[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]NP here:
Instead of 30 threads about Charles Allen, why are there not at least 30 threads about Matthew M Graves and the piss poor job he’s doing?

Y’a know, the guy who actual has near total control of criminal prosecutions in DC. [/quote]

There are so many posts about Allen because nearly every word out of his mouth -- and many of his actions -- seem to express more sympathy for people who commit violent crimes than their victims. It's going into great detail about how the guy who shot the WMATA employee "was having an episode" before even mentioning the person he killed (and expressing only rote sympathy for him, at that). It's telling his constituents that people are carjacking because they're "using the car as a warm place to stay," as if that makes it ok to point a gun in someone's face and take their car. It's tweeting out a warning about a broken water main before acknowledging -- many, many hours later -- the rolling gun battle that took place in his ward, killing an immigrant.

That, and his absolutely hamfisted, tin-eared handling of the crime bill, are why there are so many posts about Allen.

I like in the past how he blamed the city for not cleaning leaves fast enough when kids were lighting them on fire under cars.

I think he’s trying to incorporate the compassionate teachings of his masters in public health into his approach to crime. I just want to see people get arrested and prosecuted. People will get away with what they can. It’s not always some crushing sob story. Some people are just dangerous.[/quote]
