[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We are on course towards a nearly 10 year low in the homicide numbers, and the pace has not changed since the national guard. End of story.[/quote]

Do you have a link to statistics that back this claim?[/quote]

Sure.  Right here.  Unlike MAGA dickheads I don’t just make stuff up.

There have been 15 murders after the NG showed up on August 12. There were 100 in 2025 before that. Are you implying that there isn’t a difference between 15 divided by 2 1/2 months and 100 divided by 7 1/2 months?

I don’t know what you think you’re proving by reposting what OP posted. Bizarre. [/quote]

Dude, that single reference point means nothing and does not by itself indicate in any way shape or form that the NG has reduced crime in DC.  How many murders can you seriously maintain have been prevented by their presence?   [/quote]

How many years do they need to be here before we have enough data for you?[/quote]

They’ve been here less than three months.  That’s no data at all.

But yes if you flood any major American city with National Guard troops to do the bullshit stuff that local police sometimes have to do that likely frees up the local police to focus more on actual crime.  But that doesn’t mean that it’s the right or most cost effective way to do things.

And again, I will ask, where in DC do you live? Like me, when you walk out your front door do you NG troops stealing shade from the tree in front of your house while scrolling their phones or crowding the entrance to the quiet corner store where you bring your grandkids to buy candy?  Somehow I doubt it.  Tell me where you are and I’ll tell you how I think things should be where you are. [/quote]
