What's your plan to address it?

Defund the police.
Prosecute cops till they all quit.
Flood the country with illegals.

Take your meds

You’re not wrong. Progressive criminal justice reform is so hot right now, even John Legend is a big proponent. So is Kim Kardashian. Never mind that it seems to exacerbate crime rates. Who knew that lowering penalties, lessening sentences and revising existing laws to be more permissive would lead to an environment where criminals felt more free to commit crimes?

This isn’t Fox News propaganda. I live in the middle of DC. Our city council won’t even take away drivers licenses from people with $13k in speeding tickets. Then those same people crash and…ugh all of you know exactly what I mean. Basically liberals think they can solve things with programs and wraparound services and addressing the root cause of crime in perpetuity and letting teens off with a slap on the wrist for assault and battery. It’s nuts. All of it.

The pandemic 8/9 year olds are having problems across the board. The kids stealing cars and getting shot are just the tip of the iceberg.

So many more children were shot in the 90s. Why are you complaining?

3 out of 4 city residents feel perfectly safe in their neighborhoods, according to the Washington Post.

A 10-year-old has died after the car she and her family were riding in was hit with 50 bullets in NE DC. They were heading home from a mother's day dinner. I have a 10-year-old and can't imagine the pain this family is experiencing.

25% of city residents feel unsafe in their neighborhoods? That's a lot!

But their feelings don't matter. Or do matter. I can't remember which it is today.

This is incompetency of policy makers and law enforcement but shouldn't parents have some accountability? If you want to have sex and not have abortion, you are signing up for parental duties.

I grew up in NE DC. Current Democrats have allowed it to become a war zone.

And then they'll come for you ... keep ignoring that your very support for this garbage will in fact impact your life in a negative way at some point. I don't wish this on you, it's just a fact. Society needs laws that have to be followed, otherwise we are not a civilization. It will affect you in a not great way.

Or have sex and not use birth control. Fixed that for you. There are other avenues.

Go back and look at that post poll. The 3 out of 4 include residents who feel "somewhat safe" in their neighborhoods.

But further, the poll shows that crime is the top concern among D.C. residents, and that the majority of D.C. residents said crime was a very or extremely serious problem.
