A Navy veteran was running who seemed to have some totally reasonable law and order focus (just righting the apple cart a little). But he was a Republican so , you know, he'd be bad for DC and no one voted for him. Well, I did.


What was his name?

Parroting Tucker's talking points incessantly is not advisable. Do you know, for instance, that the *current* law does not classify the incident as a carjacking? See here: https://www.fox5dc.com/news/dc-mayor-bowser-criticized-for-comments-after-doctor-struck-killed-by-his-stolen-vehicle. This is one of umpteen reasons why the code needed to be updated. Your opposition to getting these issues fixed - thereby making it is easier for prosecutors to secure convictions - is not making DC any safer.


So you agree with lowering maximum penalties for carjackings?

It's murder. We still prosecute that, right?

Cna you show in the bill where it would have classified this as a carjacking?


Sure. But it'd be even better if you found it yourself. You can do that here: https://revisedcode.org/

Oh Sorry, he was a former merchant marine running for at-large. The other republican candidates seemed totally reasonable on crime as well.. I disagreed on one or two other issues, but voted them because...crime.

But, my council member has no shame. Nadeau will not change or grow. She'll dig in deeper, even cynically, I think.

Same here. Zero hope for DC until they stop voting for more of the same.
