I can't for the life of me understand why democrats keep voting for people who really don't seem to care about those of us who have been victims of crime. More poeple will be robbed, assaulted, etc. while the repeat offenders give the "reformed" juvenile justice system the finger.

If you read the Post series about repeat juvenile offenders, the law that is being utilized to gain reduced and/or light sentences was passed in the 1980s. It has been misused by DC Superior Court judges who are appointed by the US President and approved by the US Senate. The agencies charged with overseeing these offenders are federal. Serious juvenile crimes are prosecuted by the USAO. I don't see where any of the officials that DC is electing these days have anything to do with this. To the contrary, it is out of their hands. Recently Mayor Bowser created a controversy by criticizing the Superior Court for not doing its job to seek justice. It is astonishing that DC's Superior Court is not accountable to DC residents or elected officials.
