[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]“agreed to stay out of Northwest DC”?  Is this the criminal justice version of NIMBY?  He can be turned loose on society, as long as he doesn’t bother anyone in NW DC?  Either he presents a danger to society or he doesn’t (and it appears he does).[/quote]

Sounds like when someone is banned from a city or county as part of a sentence.  Here, it's a neighborhood or area.  [/quote]

Well, if someone is banned from a city or county, it’s because the community doesn’t want them.  If the entire community is a neighborhood, like a HOA, then it makes sense to ban someone from the entire neighborhood community.

To my understanding, Northwest DC is not an independent community, but an integral part of DC that should be on an equal basis as the rest of the district. Why is Northwest DC considered a separate community from the rest of DC and why do they deserve more security than the rest of DC?  How is this equal justice?  [/quote]

First, NWDC covers most of DC. Second, the judge must have a reason, like, maybe that is the kid's crime "territory" and in other locations he doesn't have the street cred to do the crime; he might be in a gang for all you know. We don't know the judge's reason for attaching a particular area to this kids' behavior.[/quote]
