Pretty sure that the federal prosecutors tasked with prosecuting local crime in DC would disagree.

Sure doesn't seem that way. Seems they are more focused on "oh, cut him a break, give him a second chance and a third chance and a fourth chance" and "oh, he's a minor so we should go easy" on even the most blatantly vicious attacks happening on DC's streets.

Look, we don't give a shit about the kid busted for smoking a blunt. We care about the teens who assault people in packs at metro stops, we care about the packs of teens who rob stores as flash mobs, the fact that kids are undeterred and in fact emboldened because they've seen so many others do it and get away with it.

Except for this year and last.

You can always move

Sure, that fixes the problem every time.

Case in point, Detroit

It has increased on the metro. Metro used to be super safe.

+1.

It also used to work reliably.

Deadbeats in Virginia and Maryland need to fund Metro. Congress also needs to step up or slow DC to impose a commuter tax. And perhaps sham private gun sales and lack of registration and effective regulations aren't helping things here in DC, but I digress.

I would love w cummter tax. It would drive more businesses and agency to out more telework in, thus cutting on commuting. It would hurt DC business as people would just refuse to commute, but hey, liberal ideology is to tax everything.

Real estate is cheaper outside the District anyways. More agencies are seeing this as they setup up shop in Herndon, Alexandria and so on.

Guns are available in Virginia, yet our crime rate is significantly lower. Seems to be an issue with lack of law enforcement or too many criminals in your area. Perhaps you should move

What did your council member vote? https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/dr-gridlock/wp/2016/01/27/d-c-council-says-no-to-higher-penalties-for-crimes-committed-on-metro/ At a metro stop at a hospital [foggy bottom-GW] I once saw an elderly woman who needed medical attention sitting on the platform with a few metro workers for over 20 minutes before they helped her with additional people. That was just the 20 I was standing and waiting.

Where's the vote tally?

Here's an idea - how about Metro start REQUIRING that every metro pass be registered with name, address and contact info? And then use the data from who swiped through the turnstiles to figure out who the perps might be? And also run analysis on the registration data to look for fraudulent names/addresses and deactivate any that are illegitimate.

They could make an exception for tourists, making 3 day and 7 day passes available that don't need to be registered - but at some extra cost.

In due time everyone will have a chip implanted in the base of their skull at birth allowing the government to keep track of our whereabouts at all times.

Unfortunately, the DOJ is too focused on ideological issues like suing states and localities that pass laws restricting Trannies from using any bathroom of choice, when it should be putting more resources into understanding the spike up in violent crime in many major US cities -- particularly violent crimes by and victimizing youth.

Metro has excellent cameras. It's not hard to figure out who was where when X happened. They just don't care. (See the fire at Federal Center as evidence of their level of caring.)

The article you cited is entitled, "US cities see unexplained rise in violent crimes this year." The article states that some increase in violent crime may be explained by Ferguson, BLM, etc. Most cannot. Making overly broad generalizations will not help solve problems.

Violent crimes — from homicides and rapes to robberies — have been on the rise in many major U.S. cities, yet experts can’t point to a single reason why and the jump isn’t enough to suggest there’s a trend.

Still, it is stumping law enforcement officials, who are seeking a way to combat the problem.

Really? Nightlife! Clubs and bars. Did you never go out?

I'll never forget taking a babysitter home and people were riding the city bikes at 2 am like they did not have a care in the world. DC (nor any other city) is not Disneyland. Crime exists. Don't get wasted and wonder why you got mugged!

DC is not the city that never sleeps, but people do go about in DC even at 2 or 3 am.

Not clear what the real reason is. But, true, BLM sounds more likely than global warming.

Bullshit. BLM isn't telling cops to stop arresting criminals. They are telling cops to stop with the abuse. If you can't tell the difference between those two concepts then you aren't qualified to be commenting.

And your "global warming" comment only adds to your idiocy.
