Which of the jokers running against Bowser in the Democratic primary would have a better response to crime? Answer: none. They are all commited to policies that make it worse.

We have the power to put one or two fewer far left wing progressives on the Council. And, maybe a few less radical ANC commissioners. It’s not much, but it’s a start. At least it will allow for some actual debate.

So who among the candidates running for at-large seats are more centrist? And who among the newcomers has a shot a winning one of the seats?

Poor black and brown voters suffer at the hands of good intentioned policies that reward criminal behavior. You can be fore police accountability AND want to enforce the law and have safe neighborhoods.

Safe schools and 'hoods should be for everyone, not just white people.

Mayor Bowser is not into defunding the police. She is very much pro-police. Where are you posting from, troll?

The Council is defunding police

The troll said, "Mayor."

So back to the topic at hand - did they catch the person who did the stabbing? Did the victims die? Was there a motive? I haven't seen any follow up since the day of the stabbings.

MPD clearance rates are disturbingly low, so the odds are against it.

While I get that, I'm just very surprised that there has been nothing in the news - TV, Post, City Paper, twitter since it happened 2 days ago.

Unless it was a white person murdered or there is a direct connection to the Mayor, usually the news never follows up. Always moves on to the next thing.

My spouse said both a Republican and a libertarian are running for cheh's seat. is this true? I would likely donate to the Republican's campaign. While I'm more of a libertarian myself, I think most libertarians who 'run' are kind of nuts.

Within eyeshot of the 2nd district station.

We should get another station or substation closer to where the next crime will be. I can't believe politicians are saying to defund police.

Nice job kicking your own ass there.

DC will soon be like like San Francisco. So sad. We should do better!

I think the Washington Post and the City Paper are better options to answer that question here and to do some basic research before you vote.

Especially as a quick search would have informed you that the Post just endorsed the Ward 3 Republican candidate.

This really says a lot more about you. Your assumption is both anecdotally and statistically wrong.

Racism is one hell of a drug

It certainly is when you assume the residents of a homeless shelter are of a particular race. Why do yo think that?

Not going to happen. This is the fatal flaw of a one party jurisdiction. The primary candidates are like crabs in a bucket and the only way to stand out is to embrace increasingly radical policies. Mayor Barry would never win a DC primary today. DC politics is toxic in the same way that Alabama is, just in the opposite direction.

That's why Muriel Bowser lost to the more left wing challenger and... Oh, wait you're full of it.

Um. If Trayvon White didn’t run the left wing candidate most certainly would have won. Hurts to be the Democratic Alabama, doesn’t it?

Homeless people in DC are disproportionately Black. Yes, that is due to racism.

1. You must not be very bright. Robert White would have had to pick up nearly 100% of Trayon White's votes for that to happen. Some of them may have voted for Bowser or no one.

2. I'm ok with being the exact opposite of Alabama.
