[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Did you think people who never had a stable family or went to school regularly would be magically law abiding citizens?  They clearly are desperate people who should know better but aren't able to because they gave nothing.  Shooting them or jailing them doesn't resolve the problem.  It's a societal thing where the gap between rich and poor are too great.  Unless you put in community and neighborhood programs just strict law enforcement will drive crime to another part of the city but doesn't rid crime.  People who have nothing have nothing to lose.

How many more community programs do you want? Schools offer mental health, meals, healthcare, teach kids to ride bikes, Dc has summer youth employment, safe passage people to get home from school safely, free after and beforecare for low income residents.  My kid’s title 1 school offers parenting sessions to deal with behavior/other issues.  The district has a robust social welfare program, you can’t get evicted in DC, you don’t have to pay traffic or parking tickets, you don’t have to pay for metro or buses, etc.  [/quote]

+1000.  DC would be smart to look at cutting some of these programs rather than adding to them.  Apartment owners don't even want top rent their apartments anymore because you can never kick out a tenant![/quote]
