Coolidge and Roosevelt students "kidnapped" until they unlocked their phones

Why does JLG keep getting reelected?
Same with Bowser. I don’t understand it

Janeese Lewis George says we can't do that because it would "traumatize" them.

JLG is not even sure crime is wrong.

The Council's Coddling Criminals Caucus needs to go, including JLG and Allen.

That one is a mouthful. Keep working on the slogans.

If I am 17. I car jack someone wlat gunpoint. No injuries. I get tossed in jail for a few days until whatever process happens where the AG or USDAO (I don't care who's fault it is) decides to release me because I am young or whatever reason they have.

Does DC then do anything to try and rehabilitate me? When I walk out of jail a week after car jacking someone, am I assigned a case worker? A mentor? Does someone see where I am on the road to graduating? Does DC do anything or am I just left to my own devices to infer whatever lesson I learned over the last week?

You don't go to jail at all. Bowser had a bill to change that, but it was rejected by the city council. Janeese Lewis George led the opposition. She said jail would "traumatize" them.

What is she doing for their actually traumatized victims?

What does that have to do with anything? Congress reviews all legislation passed by the Council before it can become law and retains authority over the District’s budget. Also, the President appoints the District’s judges, and the federal USAO serves as both the local and the federal prosecutor for all crimes, including misdemeanor drug possession cases to murders. How would expanding Congress's authority over DC change the District's laws, budget for crime, or prosecution of crime? All of it is run by the federal government already.

Maybe that is the problem; maybe we need more local control over our criminal system so Congress can't gut our gun laws and the federal judiciary can't refuse to prosecute and punish people committing crimes in DC.

Congress can’t gut our gun laws. Lol.

Low information voter. This is what we’re dealing with. No wonder crime is so bad.

You’re assuming the police would even make that attempt. From the experience of many constituents in JLG ward the police won’t do anything. Like anything. Like tell them you see the person who robbed you walking down the street and the police do not show up to arrest them, talk to them, nothing.

I was robbed in ward 4. The cops were all over it. Seriously. I was impressed.
