That's not restorative justice. Restorative justice would let the citizens meet the hammer wielder and apologize for their extravagant wealth.


True justice will be when the judges's hammer comes down hard on the perpetrator with a harsh cumulative sentence based on 50-plus counts of burglary and vandalism.


They should go all out to find these guys. It looked like two in the video and one has a very distinctive gait. The scooter was likely rented. What company was it - has district 2 spoken to looking into scooter rentals? There also HAS to be more video. If they came out on CT Ave, surely they passed some businesses. Is District 2 canvassing for this? Fingerprints?


If you read the thread you would know the answers to your questions are "no." USAO doesn't prosecute property crime anyway. Like Bowser said, "This isn't Maybury." You must be new here. The scooter was likely rented with a stolen card. Go back to your detective stories.

Many judges at DC Sup Ct and DC Court of Appeals have never stepped away from their former public defender mindset. Comes down hard? You must be thinking of NoVA.

No, from video, small hand held device, not hammer.

Was it actually a hammer? That's a lot of effort to smash a car window. Pressure point devices are way more efficient.

Replacing windows is what restorative justice should be. But the apology and useless talk is what it often turns out to be.



That's restitution, and already a part of law, not restorative. Restorative Justice is about social relationships, not paying debts.

Never forget the Commissioners who called for a reduction in the police budget and to get rid of overtime.

American taxpayers footing the bill because DC government is incompetent.

Feds should put an income tax surcharge on every DC resident making more than $150k. They can afford to pay for this.


Yeah, right. Way to drive the tax base out of the city. The top DC bracket is already 10+ percent.


Smart ones already left or they’re in the process of leaving.
