[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think the important thing to remember is that time will grind on and these little unimportant robberies will be forgotten and there will be others and there will be more carjackings and so forth, but what matters is that we don’t break up families and make people feel bad. Their just things, right? I mean Charles Allen is so prescient. We need to explore the root causes of poverty for a few decades, hire a few violence interruptors at a cost of $9M even if they aren’t proven to work, and we need to shut anyone down or call them a racist if they ask for more policing and stronger sentences for violent crime. It’s about feelings and it’s about making everyone feel safe. I hope we get a million more Karl Racines and Chessa whatever his name is from San Francisco. We can’t stop until every part of the country looks like downtown Baltimore or Kensington Avenue in Philadelphia. Only then will we all be where we should be. Even complaining about crime makes you a gentrifying piece of sht. So just stop. Forget about crime and just read the news and see the crime go up and just accept it.[/quote] Yes. We should simply write MPD a blank check so they can hire more officers to sit in their cruisers and play on their phones while sitting in bus lanes and in front of bus stops. I don't even believe MPD has made arrests in the case of the doctor who was mowed down by someone who stole his car at 18 and Florida NW. As high profile a case as it gets.[/quote] The doctor was a MD resident so not anyones neighbor or constituent and the mayor said the murders didn’t mean it. So case closed. [/quote] wow. This grandma dismembered in NO with carjacking. There needs to be a nationwide response to this. I'm thinking teen criminals should be locked up and not released until 21 AND they meet conditions--counseling, completion of full GED or alternative diploma, behavior on the inside, gainful employment plan or education plan or job training plan and close supervision upon release. You don't just sail out at 21. A board and judge determine if society can tolerate you as a productive citizen ready to make amends. If they can't meet that they stay in until they do.[/quote]
