[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For those claiming DC is less safe, there have been 25 murders since the NG came on August 12 in almost 4 months.

Previously, there were 100 murders from January 1 to August 11.

For comparison, DC had 274 murders in 2023. How is it factually less safe?

But if crime was already trending down (and it was) it would be lower than 2023 NG or not. [/quote]

It was trending below 2023, but after the NG the rate dropped by half. There is no way you can say with a straight face that it is less safer since the NG came if there are 25 murders in almost 4 months in a city that previously recorded 100 murders in 7 1/2 months. You can either say you don’t care or lie to yourself because you don’t want to concede a point that gives Trump a win, but you’d be factually incorrect. [/quote]

Ok and what is the long term solution? NG cannot live here, I know one who will stop being paid the wage difference (she earns more than the NG pay in her normal job) after six months and start losing money. I don't even know if other employers pay the six months of wage difference the way ours does.

For the record, I just wanted them to fix the prosecution/conviction/no papering issues. Unclear if they did that, but of they have improved those issues at USAO, I do give credit there. [/quote]
