Turning into?  You must be a transplant.  DC has always been a safe haven for thugs and criminals.  Believe me, the current DC is much nicer than the DC of my childhood.  I've seen DC progress from a deplorable crap hole to a vibrant city.  These type of things take time.  It's not the mayor that is the problem though.  It's the residents.  DC has good people who try to pacify criminals to turn their lives around.  However, it never works.  It's more humane to waste money on social programs than killing them or mandating force sterilization for certain populations of people.  Unfortunately, us law abiding citizens must cope with the wild predators in the most humane way possible.  Most believe that all forms of life are precious even the criminal elements.  You either have to suck it up or relocate to an area where the locals don't coddle criminals.  [/quote]

All I can think about is that proposal they had where they wanted to pay violent criminals each $1000 or whatever it was a month not to murder someone.  That was when I knew the Left had lost its last marble.[/quote]

That was councilmember mcduffie I believe? I see two major missteps by current Mayor - the 8 homeless shelters that will just be money flushed, and she has not shown leadership on reforming the DC youth rehabilitation (catch and release with anonymity) act. Nobody is actually working with or tracking these kids, and they just graduate to greater degrees of asocial criminality. The rats are also a huge problem. Oh and she hasn't done much with education. Yeah I'd agree shes a dud. I do like the 311 number- please use it to call in all the petty nuisance stuff you see. Might as well![/quote]
