[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I was talking to power crews yesterday who came in from out of state.  They stated that one of their teams was robbed while here.  I cannot verify if this is true but their perception is that DC is dangerous.  He stated that his spouse was worried.
Perception matters because at what point won’t we (DC) be able to get additional resources because out of state teams don’t want to come to a dangerous city.

Yes, when a major "news" source has devoted years to portraying cities in the US as landscapes of smoking rubble populated by criminal sociopaths, some people do become afraid to visit those cities.[/quote]

You so want to deny the crime statistics, yet there they are showing massive increases in violent crime and murders. Why are you such an apologist for this problem? This isn’t a foxnews conspiracy. The facts are there and show that the city was much more exposed to violence and related crime.

The city has been testing out novel progressive criminal justice policy, but all it’s done is made the city less safe. What solutions are you proposing? More burying of heads in the sand while car jackings and retail theft occurs unchecked? And don’t say “move to the suburbs!” Because I grew up in the city.[/quote]

Er. I am not denying crime statistics. I am merely saying that DC is not a landscape of smoking rubble populated by criminal sociopaths. Unless you are a criminal sociopath?[/quote]
