[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I know some will complain about DC Home Rule issues, but I do think the US Congress has a responsibility to protect citizens visiting from outside of DC to see the sights or to do a Capitol Hill visit.  A safe environment is more important than woke progressive politics in Capitol city.[/quote]

+1 Exactly--thank you!![/quote]

Explain the correlation between an updated criminal code that goes into place in three years and tourist safety. I'm very curious[/quote]

Does there need to be a correlation?  The fact that the revisions would not take effect for several years does not make it any less stupid.  If the DC Council wants to be treated like a serious institution, then they should act like one.  Carjackings, street robberies, etc. are out of control around here.[/quote]

Please explain how these changes would lead to more car jackings, street robberies, etc. And please read through this before you give the tired excuses about "lowering sentences"

I heard Matt Graves, the USAO, and his staff speak about concerns several times. Testimony is here. tps://www.justice.gov/usao-dc/pr/us-attorneys-office-testifies-hearing-revised-criminal-code-act-2021

WAMU gets a bit into the propoganda weeds at times, has really lost a lot of credibilty on some issues. [/quote]
