Yeah, you’re out of the loop. The Baltimore mayor said protesters should “have room to destroy” and provided a pretty milquetoast police response to the violent protests. Let me guess, you’re the same person who is very apathetic about CVS’ closing from looting because “they have insurance!”, right? Sadly, your ilk is driven the policy these days. I know it “feels good” to waste money on violence interruptors that don’t interrupt violence or have USAOs who decline to prosecute 67% of cases (granted we had no crime lab for like 2 years), but the rest of us who choose to live in the city actually have to worry about our cars getting car jacked while our kids are in them. Basically we get to live on planet earth and you get to show off your yard signs in Alexandria and feel virtuous. |
"Room to destroy" was a direct reference to the comment Baltimore's mayor made during a riot. Fact. |
My husband explained to me how the secret service 'solved' the carjacking of the officers protecting Naomi Biden in Georgetown. They did it by assessing every vehicle that had entered Georgetown, and then eliminating suspects one by one. Carjacking CAN be solved. The police could pull all the footage and do detective work. Where there's a will, there's a way. I'm guessing nothing came of OP's friend's carjacking, just like my friend's was never 'solved' despite the jackers using the car in a multi-hit crime spree through the city. |
I read the man and woman were in the hallway at 5:45am. So, how did they get access into the building? Is there an issue with the outside doors or front desk? Is there something illicit going on in the senior housing? Odd time for folks to drop by...When LE tried to get them to leave the man shot him. Thank goodness he was wearing a vest and will be ok. |
No offense, but this makes no sense at all. Assuming that somehow the secret service had such a high level of video that they could identify every car that entered Georgetown, how in the world would they know who was in each car? Not to mention the fact that a person who carjacks may arrive in the area in a way other than driving a car tied to themselves. Certainly there is no way that the police can successfully prosecute someone by saying that we saw that your car entered Georgetown and we think you did it? Did they get someone and then do an eyewitness ID, assuming that the carjacker did not wear a mask? Finally, as I am sure you realize, this is a completely unworkable approach for an entire city given the number of cars that could be entering the area where each carjacking occurred and how much manpower it would take. Maybe if the police did absolutely nothing else 24/7? |
Hugs, not jails. |
| Pardon the double post, but this made me look at the coverage of the Naomi Biden secret service issue and it indicates that it took from November until February for an arrest to be made; it was a break in to the Secret Service car when it was unoccupied; the Secret Service saw the get away car; and ultimately the charges related to the unauthorized use of the get away car. Nothing about looking at every car that was in Georgetown or anything like that. https://nypost.com/2024/02/21/us-news/2-arrested-in-break-in-of-secret-service-vehicle-outside-naomi-bidens-dc-home/ |
Was this too many words for you to digest at one time? Because the PP's point was entirely clear. Maybe you need a TikTok to explain things, would that help? |
That last bit is wild. Someone posted in another thread that CM Allen (I think?) supported legislation to keep Nazis from being in MPD and someone else considered that to be a bad thing. Like, Nazis shouldn’t have jobs, period. |
|
Or maybe they are the meek who shall inherit the Earth? |
Riiightt. Ok. “Everything is fine in DC. It’s all just hysteria. Imaginary figures in your head. Charles Allen and his 2018 re-write are completely blameless.” Does that effectively sum up your view? Just keep playing that fiddle. |
| What is the response the not law and order types, presumably Jeff included, want? I’m seriously confused about this distinction he’s making. |
As I wrote above, I was happy with the response. No one was injured (other than the original victim of course) and the suspect was taken into custody. I'm perfectly happy with the outcome. I just don't understand all the complaints from the law and order posters. You would ask them why they are so upset. |
Again, you are arguing with a straw man that is a figment of your imagination. Whey do you struggle with reality so much? I have never said anything that you are claiming. Can you explain why a massive police response with a suspect arrested and no further injuries has you so upset? What is it that has sent you over edge today? |
