He talks a big game about public safety, but then always gives a wink to the DSA crowd with some throwaway line about root causes and ending youth trauma. We are less safe with him on the Council. In his 12 page, 3000+ plus word FY2024 budget request letter he uses the word “crime”, wait for it…… exactly zero times. Yet somehow it’s his #1 priority?

Yeah, I felt really annoyed when he went on that tangent last night. It's like, you just are not reading the room.

USAO Graves, thank you for your presentation last night, but Ward 3 does not care that you took 3,000 illegal guns off the streets last year and cracked down on large magazines. There are no gun fights in Ward 3.

What we fear here are robberies. Guns are used as a deadly threat to commit a robbery. You have proven that confiscating illegal guns does not stop robberies, so find another approach. You explained that confiscated guns are replaced within a few days. Find another solution.

Stop the armed robberies in our neighborhoods. Stop the car jackings in Ward 3.

I thought the presentation and dialogue last night was productive. There is really only so much a councilmember can do.

Yes, fund more police, yes, make sure laws are on the books, but it is up to the mayor and MPD to enforce the laws and execute crime mitigation programs.

And yes, attacking the root causes of crime - poverty, lack of education etc is critically important as well. We need to address the current issues while also being foundational for the future.

Our city council members, especially the ones up for reelection this year, are all about blaming someone else for the mess they created...

There’s only so much a councilmember can do, but one thing a councilmember can do is not consistently work to make crime in their own Ward worse like Frumin has with a vengeance.

Oh cmon, he's been in for a year. He's not responsible for crime being worse in ward 3. JFC.

But.. but.. but the populous likes it so much more when politicians ignore long-term, systemic things and instead myopically focus only on the immediate issues present right now!

Oh cmon, he's been in for a year. He's not responsible for crime being worse in ward 3. JFC.

1. He voted to reduce the penalty for car jackings.
2. He voted to decriminalize illegal street vending.
3. He refuses to ask for a moratorium on new housing vouchers until the city can show it has adequate wrap around services.
4. He opposed police requests to abandon the Connecticut Ave project because it will increase police/EMS response time.

That’s his record. He’s done all these things in just one year. It’s stunning.

Just because you are a low information voter doesn’t mean we all are. I came to list the carjacking bill he voted against and his enthusiastic support for the voucher program, but someone has already compiled an even more comprehensive list.

#1 never got enacted and even if it did, it was right-sizing sentencing and the problem isn't the sentencing in the first place, its the capture by police and prosecution of these people
#2 that was mostly for food/craft vendors to stop people from harassing them. Not people selling stolen goods. People selling stolen goods is still a freaking crime.
#3 *most people* who are using housing vouchers are NOT criminals. Just because some are doesn't mean we should F-over others who are in dire need of these services.
#4 LOL.

Just because you're an overly sensitive snowflake doesn't mean I need to believe your doom and gloom.
