[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]And DC has that extra special problem of having federal prosecutors who are not accountable to DC citizens, and these prosecutors keep dropping the ball and keep putting violent criminals back out on the street.[/quote]

Pretty sure that the federal prosecutors tasked with prosecuting local crime in DC would disagree.[/quote]

Sure doesn't seem that way.  Seems they are more focused on "oh, cut him a break, give him a second chance and a third chance and a fourth chance" and "oh, he's a minor so we should go easy" on even the most blatantly vicious attacks happening on DC's streets.

Look, we don't give a shit about the kid busted for smoking a blunt.  We care about the teens who assault people in packs at metro stops, we care about the packs of teens who rob stores as flash mobs, the fact that kids are undeterred and in fact emboldened because they've seen so many others do it and get away with it.[/quote]

What did your council member vote?  https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/dr-gridlock/wp/2016/01/27/d-c-council-says-no-to-higher-penalties-for-crimes-committed-on-metro/   At a metro stop at a hospital [foggy bottom-GW] I once saw an elderly woman who needed medical attention sitting on the platform with a few metro workers for over 20 minutes before they helped her with additional people.  That was just the 20 I was standing and waiting.  [/quote]

Where's the vote tally?[/quote]
