[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]Law makers and prosecutors need to address this.[/b][/quote]

They HAVE been addressing it, just in the opposite way that you talk about. Instead, laws have been weakened re: juveniles and similar attempts were made re: carjacking and related crimes. Had Biden not acted re: the bill a year ago this would not even count as "kidnapping" but "criminal restraint." For that alone, Allen should be recalled. If you think someone who just served 27 years for a cold blooded murder will advocate for stiffer sentences, I have a bridge to sell you.

Read the room, in all kindness. From the DC Court of Appeals who have made gun arrests almost impossible, in contravention of SC precedent, on down, those in power act with different goals than you or I have, PP. MANY are former public defenders who act as if they are still in that role, leaving no one advocating for not only victims, but public safety.

Bowser tends to "sound" better but does not have as much leverage as those above, and Graves tends to talk out of both sides of his mouth.

Career prosecutors are not zealous about protecting all the poor black folks most likely to be victimized by crime. They are more focused on the rights of the criminals rather than finding innovative ways to protect public safety.

It's not getting better. People love simplistic slogans "vote them all out" without understanding that the HR act makes that impossible and without more pro safety candidates lined up. They say "call in the National Guard" without understanding that without prosecution of little benefit and without remembering that the 2 teen girls dragged the Uber Eats driver to his death in Navy Yard literally at the feet of NG troops.

Take care of yourselves and your families and focus on what you DO have control over.

Ward 3 and metro are not the safety bubbles they were in the 90s due to carjacking being allowed to flourish and the voucher program moving 5,000 people to Connecticut and Wisconsin in a few years time, prioritizing ex-cons, the severely mentally ill and addicts. And, secret, a lot of families with teens who carjack neighbors or steal their cars, looking at YOU, The Brandywine. They are PSH, PERMANENT supportive housing vouchers. People are being held up at gunpoint in City Ridge in the afternoon. Does the Equinox membership still seem appealing and worth it? I had been eyeing it for the new year.  [/quote]
