And an armed robbery

At this point even I’m thinking about running against Allen. [/quote]

A lot of people would contribute from other wards to ANYONE who is the opposite of Allen. Hammurabi would amass a war chest at this point.

The loony crime policies of some of our DC Councilmembers don't just affect their wards. Apparently further softening of youth crime accountability is being pushed through by Allen. Silverman and their ilk RIGHT NOW for vote this spring.[/quote]
I’m curious how much responsibility Bowser should take. Both her and Contee point their fingers at the council but certainly have much more actual power to do something about it.

Its pathetic that the entire city government is pointing fingers instead of and in preference to coming together to tackle this problem that should be their highest priority. [/quote]
Contee cannot do anything other than make the arrests, that’s why he said people need to follow a case through the system to see what happens after it’s out of MPDs hands. If Karl Racine’s prosecutors (and I’m using that word pretty loosely here, social workers might be a better fit) are just letting kids out, giving them slaps on the wrists, and not holding them accountable for violent crime, Contee has no control over that. These people can’t all come together because they do not share a common vision. Charles Allen/the Council/Karl Racine do not believe in accountability for young people that are committing violent crimes. Merely giving a mentor and a probation officer to a kid who is carjacking people at gunpoint is not accountability. The level of accountability needs to match the offense, it cannot be that because you are a kid we will treat you the same whether you steal candy or shoot somebody.[/quote]
