DC currently has no functional govt and it is anarchy. Congress needs to step in to restore basic law and order.[/quote]

Uh…. thats because DC had a way lower murder rate in 2012 that all those Midwest and southern shithole cities, but guess what, the per capita murder rate in those places is HIGHER than in DC right now.

What is everyone's fixation with per capita crime rates?  It is a terrible metric by which to judge the quality of life across different areas of the country. [/quote]

If you don't want to deal with crime, you invent new statistics to make it seem rare.

Meanwhile look what's happening. Crime has plummeted in most big cities. The opposite is happening here. Crime is skyrocketing. DC is a huge outlier when it comes to crime. We now have about the same number of homicides as Baltimore, which is pretty incredible. [/quote]
