Democratic Rep. Angie Craig vowed on Tuesday to fight for tougher penalties for repeat offenders after she was assaulted by a crazed suspect with a long rap sheet inside the elevator of her Washington, DC, apartment building last week.

Kendrid Hamlin, who is believed to be homeless, allegedly punched Craig and grabbed her by the shoulder and collarbone during the early morning attack last Thursday, authorities said. He was arrested later that night and charged with assaulting the congresswoman.

“I was assault No. 13 on his record,” Craig told CBS News on Tuesday. “And I’m gonna do everything in my power to make sure there’s not a 14, a 15, a 20.”

“If you throw somebody in jail for 10 days and think, ‘There’s your punishment, and we’re gonna let you right back on the street,’ what the hell do you think’s gonna happen?” she added.

Hours after the assault on Craig, the GOP-led House voted 250-173 to overturn a revamping of DC’s criminal code, which lowered the maximum penalties for burglary, carjacking and robbery. Craig joined 31 Democrats in voting for the measure.[/quote]
This interview is absolutely devastating for Charles Allen and the DC Council. Just devastating. I hope they keep talking about “colonialism” just to show how extreme and out of touch they are. They’re embarrassing themselves and this city and they can’t even see it.

I fully expect to see the council call for a ban on elevators. People should take the stairs because it is healthier.[/quote]
