Ok good luck with all that. Back in the real world, we need more police and harsher sentences.


And ambulances at the bottom of cliffs . . .

DC doesn’t control the Ellipse; USSS and maybe NPS law enforcement are responsible.

This isn’t a city government issue.

I can't imagine that someone who beat someone to death with a pole was doing a detailed cost-benefit analysis, adjusting for the length of the expected prison sentence. In some rare cases, that might have an effect, but not these. This appears to be a symptom of the failure of our social supports.

Plus the penalties for violent crimes in dc are being reduced. It’s veto proof

Three years in a row at 200+ murders and everyone on the Council gets a free toaster.

A homeless man beat another homeless man to death with a metal pole right next to the White House. Absolutely insane. The city is out of control.

Apparently it even affected White House helicopters.
