[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DC is SUCH an outlier among other cities. In the region, now have higher homicides than Baltimore. I hope they reboot The Wire and base it here. With more attention and shame perhaps common sense could rein in cj, as it is in Baltimore.

[quote]And some cities are bucking the positive trend, including Washington, D.C., where the murder toll continues a grim multiyear climb. The homicide tally this year is the highest in two decades, and there have been more than 900 carjacking incidents.

Washington is an exception this year even in the mid-Atlantic region. Baltimore is on track to report the fewest murders in nearly a decade and Philadelphia to post a homicide count more than 25% below its 2021 record of 562.[/quote]

The randomness of crime in DC now is a big change, as is the brazenness of daytime crime and crime committed with LE nearby.

The randomness and the daytime crime is what makes this crime wave different from the past. You could have been perfectly safe in DC 10 years ago avoiding the worst areas and avoiding walking alone late at night. Not even after dark, because it was still fine to get dinner and a drink. Just those late night hours where nothing good happens. Same precautions you’d take in any major US city. Now we have day care workers and toddlers being assaulted in broad daylight, members of Congress being assaulted in their own buildings, carjackings at all hours and in pretty much all neighborhoods … it’s totally different.
