"Sydnor was accused of approaching a woman sitting in her car in Southeast Washington in October — brandishing a firearm and demanding that she exit the vehicle and give him her keys and cellphone, according to charging documents. He later pleaded guilty to attempted robbery, a reduction from his initial charge of armed robbery.
In January, prosecutors agreed to Sydnor’s release from jail before sentencing, though he was subject to high-intensity supervision. The U.S. attorney’s office in D.C. declined to explain that decision — with a spokesperson saying Monday that they cannot comment on pending litigation. Sydnor’s attorney in the case declined to comment."
And this is Charles Allen and Matt Frumin's fault?
What is "high-intensity" supervision? I know it isn't what it says but I want to know just because.
It involves an ankle monitor; he did not show up to have one fitted.
And?? They just let him stay loose?
That policy is among many democrat “criminal reform” policies.
Democrats just tried to pass even more radical “criminal reform” in D.C.:

Democrats obviously do not care about crime victims whatsoever.
Why do you keep voting these people into office? Seriously, why??
Because the majority of DC voters share these views and prioritize decreasing incarceration over public safety or justice for victims. The DC electorate in the aggregate just doesn’t care about crime the way you do. Nobody is hiding their views and soft on crime candidates keep winning elections.

She was a young girl from Harrisonburg. I’m sure she had no idea and not a lot of money. Poor thing.
She was actually from arlington.
Originally, but living in Harrisonburg. There’s so much development and change in DC, I can see how family in Arlington wouldn’t be keeping track of which neighborhoods are relatively safe and which aren’t. The hotel website is misleading about the neighborhood at best

She wasn't young. She was 31.
DP. Yes, and...? The hotel website is misleading, and if you're not familiar with DC (or have been living elsewhere for years) I can see how it wouldn't immediately trigger a sketchy alarm for her. And it's $200/night. I'm a fairly savvy person and would expect that a hotel at that price point would at minimum be in a reasonably safe area.
+1 I would expect that hotel to have securitt measures i place and the removal of anyone like this guy.
any hotel that has room doors that open directly outside is sketchy and unsafe and ground zero for drugs dealers, pimps and prostitutes since they don;t have to walk through a lobby

You are naive if you think price = safety. Think of cities like San Francisco, Chicago or Boston with many nice hotels in not-so-nice parts of the city. You can check crime stats for most places online before you book.
Do those hotels have unhoused individuals living there? I'm not understanding how this murderer was able to walk around and security didn't remove him?
The word is homeless. HOMELESS.

Echostage is in such a sketchy area, with a homeless shelter across the street that has so many people who wander around during and after concerts getting high and looking for money. You know they are from there because they wear what resembles a beer garden bracelet.
I hate having to take my teen down there for concerts but I won't let her and her friends go alone and I always wait for them in my car, which allows me to see the crap that goes on around there. I believe this is where she was going.

Will add that I'm glad this terrible crime is in the news and others can know to stay away from that hotel.

NE DC really is a sht-hle is what I am concluding. I got roasted on here for saying this a while back, but I ended up at the PG County Mall for lunch and ubered back to NE DC. Despite the rep of “PG County” and that mall, it was actually perfectly nice and not at all sketchy. The worst places I saw as I ubered back were absolutely NE DC on Bladensburg.
Agree with you on PG, I go to that mall all the time and it’s really not sketchy. But there are perfectly fine parts of NE, and there are plenty of spots in NW that are just as sketchy as many in NE. There really is no “one size fits all” for any quadrant.
And a hapless, innocent tourist or visitor gets to find out the hard way.
I mean, that's why my advice for tourists is never "avoid SE/NE," its "stick to the tourist spots." Ivy City is not that. And FWIW I go to that little complex with the Lane, Other Half, etc. pretty regularly, but I know the area is sketch and I have my guard up in a way a tourist might not.
PP here. Wise advice, but our nation's capital shouldn't be dangerous for tourists and visitors.

There is so much incompetence coursing through the veins of DC Government that it's laughable when folks think DC statehood is a good idea.
