Navy Yard is definitely post-apogee.

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.

Unclear. I thought that was pretty impressive but I wasn’t there

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/

And yet we are told that carjackings can't be solved/prosecuted because 'we can't prove who was driving the car'. Could be 'some innocent who just happened upon it'.

So how did the secret service do what our police can't? How did they present suspects for the case 3 months later? Hmmmm.....

There isn’t a distinction. Jeff is using this post to lash out again a “straw man,” to use his words.

“Oh, you’re upset about all the police in your neighborhood after the shooting? But I thought you wanted them to start cracking down?!”

NP. That is English, and I wish you didn’t live here.

This thread is about a shooting and a barricade in the rich apartments east of the ballpark and this idiotic previous posters' contribution to this thread is about how bad the projects are west of the ballpark? You are as big of an idiot and a55hole has OP. Get bent.

Billions of dollars of investment are at risk is DC can’t fix the Navy Yard. It’s a stunning collapse.

If this was in the SW projects, that's not Navy Yard, but Buzzard Point or arguably SW Waterfront.

Has the city addressed the periodic stench in Navy Yard? I can't imagine living down there when sewer smells waft around every other day.

That's from the baseball club but the city can't force the Lerners to spend any money on their team.

OP is expressing frustration at living in a crime-ravaged community, not at the police themselves. Stop being purposefully obtuse. It’s not cute.

Exactly. And it’s not cute at all. It’s very dickish.

We needed the police to respond BEFORE it got this bad. We don’t even bother making police reports anymore. They are pointless. Blaming this situation on the police responding is SICK

Blame criminals. Then work to stop them. Doing anything else makes you just as bad as those committing the crimes.

One of Jeff’s hobbies is to make up a guy to get mad at and then getting mad at him. We saw it when he dreamed up the person who thinks Allen is solely responsible for the ongoing crime wave, and he’s doing it here by conflating being angry about a shootout with being mad the police responded.

Has Terrell suddenly become competent to stand trial? He needs to be released immediately to stop wasting time and money on this issue. That money could be better spent on a new stadium at RFK.

You're getting what you voted for. Why are you complaining.

“Criminals?” What criminals?

- anyone 26 years-old and under is at most a “juvenile offender” in DC, thanks to Charles Allen’s 2018 re-write of the DC criminal code, through “the lens of racial equity.”
