In most big cities violent crime is declining. In Washington the opposite is true

In light of the recent attempt to elevate a completely unqualified murderer to the Sentencing Commission, this is a bit of a litmus test for the Council

Broad daylight crimes where there are witnesses nearby were not common in the 90s. Recently, beating, shooting or stabbing cooperative victims seems to be on the rise, a very troubling trend. Witnesses have even been shot at in broad daylight recently.

This afternoon in Columbia Heights...

A TBI can be life altering, for you or your kids or for victims of any age...likethis woman attacked outside the Cathedral Commons Giant who lost her ability to speak or walk...

That means it's time for MPD to start making arrests again. No more excuses.

If they try and a criminal is too strung out or stupid to drive a moped, they’ll be prosecuted for murder.

Stop it. Arrests by MPD have an extremely low, 0.02% chance of resulting in the arresting officer being prosecuted. What if the rest of us refused to do our jobs because there was a 0.02% chance of something going wrong? The whole world would come to a grinding halt.

How were these children out roaming around at that time of night? On a school night? Prosecute the parent(s) too!!

Wasn't there supposed to be a youth curfew? Yet another thing this city isn't bothering to enforce...

The Council votes on Pinto's bill on Tuesday, call or email and make your opinion heard, the activists have certainly done so, loudly.

https://dccouncil.gov/

Remember, you have SIX reps, your ward, the chair, Mendelson, and 4 At Large reps. Let all of them know your views. If in Ward 3, Frumin has been waffly, as he was re: her bill in June, please reach out.

After yesterday, no one can be in denial about the criminal coddling Council. The rest of us continue to pay the price, in lives, and in cash.

Any update on this? I'm concerned about all the changes? Any calls we need to make today??

The bill was watered down in some significant ways. The second vote has been delayed, possibly until March. Anyone know if there are any limits on what additional changes can be incorporated?

Pinto was loudly hecked from the audience at times by the "activist" crowd. It was a bit of a sh*tshow all around, with McDuffie and others offering amendments that they could not answer basic questions about. JLG was not present in person? And left early? Thought it would be her day to shine?
