[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]Seriously, just give up on any hope of crime being substantively addressed. It just doesn’t fit with the current push for equity and criminal justice reform. Look at the city holistically, look at socioeconomics, look at the messages for increased social justice in the last few years,[/b] in whatever way that is currently defined, look at the sentiment or popularity toward the police, basically no. No you are not going to get more arrested or incarceration. You’re going to get less. And that will lead to people just knowing they can get away with things and will do more if those bad things. It’s complete fking obvious, but no you are not going to see any meaningful change. It’s the same with trying to get sensible firearms regulations in the US. It will never happen. Never. If it didn’t happen after Vegas or after Columbine or after any number of terrible events it simply won’t happen. So give up and try not to live in a sketchy area of DC or if you do basically be always on the lookout.

This.  I feel bad for people who think crime can be reduced.  The DC a government doesn’t care and won’t take action to address it.  Just move!  There are so many places in the US with less crime and better government policies.  [/quote]
