Put the fear of god in them, this is not a make believe fantasy or a video game, this is real life people . God forbid if a 15 yr old murders a member of my family, then I have no interest in their background/adversity blah blah blah. I want him jailed for life or hung.

Same goes for carjackings, 6 yrs minimum, no questions asked. There are no adults in DC, only a bunch of pansies running the show. Make an example out of the criminals and the rest will fall in line.

True. But what Democrat wants to hold criminals accountable?


None. That would be racist.

PG County manages to do it without being racist so try again .

People! There is a simple, equitable solution here:



Bulletproof glass between the retailer and the “customer.”

You pay first, then tell the retailer what you want, and your order is passed through a bulletproof turnstyle.

It works in other crime-ridden cities. Why not D.C.?

You realize we just started getting rid of these maybe 20 years ago?

Time to bring them back, obviously.

Baby steps toward restoring order. A safer more orderly transit system would make RTO more appealing. Per the GM of WMATA, almost all criminals arrested in the system fare evaded. In VA, fare enforcement often turns up weapons, outstanding warrants, etc., it has not been decriminalized there.

That DC decriminalized and made civil enforcement not workable has resulted in a lot more violent crime and criminal behavior on WMATA trains and buses and in station, including smoking drugs on the trains. Glad to see Pinto taking steps to restore a bit of common sense and order.

Maintaining basic public order and safety is a primary function of government. Further sign of societal breakdown...

Simple 3 step solution:

1. arrest criminals
2. bring criminals to trial
3. prison time appropriate to crime

Problem is:

1. police are underfunded
2. prosecutors won’t bring cases to trial (biggest issue)

PG County does not have a bunch of white saviors making policy and enforcing the law.

All the crime problems will disappear if we just fully defund the police, don’t you agree?

This is very true.

A symptom of DCs problem is that the city believes all of its problems are extrinsic. Mayor Bowser likes to do her part by casting blame on Maryland and particularly PG County for DCs crime problems. But the facts don’t lie. DC has had over 220 homicides this year while PG County, with 50% more population, has had about 60.

3. DC Superior Court judges are even more lax than USAO and AG

4. DC Council has re-written laws to weaken penalties and to favor early release, even for rape and murder, if crime committed while less 26.

It would be equitable if fines for moving violations were enforced throughout the DMV, maybe she could start there? It is unfathomable that she has not, in fact. Would boost revenue and public safety.

You can blame Maryland and Virginia for that.
