[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] I mean the whole thing is so obvious. The city is half haves and half have nots. The have nots have strong voting power and can ensure weak on crime bills and vote for weak on crime candidates. [/quote] This is racist dog-whistle bullsh*t. Talking points straight from Fox News. I've lived in DC for over 30 years. I've lived in the rich part of town and I've lived in the poor part of town. Guess what? The people in poorer parts of town actually care more about crime than the people in the richer parts do. Because crime affects them more, and they don't have the resources to insulate themselves from it. But they also have a lot more interaction with law enforcement and see with their own eyes that a lot of it isn't effective at fighting crime and is even counterproductive. So no, more of the same isn't appealing. But it's not because people are rooting for the criminals. [/quote]
