Six Months Into 2021 and DC Crime Data is Exactly What You Expect

[Anonymous]

Homicides and Car Theft up 13% and 29% respectively, everything else is about the same as last year.

Big problem is that summer is just getting started.

It’s not just that crime is up. It’s that the criminals have become much more brazen. The theft of Mary Cheh’s car in broad daylight. The murder of the Uber eats driver. The shooting of the mom and child in Logan. The drive by shooting in Cleveland Park. Criminals know they have the upper hand after all the BLM/defund the police protests. We are not far off from being San Francisco where thief's just walk into stores and take what they want. Wake up people.

Car thefts you can disregard as that is property crime and not the city's concern (that is why you have car insurance).

Homicide should be coming down once we recover from the Trump hang over. The marginalized are already feeling far more empowered and those crimes are falling. Give the present administration six months.

Crime is still low but there's certainly enough of it for you to sit at home and bloviate.

You’re trolling, right? You must be. Please tell me no one actually believes the words you just wrote.

If DC is no longer concerned about thefts from autos and other mere property crimes, then DC should stop taxing such property.

Oh, and does DC pay one’s car insurance? And who pays once insurance rates increase after a claim is made?

The number of homicides is certainly not low and its increasing, which is worrying. I would hope you would agree that it is not good for people to be murdering people in the streets.

Why 2021 and expect?

Who is committing these crimes? Isn't it the marginalized? What's going to happen soon that will change how they feel?

No. But zero tolerance tolerance policing policies will.

People are feeling marginalized due to being effectively disenfranchised. Once statehood is realized (i.e., State if Washington, Douglass Commonwealth comes into being) a lot of these crimes will simply stop happening.

Statehood will be the biggest step forward since Home Rule, and will have many positive effects on other aspects of District life.

This is a nice thought, but I really don’t think violent criminals care about DC statehood.

Hilarious!

John (to his co-conspirators): Heading out tonight to jack a car. Whose with me?

Jake: I'm in. I've got my piece.

Sam: Me, too.

Colin: Wait.... what is the status of the DC Statehood bill? If that has passed, I say we forget it.

Insane post. What about car thefts when the driver is driving the car as in the Uber Eats driver? Ignore that too?
I'm betting you also brushed off the property crimes that occurred during the riots last summer because "insurance will cover it." Guess what - it didn't.
