A huge city like NYC cleaned up fast back in the day but tiny city like DC can't???? BS.

And letting these people thrive in the community only encourages more crime. Don't ask me, ask the murderer who the Council nominated to be on the sentencing commission. He says himself that seeing successful criminals turned him towards a life of crime and murder:

"Welfare checks came once a month, and people literally went from rags to riches in a couple of days. You started to see this influx of money in the hands of drug dealers. We didn’t call them drug dealers, we called them big boys. These were individuals I looked up to; they’d come up to the ice cream truck, pull out a knot of money and give it to everybody. They represented success. And that’s the only success that you saw."

Of course, his solution is to remove consequences. There's a better solution - get these people off the streets so that they don't keep encouraging young and naive kids to pursue a life of crime.

But if you actually want to see the "root causes," there you go. Even when people were getting handouts and government money, they looked up to the criminals, since the criminals were allowed to have success. The people who talk endlessly about "root causes" but then ignore the actual facts on the ground don't really care about root causes, don't really care about crime, and don't really care about helping these communities. They only care about virtue signalling to others in their in-group.

It's not that it can't, it's just that it doesn't want to because they can't acknowledge Part 1 of the problem...like an alcoholic, that there IS a problem.
As many (Democrat) posters have finally acknowledged on here, Democrat policies have set DC on crime fire, like all other blue cities. But until the voters rationally swallow their pride and vote Republican, this wont change. The evidence is NYC going from Dinkins and others to Rudy Giuliani and Bloomberg.
When you buy a fixer upper house, do you half ass it and still leave it mostly a mess? No.
DC Democrats want to have "other" Democrats, which would be just half-assing it (at best) when DC and all these cities need a complete overhaul for true, noticeable change. Until they actually make changes, like a drug addict or alcoholic completely eliminating the substance, it will look the same. You voted for it and/or accept it.

Part of the problem with the SJW crowd is this fundamental misunderstanding. It's not a "civil liberty" to rob and murder other people without having to face any consequences.

Much like the woman killed in Athens, this murder didn't have to happen but was the direct result of bad public policy.

Sooo much hysteria over so-called “crime;” it’s just ridiculous.

And all of it comes from white fragility.

Disagree. It’s completely possible. Ask anyone who grew up in or around NYC in the late 1980’s. NYC was a total sewer. Really not that far off from the movie Warriors. Giuliani (before he went insane) was elected in 1994 and cleaned up the city. It was an amazing renaissance. NYC was amazing in the late 1990s.

Yeah, illegally arresting tons of black and brown people in NYC really cleaned up the city. Great job, Rudy!

He instituted stop and frisk which really affected street crime. He also followed the broken windows theory.
Given that so many black and brown people continued to flock to NYC, it seems they also thought Rudy did a great job.

Are we OK with women in DC being murdered like this? is she another 'invisible' victim? This is Nicole Brown Simpson horrible. He broke a toilet lid cover in 3 places hitting her in the face??
Women don't count in DC.

Arrested earlier this month and released without charges. Free and clear to choke a woman with a belt and then beat her with a toilet lid until she died.

When you lockup criminals, crime goes down. Really common sense logic.

They came to the US and brought their MS13 crime with them. That's why the crime started to dip in El Salvadore.

He's not a danger if you don't give him a belt or toilet seat.
