[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If only we could study the root causes of poverty in perpetuity and provide more wrap around services to end crime! Obviously, arresting and prosecuting people is not the answer. We need to lower the penalties for violent crime just like our city council advocates.

But seriously, can the city fking do something that isn’t some sort of woke/defund related nonsense that endangers communities? Can they just get tough?

I live right by Kingman Island and walk through when I need a moment for peace, or sometimes my kids like to head there with me to check out the birds and turtles. I have lived nearby for over a decade, visiting the island.

Freaking awful. By 'field' I'm guessing it was the clearing right after the 2nd bridge. There isn't really any other 'field' area unless it was one of the small spaces for "classroom" rock seating.[/quote]

Yeah, we go there all the time as well. It’s normally so peaceful with all the turtles and whatnot. Anyway, I wish we could elect a tough on crime moderate Republican but that’s a fking dream.[/quote]

A Republican won’t be able to do much. The issue is that this country is getting more flooded by cheap guns everyday. How and where did an incoherent insane person get a gun? [/quote]

Yeah? [b]The control board brought in the 80’s seemed to help. [/b]Also, you can’t, with a straight face, claim Charles Allen and the progressives on the council actually take crime seriously and are doing what it takes to get it under control.

I just read about Bukela in El Salvador. Woah we could do that here. Round up all the gang members and violent criminals.[/quote]

The financial control board? No, it had zero effect in the 1980s.

Also, what kind of person wishes we were governed by an autocrat?! :shock: [/quote]

Not an American [/quote]

Cool story. If DC wants to elect virtue signaling, weak on crime progressives, I would love for congress to step in like this:

If you haven’t seen the stats do yourself a favor and educate yourself:

There comes a point where you have just ignore the perpetually aggrieved, social justice warriors who bleat breathlessly about how they hate police and arresting people. This crime control board idea sounds good.

Everyone knows the only way to really control crime is to crack down. This whole liberal shielding and no prosecution stuff doesn’t work. Look to El Salvador and Bukele.

DC doesn’t even get to prosecute it’s own crimes, aside from minors.

Like I said: how is a crazy person chasing people on Kingman Island getting access to a gun?[b] That’s where we need to intensely focus law enforcement.[/b] [/quote]

Finally, someone else willing to advocate for stop and frisk. Let's tackle the illegal gun problem at the point of sale AND the point of use.[/quote]

Let's tackle the illegal gun problem with a strategy that is not only ineffective but also unconstitutional![/quote]
