This isn't getting anywhere near the attention it deserves. [/quote]

Yup. Prosecutorial discretion at USAO was driving the increase in crime. WTF is happening in that office? This has been a long term trend and now the chickens have really come home to roost in the past 18 months.

Also I want to point out this quote from the WaPo article:

[quote][i]
Pinto recently sponsored emergency legislation, overwhelmingly passed by the council, that makes it easier for judges to detain people charged with violent offenses before trial and broadens the types of crimes for which juveniles would face a presumption of pretrial detention.

[b]On Thursday, Smith, D.C.’s police chief, credited that new law with authorities detaining 21 of 43 juveniles arrested across the city in a recent week on charges of carjacking and robberies. Had it not been for the new law, Smith told residents, “those young people would have been on the street.”[/b][/i][/quote]

Sounds like the new law is already taking a bite out of youth crime with immediate impacts. [/quote]
