We need massively stepped up criminal enforcement and convictions in DC

The only people who believes there is so-called crime crisis in DC are MAGAs.

The status quo/current approach has resulted in this

unless you are a racist or eugenicist, "more of the same" should not be an acceptable plan.

All those who try to deny and minimize genuine safety issues have blood on their hands for delaying an effective response in DC, as Baltimore had done. For 2023, Baltimore had a lower homicide rate than DC, DC is an outlier. One of the things that insulates that status quo are people like the poster above.

My God this is so tragic. What a beautiful young woman. So senseless and shameful.

Look what the COA, again out of step with most jurisdictions and SC precedent, has been up to lately. COA judges are federally appointed.

This is Judge Easterly (appointed by Obama) and Judge Deahl (appointed by Trump) up to their shenanigans again in another split decision

They are the ones who said MPD basically can’t stop anyone they suspect of carrying an illegal firearm. This decision has led to the huge spike in gun crimes in DC.

It won’t do anything. Most of the recent issues stem from USAO declining to prosecute and federal judges letting arrested criminals run free + hamstringing the police/prosecutors.

If there are serial repeat offenders that the USAO won't prosecute and which federal judges keep letting go, watch them like a hawk and the second they commit another crime keep throwing them back in front of the USAO and the judges - and PUBLICIZE IT until it gets to be such an embarrassment to the USAO and the judges that they either start solving the issue or resign. I think one of other biggest issues is that MPD gets paralyzed with the idea of "why bother, USAO won't prosecute" and thus don't arrest - instead, make the arrest and make it completely the USAO's fault and shame the USAO for it.

Why isn't our council leading protests? We are dying. Shouldn't they also shine a shame light on this? Or are they agreeable to the low prosecution rate?

MAGAs must be everywhere in the city then. The question is why are they dumb enough to keep voting for the same local politicos?

Ah wait, I forgot they are dumb.

Excuse me?

What solid, sane candidates did we have running who made a pledge to improve criminal enforcement?

In the 15 years I've been living in DC, must have missed it.

Our councilmembers are elected to represent us. They should be relentless about pushing got this to change, not just wash their hands and say “not my fault.”

Just under 1,000 carjackings and this absolutely shocking number of auto thefts for 2023. What will happen to car insurance rates?

The data by year certainly seems to link back to legislative and policy changes by the DC Council.
