Wait until the young people find out what the government thinks they need when socialism proceeds to communism.

Some people are very slow learners.

When tax collections drop and social programs are cut, and fave pet projects like bike lanes and e-bike subsidies, maybe they will get a clue. Or if they or a family member becomes a victim of a violent crime in broad daylight may seem a bit more serious.

You are ignorant. Do you even live here? Did you take civics in school? What about the federally appointed USAO who declines to prosecute 67% of arrests or the elected AG who natters on about gas stoves and "kids are kids" and whose prosecution rate is only slightly higher? What about the laws that the Council has passed to prevent police from being able to follow criminals as long as they get in a vehicle and turn a key?

The system needs reworking from top to bottom. I agree the defund / slam the police movement played a large role in part of it-but the dysfunction is through and through. Hello crime lab, I'm looking at you. Is there a way for DC residents to mount a class action lawsuit for the failure in Public Safety? Or one of those grand federal investigations where the different players (including the AG) are all given wickets and terms to meet by law, or face penalties? There is no fixing "one part' of this, which is why everyone sane is currently buying themself a legal, registered weapon.

Around 7:30 am this morning, 12/26, commuting hours, a man was shot to death at a bus stop outside the L'Enfant metro stop. The safety of that area is really declining.

A mom with a gun vs. 3 teens w/guns, your odds are not good and they are far more likely to shoot you or your kid first.

All the sane people are relocating. It has happened before.

As revenue declines the city is going to become even less livable. School quality is also declining. COL is not. When DC had worse crime and worse schools in the past it was CHEAP to live here. Now only chumps will pay top dollar to put the lives of their families at risk. Crime is far more dispersed and brazen than in the past - broad daylight, witnesses, LE nearby? No prob!

He was shot around 4:30 am, not 7:30 am.

How is it that the nation's capital has become the worst run city in the country? Too much dependence on federal workers with no plan B? The scary part is the truancy in the schools. Everyone with the resources to leave is leaving the city. It's going to just get worse until Congress has to take over.

Hmm . . . maybe first ask the progressives?



Look, you can deny this public street in DC is painted this way. You can try to dismiss it as “merely art.” You can dismiss the fact that the DC city council re-defined “youthful offender” from age 18 and under, to 26 years-old, and under. You can argue the change had no effect on crime (it did) or blather on about “teenage brains do not fully develop until age 26. . .” You can diminish the 2018 city vote to “decriminalize” Metro fare evasion, and try to argue it had no contribution to Metro’s impending bankruptcy.

But, the truth is:

elections matter. Policies matter.

Democrats: you voted for this. Weren’t you paying attention when you voted? Why are you complaining now?

You voted for this. All of it.

We need to decriminalize shoplifting and carjacking.

And murder and rape too. And of course tax evasion and weapons use. Let's turn DC into DA -- District of Anarchy.

No no! They do not want socialism. They just want equity where everyone does what they can and gets what they need. Its totally not socialism.
