[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=jsteele]I thought you wanted the police to respond. From what I see on X, the guy is holed up in a building. The police are trying to get him out.

OP is expressing frustration at living in a crime-ravaged community, not at the police themselves. Stop being purposefully obtuse. It’s not cute.[/quote]

Exactly. And it’s not cute at all. It’s very dickish. [/quote]

I feel like, and it’s sad i read this site so much that I can parse this out, that Jeff is so progressive, so sure he’s on the side for which “the arc always bends to justice” that he feels it’s okay to glibly retort to annoying who posts here advocating for strict on crime penalties. Like of course we should all be proponents for weak sht like “violence interruptors”.

I own a bunch of property in DC and basically know this city better than anyone. Trust me. I’ve been here since Kim’s karate commercials and fking Hechingers sold tools. I lived here during the crack years. I’ve seen the same endless and meaningless platitudes from people saying that that we need to just commission studies that look at combating the roots causes of poverty rather than just actually tackling crime. It’s sucks to see that time is a flat circle and we are just going back to 1989 or whatever.

Anyway, long story short. Jeff police’s this site and ensure that it’s liberal bent is preserved and anyone who disturbs the peace has their post deleted lol.[/quote]

Whole site is like that.  And it’s the unhinged, extremist-type people who post here as much as it is Jeff maintaining this echo-chamber.

It’s progressives operating in an imaginary world of “what I wish it was” rather than “what it is.” They do this all the f’ing time, the consequences are always disastrous, & they never learn from it.

Unskilled economic migrants come on in; defund the police (but lie about it); no cash bail; letting protesters/ rioters have “room to destroy”; being nice to Iran and hope Iran respects our weakness; on & on & on.[/quote]

This post is such a mishmash of uninformed nonsense that it’s impossible to respond to.

Like “room to destroy”  — what even is that?  Voices in PP’s head?

The reality, of course, is that DC and other cities experienced a lot of peaceful demonstrations and some very minor crime (much of it apparently initiated by off duty cops and oath keepers) during the summer of 2020.  Cops responded by beating and shooting peaceful protester with rubber bullets (including my son, who was standing calmly and chanting a few feet from me).   Meanwhile the neo-Nazis who flooded DC to march for Trump and beat up random Black people were never manhandled.

But in PP’s world of crazy, DC and other cities were “destroyed” by BLM protesters.  There’s no arguing with this kind of nonsense. [/quote]

Yeah, you’re out of the loop. The Baltimore mayor said protesters should “have room to destroy” and provided a pretty milquetoast police response to the violent protests.

Let me guess, you’re the same person who is very apathetic about CVS’ closing from looting because “they have insurance!”, right?

Sadly, your ilk is driven the policy these days. I know it “feels good” to waste money on violence interruptors that don’t interrupt violence or have USAOs who decline to prosecute 67% of cases (granted we had no crime lab for like 2 years), but the rest of us who choose to live in the city actually have to worry about our cars getting car jacked while our kids are in them. Basically we get to live on planet earth and you get to show off your yard signs in Alexandria and feel virtuous.[/quote]

Or maybe they are the meek who shall inherit the Earth?[/quote]
