[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I live in the U Street/14th/Logan Circle corridor where we have NG troops out front of the house and “guarding” the corner candy store.  It’s absolutely ridiculous.  They don’t do ANYTHING.  And I don’t blame them, btw; they’re just doing what they’re told.  It’s not like they’re ICE.

Crime in DC had already been dropping precipitously before they showed up. Anyone who doesn’t recognize that doesn’t know what they’re talking about and is full of shit.  No doubt OP is not a DC resident.

We are on course towards a nearly 10 year low in the homicide numbers, and the pace has not changed since the national guard. End of story.[/quote]

Crime was, depending on what statistics you follow, going slightly down. But not fast enough, and not effectively enough.

Being on course towards a nearly 10 year low, when this has been an absolute crisis for decades that puts American citizens at risk, is not saying anything. That is like losing a pound or two, and acting like your weight loss journey is complete.

The goal is zero violent crimes committed. Zero, not “lowest in ten years. Zero, not “a bit less than last year.” [/quote]

Define “violent crime”. I count child molestation in that count, and it seems like our white male Christian MAGA friends are getting arrested all the time after committing abuse for years.

If we really cared about crime, shouldn’t the NG be stationed outside of churches and anywhere else youth fellowships are meeting?[/quote]
