Oh right, no we don't. We just need Congress to stop dipping their toes into our city's policies and overriding things like... an anti gun bill, for instance.

You mean like this crime bill?

Congress overturns D.C. crime bill with President Biden's help
The Democratic-held Senate approved a GOP-led resolution that will overrule the liberal Washington, D.C., city council's rewrite of the criminal code for the nation's capital.

At issue in what was a sweeping but otherwise noncontroversial effort to overhaul D.C.'s criminal statutes are provisions to reduce the maximum penalties for crimes like armed carjacking from 40 years down to 24, which supporters argue is in line with the actual sentences handed down in court in recent years.

There was also objection to a provision to expanding the right to jury trials for certain criminal misdemeanor offenses, which critics say would overload a taxed D.C. court system and result in prosecutors dropping more cases.

That bill would have right sized sentencing guidelines which would have increased the efficency of the court system, so yes. Like that bill.

LOL. Even Mayor Bowser didn't want it.
You're delusional.

It would have caused even more armed carjacking and instead of increasing efficiency of the court system, it would have overwhelmed it.

Yeah, all those carjackings that would have been punishable by... checks notes.. 24 years in prison or 31 years if it involved a weapon/vulnerable population person. Right.

Friend of mine works for a big plumbing contractor in the area, they stopped taking work in the District.

In the latest muggings the crooks are having people log into their banking apps before taking their phones. They then empty the bank accounts into gift cards.

And, they got away.

This is a disturbing trend:

Four youth (two female and two male) not more that 13 or 14 years old are/were in the Hillcrest area (2000 block 34th ST SE) trying to steal cars. One of the boys knocked on a neighbors house, said he had a gun and demanded car keys and wallet. Car keys were handed over. Kids tried to start car and could not so fled down 34th across Alabama Ave.

If the secret service could actually shoot straight we might have riots taking place nationwide today.

This is a natural progression I think. Just look at any other really violent area - South Africa for example. Carjackings lead to armed home invasions.

So nice that she gets to live at the White House and have private security. Her grandad’s crazy immigration and policing policies leave the rest of us to defend for ourselves.

Hope they find these criminal low-lifes, charge them with a federal crime and get them "involved" with the federal justice system -- not the ineffectual DC juvenile variety.

This will be the death of restaurants and shops in downtown DC. It is been happening for awhile in San Francisco.

This type of behavior also lives to people living in walled and armed compounds. The walled and armed compounds are common in South Africa.

Secret Service tried to Karon Blake them. More precedent for citizens who plan to shoot to protect their cars.
