[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I know some will complain about DC Home Rule issues, but I do think the US Congress has a responsibility to protect citizens visiting from outside of DC to see the sights or to do a Capitol Hill visit.  A safe environment is more important than woke progressive politics in Capitol city.[/quote]

+1 Exactly--thank you!![/quote]

Explain the correlation between an updated criminal code that goes into place in three years and tourist safety. I'm very curious[/quote]
The correlation is established -- and casual. The proposed soft on crime new code establishes shorter sentences for several violent crimes'. Most violent crime in DC, over 90%, is committed by persons who have committed prior crimes. Letting them out onto our streets sooner and in greater numbers, means 1) they are on the streets to commit crimes, 2)  They are also less afraid of penalties when caught.  That per se makes the city more dangerous for both residents and tourists, and creates more innocents victims among the >90% of people who war law abiding.[/quote]
