[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DC is desperate for tourism dollars, so incredibly short sighted in everything they do.

I live and work in DC and am as invested in you in this issue if not more so, but this is total nonsense courtesy of Tucker Carlson. No serious observer who actually cares enough about crime and justice in DC to understand the facts would write such a thing. For those with the integrity to acknowledge that they may not be as well educated about what actually happened as they would like to be, this is about as good a summary as I’ve seen:

And if you sneer at that article because it’s in The New Yorker, you are exactly the type of person who should be reading it.[/quote]

What we need is to ignore the loud contingent of SJWs and non-incarceration policy pushing non-profits who yell loudly at council meetings and lobby to foist these lax policies on the city. It’s not fking working. Stop.[/quote]

How about you put aside these ridiculous labels and focus on the actual substance? We can get a lot more done when we’re focused on tangible policy proposals than when we’re slinging insults at one another.[/quote]
