Nothing to see here. This is not a problem

Murdered by four teenagers who probably were not born when this gentleman was serving with US troops.

Ugh. That’s simply horrible.

- probably going on a summer vacation like the solid-democrat DC council.

Everyone be honest with yourselves:

- you are not going to do anything at all about the crime wave; you’ll just keep voting “D,” and the council will just keep ignoring the problem, because, equity.

No one cares about the murder of immigrant Uber drivers. The assault of a Congresswoman, on the other hand, caused the Democrats to abandon their position on DC statehood and overturn the city council’s criminal reforms.

I think things will get worse until there is a particularly heinous crime committed against a member of Official Washington.

If that's what we're waiting for, we probably won't have to wait that long.

I don't know about that making a difference. Look at national gun reform: What more heinous and gruesome crimes will it take to change people's minds beyond what we have already suffered?

I'm sorry, but the answer is to build bigger jails and prosecute consistently. Society cannot function when you've got criminals running around getting slap on the wrists when they are caught, only to commit the same or worse crime days later. If you commit a crime with a deadly weapon, straight to jail you go with a minimum sentence.

Time to actually enforce an under 18 curfew.

Police did this in my crime filled hometown and were able to cut the crime rate significantly. Especially when the arrested teenagers gave up details that led to arresting adult ringleaders.

You can’t unleash feral hordes in 2020 to get trump out of office and then expect the toothpaste to go back into the tube. It will get worse for another decade at least.

Yep. Amazing that nobody is talking about the tens of thousands of criminals that were released from prison in 2020-21. And, nobody saw this coming?

Normal people don't talk about conspiracy theories. You think DC needed to release prisoners to get votes for Biden?

BTW, the typical stat is that state and local prisons release more than 10K ex-prisoners per week in the U.S. We imprison a lot of people.

Yes. Get the adults too. All of them.

Big city Democrats are essentially paralyzed over the crime wave because in order for them to take any meaningful actions it would require them to admit they were outright wrong or overplayed their hand on many issues which have become religious cannon to them. Whether it’s BLM, defund the police, the school lockdowns, etc. almost everything they touched during pandemic has brought us to this point.

We might be imprisoning the wrong kind of people. Let’s look at reform to release minor drug charges and fill the prisons with violent criminals.

I thought Trump’s first step act or whatever it was called, was being referenced by pp.

A bipartisan supported measure BUT initiated by a Republican, so they would have to eat that.

DC HAS a juvenile curfew on the books.

Yes look at Texas.
