Why is "not living in fear" so important to conservative identity?

Just ask the Ukrainian girl murdered in NC.

Maybe if he was put in jail instead of released by a liberal judge, she would be alive??????

Democrats cannot respond to NC murder, all media was silent for several days dealing with a dilemma - do they stand with Ukraine or BLM?

I am a woman and do not live in fear. In fact, now that it is safe to go into DC, I actually feel secure. It hasn't been like this in a while, and I love feeling free to walk into the metro knowing that the MPD and NG are intimidating and removing the bad actors.

And yet, people who live in high crime neighborhoods in DC are NOT seeing more cops and NOT seeing NG. One woman said she saw 3 guard members, but they were just getting on the train to go somewhere else.

Why do they say he was released by a liberal judge? All I read was that he was arrested in 2020. No info about the outcome. It was an assault on a family member but with only an arrest record that doesn't even tell you how serious it was.
with 22,000 homicides in the US per year, you can bet some are particularly horrific (although, and sorry to be callous, but dead is dead is dead). But the national news does NOT cover 22,000 homicides per year and only a handful make national headlines as it is. You just hate the fact that a particularly horrifying (because it happened in public) murder didn't get splashed everywhere to titillate everyone. Did her being young make the difference, what it that she was white, was it that she was Ukrainian?

I'll bet anything you wish the guy was also an undocumented immigrant, would have made your day.

Yes, Chicago did have 573 murders in 2024 and that's a horrible thing. But it also has a population of 2.7 million people - and any time you gather that many people in a single jurisdiction numbers get higher. Birmingham, Alabama had 153 murders last year with a population of only 200k. Scale that up to Chicago's size and we're talking more than 2000 murders. I would much rather visit Chicago than Birmingham - but the Dem governor of Illinois makes a much better foil than the GOP governor of Alabama.

LOL. If you are having to explain why 8 murders in a weekend is no big deal or comparatively better by comparing a purported world class city to Birmingham, you have already lost the argument. Kinda like that ABC News lady fact checking Vance over the fact that it was just a few apartment complexes in Colorado controlled by Latin American drug gangs, not all of them.

The response should be really, really simple: “8 murders in a weekend is too many and we welcome a cooperative relationship with the federal government to bring down violent crime.” Instead you guys are minimizing (“do the math”) what every reasonable person can see is a big problem because . . . Trump.

no one is saying 8 murders in a weekend is acceptable, but the fact is, you are more likely to be impacted by violent crime in Birmingham than Chicago. Hence PER CAPITA. There are more PEOPLE in Chicago than Birmingham, so the raw number of incidents will be higher, but the RATE if crime is higher in Birmingam. If the GOP were really wanting to do something about gun violence, they would do something about guns, alas.

And just a few Colorado apartment complexes were controlled by Latin American drug gangs, not all of them...

If the answer is that Trump’s surges are wrong or to be rejected because crime is worse elsewhere then you are going to get tagged with the ulterior motive of being soft on crime. And, for what it’s worth, many of the people impacted by crime in places like Chicago will welcome a reduction in crime, even if crime is, in fact, worse elsewhere.

This is purely an optics issue and explaining away your nuanced position is terrible optically.

If it's going to be the same as DC, then it is purely for optics. The NG didn't go where crime was high. They stayed in the touristy areas. If that's the same in Chicago, what's the point?

Then why does it bother you so much? If they didn't go to where crime is high, then presumably they stayed out of oppressed areas. The show of force does seem to have reduced violent crime in DC--so much so that the Mayor is expressing gratitude for it. Would the same thing in Chicago really bug you that much?

Why is not living in fear important? Maybe you didn't mean to say that.

The Mayor is FOS. DC can easily be taken over by Trump. We are not a state. She played the game. It hasn't reduced crime. The cases are being thrown out and people are not getting indicted because they are being illegally arrested. It bothers me because you are getting nothing for $1M a day and it's making people not come into the city to enjoy restaurants, etc. A month ago, the city was bustling, now it's dead. I feel sorry for our businesses. When no NG, people were happy to be out. Now with NG, people are afraid to come into the city.

Carjackings and murders in DC are down materially beyond the expected rate since the beginning of the Trump surge. If that isn't worth $1M a day to you, what is?

Here is a whole city “living in fear”


A weak mayor, Bass, who is doing nothing about break ins, assaults…

This who community is pleading for help. Thai is a wealthy community. Would you want to live here?

This is the type of situation you never want to be in. But keep electing Democrats and soft o crime judges, and this is what you will get.

The mayor is saying one thing while doing another—suing the federal government. Surprised you don’t recognize the tactic. But of course you don’t. She’s playing the game.

Agreed. Now what do we have to do to ensure that the Trump surge continues indefinitely? Would he legally be able to declare martial law just for DC?

Absolutely not. How about the feds give back the $1b they took from us to hire the police officers that we've been trying to hire. The carjackings were mostly kids - not even from DC. Their is clearly a problem with youth that the NG is not going to solve.

Exactly. With all of that "OMG it's so dangerous" people love Los Angeles. The only reason they move is because it's unaffordable, not because it's dangerous.

Hell yes I would want to live in Encino. You ever been there?
