[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Murder at Navy Yard metro this morning.

But, repeat after me, “things were worse in the 90s.”[/quote]

That was a shooting on the train not at the station but yeah … point taken. [/quote]

I lived there in the ‘90s and it was much worse. But that doesn’t mean today’s level of crime is ok and should be tolerated.

Posts about the 11 year-old who was arrested by MPD for his involvement in 3 armed robberies, and covered by WTOP ?

- those should be deleted.  Nothing to see.  Move along.  Most feel safe in their neighborhoods.[/quote]

Wait - WHAT?!?

My 12 year old son is 5 ft 9 and 160 pounds, making him larger than many men. You think a kid that size should be free to roam around attacking people?

This can’t be real[/quote]
Yup it is, oh and the Post had an update today about the 12 year old who had previously been arrested on 9 carjackings, robberies, etc. He had for some reason been placed in a shelter house and not held at the juvie detention center and wait for it….he fled the insecure shelter and is at large. Yay DC and progressive criminal justice policies! [/quote]

You can’t ethically just throw a 12 yo into prison. Get real. That kid needs help and not just empty punishment. 12![/quote][/quote]

Nobody said he should have been thrown into a prison. He should be in a youth detention facility, where he can be separated from the bad influences and probable neglect of his current environment. A youth detention facility will have educational programs, healthcare, mentoring, etc.--he's not just sitting in a cell to rot. [/quote]
