[quote=Anonymous]In addition to the above there were attempted changes to the law around carjacking and to penalties, including if a child was in the car, to change that from "kidnapping." The law ultimately failed, but it all sends a message to the other players.

And I think there are activists in USA office too. Perhaps a bigger influence on the culture post 2017 than before > rising no paper rates. Rumor is that a cohort of people who prosecuted everything retired around the same time and the office culture changed.

When Graves has dialed up prosecutions in one area, they have dropped overall for the month, as though there is pushback. It's tricky as he relies on them and is pretty involved with J6 himself.

And even when they do prosecute or ask for someone to be held, often the judges release. The man who killed the young woman from VA going to Echostage had been ordered held by one judge with a detailed order re: dangerousness, only for a judge re: a different matter to order him released a short time later. With tragic results.

There is a real vibe in the city from the laws with endless chances even for rapists and murderers, to the Sentencing Commission nomination to vouchers prioritizing returning citizens for W3 rather than young moms or the elderly, that criminals are the priority of the Council.

I'm curious what the plan is for the shrinking revenue streams - CRE crash, expiring fed and commercial leases soon, long time residents moving, etc.
