Of course, the answer is more violence interruptors, which studies show don’t work, more lenient laws like the Youth Rehabilitation Act, and extending its reach to 26 years olds, more hand wringing and naval gazing about the root causes of poverty and endless discussion about inequity and imbalance in incarceration statistics, meanwhile the violence gets worse, families leave the city, because weak liberals won’t do a thing to counter it like make fking arrests.

This kind of sht is why you’ll lose in November. Obviously, those elections won’t do a thing for DC. It’ll probably get worse here for years until finally people have enough and say “maybe a super liberal city council and its novel criminal justice policies that seem to be quite loose and without consequence aren’t working. Maybe people who get punched in the face need more than restorative justice to feel whole.”

Ughhhh we pay too much in taxes to be this weak.

What I meant is on a national level, the normies will see what liberal city councils and their laws do for crime, and they may vote more conservatively. Meanwhile, DC will still keep its liberal law makers and probably vote even more in because this city went 97% for Hillary, which just shows how liberal it is and how much we can’t get anyone tough on crime.

It’s crazy how history repeats itself and yet people don’t learn. Remember the 90’s? Crack? Crime? Boarded up buildings? I do. It sucked. I’m sorry.[/quote]

Yep. I think that the policies are completely misplaced.  We should focus on reforming the incarceration system so that it provides the counseling, training, (and essentially re-parenting) services that the offenders need.  And then they need to be put there---away from the law-abiding and non-violent citizens---until they have actually been rehabilitiated.  Everyone criticizes the prison-industrial complex----and those criticisms have merit---but the solution is NOT to just let violent predators run loose in the city with no consequences.  Instead reform the prison system.  I would happily pay higher taxes for a juvenile detention system that intensely tried to counsel, train and rehabilitate.  Isn't it Finland that has the prison system with the least recividism rates?  Why can't we figure out what they do right and then replicate it?  Because neither the progressives nor the current "lock 'em up" far right has the answers.[/quote]

Finland is monoracial without the legacy of slavery we have here. We have this fked up legacy that happened to African Americans and to American Indians. Check out the crime rates on reservations. Tldr populations that have fked up histories have fked up presents.

The truth is we need to get tough on crime and arrest anyone committing crimes. We’ve had decades of programs and highest school spending in the nation and all this stuff. It’s impossible to just say “oh we need people to be raised right and value education and not commit crime”. It’s impossible for a nation to just take over peoples lives and force them to be productive citizens and not shoot other people. Honestly, we are fked with liberals in charge now, because we all know the future is going to be filled with excuse after excuse to just let criminals commit crime because of quoting disparate impact and the bar is only going to get lower without consequence. The city is already on the decline again. This time because everyone feels bad and just wants these weak policies that don’t have any effect. We are screwed. And for the next few decades we will have all these kids graduating from like super liberal criminal justice reform schools like John Jay where they’ll learn restorative justice and it will just snowball and yes jails will be emptier but more victims will be impacted. I guess we all have to learn the hard way now.[/quote]

It is no longer about the victims and keeping society safe.  Tax paying families will move out.[/quote]
