Good work by MPD. Ball is in USAO's court now.

I only see an MPD announcement about the murder arrest. Where are the announcements about the other two crimes?

[b]What are the chances that every single person who perpetuated these crimes would have been locked up had they lived in any other place than DC? I'm putting it at 75 percent. [/b][/quote]

This killer was completely comfortable carrying an illegal gun throughout DC knowing that he could drive crazy, jump the metro turnstile or do any number of other criminal acts without having a police confrontation that would lead to a gun charge. Now this young woman is dead.[/quote]

I don't even know what you are talking about. First of all, they've been pretty openly making gun related arrests on metro. Secondly, I don't know how any policy the police have in place would have caught this person with a gun before the shooting. Some of you process trauma by blaming people and while its understandable, it's also really frustrated how much misplaced blame gets passed around.[/quote]

You’re not intelligent, so this conversation is not for you. [/quote]

Are you just not sure how to respond? Because I don't think what I said was all that confusing. I'll try rephrasing the question: What council policies would have prevented this person from carrying a gun into a hotel room? [/quote]

Oh look Janeese Lewis George is here. Hey everyone it turns out that none of our elected leaders bear any responsibility for our out-of-control crime. Helpful reminder: There's only four big cities in this country (Memphis, Baltimore, New Orleans and Cleveland) with worse crime rates than DC.

What council policies would have prevented this person from carrying a gun into a hotel room?[/quote]

Allowing turnstile jumpers. Allowing fake dealer plates. Mandating cops not pursue suspects. Legalizing unlicensed sidewalk stores.

This all creates an atmosphere of lawlessness where criminals feel impervious to consequences.[/quote]

Okay, so you're just throwing things at a wall and hoping something sticks in order to try and rationalize this very sad instance of an 18 year old losing their sh**t at a party and shooting another young person. Again, this was an incredibly sad situation, but the rush to blame our CMs whenever there is a shooting is so misplaced. The situation was awful. Guns allow people who are prone to violence and escalation to create tragedies. I really don't know what else there is to say about it. [/quote]

The rush to blame is very well placed, actually.  We are watching the broken windows theory being proven before our eyes. This Council has created an environment where public fencing of stolen goods is allowed. Public use of marijuana is not prosecuted.  And violent criminals are released the next day.  The Council has created an environment of shocking lawlessness to the point where no one is safe at any hour of the day.  Professional athletes, members of congress, diplomats, or just regular folks.  We’re all in danger.  [/quote]

Well said.[/quote]

+1,000

And in danger in broad daylight, witnesses and even law enforcement nearby are no longer a deterrent. Even cooperative victims are being shot or stabbed and even witnesses have been shot at. A rifle sprays, doesn't take a marksman to be hit by a stray.

Metro is very unsafe now, it stems from changes made by DC Council, which WMATA, VA and MD advocated AGAINST. What was safe or made you safer in the 90s has also been lost. [/quote]

The DC Council needs to reverse its current stance and law and re-criminalize Metro fare evasion.  I'd bet that 95 percent of violent and other serious crimes on Metro are committed by people who evaded paying their fares.  Fare enforcement not only will help to fill a current $40 annual revenue shortfall from fare evasion, it will have a very noticeable impact on other crimes in the Metro system.  Enough is enough![/quote]
