As did a whole bunch of other moderate Democrats. You’re assuming that this was determinative.

Mendelson thinks it made a big difference and he voted for RCCA and to overturn the mayors veto.

In a very rare move, the violent homeless assailant who attacked Representative Craig was actually given a sentence to time in prison, and the sentence wasn’t even suspended as they usually are:

Kenrid Khalil Hamlin was sentenced to 27 months for the attack in an elevator in Mount Vernon Triangle.

Thug should get a lot more than 2 years in jail.

H street.

H street is definitely one of the most dangerous parts of Capitol Hill. And Capitol Hill in general is way more dangerous than WOTP

I just ubered from PG County Mall to my home on the Hill, and the stretch of Bladensburg from NY Ave to H St/Benning was by far the sketchiest blocks of the whole ride. Despite the rep the PG Mall was actually very nice - clean and well
maintained, good stores, good food, very calm. Hill folk are definitely in denial about how sketch it is lately.

Several people were shot (some killed) at PG Mall in 2022 and the bank was robbed at gunpoint in January.

DC is in a bad place right now... woman stabbed to death in hotel room (randomly)... Congresswoman attacked (randomly)... Senate staffer stabbed (randomly) and that's just the past few weeks along with the now "usual" gun play over drugs, beefs, and disrespect.

Why are people not carrying cans of pinto beans and cans of wasp spray around?

Perhaps opening indoor ranges where residents can practice throwing canned beans at targets would help. A separate area can be designated at the range for people to practice spraying wasp spray into the faces of attackers. Don’t be a victim.

And yet we can't get a damn thing done to get serious about mental health in this country, because *sigh* Republicans.

They aren't so great about wellness checks - I once saw two homeless guys in an all out brawl, blood was drawn, cars dodging them as they fought on the sidewalk and in the street... I called the homeless hotline and told them what was going on, they were like "and what would you like us to do about it" - I was pretty damn frustrated after constantly hearing "don't call police on them" so I told the hotline operator "I only called to give you a heads up so that if you actually care, you'd send someone to try and intervene, because if nobody does in the next 5 minutes, my next call will be police." I ended up calling police. Fck it.

No. Apartment buildings shouldn't need more security, police should do their job.

It is pretty crazy that he apparently slept in their lobby all day, defecated on the floor(!) and no one called the cops. They must just not have any security in the building at all.

The social norm that has been established is that calling the police on a person of color who is engaged in anti-social behavior is inviting police violence and potentially death on them.

The other reality is that only the property owner or their representative can trespass someone from a building. So if you call the police, they may only come if they have committed a crime.

I called the police once about a homeless man in a tent on the corner of our town harassing people. The policeman who picked up the phone yelled at me and said “where do you want him to go?” I told him that I pay a ton in taxes every year to the county and those taxes pay his salary and that when people like me leave the area due to this crap, his job will definitely be in jeopardy. There was no response and the situation was addressed.

Cop probably put him on a bus to the nearest big city to make it someone else's problem instead. A huge number of DC tent dwellers aren't originally from DC and already shuttled from place to place.

In DC you can call non-emergency 311, as well as a number for homeless wellness checks. BTW, cops also have access to this, so not sure why he was being such a prima donna. If the person is threatening. by all means call the cops.

I once called 311 because I was concerned about the unhorsed person’s wellbeing. I can’t imagine a situation in which I’d call 311 to have any person removed from standing on a public property. It’s a free country last time I checked.

By the way, Netflix has an excellent short documentary on this issue.
