[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am fully opposed to everything Trump is doing in DC, and find his rhetoric reprehensible.

However I am frustrated with my fellow DC residents who think the solution here is to simply deny that we have serious crime issues, or that the current status of unhoused people in the District is fine, or that juvenile crime isn't a significant problem that is linked to a variety of other issues DC desperately needs to address (education of at risk kids, graduation rates, joblessness among young black men, teen pregnancies, child abuse and neglect in the city, etc.).

Trump is an idiot who is trying really hard to become a fascist dictator, but going Pollyanna about the very real crime issues in the city is not the solution.

And yes I am a loooooongtime resident of the District, and I live in a neighborhood with a long history of crime issues that had gotten much, much better between 2010 and 2020, but has taken a turn for the worse since Covid that really concerns me.[/quote]

There is crime in every American city. Per Capita crime is HIGHER in red states. Sending stormtroopers into DC as a show of force by an authoritarian leader is not the solution.[/quote]
