This is the welcoming Ward 3 that Matt Frumin promised you.  Promises made, promises kept![/quote]

Why the hell not?

These kids know the city council and mayors office intentionally created conditions where kids face:

- zero consequences.

Why not break shit and rampage?

Guess DC politicians want it this way.[/quote]

I think it's pretty shocking that the police report just sort of dismissed the whole thing. I mean, police were on the scene, the whole thing must be on video feed and the kids easily identifiable. I don't care if they were black, white or some other color kid brawling--it's inappropriate and there should have been some kind of consequence for the ones brawling. Maybe it was a he said, she said situation--but names should have been taken and parents called. A warning at the least. How would a parent even know if their kid was involved?[/quote]
I think it’s one of those situations that sounds worse that it actually was.

Football game lets out and a hundred or so kids mulling around.

Someone starts beef and throws some punches. Some friends on both sides jump in.

Police break it up and send the kids away. No one was seriously hurt and importantly for DC in this day and age, no weapons were brandished.

Seems like everything was handled the way I would expect.

The bigger concern is if this leads to a longer term need where one kid plots revenge. That’s how kids end up murdered in this city. [/quote]

Sure. That is a totally valid bigger concern in DC. When we don't intervene a little more robustly, we are saying as a society that we are OK with kids ending up in the bigger concern places... today, or down the line. But if you don't draw some line when it's little stuff, we all know it turns into bigger stuff. Maybe that's why JR has been called Yale or Jail for so many decades.[/quote]
