My DCPS school reopened before MD, VA and most privates. |
Is this a serious question? |
Tourists don't even go to where the crime is happening. That's why all this show of force on the National Mall is stupid. Targeted enforcement of known hotspots, sure - but so far it just looks like theatre. |
No one is saying that, liar. |
What about these tourists? https://www.nbcwashington.com/news/local/couple-walking-around-dupont-circle-robbed-of-canada-goose-jackets/3273067/ |
We definately need the National Guard to protect Canada Goose jackets. Great use of federal resources. |
Friend in the FBI said it was a total joke and completely useless. |
The Capitol and the DC Metro authorities do not flow in parallel. These are different areas. The laws, policies and regulations are not the same for both. |
This attitude. So it’s okay to point guns in people’s faces and take the clothes off their back in broad daylight. K |
No, that's what we have police for. Two things can be simultaneously true: mugging is a terrible crime, and DC does not need the National Guard today. |
THIS. Also have them work on cutting invasive vines of the DMV jungle to prevent trees from falling on the roads and power lines. If they have enough physical prowess to jump people and want to fight or flex their muscle, plenty to do. This work is now done by volunteers many of whom are of retirement age and a few school kids wanting credits. |
Mugging being normalized and us taking it for granted is a horrible crime. |
Who is normalizing it? |
Pay attention. Of course it's not okay to do that but the response is not to militarize and federally take over a city |
