[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What can we do at this point? (Besides vote against Charles Allen but I was already going to that)[/quote]

Pretty much nothing.  Current DC political leadership, and anyone that might foreseeably be elected here anytime soon, believes as a matter of policy that it is better to tolerate a higher crime rate in order to reduce incarceration and avoid damaging the life prospects of offenders to the extent possible.  They aren’t pro-crime or anti-public order per se, but those are less important considerations.  Crime victims are regrettable collateral damage. [/quote]

This is the view of the far left -- that every kid who beats up an old woman on the bus is one hug away from becoming a brain surgeon. We don't have to elect far left extremists. In fact, one of them, Elissa Silverman, is fighting for reelection right now. Get rid of her and send a message to the council. [/quote]

Much, much higher penalties for drivers who speed; much, much lower penalties for people who commit violent crimes. That's their formula. [/quote]
