[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Lewis George said using curfews as a tool with young people is “dangerous,” pointing to the presence of federal troops and immigration agents in the city who she said are “not individuals who are trained in de-escalation,” and “are not accountable to to D.C. residents.”

Democrats going to Democrat.  It's now "dangerous" to discipline the budding criminal.

I was open to Janeese, have many friends who are publicly backing her, but everything she has said and done this week has made me really, really nervous.

She always sees crime from the point of view of the criminals, and never from the perspective of the victims of violent crime, and of law abiding people who want to feel safe. Maybe this is because of her experience as a prosecutor? But it's no good. Pouring money into rec centers and giving criminals jobs is fine. [b]But a mayor needs to be very, very clear that people who commit violent crimes will be punished.[/b] I've never heard her talk about punishment.

+1 I don’t see why it has to be either or. Do the crime prevention programs but also punish crimes when they happen. [/quote]

Wild, that's exactly what Janeese has said and done.[/quote]

Wrong. She's voted against making strangulation a felony, she's voted against allowing landlords to evict adjudicated violent criminals, and her highest-paid campaign staffer is the co-chair of the Defund MPD Coalition and a police abolitionist.

Everything that she has done indicates that she will continue to coddle criminals, not punish them.[/quote]

There you go cherry picking things out of context. You think we're too dumb to see political cheap shots? I stop caring about the rest of what you write. It reflects really poorly on McDuffie.[/quote]

What is the proper context of campaigning with and praising an avowed antisemite who accepted bribes? What is the proper context of hiring a police abolitionist to be your highest-paid staffer? What is the proper context of voting against making strangulation a felony?

These are not political cheap shots. They are facts and they reveal a pattern of consistently poor judgement. And these facts portray someone who will coddle criminals, not make our city safer.[/quote]

Let's start with strangulation as a felony. Was it part of a broader bill? Was it being done in a clear or haphazard manner that would have muddied issues in the courts? Do you have any evidence that Janeese wants to let people off the hook for strangulation?

You're a political hack [/quote]
